been married a year.
—Mr. Jordan Kee»e, one of the earlieat
settler* of Meriwether ooonty, died recent
ly, aged eighty-four.
—Mr. J.O. Deal. tax collector of Webrer
county, ia d* ad. He waa an o!<f and promi
nent citizen.
—The dwelling-house of Mr. J. A. Cox. of
Thoms* county, with all hia effects, waa
burned recently.
—Mr. William Gothavd, of Meriwetl.i
county, waa knocked from hia mule on the
Tel button road, near Greenville, one night
recently and robbed of $1.10.
—An incendiary fire destroyed tbe dwell
ing of Mr*. Adeline Foster in Henry comi
ty recently, together with all her house
hold effects. %
—Five hundred pounds of pumpkins
were gathered from one vine in IteKalb
county. Judge Davis gathered 628 squashes
from one vine recently, in addition totboac
that had been used for the table during the
season.
—The Waynesboro Herald has a corre
sfiondent who is an exceedingly tough ciri
sen. He says that in 1670 he had bit right
shoulder broken. After that he had bis
left shoulder broken. About three years
ago he received a fall and was unable to
walk for three months thereafter, and about
four weeks ago he fell from a wagon, and
the vehicle, loaded with about two thousand
pounds of merchandise, passed over his
b-sly, breaking his left shoulder and injur
ing him internally. Yet, in spite of all
these misfortunes, he is to-day lively and
well.
—The Oglethorpe Echo says that pros
pecting in the gold region continues with
unabated ardor. Practical miners are con
stantly arriving, and the Flat Wood* have
grown into a minature Black Hills. The
woods are being thoroughly examined for
rich leads, and some very encouraging
traces are found. Work at the Guarantee
mine is progressing slowly but surely, and
In ten days it is thought the stamp-mills will
be under full headway and the work of ex
tracting the precious metal begun in earnest.
An immense pile of ore has been taken out,
and two tunnels are following what ia
thought to be the vein that feeds the Golden
Vale.
—The Hinesville Gaxette says that with
out doubt the rice crop has been the preser
vation of this county this year. The crop
has been unusually good, and on the up
lands the seasons have been excellent and
the expense of cultivation veiy small. The
price has in no case been lower than $1 Oft
net cash. To show the activity in this line,
within the past week over three thousand
bushels in bulk have been shipped from
No. 8, Albany and Gulf railroad, besides
smaller lota in large quantities. Every
store in the county has been buying rice
and there ia a large quantity on hand
Nearly all of this rice has been made on the
pine lands, the planters on the lowlands
having sent their rice by boat This ought
to put some money in circulation.
—The TlioniasviUe Enterprise says that
on Wednesday of last week the section of
Thomas county lying west of the river was
the scene of one of those horrible outrage*
«o common apparently all over the county,
bnt from which we have heretofore enjoyed
almost an immunity. A young married
lady of aa respectable a family as any in
the county, waa alone at her home, while
her husband was away at work. She ob-
aerveda negro man approaching the house
and supposing it was one whom she knew,
she called to him by name. The negro an
awered to the name, approached her as she
was going from the house to the kitchen and
just as she saw tier mistake *eixcd
her, and carrying her into the
houae, succeed'd in executing his
horrible purpose, and then made hi* escape.
Word waa at once sent to Sheriff Coyle and
search was at the same rime instituted in
the neighborhood. Sheriff Coyle that night
arrested a negro and lodged him in jail.
On Thursday a deputation c**nie over and
wished to take the man with them for iden
tification, as the lady was too unwell to
come to town. This the sheriff refused to
accede to, fearing t! at summary vengeance
might bo visited upon the man if the lady
swore to his being the fiend who committed
the crime. Subsequently the lady was
brought to town and upon seeing the negro
pronounced him as not the guilty one. He
was released.
—The Buena Vista Argus recites a ro
mantle affair. Several years ago Mr. Lewis
Mont ford and his wife separated. About
two and a half years ago he married anoth
er woman without having a divorce from
hia first wife. The father of his second
wife had him arrested for bigamy and he
was confined in jail for some rime. He
was finally released on hail, his second wife
standing on his bond. lie instituted suit
for divorce from hts first wife, and managed
to delay trial for idgamy until last week,
when a divorce wo* granted him by the
court. Montford ami hts second wife were
on band ready with a license and were mar
ried a second lime in less than twenty min
utes after the divorce had been granted, the
•ceremony being performed in Mr. Stokes's
blacksmith shop. And thus ended a per

—Hawkinsville Dispatch: On Friday
evening, the 24tli of October, a serious cut
ting affray occurred on the ridge road, near
the line cf Pulaski and Dodge counties.
