Haweinbyille, Feb. 11.—[Special]—
Tiiia is a big time in Hawkinaville. The
whole town is on a holiday. The doors
have been flung witlo open and citizens
Tie with each other to entertain guest*.
The committee on hospitality, composed ^ ^ ^
of II W. Anderson, chairman, | accuiui-.r^TdHX
3L D. Brown, J. H. Mc
Duffie, Dr. Fleetwood, Manuel Som
mers, J. Jacobus, F. II. Bozeman, E.
J. Henry and & N. Laascter, have been
equal to the emergency. They have
fcnet the delegations at the tTaina and as
signed homes without any friction.
Dast night about midnight 150 delegate*
came in. Yet in a few moments the
delegations from tho respective counties
Were given homes.
The convention was called to order by
Col Korthen, president, and opened
%vith prayer by Kov. J. F. Eden.
WELCOXINO THE CONVENTION'.
The address of welcome was then de
livered by Col G. W. Jordan, mayor of
the city. IIo possesses a bland, open
countenance, and he looked what ho
add when bo declared tho whole city
p.nd the keys thereof were tho convcn
t ion's.
Next came Col Mark Ilodgo, who wel
comed the convention on behalf of tho
farmers of Pulaski. Col. Hodge was
happy in his remarks; his tribute to tho
former— iim «jiu of toil- was beautiful
indeed, and t ie audience, composed of
some GOD delegates mid many visitors,
enjoyed his speech. Col. llodge said tho
city was given up to tho delegutes. Tho
marshal shall not arrest them, tho sheriff
shall not touch them and tho blind
tigers shall not bite them—they wero
free from arrest like members of con
gress ami the Georgia legislature. Thin
m a prohibition county, but tho arte dan
well was over-flow ing.
WATERMAN OYERTLOWd WITH OOOD
ADVICE.
-On behalf of tho farmers of Pulaski
Col J. T. Waterman also tuldrossod tho
convention. 11s extended a broad wel
come. Ho was selected m . speaker, ha
said, because ho knew nothing of farm
ing. but had put iu tweuty yours of solid
good advice to farmers, ana it was his
••intentions" that had put him forward
as a man to address farmers. 116 com
plimented the farmers o:i tho grand tight
they had made since the war against
hundreds of disadvantages, and in draw
ing bi*t picture of the farmers’ toil ami
backsets Col. Waterman was clot picul,
and thrilled his audience. Hl» anneal
to the farmers to elevate their calling, to
place themselves on a basis of financial
independence was strong. Hu was chair
man of the commit'.#.• that had taken oil
from the doors all tho locks and had
buried them in tho Oeinulgeo,
THE ELOQUENT HARDEMAN.
In response to tl»e hearty welcome,
•mid great a) p ause Col Tom Hardeman
ascended the rostrum and in behalf of
the convention offered tho thanks and
gratitudo of the convention fur tho.un
stinted hospitality; Col liar lemon, you
know, never fails. U was the old msn
eloquent of-old. Why should not Geor
gians welcome Georgians and assemble
to take counsel together to meet the op
pressive trust,! combined against them?
It is * holywtruKEie against combined

Hawkinaville, Feb. 13.—[SpecULl—
The delegates are delighted with their
entertainment here, and loudly praise
Hitvvkinsvillo and her whole-souled peo
ple.
The convention met last night to listen
to Dr. L. B. CUIton on “insect Life—
Our Insect Friends and Insect Enemies.”
The large audience room was packed.
The Indies of the city graced tbe occasion
with their presence,
Tho doctor’s effort was on a practical
line to teach those in the every-daj walks
of life how to study inject life. If one
insect Is placed under a tumbler and his
life watched, a more marvelous drama
will be seen played than ever appeared
upon the stage before men and women.
ENEMIES or PLANT LIFE,
From an interesting chat concerning
how to observe insect life, the doc
tor grew practical and told his audieuco
of the enemies to plant life. There are
JOOepecie* of tho cut worm that des
troy plants. Farmers are on the hunt
lor an enemy to these destroyer*. Dr.
Clifton does not place much faith in
the various Northern poison sprinklers
and insecticide fluids. But he bxuka on
the toad frog—tho ugly toad—tho toad
upon which Sitoke»i*ur« heaps so much
contumely in his literature.
Tho toad is more cleanly than the
poodle which some ladies cares# and
take in their laps. Ho is the abiding
frumd of tlio farmer, and the horticul
turist. Ho feeds ui>oti cut-nor ms and
regards the curcullo that infests tho or
chards as a grout dainty.
“toad houses" becommenep.
The doctor recommended the build
ing of “toad houses" in every garden
and orchard. Four brick are enough.
In winter dig a hole in rear of the house
and cover him up. Ia spring ho will
tesurrect himself.
Tho toed ha# u long tongue and is a
fine shot and scarcelycvcr misses his
aim or hia game. Here the doctor con
vulsed his audience by a happy descrip
tion of one of hia toads undergoing
metamorphosis, how ho shuffled off h!
old coil and put on his new coat and
swallowed his old clothes. The doctor
regards the toad in his new suit of green
as quite a dude.
Dr. Clifton plead for tbe life of rob-
s. They ate cut worms and pro
tected field and garden.
Another great enemy to plants is tho
aphis-plant iouie, so small as to only be
seenby microscope. He slicks hia bill in
tbe veins of plants and sucks tire life out.
Tbc enemies to these are certain ffu*
which should be protected.
The lady bugs are enemies to these
aphides and ants are fond of them.
CATERPILLAR AND COTTON.
The greatest enemies to the cotton plant
are caterpillar*—alecirr. Dr. Clifton re
gards the red ant os our best weapon of

