SCHLEY COUNTY NEWS.
Rev. D. J. Apperson, of Poindexter,
can show up a record that is hard to
beat, lie is in his eightieth year, has
preached the gospel forty nine years,
baptised one thousand and twenty per
sons, preached eight hundred funerals
and married six hundred couples. The
old man is still healthy and strong and
seems good for many years to come.
rof. S. J. Cole arrived Saturday from
Higli t School ro °harge of the Ellaville
the first Monday in Sep
tember. He will devote the time enter
vening, to getting acquainted with the
patrons and looking after the interest of
the school. Mr. Cole is a young man of
fine address and we hope that both, lie
and the patrons will he pleased with the
selection of him by the trustees.
From the large quantity of goods that
are unloaded at the depot in this place,
it would appear that the merchants of
Ellaville are controling a large share of
the Schley county trade. Well, there is
no reason why they should not be al.le
to sell goods as cheap, or even a little
cheaper than city merchants with large
rents to pay: and it is the best bargains
that attracts trade.
The Ellaville warehouse will be repair
ed, overhauled, and opened nexf*Monday
for the season. Mr. Will. P. Hornady,
well and favorably known to every fann
er m Schley county, will take charge of
it for Mr. Murray, and under his super
vision our cotton planters can feel abso
lo tely certain of fair liberal and honest
treatment in the management of their
cotton. Read ad. on eighth page.
Americus Recorder.—Mr. Louis Hill,
of Schley County, father of Mr. J. M.
Hill who was shot in the fleshy part of
the thigh one Sunday afternoon while
resisting arrest, came to Americns one
day this week and swore out two war
rants for Mr. Chas. Hays, of the 17th
district one for assault and attempt to
murder, and the other for carrying a
concealed weapon. Mr. Hays came in
and gave bond for his appearance at the
November term of Sumter Superior
Court. Mr. Hays, friends are very con
fident that there is nothing in the cases
and feel that he will be acquitted when
they are tried.
The Bill, introduced by Hon. A. C.
Murray, for the Ellaville District, to pre
vent stock from running at large, has
been passed in the house, anil transmit-
ted to the senate and doubtless will pass
that branch of the General Assembly in
a few days. The similar hill for the 785
district, has also been introduced and
read in the house. A similar bill was in
troduced for the 94(ith district, but on
close examination of the two petitions,
one for and the other against, it was
discovered that those who opposed the
passage of such a bill, was in the major
ity, as between the white voters, and
Mr. Murray on leaving for Atlanta on
Monday last, signified his intention of
withdrawing the bill.

Passing through tire South eastern
portion of Schley county this week we
noticed some as pr tty .farms as any
country can boast. Neat aud comfort a
ble residences were many. Broad fields
of opening cotton, ripening corn and
lsirge orchards of luscious fruit surround
ed them. Delightful shady groves
fronted them. Well kept horses and
mu,eK romped and kicked at flies in
tf ie J °t. Sleek cows, and fat hogs graz
ed in t,ie pastures. Chickens, ducks,
turkeys and other poultry scratched in
the groves. The farmers bad laid aside
the plough and the hoe, gathered their
cotton baskets and sacks and were busy
picki g cotton. Everything wore an
air of peace, plenty and prosperity and
made us feel proud to live in such a
county.

CAMP MEETING
The Camp meeting at Buck creek clos
ed to day. The accessions were not nu
onerous, only about a dozen in all, but
the attendance was large, the interest
strong, the sermons excellent and all en
joyed a good okl time religious warming
up. Eight preachers were in attendance
Rev. J. B. McGeehee. the presiding elder,
and Revs, Howard McGeehee J. B. K.
Smith, Charles Branch, W. W. Tidwell.
J. B. Wardlaw, R. F. Williamson, and
W. J. Flanders. The tents were all oc
cupied, but one, and every body was
well taken care of whether they carried
a lunch basket or not.

