HORTICULTURAL NOTES.
Poverty Id the Midst of Plenty.
• T was born and reared twelve miles
from any city, but away out there in the
country mother had as nice a flower yard
as any I ever saw. It is a great pleasure
far me to think of these flowers, though
thirty years have past since I left my old
country home. I may be wrong, but I
believe these flowers had influenee on
my young life. Certainly they added to
my taste and culture, ana for all I know,
softened the sensibilities of my nature,
, and heightened my love for the pure, the
beautiful and the good. Sometimes I
visit well-to-do homes that have no flow
ers; they look rough and uninviting. I
feel as though they were poor in the
midst of plenty. 1 know some say they
haven’t time to work with flowers; but I
never believe them. A few flowers can
be attended to as a recreation. How long
will it take to plant a vine to climb up
over the doorway or plant a bed of annu
als? The cedar and arbor vitae grow any
where, and the rose, the queen of all, can
add a perfume to homes that makes it
sweet indeed. If you have no flowers
quit beiug so poor. Go, and if you can
do no better, transplant some flowers of
the woods, and make home attractive
and baautiful and impress your children
with these influences of true culture. A
farmer is apt to give up and appear hag
gard, when in truth he ought to have a
fl»wer ou the lappel of his coat and be
happy.
Grapes the Past Season.
Considering the unusual amount of
rain throughout June and July, and the
almost constant hot and humid atmos
phere, strange to tell our grape crop was
little damaged by rot and mildew.
moore’s early
has fruited with me live seasons and has
been thus far free of rot. It is large in
berry, quite as large as the Worden;
much better in quality than the Concord,
and has always sold for more in market
than any early grape I have. It is, how
ever, a shy bearer. This can be over
come to a great extent by long pruning
and high feeding. Bone meal and ashes
I have found to be the best feed.
IVES SEEDLING
hfis fruited with me about ten years and
has been, during that time, practically
exempt from rot c r other diseases, strong
in growth and very productive. This is
sill can say in its favor. Its quality is
so miserably poor that the half dozen or
so vines of it left will be treated next
spring as I have been doing them for
two springs past—that is sawed off a
little below the surface of the ground
and grafted with something good to eat.
r HARTFORD PROLIFjfu,
too, has been ' lot'll long time,
but it will have to go with the Ives be
cause of its poor quality and its drop iiLg
and shelling proclivities.
CONCORD
is an old friend of over twenty years
standing. It is a favorite with many. A
reliable bearer and good grower almost
everywhere. I shall part with it some
what reluctantly. But it will have to ge
because it is losing its grip on the market,
and always had a nack with me of ap
propriating more than a full share of
rot when there was any around. Besides,
I have determined for the future to grow
no grape that is not better in quality
than the Concord, no matter how many
good points it may have.
WORDEN
behaved about as usual—a heavy crop
with but little rot. It liafi a tendency to
over-bear, in which case the fruit does
»ot ripen evenly. In hardiness, growth
and fruit it is similar to Concord, but
larger in hunch and berry, of better
quality and ripening, perhaps, a little in
advance of it. Next to Moore’s Early it
is the most profitable black grape I have
grown thus far. The
DELAWARE
is popular and has always been relished
by many, and while small in bunch and
medium in berry, is yet a profitable
market variety. To grow it successfully
one must “learn to labor and to wait.”
It has fruited with me only three seasons
and has been free from rot and other ills.
Next spring I think I will try the experi
ment of grafting it on the roots of our
wild summer grapes to induce stronger
and more rapid growth.
CATAWBA
has fruited with me sparingly for two
seasons. I like its peculiar flavor, and
. hope to be able to say more in its favor
after awhile.
DIANA
has been with me a long time—nearly
twenty years, and during all this while I
cannot recall but one crop of perfect fruit
All the others were mildewed, cracked
and worthless. I have but one vine left
and it shall be grafted to something else,
as the others have been.
TELEGRAPH
ripened a few bunches past season for
first time with me. Sweet, juicy and
good. No rot. Bunches medium, but
very compact. It ,is early and I think
will prove a good market grape. And
now last, but by no means least, in my list
of Labruscas in bearing comes
BRIGHTON,
my favorite of them all. It has fruited
with Ae five seasous and I regret to say
sometimes rots. It rotted slightly last
season. Bunches medium to large, with
large reddish berries, juicy, sweet and
good. I have only two vines in bearing.
