Walton County Vidette: Colonel Wylie
JStMb, of burn-medicine fame, ha* made a
corner on juga and sent them up with a
boom. Mr. Ituah has contracted with the
five factories above Athens to take every
piece of ware they make for the next five
years. As there are very few jug factories
i? beside these under control of
Mr li, be baa a monopoly of the business
aod atonce jumped up prices 100 per cent,
lie ia perfecting arrangements to ship them
all over Georgia and Carolina, and is build-
ing up a business that will pay him about
$1,000 per month, clear of expenses
These jug-makers. for the la>t
CO years, have been the worst imposed upon
people in tbe world. They are poor devils,
who had to cart their goods over a limited
territory and trade them out with mer
chants at five and six cents a gallon. In
Thomasvilie the same good* brought fifty
cents. Mr. Bush pays them a fair cash
price fur all their ware, to be delivered in
Athens, and he then reship* it all over the
country by the car load. There is now
quite a boom in this business, and many
new factories are about starring up. It
coat# $300 to atari a first-class jug factorv,
and an expert hand can make 150 gallons
and command $2 per day. The glazing is
now done with ashes instead of lead.

The Barbour county circuit court is being

here next week. I don’t think there will

nature are being committed in our county.
The whites and colored are as near law-
abiding as it ia possible lor them to be.
. Milledgkyillc, May 7 —Crop prospects
in Baldwin poor—wheat badly rusted.
The great social event of the week wasa pic
nic at McComb’d place. ML Nebo,yesterday.
The place is graced with the fine country
mansion, built by Governor David Brady
Mitchell in 1820. No repairs have been
done on the buildings for sixty years, yet
everything ia in a perfect state of preserva
tion. The same gates, put up at tbe time of
tbe building, still swing sound and strong
on their binge*. With dancing, a plenty of
good eating, and friendly chat, tbe young
ones spent a delightful day. The follow
ing is on tapis to-night: Greate concert e To
be attended at \e akewl bouse in ye town of
Milled^eville, for buying ye new fangled

Palmetto, May 7.—During the joviality
and amusements of the May day festival a
>ad occurrence, though accidental, hap
pened, which marred, to some extent, the
enjoyment of the evening. An old. inof
fensive man, Mr. Jack Turbefield, was shot
while undertaking to separate his son-in-
law mnd another man who were shooting at
each other. We have had much rain, and
the farmers were discouraged, but their
faces wear a more happy expression
now. All are hard at work and
anticipate an average yield of produce, ex
cept wheat—that, we learn, has the rust
from bottom to top, and not much expected
from the crop. A negro undertook to
jump from an excursion train and broke
'ri* back-bone. Me is in a Critical .condi-

Company It—Captain O. M. Houser. Fort

misunderstanding as to what constituted
the "manual of arms," probably caused
her to lose the banner. Suffice it to
say both companies acquitted themselves
with honor, and "A" should indeed feel
proud, since she has outstripped such a
competitor as**B."

Macon, May 5.—On Wednesday morning
the most interesting part of the proceedings
of the Georgia teachers’ ftsboctalmn con
sisted of the paper o.r "Written Work in
Schools,” by Miss Laura Hayeood. of the
Girl*’ hieh school, A: lannt. Miss H. is
one of the most prominent among the lady
teachers of Georgia, and wa* accorded, at
once, fixed and respectful attention. Her
p'easant voice and refined manners sug
gested a woman whose personal association
would be as valuable to pupils as her schol
arship and professional skill. It was a very
practical paper on a subject on which she
large experience, and it is considered
by those qualified to judge one of the best
ever read before the G.-orpin teachers’ asso
ciation. In the beginning, she paid a
charming tribute to an old teacher. Dr.
Bonnel, father of Professor Bonnel, of
Atlanta, who wax, Mi« Haygood thought,
the first to introduce written work in Geor
gia schools. This was in 1863. Dr. Orr at
the close, rose to say that Dr. McCoy, broth
er of Judge McCoy, bad adonted written
examinations at Athens so early as 1841.
Dr. Orr also paid a tribute to Dr. John M.
Bonnel. Miss Haygood made some very
important suggestions for obviating some
of the objections to frequent examinations.
There wasa general call for the printing of
hef P*?® r Wednesday was the day ap
pointed for the Union Snnday-school cel* ~
bration in Macon. The citizen’s sent the
teachers an invitation to take dinner at
their beautiful park which was in all the
glory of its spring beauty. In the afternoon
a good deal of interest was excited by an
account of the phonic method of teach-
mg reading, which was given by
Professor Howard, who was present with a
class of little ones to illustrate his subject.