Hubert Kosar and his wife were traveling
the road in an ox-cart, when, near Mrs. Hol
land's, they were overtaken by Levi Evans,
who was in a buggy. The road being had
Rosar had to drive on a piev before he could
offer Evans halt the road. When the road got
better Rotar told Evans he could drive by

commenced cutting at llozar with his knife.
R<«ar kepi him off with his whip, and
started to get out of the cart, but got tangled
in the lines and fell to the ground, the cart
running over him and breaking his leg
below the knee. Evans then jumped
on him amt cut him three times in
the back. cutting the lower
part of the left lung. The oxen run off
with Rozar's wife. After Evansg -t through

told her he had beat her husband a little,
and she persuaded him to go back and help

and carried him to Mrs Holland s and left
word for Dr. Sapp to visit Rosar and he
would pay for it. Evans is now in the
Kastman jail.

These things hmve ill been removed
from Oglethorpe park. Dost and the
debris of depsrted dinners in the shape
of empty bottles, crusts of breads, pieces
of meat and greasy newspapers are scat,

the aspect of a deserted bivouac, and
soon the silence of a western prairie at

rsras.
We hope that another vear from now
the fair which is held at Oglethorpe park
may meet with greater success than ever.
Atlanta did not fully come up to her
duty. She should have seen to it that
the fttir grounds were a temple of indus
try where the majesty of genius, the glory
of enterprise, the marvel of art, the
grandeur of invention and the skill of
contrivance were tally illustrated.
We hope next year to see crowds at
the park. The people should visit fairs.
They bring relaxation and amusement
to many who are unwilling to obtain it
any other way. Those who go to fairs
forget for awhile the bonds of grinding
.foil. They are educated by the eye and
ear; they are made wiser, happier and
better by coming in contact with the
marching columns of the army of pro
cess.
Our people of this section of Georgia
should go to work to make the next fair
greater success. The display just made
will give a stimulus to various branches
of industry. The result will be iietter
stork, better grain, better fruits, better
implements, better machinery, iietter
clothes, better vehicles, better cotton,
iietter everything. Fairs are blessings in
disguise, as they contribute to the sub
stantial strength of the state, help to
make it self-supporting snd self-snstain-
ing.
siieei- xjmuaatT.
To Destroy Ticks on Iambs.—Boil one
pound and a half of tobacco in five pails
of water and thoroughly waah the lambs
in the decoction.
To Destroy Ticks on Sheep.—Mix a
little sulphur with salt and feed occa
sionally through the warm weather.
The same remedy applied to cattle troub
led with lice, will soon rid them of the
vermin. The nse of snlphnr with sslt
repays the trouble of keeping a supply
for cattle and sheep. If a mixture of
one (.art of sulphur with seven of salt be
freely supplied, there will be no trouble
witli vermin. You can give horses the
mixture with good effect.
In selecting sheep, get the best and
take good caw of them. Feed grain (a
pint of chop or its equivalent per day)
and roots or hsy all winter. Have lamlw
to come jnst as early in the spring or
Iste in the winter as possible. Sheep do
not drink much water at a time bnt they
drink often.
OAKDKN WORE.
Before cold weather sets in go over the
garden and clean off everything, spade
the ground, but do not rake it, and let it
lay in this condition over winter. Fall
spading should never he neglected, on
stiff, clsyey soil especially, it is very lien-
eficial. It is a great mistake witli many
who have gardens, after the vegetables
are gathered, to neglect the ground, leav
ing decayed grass, weeds, etc., upon it
and not breaking it up.
SHELTER FOR 1IOOS.
It is a false economy in farmers to neg
lect providing shelter for their hogs, es
pecially in the winter, the time of wet,
cold, unpleasant weather. Hogs are lia
ble to rheumatism, chronic coughs; these
things bring on a decline, and end in
death. They should not only have quar
ters provided for them, but auch as are
well ventilated. Close and badly ven
tilated quarters ia satficient ol itself to
produce hog cholera.
ORCHARDS.
In planting an orchard, exercise care
and judgment. Be prudent in selecting
situation as well as soil. Avoid low
places, for on them cold air settles and
causes Irost and mildew. Elevated, higli
places, are free from these objections.
