Mr. Editor: As The Weekly is expecting to hear from me I will just drop a few lines as I go along. I had a nice journey from Hamp ton via the Central of Ga. Ry., and arrived here safe and on time. Passed through some fine sections of country and some that look al most worthless. Almost every farm house had a little syrup mill in the lot, but I could not see where they grew the cane. I be lieve a Henry county farmer would starve in some of these sections. It was a rare thing to see a hog running at large that would weigh over fifty pounds, and cattle were in proportion. But, they tell me that the people are living and pros pering all through these sections— I tell yoti, it made me feel good when I could see a cotton field. After reaching the city and par taking of some refreshments, I pro ceeded to see the town. At first it was hard to believe that it was Sunday, though part of the stores were closed. I saw several parties going out on the cars into the country to hunt with guns and amnnition. Savannah is a fine city in looks, nice broad, white streets, plenty of romp—dQn’t look like it was bun dled up ;> to move. Everybody takes his time; nobody seems to he in a Hurry like we are up home. Great changes have taken place since I was here. The city has grown wonderfully. It is also un der very different circumstances. Then it was in a turmoil of excite ment. It was expected every hour for a hot battle to be fought between the Federal and Confed erate armies. The battleship was expected momentarily with the rising of the tide, but it did not take place there. I next took a car and went to Thunderbolt, where I spent an hour watching the oyster fishers catch oysters. Thunderbolt is a nice place to while away a few weary moments. The next suburb is the Isle of Hope, which is also a beautiful ]daee where it is almost impossible for one to have the bines. Now I think I have seen almost all of the city of Savannah, and the more I see of it the more T like it. But I will now leave and "o on further down till I strike the Everglades Perhaps I will let von hear from mo a Grain, thoiigh I will promise not. to say much about ca,tchinsr flsh. I lea ve for Jacksonville and Tampa.—H. H. Greer. Mrs. Eli/.a Crookslianks return ed liyme from an extended visit, to friends and relatives at Gnffin on last Saturday. • Mr. Lon Ellis, who for some time has resided in the Sixth dis trict, but now resides three miles west of town, was a welcome call er at The Weekly office on Monday. Mr. W. T. Allen, one of the sub stantia] farmers residing on route 4, was a pleasant caller on the Weekly Thursday. Just received extensive line of white goods, madras and embreid eries. T. A.
