Newnan, Ga., Friday, June 6, 1890.
FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
•(BOta.
Some of tbe lady members of the
Baptist church went to work recently
to get up a new organ for the church,
and like most other enterprises they
undertake, have made a decided sue-
cess. The organ is here and in position,
and a splendid one it is—at least, it is
so pronounced by oompetent judges of
music.
This section of country is being can
vassed by some gentlemen represent ing
a Pennsylvania nursery. We have for
some time been fully satisfied that one
of the great needs of this section was
more study of, and attention to, fruit
culture, and while the canvassing and
sale of fruit trees is ]>erfoctly legiti
mate, yet candor compels us to say, for
the interest of all who desire to purchase
trees, that trees of foreign or unaccli
mated growth do not succeed well here.
This is the experience of our nursery
men and fruit-growers in this State,
and their knowledge (which no doubt
has been expensively obtained,) ought
to be worth a good deal to those desir
ing to invest their money in these very
important undertakings.
Wo here take occasion to my that
Mr. P. J. Pcrckmann, proprietor of the
Frultland Nurseries near Auguste, Ua.,
has been engaged in the business
over thirty years; has fully tested every
variety of new fruits introduced, and
discards all not possessing meritorious
qualities. 11 is tests Include all the ear
ly varieties of peaches, and he has dis
carded most of them. The first on his
list of peaches of little worth le the
“Alpha.” This tree will be offered for
sale here, and we deem it proper to make
these statements that the people may
judge for themselves. Mr. Berckraans
never employs, and wo do not patron
ize, tree peddlers. All our Georgia nur
series soil at low, reasonable prices.
We are now huving beautiful sunny
weather. The corn and cotton crpps
are growing finely, and the farmers arc
putting in full time.
Not much change to note in the con
dition of Mrs. R. II. Woods, who lias
been qulto sick for somo time. Wo do
hope for an improvement in her condi
tion soon.

impression upon those who had the
pleasure of hearing him. Our people
were also delighted with the recitations
of little Misses Dollie Keith and Mel-
son, of Newnan, and Master Clyde Car-
mieal. The music was rich and soul-
stirring—just such as may always be
expected when Mrs. Rosa Lester pre
sides at the organ. The occasion was a
most interesting and enjoyable one
and will be pleasantly remembered by
our people. Prof. Ford was accompani
ed by his wife and baby. Mrs. M. G.

Bro. Goodwyn’s chances for the legis

Miss Lula House is quite sick.
The physicians whom Mr. Franklin
Sewell went to Atlanta to consult sev
eral days since decided to remove the
tumor on his jaw by a surgical opera
tion, which was skillfully and success
fully performed. The tumor had
attached itself to the jaw-bone, and was
so hard at the root that a chisel had to
be used in cutting it loose from the bone.
He is doing very well at this writing,
though he will remain in Atlanta for
several days yet.
Cotton, for several days InRt, Week,
looked as if it had "swunk up," but the
warm sunshine this week is bringing it
out of tho kinks. Crops generally are
clean and in good condition. I never
saw the people work harder in my life.
Both white and colored seem deter
mined to make something this year,
and if cotton stays at ten cents many a
poor fellow will got out of ^Jebt next
fall.
The berry crops are very fine. The
blackberry crop never fails. In Texas
the blackberry is cultivated and highly
appreciated. In Georgia it is heartily
despised.
I will say to Bro. Malcolm McKoy
that a fellow is not apt to get lonesome
plowing a steer, even, when legislative
honors are hovering over him. Bro.
McK. would be surprised to see what
nice work "Buck” and myself are doing,
and would want to get a steer right off.
Sometimes "Buck" gets so hot that I
have to fan him with my hat to keep
him from fainting; but he never fails to
come to time when called. "Buck" is
a great steer, and a blessing to the com
munity.
The cholera is playing havoc with
chickens in this community, and I note
the fact with genuine sorrow. Day
after day they are dropping off, and
the prospect of fried chicken is growing
beautifully less with the rising and set
ting of the sun.

is no longer any doubt that Livingstou

I see a great deal being said just now
about Hon. J. B. Hunnicutt’s farming.
I know that some of the land on which
he now makes sixty bushels of corn per
acre, a bale and a half of cotton, "and
other things accordin’," was once so
poor that it would have to rain nil day
and thunder all night to make two bar
rels of corn or 000 lbs. of seed cotton to
tho acre. In fact, the land looked as if
it hnd been worn out in the process of
making. RtrPT.ES.