In selecting fruits, do not nave an eye
n great number of varieties, but find
out and procure the kinds which are
free from disease and rot; what grows the
best, ripens the best and hangs on the
longest. The trees for setting should be
young and vigorous, and they should
1 lave plenty of small fibrous roots.
The ground in which the tree is plant-
‘ should he thoroughly pulverized snd
well worked in amongst the roots until it
is in close contact with every one, after
which a few inches of earth shonld be
placed around and the whole pounded or
tramped until it ia very compact. The
year after transplanting is the most im-
»>rtant of all others in the life of s tree,
f a good, healthy, vigorous growth is se
cured that year, there is greater certainty
of its being kept up thereafter. One
good reason for fall planting and fmit
trees, the roots grow and heal over in the
winter, and when spring comes they are
ready to grow and do grow, before the
hot, dry weather sets in.
FARM NOTES.
—Poultry should have warm quarters.
In addition to this, they should be well
led with wheat, meal, mush and scrap
ings from the kitchen. Fowls should
hsve change of food.
—Clean up about the farm. Get every
thing in readiness for winter. See that
the corn-cribs are in gjjod order and free
from rats and mice.
It is better for farmers to plant trees
in the foil. Better stock can lie had,
more care can be given to the planting
and spring work is advanced by so doing.
If the farmer hae more money than
he owes, he should make a judicious out-
lav of it on hi* place. Draining wet
land makee a good return. Good stock
pa vs better than poor. Have good
bnces, well-selected frnit trees, carefully
looked after fields. It all pays and adds
to one's comfort.
"»Ve have seen chickens sold on the
streets of Atlanta in wagons which
rather turned the stomach. Why not
projfido fowls with clean food and pare
water? They are the best for table
meat. I-et the flesh of vonr poultry be
sweet snd not hmve a strong scent of the
barnyard.
WATERING COWS.
To make cows give rich milk, and to
increase the quantity, give them every
day water slightly’warm and slightly
salted in which bran has been stirred at
the rate of one quart to two gallons of
water. The cow will give more milk
under the effects of it, and she will be
come very iond of it. The amount of
this drink ia an ordinary water pailfal at
a time, morning, noon and night.
HOU CHOLERA.
We have before us a letter, making
some inquiries about hcg cholera. We
frankly admit that like the committee
that went out from the national agri-
cultural department, we know but little
about it. One thing we believe, and that
is there are natural causes for the disease,
and that worms, filth, exposure, too
much Com, too early maturity, continued
breeding to young sows and blood poison,
each and all are liable to produce cholera.
Now if a man eats a hearty sapper of
fried chickens and eggs, or pork and
hams, or fried oysters and sausages and
goes immediately to bed on the coki
ground, no pillow but a cold rock, and
no covering but dripping clouds, be may-
get up in the morning sick. Farmer, ap
ply the same to yonr hogs. Do not let
any but healthy hogs couple, and not
until they have reached maturity. Give
them good food, but restrain their appe
tites. Give them time for digestion, fur
nish them plenty of pore water and take
all the precautions necessary to health
which the human family do. If these
things are attended to, hogs are apt to
escape much sickness.
SLACGHTXRIXG ANIMALS.
U some of the men who bring beef or
it renders the animal rigid and prevents
that easy and quiet flow of blood which
is essential to the production of prime
beef. The killing shonld be done b r
driving s narrow knife blade, by a qnici;
motion, in between the head and the
first vertebra, piercing the spinal marrow,
destroying the sense, snd paralyzing ail
the muscles of the body, leaving them
soft and flexible. The animal shonld
then be slang up by the hind legs and
quickly bled, aa the flow will be rapid,
perfectly exhausting the reservoirs of the
fluid contained in the body. Anima'
should never be slaughtered when in _
feverish or excited condition, whether
caused by excessive bodily exertion or
the frenzy of fear. Under snch circum
stances the bleeding will he imperfect and
fitful, leaving the meat bloody and sub
ject to speedy taint and decay.

Plant hardy bulbs any time before
frost. The earlier the better. Hya
cinths, tulips, crocuses, snow drops, nar
cissus, etc., to flower finely in the spring
must be planted in the fall. A succes
sion of plantings will prolong the season
of flowering. They are hardy and of
the easiest culture. A rich sandy loam
is best, the bed raised or rounded so that
no water will stand and freeze. Plant
the different bulbs three or four inches
deep, and three and six to nine inches
span. As severe weather approaches,
spread long manure or leaves over them.
