Tun widow of cx-President Polk comploted her 80tb year on the 4th in?t., aud was pleasantly surprised on that day by a visit from many of the pronunet citizons of NasLville, Ti mi., where she lives, who brought some Guo iloral tokens of tho oveut. Tue following gentlemon have been appointed by Governor McDaniel as commissioners to superintend the building of tbo now capitol : Gen’, E P. Alexander, of Augusta ; B. C. Cruno, of Atlanta ; A. L. Miller, of Perry ; John Scroven, of Savannah ; and W. W. Thomas, of Athens. Nona of the appointees were applicants for tho position. Considehabj.e excitement lms been created in Hie State by a report that Jay Gculd had bought tho Louis ville & Nashville Railroad and ol) tainod a cohtrollisg interest in the Georgia Central. It is not likely that tho Central has passed into his control us the stock is owned by so many different persons that it is not ensy to gobble it up without creating unusual excitement which has not been done and tho offiuors of the road deny the report. IiCtt of From Perry. Fanny, Ga., Sept. 10:li; 1883. Mn. Editok —Allow mo to congrat¬ ulate you on your accession to your now Kingdom. Yon are indeed scat cd ou a throne of power. In this fl'oo country tho proaa wield* an appreciated influence. To it all turn. Public opinion is formed, and directed by it ; errors corrected ; wrongs exposod ; tho strong arc re sGuinod, and tho weak protected. May jour reign bo Jong and prosper¬ ous. You hnvo a noblu const it ucn cy. They will sustain you in all your efforts to elovato and improve tK limiplo. l’ut j’otir papor into every family in Stewart county and wi ll hearty cooperation botwcou you,there is a bright future ahead. I am sorry to report tho people of this fine old county of Houston very much discouraged. Two little words tell the whole story. Drouth and worms. A farmer said to mo to-day that all crops woro off this year. In this county corn is the best crop made and that is only medium. Cotton is put down at not more than half. I find n strong fooling hero to di¬ versify agriculture morn than over. Very large small grain crops will bo put in this fall. Watermelons and truck are rAcieving increasing atten¬ tion ; and n groat many farmers aro preparing to raise their own colts, both horses aud mules. It seems to me the problem of Georgia’s prosperity would be oasily solvod if our people would raiso their own stock, and bacon and fertilizers. The drum on ns for tlioso imported articles has kept us poor, and w ill so continue till the crack of doom. I bail tho prospect of a change with patriotic prido. This county has had a yoar’s expo ricnco with the stock law. As far as I coii learn it has given satisfaction. One thing I hear which is surprising; that l uitar is cheaper and of a but¬ ter grade tLan over known iu Perry, I notico this people aro slow to change from their old habits, but when onco thoy break away from faucet they never go back to them. ^uv conferee of tbs Home Journal . popu m at ieie am j,rospiiing. o raaks* a good paper and tho people appreciate rf, and sustain lmn with thsir patronage.
