Bell, after a con ference with leading members of the two regiments, concluded to postpone the celebration until yesterday. Under the active management of Clerk of the Superior Court Thomas M. Bell, Jno. A. Smith, chairman of the board of county commissioners, and Secretary of the Association Warren H.

Brown, druggist. The Buford team came up yesterday and crossed bats with the Gainesville team. . again their battles. Particularly were the meetings pathetic when old gray- bearded men, bent with the infirmities of age, recognized a former commander among the other gray beards and the two clasped hands with moistened eyes and chatted garrulously of the days that tried men’s souls. It was about half past ten o'clock when the veterans and their friends gathered in the pi*etty grove next to the fair grounds, where a platform had been erected for the speakers and seats arranged for their auditors. Upwards of two thousand persons were present, and you could pick out the vets, when ever the band began to play ‘‘Dixie/' or the chorus, under the leadership of Mr. F. H. Logan, started to sing “The Bonnie Blue Flag.” The ceremonial observance of the day began when Mrs. S. C. Shewmake, rep resenting the Daughters of the Confed eracy, welcomed the visitors on behalf of that order and introduced Mr. Thomas M. Bell, who made a stirring address of welcome on behalf of the city, frequent yells of applause—that old, familiar yell—greeting his bursts of patriotic eloquence. At the ctmclusion of his remarks the Queen City band struck up “The Bon nie Blue Flag,” and, as the soul-stir ring strains rang out, two little maids in white, who had places on. the stand, waved majestically to and fro the bullet gashed battiflags of the 43d and 52d regiments, while the men who had followed the old banners yelled themselves hoarse, while their eyes flashed, their bent forms straightened and the old lust, born of carnage, and which only a soldier can feel, held pos- session of their very souls, . r~~i EfCol. H. A. Bell, the old commander of the 43d, responded to Mr. Bell’s speech of welcome - on behalf of the survivors of his regiment, and Capt. R. R. Asbury did a similar service for the men of the 52d.

Question.—Some time since Isawfl stated that good cans could be grow$ from, the top third of cane. PleaM write me if this theory can be relied os* Any other information touching canj culture -will interest south Geoigil planters. Answer.—It has been demonstrated by Dr. W. C. Stubbs, of the LouisiaB* Sugar Experiment Station, as well si other directors, that the top third of fill cane stalk is not as good, but snp9rioi for seed purposes. Dr. Stubbs recoa# mends that only this portion of fill plant be used for seed. The tops, how 1 ever, should not be banked, as is th{ custom where the whole cane is used foi seed purposes. The land upon wbni cane is to be grown another season should be thoroughly prepared, and rows opened before grinding takes plao® •‘The top third of the cane,” says Stubbs, ^should be cut off and P* 811 * in the rows in the usual manne*, without stripping.
