BROWN, Editor. don’t you get up aomething of that kind ?’ We get Mine ouch talk as this nearly every day of oar life, and from men, too,who have not and never will do anything to help ‘boom Albany.’ They seem to think that the local pa per ought to do everything—build a city, boom it and support it on wind.” Death of an Estimable Citizen. The older residents of Campbell and upper Coweta will remember the sub ject of the following notice as Henry Murray, a son of Alexander Murray, who f jrmerly resided near Palmetto.

Murray died at his home and money in trying to gain a little an Beech Island last Thursday, 31st of cheap notoriety abroad, and set gins to entrap the unwary if they are so minded; but Palmetto, with a judg ment and discretion that does infinite credit to her intelligence, has turned her attention to the development of the rich agricultural resources of the ad jacent cquntry, and is moving ahead in adelerminedsortof way thatcannot failcf success ultimately. The farmers of this community are among the most intelligent and enterprising in the •State, and have succeeded already In bringing thei r sect ion in to prominence. A farmers’ club has been organized, which meets in Palmettoonceamontb, to which ail the farmers of the vicinity belong. At these meetings interesting experiences are related, new theoridB discussed and practical suggestions offered—all of which must prove ben eficial to those who participate and take an interest in the proceedings. We can conceive of no movement calculated to do so much good, when undertaken "in the proper spirit. The most serious obstacle to agricultural development in the South is a lack of system and co-operatiou. Every man farms upon an. independent plan, and not more than one out of teu succeeds even under favorable conditions. The farmer should b<* actuated and con trolled by a spirit of mutual interest and helpfulness. If he has tried some new- mode of culture and found it practi cable, let him explain to his neighbor the advantages of the improved system and induce its adoption. If be has experimented with a new crop of auy kind and found it profitable, let him give to others the benefit ot his exper ience, accompanied by such timely and sensible suggestions as will in sure due appreciation of the value and importance of diversified crops. In this way he cau not only subserve the interests of a common enterprise, but aid in furthering the individual suc cess of his immediate co-lab irers to a still more profitable degree. A spirit of enterprisiug rivalry is thus infused into the neighborhood, whose best effects are observed in the increasing care with which the hitherto shiftless far mer prepares his land for planting,in an improved system of cultivation, in the adoption of labor-saving machinery— in fine, in the employment of number less latent forces and devices never be fore called into activity, or even known. We are sLrongly in favor of local or ganizations such as we have described, and can conceive of no plan whereby the farming interest may be more thoroughly unified or effectively ad vanced. By this means the farmers of a community are brought together in intimate association, and for a com mon purpose, viz: the promotion of ' their mutual welfare and prosperity— and upon no other occasion perhaps do they assume so much 1 iberty in counsel ling and advising with each other. We need more of them, and it is a hopeful sign that the farmers of the South are beginning to appreciate the importance of the need. The community that boasts its farmers’club will always be able to show a thrifty, enterprising, intelligent class ot farmers, and a con sequent condition of prosperity not apparent in localities where no such organization exists. The reasons are obvious. Fraternization begets inde pendence, aud where you find the farmers of a community working to gether, thinking together and acting together, there are invariable eviden ces of thrift and prosperity going to prove the truth of this observation. March, at the advanced age of 76 years. Dr. Murray was a most excellent citi zen, a Christian gentleman, and was beloved by all who knew him. Ho one stood'higher in the community than did he, and no one will be missed more by the community. He* leaves one daughter and two sons, one of whom is our present County Treasurer. His remains were interred near Lang ley, where lie others of the same fami ly. A large concourse of relatives and sympathizing friends attended the funeral.” el is increasing in interest and atten tion wiiL each meeting and we hope to have a good school during the sum mer. Miss Eula Stokes is at home from the Convent Sch ol In Atlanta, for a few days’ visit U> her family and friends. Misses Maude and Polly Hughen, of Xewnan, are visiting their sister, Mrs. L. R. Powell, and honored Jones’ Chapel with their presence last Sun day- We are always glad to have them visit our community and hope they will spend the summer. Mr. Tom Arnold, from near Palmet to, visited our school last Sunday. I suppose Tom has an idea of connect ing himself with the school, as he nev er goes to such places merely to see the girls, as some vain young men do. Mrs. Leila Cole spent last week with her father and mother in this commu nity. She returned to her home in Atlanta Monday morning. Miss Claude Vickers visited the family of Mr. Hasten Herring last week, returning to her home in At lanta last Monday morning with Mrs. Cole. Miss Lowodine, Miss Bessie and Mr. Word Redwine have been at home for a few days from school. Miss Lowodine is a Senior in Miss Bal lard’s High School, Atlanta, and will graduate next June. There are eight others in the graduating class. Miss Mattie Patterson has been sick for a few days, but is better, and we hope will soon be well again. Mr. Edward Jenkins, the youngest son of Mr. J. W. Jenkins, is quite sick. The drouth in Texas has already caused great suffering in certain dis tricts, and is daily increasing in ex tent and severity. In some localities there has been no rain to speak of since September. The Atlanta Constitution announces that President Cleveland will visit At lanta during the Piedmont Fair and Exposition in October next, and states that the announcement is made by due authority.^_^___^_____ A disastrous fire occurred in St. Augustine, Fla., last Tuesday night, laying in waste the greater portion of the town and destroying properly val ued at $250,000. to supply the varied demands.

