Houston county,—climate^ prod
ucts Of the soil, society, school fa
cilities, etc. He desires a Georgia
fptm, and will become a Georgian,
by adoption, if he c ; an be suited,
After talking with himl we reachr
ed.tlie conclusion that he will be
hard to suit, though he professed
himself well pleased with the
county, arid the people. Especial
ly was lie pleased with tha fruil
farms he had seen. During the
two hours we talked with 'him, we
Appreciated the fact that . he. was
the interviewer.
He inquired particularly as to
the cost of farming in Houston
county. For instance; he cared
more to.know the cost of raising a
bale of cotton, than how. much
cotton could be grown pei\ acre.
Or generally;. the main question
was; wbat per cent of the farm
products does the expense of pro
duction consume? On this line we
could give him no definite informa
tion, and lie informed us that Me
had not been able to obtain any.
This fact he declared to be a posi
tive stumbling-block. in the path
of northern immigrants. When
they propose to buy southern
farms, they want to know what
they can reasonably ^expect to real
ize from the products of the
farms, with reliable information
as to the. cost df-farming.
The idea set forth is a, sugges
tive on.e, and it would- be well for
every farmer in the comity to pos
sess himself of this information,
even if there be no need or desire
to impart it to northern home-
seekers.
He asked concerning the price
of lands, arid here again we were
unable to give him specific infor-
matiari. In this-connection comeg
in a suggestion that our land own
ers who have farms for sale would
do well to act upon at once. All
lands that are for sale at reasona
ble prices should be placed in the
hrinds of a real estate agency, or
asspeiafiun, each farm or tract ful
ly described; and price per aere
fixed. . For this there need be no
expense to the land owner until a
sale is perfected, and then a peri
centage of the price received Would
pay the agency for the services
rendereda This is not a new idea
to us, and the Home Journal Fas
heretofore Urged.. the esta blish-
riient of such an agency, or asso
ciation. Greater scope could be
given such an enterprise by secur
ing. some northern man as^atxh
agent, and thus reliable northern
emigration could more readily be
induced.
Mr. Tapper-expressed surprise
at the general lack of first-class
improvements ori our-farms,' and
says this,, fact will strike every
Ohio farmer unfavorably who sees
this country. He spoke, riot un
pleasantly as a critic, but simply
noted the superiority of Ohio
farm improvements over those he
has.seen in Geoegia.
As to the negro, he says his eyes
have been completely opened, and
that hereafter no northerner, can
advocate social equality in -his
presence without rebuke; He free
ly said that the presence of the
negro here, when his general “Char
acter is understood, will. bo the
greatest bar to the immigration of
northern farmers.
We could write much more con
cerning what Mr. Tanner said,
and the impressions he made and
received, but our space is too lim
ited, afld our. .memory probably
not retentive in a^pecific.sense.
He impressed us very favorably,
and it is not unlikely fhat we. will
reproduce some of the letters that
will be published in his county pa
per. ....
We would be glad for him to
become a citizen of Houston.

learn that about thirty delegates
were present^-represeriting ten

Mbustdii Sunerior Court.
The fall term of Houston Su
perior Court, will opefi next Mon
day, and probably continue two
weeks.
According to precedent; Judge
Gustin will probably open court
at 12:30, or probably an hour la
ter, but we would advise all par
ties summoned to- serve as jurors
to be at the, court house at 9
O’clock a. m. ; . .. .
Our court officers are in readi
ness, and there will be no delay
on their account: a
Clerk Y/ellons informs us > that
there are about 100 civil cases on
on the dockets ready for trial,
and, legal delays excepted, these
are sufficient to keep - the court
busy for full two weeks.
There are only 4 prisoners. in
jail.for trial this court,, but Sever
al; are ; out on bond. One of the
prisoners is charged with . murder,
hut it is not likely to take much
time, as the evidence is direct
and conclusive. , . .. • ,
It is not, -unlikely, that the
grand jur^ iriay materially -in
crease the criminal business of the
court by .indictments,, but- we are
not informed in -, this particular,
Be that as it may, the grand jury
will be composed Of true arid com
petent then,, and their service to
the county; will be in strict con
formity with the obligation they
assume - . , . •
Our. attorneys .should remember
that taxation is heavy, and be
careful that no fault of, theirs
shall make the court, by/reasori of

sive than ia absolutely necessary.
who visits Perry next week will j
come prepared to settle up to date, j
and renew foy, one. year. The re- p
newal will cost jurit- §1.50. All
things considered, it is. decidedly
preferable to begin the newspaper
year ab,ontthe 1st of. October. It
is best vfor., subscribers, because
that lb the usual tinTe,fqr settling
accounts, and money is more plen
tiful then. Better for the pub