As spring advances, remove the covering
with care.
PLANTS.
Very soon some of the tender plants
must be housed for the winter. In trans
planting from the flower beds to the
room, the plants should first be cut back,
and after standing for a few days, they
should he lifted and potted in good, fresh
soil. Water them thoroughly, placing
them in a shady position out of the wind
for a few days, then bring them into the
room where they are to remain. Care
should be taken not to water too much.
Watering shonld be done only when
plants are dry, and then water freely, ho
the water will go entirely through the
poL If a plant looks sick, with feeble
growth, givojt but little water, for unless
there are leaves to evaporate moisture

grown in rooms by placing*the pot they
are in inside of a larger pot with about
an inch space around infilling this space
with moss, which will keep the roots
warm. We have repeatedly given reme
dies for the various insects which infest
plants.
Take new slips of verbena of the young
runners which have rooted and plant
them in a box of nice light earth.
Sprinkle and place in a shaded, modera
tely cool place for a week. Then take to
winter quarters, which must be a light,
airy place, rather cool than otherwise.
Fumigate every week or two with tobac
co and wet the soil with weak tobacco
tea once each week. Treated thus they
will bloom all winter. Watch closely for
insects, and do not keep too warm.
Take care of yonr flowers. They will
light you through many a dark day. Be
stow care upon them; give them time
and thought. They will repay your care
with love, and your life will be the bet
ter for the pleasurable enjoyment.
FLORAL ITEMS.
Protect tender roses as soon as-cold
weather approaches, but not cover them
too soon; it will make them tender.
■Take up plants and pot the most ten
der first.
—Easy plants to grow in the sitting
room are the calk, wax plant, cactus, ivy
and draceos.
—Manure and dig flower beds and
leave them rough for the action of the
frost through the winter.
—The rose is becoming more perfect
i color, form and perfume. A new’ tea
rose is the dutchess of Edinbnrg, it is a
deep crimson and flowers freely. The
Maria Galliot is white, slightly tinted
with yellow—the flowers are large,
double and beautiful alike in bad and
bloom. The American banner is a spring
noveltv. It ia charmingly striped, red
and white, and carries its color on silken
tissue and waving its tea scented fra
grance far and near. It is an expensive
rose, being entirely new.
Burn some wood, collect the soot from
the chimney or stove pipe, and put it in
a pail and pour hot water on it; allow’ it
to cool and then give your roses a drink
frequently and mark their improvement.
HINTS TO FARMERS.
Do not ran down two acres in ob
taining the amount of crops that one
acre would produce by thorough culture.
-To destroy lice on poultry, put about
tablespoonful of sulphur in their nests
as soon as the hens and turkeys are set.
—Isand designed for oats next spring
should be ploughed this fall, just before
winter sets in, left rough, and sown to
oats early in the spring.
Laugh at book farming, do you? Do
you know* what ingredients are required
m the soil to raise abundant crops of
grain, hay,cotton, fruit or vegetables?
And can you tell what these crops are
composed ol?
Fanner, for one dollar and fiftv cents
year you can get the Weekly Consti
tution, with its two columns weekly of
agricultural matter and its pages full of
all matters of interest Can you afford
to be without it?
—How many farmers attended the
fair at Atlanta? Ah! my friends, do not
be too exclusive, too much wrapped up
in your own individual cares. You
ought to take advantage of the exchange
of ideas, free thought and expression.
—It is a good plan as soon as crops are
harvested to clean up and leave the
ground in good condition.
—Cattle, horses and all stock should be
i tot into good condition before winter sets
Mount Aiet, Ga., July 18.—Upper Geor
gia, on account of it* beautiful location,
mild climate, and salubrious air, is a favor
ite resort for what we call the “low land
ers,” that is for people from middle and
lower Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and
Mississippi, who spend tbeirsummers here.
Even before the war it was customary for
the “low lander*” to make pilgrimages to
upper Georgia, accompanied by hosts of
negro servants, and summer residences and
pretty villas, in the vicinity of Clarksville,
and in the Naooochee valley,date from these
times. When the yellow fever prevails in
the Mississippi valley, they come
in legions, and settle down wherever
they can. A genuine Georgia farmer is
prepared to entertain guests, but whosoever
makes arrangements to do so. is sure of
having hia bouse full of people during the
summer months, who will eat bis peaches,
apples and melons, and consume considera
ble quantities of milk, paying better prices
for these products than ©3uld be realized by
sending them to a market.