Have never sold any—think they would
be a little tender tor a long shipment,but
for eating I know of but few grapes that I
like better. Vi#e vigorous and a good
bearer. Os
HYBRID VARIETIES,
Agawam, Black Eagle, Duchess, Eldora
do, Goethe, Highland, Jefferson, Massa
soit, Merrimac,Salem, Triumph and Yer
genues, bore first with me pass season.
Will! «vai of another season
before discussing them. One word for
Triumph. It is largo in bunch and berry
and good enough for anybody—one can
eat it continuously without fatigue.

Harry Jones, Narooochee, Ga.—Dear
Cousin Dowdell, I thought I would write
as some of the other boys and girls are
writing. I have a pair of billy goats and
an express wagou aud I have a good
time. The other day they ran away with
me and threw me out of the wagon and
hurt my leg, but it is about well now.
I am eight years old and go to school and
am in the fifth grade. I do not like to go
to school a bit. I had rather play with
my billy goats. I will have to close. I
will tell you more in my next letter.
James Spence, Juniper, Ga.—Dear
Cousin Dowdell, I will write you a short
letter as I see the little cousins from va
rious points have written a lot of nice
and interesting letters.
I’m in my teens but haven’t been in
them very long. I’m a boy who has been
reareji and tarred -to .assist and aid my
household work. Boys
°X sot possibly realize the fact how val
uable and indispensable they can render
themselves to their mothers until they
have once determined to do so. I have
learned to cook real well, and you can’t
imagine how much I appreciate it. I
have also that peculiar knowledge of
sweeping the rooms aud making up the
beds to the satisfaction of the fair sox.
This I found to bo the most peculiar feat
ure of household life; I mean their way
«f having it done. If I remember cor
rectly, which I feel certain I do, the first
bed I undertook to make up I was at it
at least an hour. Every time I would
thiuk I had finished, mother would in
stantly discover a serious defect and gen
erally say:son,you are not near through,
just look there bow crank-sided the
pillows are, and look! just see here at
the wrinkles, as she bsnt over and care
fully removed them, but notwithstand
ing all of their peculiar ways, (I say
theirs because I know they are all alike)
I appreciate the fact very much in teed,
that 1 can now realize that I’m of so
much use to my mother. Boys, I kindly
advise you to make yourselves as useful
about the house as possible and I assure
you that yeu will never afterwards re
gret it.
1 happened to be glancing over a news
paper in mother’s presence a few days
ago aud heard her remark that she had
an abundance of work that must be fin
ished at once. I immediately dropped
my paper and repliod: “Mother, I will re
lieve you of a part of it, and asked what
kind of work it was. She replied pan
taloons.”
“Weil, says I, “I can do that.” So she
handed me a threaded needle and a pair
of breeches already cut, and told me to
proceed. And I did proceed. The first
step took was a very painful one, indeed.
I stuck the miserable needle through
two of my fingers, and from that time
until now I thought I had won the vic
tory which was nearly two weeks I
sewed, and stuck; and stuck and sewed.
Just as I finished bathing my hands in
spirits of turpentine, mother made her
appearance and began to laugh seemingly
with more pleasure than I had ever seen
her laugh before. As a matter of course,
I began to feel a good deal more unpleas
ant, but managed to ask if she had dis
covered anything wrong about my
creation. She replied that she had dis
covered that every piece sewed together
was exactly backwards and exactly in
the wrong place, but I will fix them. She
said soothingly: “Don’t feel discouraged,’
aud sho tore them apart and sewed them
up three times before they looked any
ways like pantaloons. I will undertake
the job again when my fingers will per
mit.
A. T. J., Hapeville, Ga. —Dear Cousin
Dow: I am glad that the Southern Al
liance Farmer has begun aLittlo Folks
Department. lam 10 years old, and am
going to school. All of the boys around
here went to the Piedmont Exposition
and caught the cow-boy fever. We play
Wild West, and have more fun! One of
the boys would bo horse thief and would
run off, and the rest would run after him,
lasso him, and hang him around the
waist to a tree. Some of the boys have
become quite expert in lassoing. I will
have to stop, as I am not much at writing.
