City and] ‘oiiiitry.
Just now the cities and towns
throughout Georgia, and other
states, are placing great emphasis
upon the necessity of encouraging
the establishment of manufactu
ring industries, in order that in
creased prosperity of the munici
palities may be induced. The as
sertion bears the stamp of truth,
and the desired Condition will car
ry prosperity to^the. homes of the
farmers, as well as to the citizens
of the prospering cities, towns and
villages.
Whenever the population of a
town or city is increased, and the
increase consists of money making
citizens, the farmers around about
are afforded a better home market
for their produce, and thus encour
aged -to produce more, and to im
prove the quality of their products.
It"is a well known fact that there
ire many products of the soil that
cannot be profitably sold except in
a’home market, and when the ^ca
pacity of the home market is in
creased, the money-making ability
.f the neighboring farmers is in
creased. Therefore the benefit to
be derived from manufacturing in
lerests spreads to the country, and
is felt for miles around.
But there can be an increase of
population in the cities that will
not prove beneficial to any. When
persons seeking light work forsake
the farms and crowd the cities, no
good is done to themselves; the
farmers are bereft, to a certain ex
tent, of good workers; the crowded
avenues of businessjmust resist the
pressure, and wages of many al
ready in service are reduced.
Often, also, bad companionship
serves to corrupt young men who
theretofore had borne irreproach
able characters. Many good farm
ers have been spoiled to make poor
clerks. We entertain bright nopes
for the future of Georgia, both
towns and country, and believe we
will see them realized.
Fruit Around Powersviile.
The next Georgia State fair will
open at Central C-ityPark, Macon,
on the 24th of October, and con
tinue one week. Cash premiums
to the amount of $12,000 have been
offered by the society, and a- large
number of lideral special premi
ums have been added to the list.
The premium list is in 'course of
publication, and will soon be is-1
sued to the people.
Mr. Editor: I have been wait
ing for some time to hear some
fruit-grower speak out and. say
what amount of the fruit had been
killed by the late freeze. I can
only speak for this part of the
county. A great many of the eaily
varieties stood the test. Among
them I will mention a few: Early
Bivers, Hale’s Early, and Early
Alexander will average a full crop;
Elberta and Chinese Cling, one-
third of a crop, while most of the
old seedlings were all killed.
Strawberries, where freshly work
ed, were badly injured. I think I
lost about 1,000 quarts of the ear
liest berries on ten acres. Wild
goose plums all right—trees full
of fruit, but seem to start off very
slow. I am yet uneasy about
them, fearing the cold will cause
them to shed their fruit in April.
My apple crop bids fair to be
good one. My grapes are taking
on a full crop. I will say the peach
crop will be far below an average
one.
Mr. Editor, I was shown a seed
ling plum tree yesterday by Mr.
\W. E. Warren that originated
from the seed of a very large plum
bought in New York, three
years ago. I think it is destined
to make its mark in the fruit line.
Its leaves are about 2^ inehes long
and 14 inches wide. I believe Mr.
Warren refused five dollars for
the tree to-day. ~ I expect to
watch it with a hawk’s eye. Mr.
Warren stands between this tree
and the mula when they are
ploughing abouHt.
Hoping to hear soon from our
authority on fruit, Mr. Samuel H.
Bumph, I close.

It might have been said in the
initial letter of this series that the
writer proposes to conduct an
easy-going, informal correspond

Speaking of men who work and
men who wish, brings to mind.the
remarkable industry of men who
are engaged in the various nefa
rious pursuits—men who are sup
posed not to work. The gambler,
for instance, subjects himself to
severe discipline, whereby his con
science and impulses ate subju
gated. He masters himself, his
games -uid his>.i.r cks. He learns,
too, by persevering study, to take
the gauge of other men whom lie
would victim ze. He becomes,
not a mind reader, such as Bishop
claims to be, nor a muscle reader,
like that other fellow, “but he gets
there all the same.” He is as
shrewd as a diplomat, and about
as unscrupulous. -
A little reflection will satisfy the
reader that every specialist among
the thieves of the world is a work
er, His enterprise, energy, perse
verance and tact, would achieve
success in any legitimate business.
Even the beggars of the cities are
industrious, resourceful and irre
pressible. Theyjiever let up on a

them a kindness. /You have heard

AValuable invention.
Mr. J. J. Murph, of Marshall-
ville, was in Perry last Tuesday
exhibiting a patented combination
whereby old gin ribs can be re
paired, and fire in a gin prevent
ed. The repair attachment is sim
ple and effective, and can be put
on old ribs at half the cost of new
ones. The fire extinguisher can
be attached to any gin, on old or
new ribs, and is guaranteed to ex
tinguish any fire that may be gen
erated in. the gin, no matter what
the cause.r The two can be used
together or ’ separately. Mr.
Murph farther informed us that
the repair attachment makes old
ribs practically as good as new,
and afterward can be repaired as
often as necessary at the nominal
cost of five cents .each. Mr.
Morph has secured a patent and
will place his invention on the
market, and will in a short time
offer county and state rights fori
sale.
