Atlanta, March 0.—Rev. Dr. Left- wioh, the well-known Presbyterian divine, of Baltimore, is coining to At lanta to take charge of a church here. He is well known in Georgia. Wllili Til BV CAUSE DAMAOEf muon The Frecaca of I.nut Night and the Night Before. According to the custom for the past few years, Maroh had scarcely made its advent, when two hard freeze, broke upon us, with no warning notice, and as a result some considerable damage lias fallen to the crops, fruit having suffered rather the more seriously than agricultural products. Now people are busy wondering whether or not the damage will be great enough to seriously injure the peach and pear crops, and housekeep ers are fearful that the fruit for their summer preservings will have to be bought from the grocers, or ordered from some part of the country where Jack Frost haB not had an opportunity to get in his work of destruction. The result of the freeze will ho to out the crop down some. There can be no doubt that mnny of the full blown peach and pear blossoms were killed, still, many have escaped, and many will yet come out, and what fruit we do have, will be of a largo size, and of a very superior flavor. The later varieties of peaches have, of oourse, not been injured in the least, and an examination of the fruit trees will serve to convince a person that the crop will be a fair one, at least. BUDGET FBO.tl CAMILLA. Death .1 Col. C. O. Unria-TUe Condi tion of tho Farmer.. Special Correspondence of the Herald. Camilla, Ga., March 2,1893. —Camilla is in mourning. Coi. C. O. Davis, one of the pioneer residents, and the veteran of the Camilla bar, died on Saturday. He had been in very bad health for a long time, and a week or two ago, his mind almost entirely gave way. He was a native of Burke county; His education was limited, but he was a born lawyer. For many years he commanded a fine practice, especially in orlminal cases. He had a line head and a warm heart. Hi, speeches were full of good sense and his wit often put the Court in a roar. Many years ago he represented the county in the General Assembly. —Rev. Dr. C. M. Irwin, who died in Atlanta lsst week, had for many years made Camilla a sort of winter home, and for one year was pastor of our Baptist churoh. Every house and heart in Camilla was always open to him. In his last years he did wonder- ul good in South Georgia. —Camilla’s business is solid and im proving. Farmers are getting ready to plant corn, melons and ootton. For tunately most of our farmers raise a plenty of hops, many families have full supplies of home raised rice, corn^' potatoes, milk, butter; and syrup is plentiful. Wbat a country we have! —An effort is being made to bring back the bar-rooms, but our people have frequently said “no,” and they will say it again. U. ALBANY, GA., SATURDAY, MARCH 11. 1893.

From Monday's Evening Ilcrnld. Jeff Foster, for eleven years the faithful blacksmith at the shops Mr. B. F. Manning, on Jaokson street, died at 6 o’clook yesterday morning, after a lingering illness. Jeff was a Negro of the old slavery time type, and was well liked by all who knew him. But no one thought so muoh of him, perhaps, as his em ployer, whose confidence and friend ship he won by his own faithfulness. During his long illness, dating baok to last Christmas, Mr. Manning was his devoted friend, and ministered to his every want. Although Jeff was a member of what is known as the Palmyra Benevolent Society, an organization of Negroes which takes care of its members when sick and burys them when they die, Mr. Manning insisted upon furnish ing the colIln and bearing the expen ses of his faithful old employe’s fun eral. Tlie Society attended the funeral in full regalia this morning, and the funeral procession was one of the largest that has ever followed the bier of any Negro in this city. The fu neral took piaoe at 11 o'clock, from Friendship church, of whioh deceased was a member. As a mark of respect to the deceased Mr. Manning’s shops were closed, and all work suspended until 2 o’clook this afternoon. ■Irak Feed. perlor Clour! 1N1K1. 1, ■ — GRAND JUIY, D. W.

This For Inexpensive block Raisins' In numbers of instances has the fact been clearly demonstrated that stock-; Jarining can bo made a most profitable indust’y in Southwest Georgia, and it I is a fadt ,worthy the pride of the whole State thut the industry is surely, If slowly, taking hold, and promises, ere long, to be one of the leading features pn every farm, large and small, in the oountry. Arthur Johnson, one of the well known Negroes of this oounty, has a hog on his little farm, a part of the Duncan piaoe, seven mlleB south of Albany, that is only two years and three months old and tips the soaies to BOO pounds. Arthur bus been at no expense what ever to raiso ■ the “pig,” but It has grown and thrived on such plokings up as it could get. There Is plenty of food to be found around the place, and a hustling farmer, with a orib full of corn, ought to get rioh fast, if he grew plenty or hogs, suoh as Arthur’s single monster.

Raving Bran Taught n Serious Lesson. “Tho brightest minds hev been known to git astray onct in uwhllo,” began Uncle Nahum Leavitt, “and the faot that I slopped over onct is jest as much a sign of genius ns 'tls of a fool. Fur's I know, it seems so.” His neighbor, who sat with him in the great barndoor, nodded his head very vigorously, as muoh as to a— tlmt Undo Nahum’s sage remark Was *1 too weighty for iirnno- diuto discussmu. “Tho time I clipped up tho elm trees front the house was an awful npsetter to me.” “How's that?” said tho nolghbor, whose conversational powore lay mostly in tho lino of interrogation. “Well, I don't mind rolatin an experi ence that was a putty good lesson tor me, an that did more toward redticln my self esteem than 'most anything I ever tackled.” He rose cautiously and peered round the corner of the barn to assure hhnsolf they wore not overheard; thon, satisfied that no one was near, he moved the small keg which served as a seat noaror to his listener and began: “Woll, ono niornln I says ter Mary: ‘Them elm treos front tho house oughtor be trimmed np.

In the forenoon of Jan. 81, 1633, the old building at Park row and Beekman street canght fire. The O-Btory building had only ono stairway and was filled with people. The building being old and dry, the flams spread rapidly, and many people found a terriblo death. Just as it seemed that no human being could esoape death three men were seen in an upper window. The firemen quickly brought ladders, hut the longest reached only half the distance. In the orowd a colored bootblack, Charles Wright, saw that fastened to the roof of the building, just above the window where the men were, was a telegraph wire, and that this wire ran across the street to the top of a telegraph pole in City Hall park. He saw that If the wire was cut in the park it would fall right acroes the win dow, so that tho men could dcocond by It. In. an instant he seized a fireman's wrench that lay near by, ran across the street and began to climb the tall, smooth telegraph pole. It was not easy in the wind and snow, hut hy hard climbing Wright soon reached the crossbar!. Quickly he twisted the wire rope off. Down it fell, right across the Window! The crowd shouted for joy os one after another the three men came down in safety. For a moment only the boy was forgotten. It woe not long before every one had heard of Charles Wright, the boy who saved three lives.—Cor. Now York Press. “Mind your eye, Primus.” Buy pure and fresh seeds. 27dwtf. Hilsman & Aoar Co.