Anyone not too far away from the rail
road can secure this extra source of income.
Very often these visitors are gentlemen do
ing business in Atlanta or some other
southern city, who send their families, as
they call it, “into the mountains,” and who
spend their Sundays up here with their
families.
Many inquiries are made this year for
summer residences, which this country,
with its present facilities, cannot even par
tially meet. The possibility of choosing
“summer boarders.” a phrase equivalent fn
our pensionaire, gives this section great ail
vantage over the west, for which Swiss emi
grants show prediction, for at the west, as
far as I know, this source of revenue is not
yet available.
For milch cows there is always a market
hf-re, for. as I have already stated, farmers
here own very few in proportion to the
number of acres owned by them. Farmer-*
owning from 500 to 1,000 acres rarely own
more than three or four cows. Atlanta is
a good market for beef ami
mutton for it draws all its
supplies from east Tennessee, not because
east Tennessee can fufnish them cheaper,
but because upper Georgia supplies a very
small amount of what is needed. South
Carolina, middle and upper Georgia, Ala
bama, Louisiana and Florida are not meat-
producing countries, and never will be be
cause of tbe warm climate. Upper Georgia
is very well suited to stock raising, for it
has open pasturage during eight or nine
months, oats and rye for winter feed, tin-
railroad in close proximity, and land pro
portionately cheap.
It is not |>ossible to state the average price
which land is sold. It depends upon
what kind of land it is; the number of
acres a man wants to buy; how much of
it isfenced; whether a man wants to buy
cultivated land only, or pasturage also;
whether it is near the railroad or at a dis
tance from it; whether creek with water
power runs through it or not; how many
springs are on it; whether there are neigh-
bore close by or not; whether it is to
be j>aid for on time or cash. etc. Lts»s than
$4.00, or much less than $1.00 per acre it
can hardly be had. This price will not buy
cultivated land. Cultivated land under
fence, and without dwelling, cannot be had
for less than $6.00 an acre. Land can be
bought cheaper at a distance from the rail
road, in the mountains of North Carolina,
and in northern Georgia—that is on the
northern border—but it is a poor specula
tion for people whose object is farming
When they move to a country where there
is already a railroad, and then buy a place
remote from it, the cost is less, of course,
but they will soon find out how much time
and trouble it takes to bring their products
to a distant market.
We should rather let Americans be the
pioneers of culture in the west. The con
ditions under which wc are raised and live
in Switzerland are snch as prohibit us, in
the long run, from engaging in pioneer life,
and our Swiss women, especially, soon
show signs of discontentment if forced to
live even in a semi-wild country.
make any money out of the railroad tick
ets, and because they do make something
out of tickets to the west. As soon as the
Air Line will give the landlords of the
Swiss boarding-houses in New York $1.50 or
$2 for every ticket they can sell over the
road they will recommend this part of the
country just as they do Nebraska and
—Less labor is required by man and
beast if plowing is done in the cool
months.
Attend to all loose boards, rickety
shatters, and doors, and gates about the
buildings and farm before the cold and
stormy day’s set in.
BARK LICE ON APPLE TREES.
A vigorous growth of apple trees is a
jreat preventative of the depredations of
>ark lice. A vigorous growth can be
bronght abont by judicious pruning of
the branches, draining the land where
the trees stand, manuring the soil and
keeping it free from grass and weeds. It
is atttolutelv essential to have a vigorous
growth of tne trees to keep away damage
from lice. The most ready
way to kill the lice is to apply some wash
to the bark with a stiff brush or swab.
Strong lye made of wood ashes is a good
wash. A mixture of lime, whitewash
and kerosen** oil answers well, using one
pint of kerosene to a gallon of whitewash.
Whatever is used should be applied
thoroughly. To he certain to destroy the
lice, after some days a second application
should be made.
PRUNING FRUIT AND ORNAMENTAL TREES.
If it is desired to improve the form of
a fruit tree and get rid of some of the
superfluous wood, prune in winter.
Many think that where fruit and a per
fectly lealed stump is wished for from
the 15th of March to the 20th of April
suits best. They say that fruit buds
form after this and the operation in sud
denly cutting off its growth produces
buds while the winter pruning produces
wood.
In pruning ornamental trees, gardeners
say that when done in midsummer, the
hark, instead of receding from the stump,
grows over it, and in a few yeais will
completely cover it and make a perfect
amputation.
HOW TO DEAL WITH RATS.
