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. W. H. HARRIS, DENTIST. Successor te llr. W. A.

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.

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. is visiting the family of Mr. N.