Good-bye for the present.
“Alligator Jim,” Fort Fanniu, Fla.—
Dear Editor: I am glad to learn that you
have begun a Boys and Girls’ Department
i* your paper. I will try and write you
a letter every now ans thou aud tell your
Georgia biys something about my part of
Florida. lam 14 years old, and live at
Ft. Fannin, a cosy little settlement situ
ated on aliigli bluff overlooking the beau
tiful Suwanee river. Th# banks of the
river are very heavily timbered with live
oaks, large cypress and hickories for
about one-half mile inland, then the fiat
woods begin, which are made up of scat
tered pines, turkey-oaks and ssrub pal
metto. There is a pretty spring here,
called Ft. Fannin Spring, which empties
into the river about 200 yards from its
sourco. It is about 75 feet wide, and the
water looks like it is boiling in the mid
dle, the (low is so strong. It is 40 feet
deep, yet so clear that you can see a dime
sink to tlio bottom, and when the sun is
shining every color of the rainbow is re
produced in the water. It is a limestone
spring, and has the appearance of being
only a few feet deep in the deepest places.
The first time 1 went bathing in it, which
was before 1 had learned how to swim
much, I came near being drowned I
dived in head foremost and swam out a
little ways, and as I was tired aud it
seemed only about three foot to the bot
tom, I starUd to “letdown’’ to rest.
Before I toushed bottom, however, 1 had
gone far beyond my depth, and as I was
already tired, it was all 1 could do to get
my head above water again. I was so sur
prised that I became very badlv strangled,
and by the time I reached the hank I was
about “ done for.”
Now, Mr. Editor, if this does not find
its way to the waste basket, 1 will try
and write again sometime.
W. H. T., Grifiiu, Ga.—Dear Cousin
Dowdell: I call you cousin because "Sny
father and your father are brother Alli
aneemen, therefore you and I arc little
Alliance cousins. 1 are a boy 12 years
old and live abont one mile and a half
from Griffin. Your last paper had a
letter from Katie Smith, who said that
girls were always better than boys, but I
can’t agree with her there. 1 wouldn’t
be surprised if some of the very girls that
laughed at that little boy that got whip
ped deserved the whipping he got. The
girls do a heap of mischief, hut don’ SlAk.,
caught up with. They are rcjgulaj niaNa
believers. I went hunting last Saturday
and killed two rabbits, one dove, and two
squirrels. I have one of the best squir
rel dogs yon ever saw, named Jip. Papa
is going to give me a nice new breech
loader for my Christmas present, and
then I will write you a letter and tell
you of the great things I am going to do
with it. What are the cousius going to
do Christmas anyhow? Besides having
a big time generally, I am going tc take
a big hunt with papa and camp out a day
or two. Good-bye for the present.
John C. Walters, Tallapoosa, Ga.—
Dear Cousin Dowdell: I thought I would
write a few lines to the little folks cor
ner. Ido not know what to say, but 1
thought I would ask the little farmer
boys and farmer girls what they are go
ing to do with themselves Christmas, and
whether they are going hunting much
this fall. The year is drawing to a close
and it is good hunting time now. 'Papa,
my brother and myself are going hunting
Christmas and all of us have guns aud we
are going to stay two or three days and
kill a lots of game.
lam going to school now and am in
the sixth grade and we have a very nice
teacher. Ido not like to go to school a
bit; 1 had much rather go hunting than
to be at school studying hard lessons all
day and perhaps stay in longer if the
teacher caught me talking or laughing.
Four boys got a whipping to-day for
laughing in school and one got one yes
terday for the same thing. You hardly
ever hear of a girl being whippod; the
teacher says they are better than boys,
but they cut up five times worse and
don’t know their lessons any better. I
.would not like to be one if the boys do
have the hardest lot. I will have to close
now because I am so sleepy.
Many have an idea that they are serv
ing the Lord when they are meddling
with what is none of their business.
John I)., Thomasville, Ga.——Dear
Cousin: As you are an editor, and editors
ore expected to know some things, 1
write for some information. Why is it
that some girls, aud grown up ladies, too,
are so rude to each other, and especially
to those ladies who do not happen to be
well dressed. I was on a crowded car
the other day, and I saw a girl occupy a
seat with a large band-box by her side.