’Squire S. G. Allen has the sympa
thies of the entire community in the
loss of his estimable wife. Many of us
bad not heard of her illness until we
saw the notice of her death in Tu
Herald and Advertiser.
I wish to make a request of my
friends, and that is that they furnish
mo such items of news as may be in
their possession. Many of you expect
me to give the news through The Her
ai.danu Advertiser, but I can’t doso
unless you assist me. I have been close
ly contined to my farm this year, like
tho balance of my neighbors, and have
had little op;>ortunity to collect news.
1 don’t want to be behind other corres
pondents in reporting the news. It is
no light task to prepare weekly letters
for the papers. It takes time and brain-
work, too.
Wouldn’t it be nice if The Herald
and Advertiser would give its cor
respondent?

and Walter Bingham attended the
policemen’s picnic at Pearl Spring Park

Fourth District.
Thore is considerable sicknoss in the
Fourth district, particularly near Me
Intosh’s Reserve. V. A. Houston has
several children sick. Ills eldest daugh
ter, Miss Annie, is quite sick. The wife
of Beverly Woou and his three daugh
ters are sick. Mrs. Claude Beavers,
formerly Miss Nora Wood, is also on
the sick list. The sickness above re
ferred to is mostly bilious fever. Old
Mrs. Beavers is lying very low at the
residence of her sori-in-law, Elias Sum
mers. Slio is quite an old lady—80 odd
years old.
Rev. James R. Turner died on last
Sunday at tho residence of Mr. William
Hendricks, near Whitesburg. He was
buried yesterday in Whitesburg with
Masonic honors. Mr. Turner was one
of the oldest Methodist preachers in
Georgia, having been engaged in tho
ministry considerably more than half
a century. He was a member of the
Georgia Conference a number of years.
He hnd been a useful man in his
life and one who was very much re
8pected. Ho was kindly taken care of
for several years before his death by
Mr. Hendricks and his wife, who was a
stop-dnughter of Mr. Turner, his near
relatives having “crossed the’river” be
fore him. He was in the 90tb year of
his age nt the time of his death. Ilis
last sickness and death was caused by a
fall that he got a few weeks ago, in
whiqh his hip joint wus broken.
The revenue officers were out in the
Fourth a few nights ago. They found
a place of stilling out in the "flat rocks"
and poured out a large quantity of beor.
But the still, and the whiskey and tho
men had left.
A young negro man named William
Harden died yesterday on the place of
Mr. John Morris, in the Fourth district
He died from bowel disease.
1 see it stated that Col. Livingston
will probably be a candidate for Gov
ernor. If he should allow his name to
be used he will act very wrong, since
such a decided preference has been
shown for Col. Northen, not only
amongst farmers but the people of the
State generally. His candidacy would,
uuder the circumstances, tend to create
great confusion iu tbo Democratic

scholars acted and spoke well, while
Messrs. Smith and Wilkes furnished ex
cellent music on the violin and guitar.
On last Saturday Mr. C. J. Parrott
and Mr. Bob Lewis became involved in
a difficulty, when Mr. Lewis shot at Mr.
Parrott Are times with a pistol and
Mrs. Lewis shot at him once with a
shot-gun. Strange to say, none of the
shots took effect, though some of them
came very close. Mr. Lewis, seeing
that he had not hurt Mr. Parrott, with
an oath said he knew how he could kill
him, and taking his axe rushed at him,
making a blow a his head. Mr. Par
rott managed to catch tbe axe as it de
scended and in some way threw Mr.
Lewis to the ground and struck him a
powerful blow with a rock, fracturing
his skull. He also struck Mr. Lewis’
son unintentionally with a rock, and at
last accounts both Mr. Lewis and his
son were considered in a critical condi
tion.
Mrs. E. T. Kirby, who has been quite
sick for the past week, is much better.