ABNORMAL TURKEYS.
Perry Home Journal.
A brood of sixteen turkeys were batched
in the poultry yard of Mrs. W. L. Rainey oil
last Thursday. Two of these youug turkevs
are white and have four legs each. In each
case the extra legs are parallel with, and
just inside the other pair. Though thus
f irovided with double the number of usual
egs, these young fowls are unable to walk,
hut are carefully kept in a basket and fed
by Mrs. Rainey. Beyond the fact that they
are unable to walk, these abnormal turkeys
seem to be perfectly healthy.

Short Tobacco Crop.
Peter*man. Va., May 6—Intelligence
from different sections of the state report
greater scarcity in the tobacco crop than has
been known for a number of years; those
growing being rapidly destroyed by tbe to
bacco fly. The farmers are so discouraged
that in many instances ground prepared for
tolacco is being planted with corn and twos.
It is thought not more than one-fourth tbe
usual crop of tobacco will be made this
year.

diced people. These gentlemen are sound
and solid ia iheir views on religious sub

our people. I think it would be a good
idea tor our ministers to adopt tbisplsn;
that ia preach iuore*gos|’el and less doctrine.

GET KNOWLEDGE.
Tt Isas necessaay for a farmer to improve
and grow in his calling or business as any
other man at any other business. Each
well established fact in agriculture, wbeth
er gained from books, magazines, papers or
otherwise, adds to the fanner’s stock of
scientific knowledge, or prepare the way
for greater skill in the art. Agricultural
literature continues to expand and improve.
Sometimes the writer is langhed at by the
farmer way ofTon his land. Now, farmer,
do not laugh, but go to work and
utilize what we write about If tbe farmer
will take agricultural paper* and books he
will learn the results of hundreds of experi
ments with manures and their application,
artificial fertilizers, general farm crops,
garden vegetables and special crops. Now
farmer, read these things; adopt such sys
tems of culture as your rule of practice,
after making such changes as different cir
cumstances, seem to demand. Make other
people’s knowledge your own as far as pos
sible and Jet us know the result of your ex
perience.
FLOWERS.
—We are gratified at learning flower cul
ture is growing all over the state. What
can cause tbe heart to beat more calmly, or
life to flow more purely, than an association
with flowers?
—There are now two hundred varieties rtf
fuschias, ninety of petunias, one hundred
and fifty of phloxes, three hundred of be
gonias, five hundred of dahlias, aud several
hundred of choice carnation* and pinks.
Of roses there are over three hundred vari
eties.
—Fuschias are either double or single.
Faschias, with broadly open, saucer-shaped
corollas, are the most brilliant and satisfac
tory to grow.
—Iron filing* or nails and wood ashes
make good fertilizers for flowers; they give
a decided brilliancy to the color of both
foliage and blossoms.
—For- tube-roses—^pade the ‘soil deep.
Nrith a pleutitul proportion of w3l decayed
manure. Plant the bulblets between two
and three inches deen and far enough apart
to leave room for weeding. To do well it
must he kept warm and the soil must not
be allowed to get dry and powdery.
—The portulaca loves a light, rich loam,
will sow itself and come up year after year,
givioga profusion of bloom all the season
long.
—Always cut flowers with a sharp knife
or scissors and early in the morning or at
evening. Keep them well sprinkled, if
possible add fresh water; if in a vase, every
dav and better warm than cold, and put in
a little salt. Set the bouquet at night on
the floor of a cool room or cellar.
—Roses can be budded on any strong
ground, aud half a dozen dillereut colors
and kinds of ruses cau be grown on one
bush.
—Another plan to preserve cut flowers:
