It can be steadily in creased by installment payments. Needed cottages could be built in Perry at once. If need be a building and loan association could be used to build the first two or three houses. When once started, there would be business enough to do. The town and all the people therein would be Vnefitted. The stock holders would reap fair profits. Beal estate could be bought, improved and sold; Let’s organize such a company at once. It can be done at the court house this (Thursday) after noon. There is need of improvement in Perry. Such an organization will assure it to a considerable de gree. Let’s start on this line now. Strangers are not apt to come in and do such work. A small beginning may result in the building of extensive factories. A little money and lots of energy can acconmplish much.

Troup Taylor, of Atlanta, came down to Perry again the early part of last week, and since then he has been searching for phosphate rocks on Boss Hill farm, and at several other places in Honston county, below Perry. Messrs. J. W. Clark and J. N. Tattle are interested with him in this hunt for phosphate. They are all confident that they will yet see phosphate beds successfully work ed iu Honstou. The search has been very much hindered by the failure last week to secure laborers to do the neces sary digging. Tuesday the most promising find yet secured was uncovered, and the hope is strong with them that rich beds of guano rock will be unearthed. They are now at work with re newed zeal, and the “key to the sit uation” with' which to unlock a mine of-wealth may be found this week.

One of these stalks was 92 inches long, with 17 ma tured joints. The longest of the joints measured 6 inches. Though the cane crop in Houston is very fair, this is much above the aver age.
