THE GEORGIANS RETURN The Georgia farmers returned last week from their visit to homes, farms, vineyards, orchards, and dairies of the Ohio farmers. They were delighted with the trip, charmed with the open hearted hospitality with which they were met, highly interested in w hat they saw and learned of tire arts and methods of the inteligent and thrifty Western fann ers, but above all they were more thor oughly eovinced that of all the States in this glorious Union Georgia is the grand est and best. They admired the thrift and energy of Western people and resolv ed to adopt many of their arts and meth ods, but are content to remain on Geor gia soil to do it, and will extend a hearty welcome to the thrifty Western farmers who desire to comedown here and make homes among us. Of the trip the Southern Alliance Farmer says; The excursion of farmers to the West was a most delightful one, and the re turned agriculturists are loud in tlieir praise of Maj. Glessner and their thanks to the Central railroad for the royal time given them. They visited the various places men tioned on their programe and were over whelmed with hospitality. We ax*e delighted with one of the results of the expedition which is, that every man came back more than ever contented with Goergia and the South. While they are profuse in their expressions of pleasure at what they saw, and of appre ciation of the improved methods of farmers, yet they say that with machinery, better business among Georgia agriculturalists, that Georgia will be the grandest home in world, and that they expect to see it so. None of them want to move from the “olit red hills,” but they are more ever determined to make these old hills the .‘garden of the South. this is the case with the Georgians it i not so with many whom they met. The Western men never lired of about Georgia and Georgia’s possibilities Many of the Western farmers will seek homes in our State the coming Mr. S. H. Ellis, Master of the State Grange, in a letter to Commission er Glessner, has this to say of the el e t oi the farmer's excursion. “I will not attempt to say what the effect of your visit will be upon your party, but I know that hundreds of our farmers who have had the pleasure of ineetiug face to face, in friendly converse these representatives farmers of Goergia have a different feeling for, and a differ ent opinion of, the South than th y bad three weeks ago. An occasional visit of that kind of the people of tl.e South to the North, and of the people of the North to the South, will accomplish more to wards bringing about the kindliest feel ings and fraternal brotherhood between the two sections than all the legislation and the work of the politicians eouid do in the next hundred years.” UNCLE PRIMUS’ PHILOSOPHY.

Christian, of Lumpkin, Ga. writes the Atlanta Journal thus:— 14 From three-fo m lhs of one acre of poor land I have gathered 1.157 pound of seed cotton and have half as much more to pick. I have fifteen acres planted in cotton and twelve in corn and from the fifteen acres in cotton I have ginned and packed six bales of cotton and am ex pecting to get six more. From the twelve acres in corn I have secured 2,300 bundles of fodder and have gathered 103 bushels of corn and five and a half acres of the best land to gather yet; all of which 1 have made and gathered myself excepting th^ expenditure of about $35 lor hoeing and pulling fodder.” Christian Index:—There are 40 coun ties in middle Georgia, and of this num ber 32 have adopted the no fence law, and in each of the remaining8 counties, there are certain districts which have also adopted the law. Without an ex ception these eonnties report that the “no fence law” has given general satis faction. SCHLEY COUNTY NEWS.