Every farmer in tho county
should store up facta and principles and
mark tho relation of cau^e and effect,
and it should not require years
of demonstrative effort to sat
isfy him what pays best. No
cla*8 of men have to much time for
reading. The physician and merchant
have no rc»t from the demands on their
time, but when night comes and draws
her rable curtains or iho home of the
farmer, he is freed from physical toil
and can prosecute literary investigations
touching liia avocation. Formers have
an idea they have no lime to read. The t
self-assertion of tho farmer in organized
effort the speaker regarded os a good
omen for tho future. All hail to tbe alli
ance!
INVESTMENTS OF FARMERS.
Dr. Stevens was followed in an ex
temporaneous speech by Col. iiunnleutt
of Turin. He developed the point that
farmers invested their earnings, not In
improvements on the farm, but in invest
ments outside, and thus injured farming
as a calling.

HORTICULTURE IN OEOROIA.
Tho president introduced Dr. J. F.
Wilson of Ptulan, Worth county; sub
ject, “Hotno Reasons Why Georgia is a
Great Horticultural State."Theessential*
to horticulture are suitable soil, .suitable
climate, quality of product, tronsp* r*
tation markets Dr. Wilson thinks
Georgia is well adapted to horticulture.
It is tte.'r from insect depredations, and
tho working season more favorable,
Georgia Is behind East and West in trans
portation. Land and labor here are
i hoaper, nnd variety of products greater.
Our ripening season ia earlier and.wo get
tho first fruits on market and best prices,
and this state is so desirable as place of
rctidonce and nearer tbe center of popu
lation.
The doctor showed that Georgia had
more points favorable to horticulture
than auy state in the union. Grape cul
ture has been a grrat success by the doc
tor in Worth county.
There was one gallon of juice to every
twelve pounds of grapes. Hold grapes

were initiated into the mysteries of mak
ing cheese and the beat mode of making

rectly, it takes t* n pounds of milk to
make a pound of cheese, and twenty-
seven pounds of milk to make one of
butter. Their factories were not OR thi
as 1 expected to find, nor their cheese as
good sa it should have been, on account
of robbing the milk of half of its cream
before converting it into that product.
Tho butler was excellent. The cowa

IN THE FRCrr REGION OF OHIO.
Bandusky is the center of the fruit
and ILli industries, bnt especially the
former. As 60on as we arrived there we
wero carried to a ‘meeting of the Wine
Growers Association, and heard a dltcus-
t ion between the gmpo producers and
the wine manufacturers, and itappoured
from tho controversy that there was
considerable animosity between them on
account of tho wine makers adulterating
and making spurious wines, thereby re
ducing the price of granes and injuring
the grape grower*. “We were enter
tained at a dinner given by the grape
farmers after tue adjournment of the
meeting, and the wine used at the din
ner was adulterated, which proved that
the Ohio grape raiser has hl« troubles as
well as tho Georgia cotton grower.
I was entertained after leaving Cedar
Point by 51r. Kiely. the president of tho
Wine Growers' Association, and woa in*

The doctor think* there Ua spec las of
ants which will nol be able to secure
any favors from tbe Harrison adminis
tration. These are tbe elave-liolding
ante. Strange to say those ante in bond
age are rather black in color. And this
specie* of slave-holding ant are again pe»
peculiar in that the race instinct is very
strong. They do noc eal together and
when the black ant tile* lie i* abeoutely
buried in a different graveyard.
Tbe spider wnicb weaves hia rotary

But we can follow tbe doctor no

Tlie convention met at 0:30 o'clock,
President Nortben in the chair. The
■e>«ion was opened with prayer by Rev.
CL K. Henderson of Cedartown.
Col. Nortben vacated tlie chair to at
tend session of executive committee, and
Vice-President Woolly presided over tbe

Little was done during the afternoon
session. Tho convention will convene on
Wednesday in future.
Tbe dollar fee for membership was dis
pensed with. Dr. Hapo says the rail
roads out West do not compliment farm
ers with tickets to their agricultural con
ventions. The convention meets next at
LaUrange. The committee to attend the
World's Fair is as follows: J. a Wil

The society then reeolred itself into an
experience meeting. Many delegates
leave to-night.

CoL It T. Nesbitt of Cobb county and
CoL Hendcreon are both present looking
aftor their candidacy for commissioner
of agriculture. Col. Nesbitt, a practical
farmer, thinks fourteen years is enough
and that CoL Henderson ought to give
way. CoL lleudrrkon knows a good

may say that this city is located iu the
beat agricultural section of Ohio— and
wo were here initiated into tho agricul
tural system of her people, as we were
carried to their farm houses and most
agreeably entertained, also we had an
opportunity of observing their domestic
economy. In planting small grain they
break up their laud with two hor*o
plows, then apply their manure on the
surface and eow the grain, then harrow
the seed and manure in together. Their
culture of corn is the same as in our stiff
swamp lands.
NO WORN OUT LANDS.
The Ohio farmers instead of westing
their lands out by cultivating the soil
improve them, as they do not practice
clean culture, but rotate their crops,
scarcely ever planting tbe some land in
tbe same gram. Wheat follows corn,
and cloYer.or tbe grasses follow wheat,
thereby shading tne land to a great ex
tent by the gram and the grasses.

the cooking, the proprietor fed the stock

There was no lazy negro woman In tbe

absence of tlie nigger on her form*and in