Soon after I noticed this girl occupying
the seat in this way, a poor old woman
got on the car and walked up and down
the aisle looking for a seat. The girl
would not put her box on the floor aud
allow the old lady to sit by her, but a
gentleman gave the old lady his seat and
stood up all the way to Atlanta. We see
this rudeness every time we get on the
train. Can you tell mo why?
—ltudeness is bad in anybody, no mat
ter by whom committed. Certainly that
girl was badly raised. [Ed.
When a man’s temper gets the best of
him it revoals the worst of him.
j It will be very interesting to know
what the boys and girls are going to do
with themselves Christmas. Every boy
and every girl has some idea of how they
want to spend their Xmas. Some of the
boys want to go hunting, some of them
want to go home from school, to ste
their friends and loved ones, others are
looking forward to the display of fire
works at night aud the big Christmas
dinners, whilelthe more sentimental boys
aud girls are looking forward to the par
ties and Xmas gatherings they will have.
Let us hear from you all on this sub
ject. Tell us what you intend to do;
what will give you more pleasure Xmas,
and above all things what you would like
for Santa Claus to bring you. We don’t
have any idea that ho is going to bring
to bring you everything you want, be
cause we might want something that we
ought uot tojliave but we hope that we will
have what is best for us. But, now boys
and girls, remember that while we are
seeking our own pleasure aud hoping to
have a merry Xmas, it will he very wise
for us to begin now and prepare some
thing for our poor neighbors who are
not able to have all the good things of
life. Everyono has some neighbor or
friend who is very poor, and during the
winter season we can add much -com
fort and pleasure without depriving‘our
selves to any great extent. The greatest
pleasure that any one finds in life is the
satisfaction of knowing that they have
made life some pleasure for some one
else—the boy or the girl who can add .
one;moment of pleasure to the life of
some struggling homes. While the
sunshine of God’s blessings makes our
own lives happy and pleasant, let us try
and turn some of that sunshine into the
lives of others. This will be the best
way for us to secure for ourselves a
happy Xmas..
Amusing the King.
Youths* Companion.
One would thiqk it odd, t® say the
least, if, on visiting the court of a civil
ized country, he were called upon to
show his proficiency in swimming as a
method of proving his desirability aa a
guest; yet such was the experience of a
missionary to Africa, who tells his story
in “Two Kings of Uganda.”
Swimming is a very rare accomplish
ment in Buganda. One day, when I had
obtained audience with King Mwanga,
he asked me eagerly, “Can you swim?”
“Yes,” I replied, “a little.”
“Will you swim iu my pond?” he con
tinued.
“I should be most happy.”
“When will you do it?”
“Whenever you wish.”
“Will you come now?” ho asked, with
interest.
“Is it not too late?”
“All, yon will not come now!” lie re
peated, iu a disappointed tone.
“Yes, now, if you like,” I said.
So up got the king, stepped from his
throne, took me by the hand and led
me out, followed by a crowd of pages,
and we made our way to the pond. It
was rather muddy, but I took off my
clothes and, pluuging into the water,
swam about to the king’s great satisfac.
tion and delight. He had evidently
doubted my proficiency in so great an
art, and when he found that 1 was no
deceiver his respect for me was un
bounded.

GRIFFIN. GEORGIA.
Griffin is a growing, promising place,
situate 40 miles south of Atlanta on the
healthiest ridge in the state. It is noted
as a manufacturing place and as a fruit
and farm center. It has two large cotton
factories, a broom factory, iron and brass
foundry, an oil mill, a guano factory,
large ginnery, au ice factory, sash and
blind factory, fruit evaporator, a large
grist mill and a planing mill with other
manufacturing interests in contempla
tion. Its fields are covered with fruits
and vines, and handsome fortunes have
been made in fruits alone the present
year. This is but one of the few places
in the state where fruit is shipped in re
frigerator cars. The counties contigu
ous are rich in agricultural productions
of all kinds.
It has railroad lines connecting it with
all sections of the state, and others in
contemplation. It was recently selected
as the proper place to establish the ex
perimental farm and station of Georgia,
after ar. examination of all the eligible
sections of the state. Parties desiring to
move to this section should address the
Farmers’ Co-operative Manufacturing
company, Griffin, Ga.