Albert Sidney Camp died March 6tb, 1687, in the 23d year of his age. How sad for one so young to die, with the prospect of a noble, useful manhood;—to leave all the plans of life unfinished;—and then how sad to die away from home and mother, in a stranger’s land! Yet we are glad to know that he was ready to go. The world is better for his having lived in it and his associates are better for his short, noble life. A loving, dutiful son, a devoted brother, a true, faithful frieud,—no wonder that everybody loved him; no wonder so many hearts are sad because God took him from us.. God never meant -him to stay with us long. He only lent him to us to make us better, and that we might behold one of His jewels. Have we not often read: “Whom the gods love die young?” While it is only natural for our hearts to bleed at first, yet we should not grieve for him, for he is “safe in the arms of Jesus,” and we shall know, “when the mists have cleared away,” that it was best for him to go first. He is free from suf fering and sorrow, and so happy. “Pray for ns there: we are laden with care; Dark are our garments with mildew and mould; Thou, a bright angel, art sinless and fair, And will never grow old there, never grow Mr. Matt Crockett is very low with old ‘ .... consumption.

It was our good fortune to listen to a delightful serenade a few nights ago, and we hereby take occasion to ac knowledge our thanks for the same. Come again, boys. Miss Berenice Steed has been the guest of Sirs. Frank Cooke for several days. Alias Jennie Camp, of Newnan, has been visiting Airs. Coehran. Alias Harrington,.of Texas, is stay ing.with Miss Ella Griffith. She is a charming young lady and quite an addition to our little city. Bishop Key, of Alacon, preached at the Alethodist church last Sunday, de livering a most admtrabla discourse. At the close of the service a collection for repairing aud making some addi tions lo the church was taken up and about $1,000 raised. We understand that one of our young men will have some photos tak en soon. Wonder what he will do with them? Ah! Aliss Chester Bell, of Atlanta, was a guest of Airs. Dean several days last week. Miss Jennie Lou Upshaw spent Sat urday aud Sunday in Luthersville with her parents. Air. Will Kirby, of Newnan, came up last week to attend school here un der Prof. Pendergrast. We extend him a cordial welcome and trust that he will receive much benefit.

Mr. Editor:—As you solicit corres pondence from different parts of the county, and as “Uncle A.” has not written from our little village in some time, I decided to give you a few dots this week—not with the intention or hope ol supplying his place, because we enjoyed hiB pieces and would like for him to continue.