meeting of the s. a. s. at cedartown
Schley county’s delegates to the meet
ing of the State Agricultural Society
held last week at Cedartown returned
Saturday. They were much pleased
with the results of the meeting and speak
in the highest terms of the beauty of Ce
dartown and the liberal hospitality of
its citizens.
From the Americas Recorder we clip
j the following brief synopsis of the pro
ceedings of the meeting:
The semi-ftnual meetings of the State
Agricultural Society are growing each
year more practical and interesting.
The addresses are no longer the eloquent
platitudes of aspirants for political hon
ors, hut are practical and pointed illus
trations of the best methods of farming.
There is a disposition among the mem
bers to relegate politics to the rear and
devote their time to the discussion of
agricultural questions.
This disposition was emphatically
shown at the recent meeting in Cedar
town, when the trick by which it was
sought to make the Society endorse the
Olive bill was set down upon with an
emphasis that jarred the systems of those
who have for years been attempting to
run the Society as a political machine.
The address of Hon. W. J. Northen,
president of the Society, was a strong il
lustration of the change which has taken
place in the feelings of the members of
the Society. Instead of a wail over the !
difficulties which beset the farmer’s path
it was an encouraging statement of what
had been accomplished by Georgia farm
ers, and what other farmers can do by
intelligent effort. It was a practical pa
per by a practical man and calculated to
do great good. The Southern Cultiva
tor promptly and generously offered to
gratuitously print ten thousand copies
of the address for distribution by the
farmers’ excursion party on their trip
the Northwest.
The address of Mr. Rueben Jones on
melon raising was as meaty and juicy as
one of his famous melons, of which he
exhibited a seventy pound specimen.
While he explained the best varieties
to plant, the best method of cultivation
and the profits that had been realized,
he also pointed out tlxe difficulties of the
melon raiser and the necessity of intelli
gent and industrious effort.
The paper of Capt, Warren, of Augus
ta, on grasses, was a most valuable expo
sition of the profits of raising forage, as
well as full of useful hints as to eliarac
ter of different grasses. Capt. Warren
speaks from experience, as he has a grass
farm which is making him a fortune.
The invitation extended by Maj. Gless
ner, on behalf of the Central railroad,
for the Sooiety to select ten representa
tives for a farmers’ excursion to the
Northwest, was accepted in the spirit
with which it was given, as evidence of
the desire of Georgia’s greatest railroad
to aid the farmers in improving their
methods of farming by giving them an
opportunity of comparing their methods
with those of other sections. Great in
terest is taken in this excursion and its
results.
The representatives were selected by
congressional districts as follows: First,
\y, R. Kemp: second A. O. Barry; third,
j, b. James; fourth, C. L. Moses; fifth,
L. F. Livingston; sixth, R. A. Nisbet;
seventh, J. O- Waddle; eighth, W. J.
Northen; ninth, W. H. Perkinson. tenth,
Jas. Barrett. They are all practical, in
telligent, progressive farmers, and will
make a delegation of which Georgia
may well feel proud. They are men, too
who will make good use of their oppor
tunitiesforobservation.andtheirncigh
hors and whole State will be benefited
by them,
A MODEL FARM.
One of the pret tiest farms in Georgia
is that of Mr. II. H. Singletary, of Schley
county. We passed it a few days ago
and marked it on our list of model conn
try homes. The manor house is gothic
in architectural design, large, roomy,
and handsomely finished. All the sur
roundings,—the shrubery in the yard,
the oak grove in front, the apple and
peach orchard on the east and the green
fields of luxurious cotton—are beautiful
and attractive. The cotton fields con
taining probably fifty acies. looks as if
they had been cultvated like a garden.
The cotton stalks are almost as high as
a man’s head and are w ell fruited. If
it does not average a bale to the acre we
are a poor judge of cotton. The corn
fields are equally as good. The stalks
are close in the drill, but each bears a
large, heavy ear, many two, and some
three ears. We have never had the
pleasure of meeting Mr. Singletary, but
learn that he is a native of Schley coun
ty and lives on his place. He is certain
ly a good farmer and liberal provider.
Mr. T. A. Collins is too busy this week
to write an advertisement, and calls vour
attention to the space he proposes fiiii .14
