Mr. Editor—In. company with
Messrs, W. J. Moore, W. D. Pierce
and S, T. Hurst we attended the
session of the Houston County Bap
tist Union held * last Saturday and
Sunday in the Aultman and Hardi
son community, near Gunter post-
office. We had desired to'visit this
neighborhood for a long: time, and
gladly embraced this opportunity.
We had heard of the splendid situa
tion Of the people there, but were
not prepared to see such fine lands
in so large a body, settled by so
many thrifty and .intelligent farm
ers. We believe from an eminence,
from twenty to thirty nice farm
houses can be counted. I
In this body of land (which is a
dark gray soil with clay foundation)
is the celebrated plantation of the
late Col. B. M. Bateman, containing
over 400 acres, for which $30 per
acre was offered laBt fall. There is
now 80 acres in corn, in the roasting
ear, Und it is fine. The crops are
larger and finerithan they are about
Perry, no doubt on account of bet
ter seasons.
I am told that one gentleman in
this community commenced about
fifteen years ago to farm with one
mule, and it only half paid for. Now
he owns several hundred acres of
land, and for some of it he paid $30
per acre; that he bought 100 acres
for $3,000, paying‘ cash $1,800, and
the balance put of the next crop.
The Gospel Tent was located in a
grove near the splendid home of
Mr. Jeff Hardison. This grove was
full of vfehioles, tables and people.
In fact, it could not hold the con
veyances. This fact made us ourious
to know how many buggies were
there, and after dinner we couuted
one hundred and five nice buggies,
besides a number of carriages, traps,
wagons, etc. The stock was in fine
condition. Bain is needed here, as
in other sections of the county, '
I called this the Aultman and Har
dison neighborhood because there
are so many families with those
names, and it is a common saying
that you need make but two guesses
to know a man’s name/ Guess first
either Hardison or Aultman, and if
you miss, guess the other name.
Some four hundred people were
th$re Sunday. The attendance was
good. Rev. A. S. Dix, of Perry,
preached the 11 o’clock.sermon Sun
day. J. D. Martin.

Friday afternoon,June 21st, Misses
May and Kate Hodges entertained
the Club in a most delightful man
ner. .
There was very little business to
be attended to, so it was not long
before we were enjoying the pleas
ant little game which our hostesses
had prepared for us.
The presence of Mrs. Weaver of
LaGrange., Miss Taylor of Macon,
and Miss Houser of Elko added very
much to the pleasure of the after
noon.
It was real late for the dignified
Spinsters to be out alone, when we
bid our fair hostesses adieu.
We all trust the time will not be
long in coming when we shall again
enjoy the hospitality of this sweet
home. Seo’t’y.

Bugs Eating Ootton Lice.
413 Third Street,
MACON, GEORGIA.
In a long article in the Atlanta
Constitution last Friday, it was de
clared that the Central of .Georgia
and the Georgia Southern & Flori
da Railways will soon be operated
under one name and one manage
ment. This, it is said, will be
brought about by the fact that the
owners of the Southern Railway al-^
so own a controlling interest in the
stock of both these roads, and that
the merging will be done in order to
reduce the cost of management; The
Southern, it is declared, will take
over all portions of the two other
systems that are not so situated as
to render such action a violation of
the Georgia law forbidding the pur
chase or direct control by one road
of competing lines.
Last week we published an item
to the effect that bugs resembling
potato bugs were on ootton in sev
eral sections of the county. Some
of these bugs taken fro pi cotton
on Mr. E. L. Dennard’s farm
were sent to the assistant state
Entomologist in Atlanta.
In answer to a letter written by
Dr. R. L. Cater of Perry, Mr. W.
Fiske, the assistant efntomolo
gist, says this bug is the conver
gent lady bug, and,, its presence on
the cotton should cause gratifica
tion rather than alarm, as they
aye ' doubtless feeding upon the
plant lice on. the cotton. Mr;
Fiske further says these bugs are
quite common in Georgia this
yeay, and that all lady bugs met
with in Georgiarare beneficial in
theiy nature.
Reports from the farmers with
in the last several days corobo-
rate the entomologist, all agreeing
that these bugs are not eating the
cotton plants, but that the lice
are disappearing.