A writer in the Scientific American
.ys: We clean oar premises of these
detestable vermin by making whitewash
yellow with copperas and covering the
stones and rafters with a thick coat of it.
In every crevice where a rat might tread,
we put the crystals of the copperas and
scatter the same in the corners of the floor.
The result was a perfect stampede of rats
and mice. Since that time not a footfall of
either rats or mice has been about the
house. Every spring a coat of yellow wash
is given the cellar, as a purifier as well
as a rat exterminator, and no typhoid,
dysentery or fever attacks the "family.
Many persons deliberately attract all the
rats in the neighborhood by leaving
fruits and vegetables uncovered in the
cellar, and sometimes even the soap is
left open for their regalement. Cover np
everything eatable in the cellar and pan
try and you will soon starve them out.
These precautions joined to the service
of a good cat will prove as good a rat ex
terminator as the chemist can provide.
We never allow rats to be poisoned in
our dwelling; they are so liable to die be
tween the trails and produce much
noyance.
Then we say upper Georgia Is a “new
country,” given over to culture since the

L ut a few year? ago, it would never-
a great mistake to conclude that
we live in a half civilized social condition.
We have schools, public and pri
vate schools, churches, (the inhabi
tants are mostly Presbyterians)
. tan asylums, and well reg
ulated civil courts. We have not, however,
that of which especially those states of Eu
rope and America who boast of standing at
the head of civilization have, a superabun
dance—we have no thieves and murderers,
no tramps; we are not compelled to keep
everything unde* lock and key; the farm
houses of Georgia have no wi'adOA* fasten
ings, and no locks; we can leave our farms
without danger; we need not fear to find,
on our return, our property stoleu and our
bouse in flames. It is not necessary t*>
travel very far in America to find places
where such things are common. There are
Indians here, and no wild animals. I do
not know what a hunter would do here;
there are no hares even, only wild squir
rels; no deer, no bears, no Chinamen, and
few negroes. Whoever has lived
among coolies will readily par
don me for mentioning them
connection with wild animals. There are
negroes, of course, but they do not pre
dominate as in the Carolina?, and as long os
these colored gentlemen perceive that tbe
whites have the advantage, it is easy enough
to get along with them. There are no sand
flies as in Florida, no tarantulas, no scor
pions, no vampire bats sucking one’s blood
while asleep, no crocodiles, no alligators,
and no grasshoppers, that pest of the west
There is only one thing, one custom
which, to a newly-amved European, must
appear barbarous and worthy of Indiaus,
and that is burning the woods, and done
purposely, too. Every spring or fall the
woods are burned, and for miles one can see,
on evenr hill and mountain, the rapid
flames destroying what nature has been
mouths and years in building At first
one asks in vain for the
object of this apparently foolish destruc
tion. You see a man with a piece of pine
wood in his hand walking along the edge of
the woods, at every step firing the dry leave*
and gras*, and to your questioning the ster-
reotyped reply is: We are making good
pasturage for next season. Our stock is not
abundant enough to eat away the grasses
which grow during the summer; the accu
mulating dried grass, in course of time,
forms a dense, felt-like turf, and in a few
years the plants are smothered; in many
places the fallen leaves cover the soil with
thick layers, bushes, saplings, vines, sprouts
of trees, and in three or four years there is
an impenetrable thicket In which stock
grass cannot grow again. Dry grass, brush
and dead trees are thoroughly cleared
away by the fire, the ashes is
manure for the soil and in
places where the fire has been, a beautiful
growth of grass is developed early, much
finer than on portions that were not burned.
But the fire destroys, also, many a good tree
where dry leaves and bushes are close to the
trunk, and the entire aftergrowth of the
forest trees is destroyed with the trash. An
other object in burning tbe woods is the
preservation of the fences and tbe crops
they enclose. In the feuce corners the dry
leaves are often heaped several feet high:
should the adjoining woods not be burned
out, a~.d a fire originates from auy cause, it
will reach the fe ce; there is no chance to
extinguish it in the dry season of the year
and by the following night donbtles- all the
cows and hogs in the neighborhood Are
there to profit by the burnt fence,
cleaning up the growing crop' it
few hours. A narrow path, there
fore, is made, running around the
entire feuce, and wide enough to prevent
the fire from passing over it. When the
wind is favorable, the woods are set on fire,
beginning at tbe side next to the fence.