April 13th. A. P. S. Turin. Mr. Editor:—So “Old Fogy” thinks I got a little “involved” in my state ment concerning Roger Williams’ connection with the establishment of tlie first Baptist church ia America. Wherein he considers “R. A. T.” “in volved” is in the statement that “Rog er Williams set up no creed; neither was he the founder of a sect." “Old Fogy” did not prove to the contrary. He says “in Chambers’ Encyclopedia I will find that Roger Williams was the founder of the first Baptist church in America.” Well, others have said the same, but that does not make it true. Air. Ford, in his history of the Baptist church, says, .page 254,) “Be fore Roger Williams was baptized or his church organized, there were Bap tist churches and Baptist ministers throughout New England.” He goes on to say: “But historic facts prove be yond doubt that Roger Williams was not the fouuder of the Providence church; aud, further, that the church he established, aud which crumbled to pieces four months after it was gathered together, was net the first church (Baptist) in America. * * * Williams, indeed, touched, the Bap tist standard, but ere he raised it his hand trembled and it fell. It was seized by a steadier hand; at New port it was raised, and far and near they came to it.” Quoting again Mr. Ford spy's: “Eighteen years after the ‘Mayflower’ landed,when every man in the colony wasEnglisb born,and before Roger W illiaihs was baptized, a church of Baptists was founded in America.” The eitation given above does not look much like Roger Williams was the founder of the first Baptist church in America. Airs. Dimsy Brown, an aged lady of Fayette county, is lying very low and not expected to live. Air. George Harwell and Aliss Lou Knott, of Whitesburg, were married a few days since. Airs. Georgia Gay exhibited to the writer some hen’s eggs that measured six inches in circumference. Mrs. Frances North has been quite sick for several days. Capt. Benton and Prof. Moses have started up a saw-mill near the McIn tosh road. R. A. T. April 13th. How sweet it is to imagine we can see him in Heaven, with a crown on his bead, singing: “Holy, holy, holy Lord God Almighty.” “Never here, forever there. Where all parting, pain aud care. And death and time shall disappear— Forever there, but never here.” "And there shall be no night there, neither sorrow, nor crying, nor pain, nor death, and God shall wipe away all tears from our eyes.” His vices. If he bad any, sleep with him, and his virtues are now our sol ace and consolation. “Green be the turf above tboc, Friend of my childhood days; None knew thee but to love thee.

There appeared recently in the obi tuary columns of the Public Ledger of Philadelphia notices of the deaths of twenty-five persons, nine men, six teen women, wh« had lived to or be yond the advanced age of 80 years. Civilization is advancing in Hol brook, Ari. The citizens of that town are not saying anything about their churches or schools, but many of them point with pride to a new saloon which “is elegantly carpeted and magnificently rugged with rich and quaint designs of the Navajo manufac ture.” The other day Prof. James G. Alay, of Salem, Ind., concluded that he bad taught long enough and closed his school. He chose as the day the fifty- eighth anniversary of his marriage. He had been teaching for sixty-five years, having.spent 21,192 days in the school room, aud still, at the age of82, was an energetic and successful teach- he was an all day hearer. The great snow storm of February, 1846, which closed nearly all the churches in the coun'ry, did not keep Air.

One cannot see th r ee feet ahead in a Dakota blizzard, and if he once loses his bearings he is almost certain to drift out upon the prairie and perish before assistance can reach him. With the aid of a rope a man is enabled to grope about his own yard with comparative safely as long as he doesn’t let go.” Bell County, Texas. Mr. Editor:—I send you a copy of a letter received in February last from Dr. W. C.

M. S. Smith. Grantville, Ga., April 7th. .A: The Experience of Many. The Albany News and Advertiser has been trying for several months to generate a boom in that city, but if we'may judge from the following de spairing remarks in a recent issue of the paper it has received but little en couragement r “Sometimes it makes us’ sick, some-" times it makes us mad,and then again it makes us sorry, when a town loafer .

