By industry and economy a number of them in Ellaville and dffferertt parts of the county have saved enough to invest in neat cottages, ana are every year adding to their possessions. About their dwell ings are well kept vegetable gardens, and growing fruits and flowers. They raise their own chickens and pigs, keep up their schools and churches, ha’ : e their charitable organizations, and pass their lives in peace and contentment "under their own vine and fig tree."

It was very much feared that the oat crop was killed by the freeze last week, hut now that enough time has elapsed to make careful examination, our farm ers are of the opinion that they are uninjured. This is due to the fact that it was a dry freeze, Had the ground been wet, it would have cracked open exposing the roots, and as natural result the crop would have been ruined. This would have been a serious loss to the planters, as a large acreage h«u^ been sown in the county. A weed in the garden can be easi ly de stroyed when its first starts.
