Tle* editor of Tiik Weekly had the pleasure of a short visit to Locust Grove last Friday afternoon, and was surprised at what lie saw. On every hand are to be seen evi dences of tin ift, progress and prosper *ty- Frorn a hamlet of lour or five indif ferent mercantile establishments, a few years ago, in has grown into propor tions ol real city like appearance on the main street, which is composed of handsome stores tilled with stocks of goods that would do credit to any place. Everybo ly was busy, too, not an idler being seen on the streets. Some stirring business men are to be found here, and as a consequence they do a big trade. Locust Grove possesses perhaps the best paying piece of property in Mid dle Georgia—her oil mill and ginnery. Just now it is kept goii g night and day, and a trip to it presented a busy scene, which was simply a revelation. They have in operation five of the best improved gins, with a capacity of thir ty-five or forty bales a day. Still they are unable to keep up with their work. During our visit eight or ten wagons were standing around piled up with cotton waiting for their turn to unload Every convenience for handling is pro vided, and a bale is frequently turned out in fifteen minutes. The oil mill consumes all the seed farmers will dispose of, at good prices, and does a fine business. This e ntire establishment is a.credit to its live foun- j ders, of which they should justly feel proud. We did not have time to visit the Brown mill and ginnery, but it was al so crowded with business. Space forbids a merited write-up of this enterprising town here—it would be a fruitful field for the pen of Black burn or Bennett. In short, were we requested to point out the best and livest little business town in Georgia, unhesitatingly our an swer would he —Locust Grove. Her citizens are liberal, enterpris ing, pushing, clever business people, and deserve credit for what they have done and are doing. Their example is ample evidence of what confidence and pluck will accom plish. llcfresliiiift. Of all the slale “specials” we have yet seen, is the one dated from McDon ough which appeared in yesterday’s Constitution. Under date of October 7, it gave as fresh news an account of the Byrd Jackson escapade, which oc curred eight weeks ago. How our big neigiibor got so wonderfully behind, is the mystery.