Mr. Editor:—Spring has come at last and the warm rays of. the son seem to have infused new life into all mankind as well as vegetation. Cot ton-planting is the order of the day in this community. I don’t remember to have seen our farmers so well up with their work at this season before in ten years. They are nslng guano extensively and planting large cotton crops that they may be able to pay for the guano next fall—all of which I think is bad policy. The last cold spell killed all the peaches and cherries; but those who have apple orchards will not be en tirely destitute of fruit. I would sug gest that all our farmers plant large watermelon patches aud invite the “For the information of many friends I will say this is the best farming country I ever saw. The lands are as rich as the best bottom lands in your conntry, 'hough in some localities it is malarious, aud the water is - not good in summer. All the water is limestone, and warm. Springs, wells and all are alike. Nearly everybody that comes from the old States are dis satisfied fora year or so; but after that they are well pleased. The weathor is much more changeable than in your country. To-day it is warm enough to go in your shirt-sleeves; two or three days ago there was ice four inch es thick; to-morrow morning may be freezing again. The wind blows brisk ly all the time from some direction, winter aud summer. The nights nev er get sultry in summer, but are al ways pleasant. The sun shines much hotter here than in Georgia; hence, the sun’s rays are more Intense, but it is pleasant in the shade. The people never use umbrellas or parasols; they can’t carry them for the wind. This accounts, also, for the men wearing broad-brimmed hats. They tie them on and are thus protected from the sun. “Just in this belt, (which is called the black belt,) and away from water courses, it is healthy; but on all water courses it is sickly. The water dries up in many places and leaves boles filled with stagnant water, that pro duces malaria. The Brazos river Itot- toms, about 30 miles distant from this place, are the finest and most produc tive lauds in the world, bnt the local ity is extremely unhealthy. East of the Brazos, the bottoms are not so good. It is generally timbered and sickly. Bell county is in Middle Tex as, which embraces all that territory That German who has invented a simple method of deadening the sound of the piano deserves a monument of solid gold. The contrivance consists merely of the application of fine flan nel to the frame between the strings and hammers of an up-right piano. The sound can be graduated at will without injuring the quality of the tone. The equestrian statue of Andrew Jacksou in Lafayette square, Wash ington, is sometimes pointed out to strangers as a representation of Gen. Lafayette.

They cover nearly 300,000,000 acres of improved land, and th ir total value is some thing like $10,000,000,000. These fig ures are not, of course, cotnpiehensi- ble. They simply convey the idea of vastness of area and equal vastness of importance. The estimated value of the yearly product of these farms is between $2,000,000,000 and $3,000,000,- 000. It is worth knowing that an anti dote for poison oak, ivy, etc., is to take a handful of quick lime, dis solve it in water, let it stand for an hour, then paint the poisoned part with it. Three or four applications will never fail to cure the most ag gravated cases. Poison from bees, hornets, spider bites, etc., is instantly arrested by the application of equal parts of common salt and bicarbonate of seda, well rubbed in on the places bitten or stung. Vermillion Station, Minn., was grievously pained at the passage of the high license law, which compelled the four saloon keepers of that town to pay $500 license into the town treasury. Finally a solution to the vexed ques tion was found. The four saloon keepers were sworn in as-special po licemen of Vermillion, and their sal aries fixed at $400 a year each. In this way the village of Vermillion li censes its saloon keepers at $100 a year each to sell liqnor. The German papers allege that many German industriesare seriously affect ed by over-productiou.

This wheat is almost wholly raised on large ranches by contract. The wheat grower is no more a farmer than he is a miner or a miller. He lets out his plowing and seeding by the acre and borrows money from the banks to pay the bill, giving security on the growing crop. In har vest time a contractor comes on the ground with his harvesters, threshers and separators, an outfit costing as much as $5,000. He briDgs his own crew of twenty to twenty-five, men, who move about from place to place, living like gypsies in the open air. They gather in broad fields of grain at the rate of more than 1,000 bnshels per day, and leave the crop neatly piled up in sacks, to which the ran cher has not piit bis hand from first to last. We are told of a strange clock that is said to have belonged to a Hindoo prince. A large gong was hung on poles near the dial, and all about on the ground lay a pile of artificial humau heads, ribs, legs and arms. The whole number of bones in the pile was equal to the number of bones in twelve perfect bodies, but they ap peared to have been thrown together in the greatest confusion. When the bands of the clock indicated the hour of 1, out from the pile crawled first the number of parts ueeded to form the frame of one man, part coming to part with a quick click,and .when com pleted, the figure sprang up, seized a mallet, and, walking tip to the gong, struck one blow. This done, he re turned to the pile and fell to pieces again. When 2 o’clock came two arose aDd did likewise: and at the hours of nooD aud midnight the entire heap sprang up, aud, march ing to the goDg, struck one after an other bis blow, makiDg twelve in all, then returning, fell to pieces as before.