Put a little nitrate of soda into the water
where cut flowers are placed, and their
freshness will be preserved twice as long.
—An inquirer asks us about roses. Saf-
frano is a (awn, shaded with pink, and is a
most perfect beauty. So, too, is Sombreuil,
a cream color, blushed with pink. But of
all the tea roses Marshul Neil bears the
palm.
FOOT-ROT IN SHEEP.
A solution of blue vitriol as strong as can
be made and as hot a* you can bear your
hand in, even for u moment, having the
liquid three or fout inches deep, or deep
enough to coverall tlieatlected parts; then
hold the diseased 1 x>t in this liquid ten
minutes, or long enough to penetrate to all
the diseased parts; put the sheep oti a dry
barn floor for twenty hours, to give it a
chance to take effect.
THE ORCHARD.
We hope this summer some of our fruit
growers will try permitting hogs to clear
up the refuse fruits in their orchards, seeing
what a number of insects are destroyed.
When the rains are over it is a good plan to
scrape the trunks of trees clean of fringe
and mosses, and wash them with strong
lye, made from wood ashes, applied with a
brush. This destroys insects, and is in
more easily penetrated by the warm air and
can absorb tne dews ana gentle rains and
gives opportunity for tender roots to stretch
out in search of food.
—To kill lice on animals—Melt'nog’s
lard, and in it dissolve salt one third of the
hulk of the grease; take as much grease as
will be required to smear the animal all
over, and into the mixture pour kerosene
oil and stir it up. Two gills of this is suffi
cient for a cow of ordinary size. It leave*
the skin smooth and clean. Also excellent
for galls and sores.
Early Oats.
^)n yesterday we received 'from Captain
Thom** Swanson, of Cowikee, Barbour
county, Alabama, a beautiful specimen of
thoroughly cured oats, which came from a
a field sown by him 12th day of December,
1879, and reaped on the 15th day of April,
1880, and were fully ripe when cut. They
are known as the "Hill oat." Captain
Swanson grew these oats on thin land fer
tilized with cotton seed.

A GOOD TALE
In Wblcb an Old Gentleman Brings a
btarcbj Young Burk to Terms.
We have a good tale from Rutledge, Ga.
Captain Jack Williams.who is a quiet well-
to-do merchant, with an iron nerve, not
afraid of anything, had occasion not long
since to &ue one of his customers, a young
man, who when sober was the equal of Cap
tain Williams in every respect, but when
drinking, a desiderate man. The day this
man was served with the summons, he was
in town and drinking. He took the paper
over to Captain Williams’s store, called for
him and flipped out a very dhagreeable
looking knife about four inches loti?. Just
as Williams walked up to where
he was standing. The young man held our
the paper(1 he summous) to Williams, and
said, "Did you sue me, Mr. Williams?” at

THE COTTON MARKET.
CONSTITUTION OFFICE,
Atlanta. May 8, 1880.
New York—The cotton market during the past
week has beeu remaikably qui**t and dull, and
fluctuations have been of such a nature as to offer
no especial inducements to speculators. It is
hardly probable, however, that such unusual
steadiness will prevail much longer, and there
are many who predict active fluctuations soon to
follow. Tho highest and lowest prices of the
week show a variation of only 20 to 25 points for
the months, while for spot* a fluctuation of only
MGc is all that can be reported. At the close to
day futures were quiet with the tone of the mar
ket indicating lower prices. Spot*—Middlings
11 13-lCc. Net receipts for the week ending last
night amount to 26,050 bales, against 31,403 bales
lost week aud against 20,( 50 bides for the corres
ponding week last year; exports for the week
73,771 bales; net receipts to-day 4.366 bales; ex
ports 17,241 bales: stock 556,2-2 bales; sales to-day
for future delivery 64.0U0 bales.
