McLEOJ), Ellavilie Georgia, f oval '" netrttrtowttf r ¥ 1 ............................ Rust and caterpillers are worrying our cotton planters just now. The campnxeeting at Buck creek has taken nearly everybody off this week and town looks dull. A new mercantile firm has been formed and another big store will soon be opened in Ellaville. The colored Baptist have been carry ing on a revival for the past three weeks and are still keeping it up. The cotton crop of Schley is not so promising as it was a few weeks hack but the corn crop will be very large. Dried peaches are being brought m bv the bushel. We notice some of our merchants filling hogsheads with them. The pay train on the Savannah – Western R. R. passed through yesterday and gladdened the hearts of the em ployees. One of our farmers who lives four miles South of town says he has the fin est hogs this year that lie ever raised and attributes it all to the no fence law, in his neighborhood. Peacock – Arrington, one of our most enterprising firms, are receiving new goods and reserves space for a big ad.vci - tiseuient. to be Hilled as soon as they get their new stock arranged. It is rumored that Rev. J, B. K. Smith of Columbus contemplates moving his family to Ellaville and engaging in the practice of law. Mr. Smith lias many friends in this section and would he wel comed here in any capacity. B liile attending the campmeeting this week Miss Ola Flanders lost the medal awarded her by the Ellaville High School lor recitation.

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. AMERICUS COTTON MARKET. The following are the quotations in Americus for this week. Furnished by L. G. Council. Good middling, 11 cents. M 10* „ Low 11 11 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. Mr. Harry Lindsay’s new residence be* gins to loom up imposingly. 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 ttext week. Ovrscuta! 4 .