Nobody cares in the least degree bow far
tbe fire may extend. With favoring wind
the tops of deadened trees are set on fire
by the sparks of flames that may be distant
a half a mile, and their falling branches and
burning bark help to spreal the conflagra
tion, consequently it will not do to let dead
trees stand on the inside of a fence. By
this burning many insects are destroyed,
but the birds also are frightened away. It
is asserted by competent authorities that
the fire disintegrates silica compounds.
That may be. At all events, everything L
destroyed that would form humus.
In order to lend a helping hand to my
countrymen who may resolve to come here.
I am ready to allow them, without charge,
the use ofthecottag \occupied by boarder*
during the summer; and they can do their
own cooking there, if they wish. The
high prices charged by the hotels here fre
quently cause immigrants to come to hasty
conclusions in making purchases of homes,
and they regret not having looked around
more leisurely; but by this method they
If desired I can give the name of the pro
prietor of a much-frequented Swiss emi
grant house in New York who told me upon
one certain occasion, “If you want to go tc
Georgia you may get vour ticket yourself;
we do not make anything out of the tickets
of the Air-Line.”
Immigrants for Georgia, applying at the
ticket office of the Air-Line at the Astor
house, room 44, must not only demand t ick
ets for ML Airy, but make special demand
for immigrant tickets. There are such, and
when the landlord, or the person who is to
attend to getting the tickess, says there are
none to be had. his purpose i* to deceive—
he wants to cajole you into buying tickets
for the wen. In that case go to the Swiss
consul; that will help, and immigrant tick
ets to Georgia will soon make their appear
ance. At least one train a day leaves New
York for Georgia carrying, immigrants.
Travelers will do well to take some provis
ions with them; they will get along
cheaper than when they are obliged to
stop at different hotels along the
route to get meals; you cannot order what
you would like to have but must eat what
ever is set before, you and the cost is the
same whether much or little is eaten.
The fall season is the proper time to ar
rive here. In September rye and oats can
still be sown for winter pasturage, and who
ever wants to plant corn or wheat next
year, can plow up his land, and fence it
*“L
No one should buy farming implement*,
in New York, much less bring them along
from Europe, with the single exception of
of good stynan scythes. The scythes that
are sold here are of cast steel, and whetted
to make them sharp; at all events no plows
should be brought over from Europe. The
few implements whicn a farmer needs here
can be found just as cheap here as in New
York.
Apropos, bring with you—that which
every man who wishes to farm in America
will do well to bring—a good, smart wife.
This is not the proper place to enumerate
all that is required in the composition of a
first-rate housewife; but when a farmer's
wife can cook—when she understands how
to cultivate a kitchen garden productively
—when, in case of necessity, she can milk a
cow and make butter—when she under
stands how to raise poultry—it will be of
much benefit to herself and the farmer.
American women can be just a* good house
wives as their European sister*; but their
education, and consequently their views of
the afiasrs of life are so different from ours,
that, as a rule, my advice is that it would
be better to bring a wife with you.
hi.
The foregoing is a tolerably correct pic
ture of how farming is done, but one may
take a different way, if from youth up he
has been accustomed to any other certain
system. Anybody can build himself a house
just as he chooses; timber is cheap, lime
and rock also. Anybody who chooses to
do to can keep his cows penned np, give
them litter cut and feed clover and oats;
or bring grass seed with him.
No immigrant is compelled to follow the
Georgia system—rob a piece of land and
then let it alone and clear up another piece.
What we take from the soil must of course,
in due time, be returned to it The av
erage crop of an acre of corn is fifteen to
twenty bushels. On soil of uniform qual
ity, manured experimentally, crops
of from seventy-five to one hundred bushels
per acre have been made. A bushel weighs
fifty-five to sixty-five pounds, and is worth
to-day ninety cents to one dollar. Cheese-
makers should not yet come to upper
fl ~'rgia. We have not as yet the requisite
nber of good milch cows to fully supply
cheese manufactory. In other respects
he location would be veiy good, for there
no auch establishment far or near; nev
ertheless whoever desires to eat cheese
must order it from Atlanta, and even that
market is supplied from New York. How
many acres ought a settler to buy? An acre
contains about 40,000 square feet,
and twenty-five, or even twenty
acres, is a pretty piece of land, and require*
work enough for one man to plant corn.
At many places it is not at all necessary to
think of pasturage. The cattle are allowed
to run on neighboring lands. It is advisa
ble to buy woodland along with c eared
1, nd, because then it is not necessary to buy
timber for building purposes, and wood for
fuel.
