About Houston Peaches. Upon the arrival of a northern owner of a fruit orchard near Fort Valley, the Courier says: «Mr. Hale is one of the most prom inent fruit growers in the union, hav- in“ large orchards in Connecticut. Upon being interviewed by the Cou rier he said he had spent three days inspecting his orchard and found that some of the Elberta blocks were overloaded; others a fair crop and some a little shy—on the whole per haps one-fourth from last year, but to offset this the fruit is larger and finer than ever before at this season. “Varieties like Tillotson, Hiley, Belle of Georgia and other like Kinds are ail carrying a heavy crop, and the fruit has been severely thin ned,but what is left bids fair to be of extra fine size, and appears to be en tirely free from spot or blemish. “Taking the crop as a whole, he thinks it compares favorably with that of last year, when his company shipped 142 carloads after losing fully one-fourth of the crop on ac- connt of the rainy season; this year, if the weather holds good, they ex* pect to ship from 175 to 200 car loads. “Taking everything into consider ation, the prospects for a remunera tive crop this season are unusually fine. The Hale-Ga. Co. also has 100 acres planted in canteloupes that are growing finely.” —Our Ladies’ Embroidred Handkerchiefs at 12£/l and 10/ are fine for the prices. L. Ml Paul. A WORTHY SUCCESSOR. •‘Something New Under the Sun.” All doctors have tried to cure Catarrh by the use of powders, acid gases, inhal ers and drugs in paste form.

The experience of Houston county farmers in planting and cultivating their crops this year is beyond com parison more aggravating than that of any other year within our memo ry- At no time since the preparation for planting began this year have more than a very few farmers been able to secure the service of as many laborers as they needed. It is perhaps a fact that in num bers there is not enough to do all the necessary farm work promptly. But the fact most aggravating is that a large proportion of the ne groes in the county will not work regularly, and many of these are ab solutely unreliable.. They do not re gard a promise as in any degree binding. Several farmers have told us that not only are they unable to rely up on the promises of negro day hands, but that they are more slothful and shiftless this year than ever before. They not only do not work faithful ly, but many of them have made false reports as to higher prices of fered for a day’s work. For instance: If fifty cents is the price for a day’s work chopping cot ton,some of these negroes have gone to farmers who very much needed laborers and reported that farmers several miles distant were pacing 60 cents, or as much as 75 cents a day. Several days ago half a‘dozen able-bodied young negro men doing nothing on the streets of Perry were heard to agree that they would not chop any more cotton, because the grass was too heavy, the sun too hot and the days too long. But that they would go to the fruit farms and get more per day. All these things have conspired to make leliable laborers scarce, much to the disadvantage of the farmers. Never before have Houston farmers been so late in having their cotton chopped, and with the “set backs” of the weather, the average size of Houston cotton was never before so small at this season of the year. Even now hundreds of acres are un chopped, and e?ass is unusually su perabundant and vigorous. Many of our best farmers have de clared that never again will they plant so large a proportion of their lands in cotton, but that they will plant such crops in larger proportion that do not so urgently require so much “extra” labor. Just what change will be made we do not presume to suggest, but that there must be a change is beyond controversy. Our farmers cannot permit the domination of shiftless and unrelia ble negro laborers during the culti vating season. ■ ■ ,.i' ~ \ ->• In Memoriam. At early dawn Thursday, June 6; the death angel entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Thompson and plucked their beautiful bud. Little Dan was an unusually at tractive child, bright beyond his age and the sunbeam of his home. Though he had not reached the first mile-stone on life’s road, yet he had entwined himself axound the hearts of parents and friends. His short life was not in vain; the example of purity, trust and love will not be lost. Oh, it is hard to give our babes up,but how sweet the thought that they are . safe from sorrow and care, and “some sweet day” will welcome us home. To the bereaved parents we offer sympathy that only a mother who has held her dying babe’s hand and seen him breathe his last can feel. May our little guardian angels be our guiding stars to lead us to the better and purer life, and finally welcome us into the pearly gates. A Friend.

Mossy Hill Notes. ' BY SOCKS. We- never Baw the like since the dirth of Moses of the didoes the weather has been cutting all this year. We have been able to plow only five days in the last three weeks, on account of the continued rains. But with all that, there is but one bunch of grass on the Hill. That j one bunch, however, is just enough, j for it reaches all the way around i and clear across. Don’t give it up,} boys, bat tighten your grip and go go at it with heads up. The labor question is the leading' theme of discussion here, but I’m very happy to say every one is just standing square up to the rack, and will not demoralize what labor there is by offering demoralizing prices. We hate but one price on the Hill, and all stick to it like brothers. Of course there are black sheep in all flocks, and occasionally some smarty feels called on to break the rules. The rains made the public roads very heavy and muddy, and started a lot of chain gang talk already. Many of our best people declared when the chain gang was abolished that it was a step backward, and now bets are freely offered that the gang will be in operation in less than than two years. It will be just as difficult for we oountry peo ple to go back and travel in the mud and slush as it is for you town fel lows to go without your morning nip. The grain crop has all been har vested, and the thresh man is al ready on the road, and very soon home-made biscuit will decorate many tables. ' Say, neighbors, what about our barbecue this summer? When we whip General Green, suppose we get together and celebrate the occasion with a barbecue, fireworks, etc. Think about it and talk about it to each other, and see if we can’t get in shape. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Wimberly en tertained a large party of their young friends at their beautiful home, “Joy Hall,” last Friday even ing. No one is more loved by the young people than Mr. and Mrs. Wimberly, and their parties are al ways largely attended and greatly enjoyed. In the early part of the afternoon the clouds grew dark and lowering and the rain fell copiously, but when the clouds rolled away and the sun shone forth in splendor for the occasion, the parlors, which were beautifully decorated with lovely flowers, were soon filled with one of the brightest and happiest parties of young people gathered this sea son. Everyone participated in the many pretty games, and too soon the happy evening was over. Dainty refreshments were served from the pretty dining-room. There were guests from Perry, Elko and Una-r dilla, and all declared it was the happiest evening of the many spent with Mr. and Mrs. Wimberly. ' Maj. M. L. Cooper of Perry was on Mossy Hill a little while last Friday, and found out before he reached home that it rains in the country sometimes, too. Mr. C. B. Till has killed the big gest snake reported so far; he sport ed 16 rattles and a button. Misses Mary Davis and Kate Moore of Perry charmed their friends on the Hill with a visit last week. Elko Etchings. The Delayed Execution. Our readers will remember that at the last April term of Houston Su perior court Romulus Williams, a negro man,was convicted of murder, he having shot and killed Adam Hunnicut in the tenth district, and sentenced to be hung on the 31st of May last. * The case was carried to the Su preme court, and pending that hear ing, Gov. Candler granted a respite for 30 days, which will expire on the 30th of June. The case has been argued in the Supreme court, but the decision has not been rendered. : A Terrible Explosion “Of a gasoline stove burned a lady here frighfuUy,” writes N. E.