An acre, cleared up every year, la good
ground for potatoes. Twenty-five acres,
however, on the American idea, is a small
farm. I am a farmer myself, here. I have
farmed in California, and raised sheep, but
I prefer Georgia, because it is not so warm
in California; because we have rains here
tho summer season, and because that pest
California, the Chinese, are unknown
here.
Recently our young colony waa the goal
of a Sunday excursion train from Atlanta.
The excursionists candidly ex prewed their
astonishment at not finding handsome
Swiss chalets, no herds of kine, no Swiss
peasant girls dressed in their national cos
tume, no shees, nor did they hear us sing,
“jodle” and play on the Alp horn. They
all assured us of being well-pleased at all
they saw, but that the pleasure would be
increased if they had found ns living in
regular Swiss houses.
The railway authorities favor our settle
ment in every possible wav. Excursion
trains stop close by, and the passengers
from the city are taken aboard again at the
same place in the evening. They have
given me, without solicitation, a pass
which entitles me to travel over the entire
length of the “Air-Line,” at half price, and
they extend the same courtesy to all set
tlers who settle here In freight we pay,
from New York to Mount Airy, 33 per
cent, below the regular tariff—that is, 33
percent, is returned as soon as the shipper
proves himself to be a settler.
When large number* of guests arrive we
do our best to satisfy their hunger and
thirst, but I have always thought that here
would be the proper place for a hotel. The
climate and everything else, is favorable,
and with small expense a few hundred
acres could be transformed into a park.
Nor is there any lack of beautiful
views, romantic valleys and waterfalls. Of
course there are no mountain lakes such as
Switzerland has, but Americans do not miss
them either. The most beautiful flowers,
such as would grace any conservatory, grow
wild here. When I spoke of a hotel, 1 did
not mean a house for commercial travellers,
but rather what we Swiss call a “kurhaus.”

CANCERS CURED.
Ofllee Governor Brown’s Block. At
lanta. Ga.
Cancers are radically cured by Dr. Moses
A Son, of Virginia, without 'the use of
knife or caustic, with a purely vegetable
compound. Indolent and irritable ulcers,
tumors and wens successfully treated by an
entirely new process. No chloroform or
ether used. Persous are greatly deceived in
[e»rd to the first symptoms of
this most dreadful disease. By
waiting too long carries thousands to an
untimely grave, after weeks and months,
and sometimes years of intense suffering.
To prevent this, if you have a kernel or
lump in the breast, face, or any other part
of the body, have it cured at once and avoid
the terrible consequences. Persons who do
not understand the treatment of cancers
will tell you it is no cancer, to let it alone
it will give you no trouble: but after it is
too late they will tell yon it is a cancer and
they cannot cure you All those afflicted
will please avail themselves of this oppor
tunity at once. Hundreds of cancers can
be seen at our institute on exhibition.
Since our arrival in the city we have several
patients under treatment who are almost
cured.
For the benefit of suffering humanity I
desire to state that Dr. Moses A Son have
relieved me of a cancer under my right eye,
2“ a vegetable plaster in six* days, and
will soon be cured, having been unsuccess
fully treated by several physicians hereto
fore. As an expression of gratitude and an
appreciation foi faithful service kindly ren
dered, as well as to direct those afflicted in
like manner to a successful source for treat
ment I do most cheerfully and heartily
recommend these devoted and skillful phv

THE COTTON MARKET.
Daring the past week the New York cotton
market hss been comparatively steady. Busim
has been good and receipts have been largely
Increased. At times there was considerable
dtement in the market though nothing of very
great importance has taken place. Compared
with one week ago the general market is about
3-lGc higher for the future months, though spots
differ by only l-16e. On Saturday, the 25th, the
market declined, closing steady. On Monday
still lower prices prevailed for future months with
spots unchanged at ll%c. Tuesday was the most
active day in the week and a considerable advance
prevailed which placed the market several points
higher, and at the close a firm feeling was mani
fested for all future months. Spots seem to have
weakened, and a loss of J-fc closed the market at
gradual decline forced the
market down, though the closing figures were
still ahead of Tuesday’s quotations, spots moved
up l-16c. Thursday dosed barely steady, having
declined. Spots off l-16c Friday »mtained a
-harp advance for all future months with a slight
advance in the spot market. To-day tbe market
seems to have weakened, and, with the exception
of spots, the market sustained a general loas.
Net receipts for to-day amount to 30,740 bales;
exports 26,216 bales; stock 5*1,552 bales. -
