Navigation of the Oconee Eiver.
By invitation Lieut. Carter of the
U. 8. Engineer Corps, arrived in this
city on Saturday morning last, to con
fer with the people of Baldwin in re
gard to opening the Oconee river to
navigation. H e was met at the depot
by a committee composed of Messrs,
R. N. Lamar, 8. Barrett and Geo. D.
Case.

Commencement passed off very
peacefully and pleasantly. If there

meeting of citizens was held at the
Court House. Lieut. Carter was in
troduced to the meeting by Mr. La
mar. Lieut. Carter has made a thor
ough survey of the Oconee river. So
far as the depth of water is concerned
the Oconee is deeper than the Ocmol-
gee, affording three feet of water dur
ing low water season of summer. The
greatest difficulty of navigation be
tween this city and the Central rail
road bridge is a raft, lying 26 miles
below the city. The estimated cost of
removing this raft 1b $9,000. The oth
er obstructions are overhanging'trees
and logs which are readily removed
by his snag-boat. This snag-boat is
prevented from coming up the river
by the Central railroad bridge. The
River and Harbor bill requires the re
moval of such bridges where it is
shown that they obstruct navigation
which will /Inna nn » nmno.

The third quarterly c
lurch in this
w*»« uo uuuc uu a |ir
showing to the Secretary of War.
In view of the facts collected, the
Oconee river is considered worthy cf
improvement from Milledgeville to its
mouth, with a view to obtaining a
navigable channel 3 feet in depth at
ordinary summer low water. Tho es
timated cost is $171,000.
Lient. Carter wanted information in
regard to the amount of commerce
that would be developed by the open
ing of the river to navigation. He
stated that work on the river would
be commenced as soon as the appro
priation was made.
On motion of Mr. Hatch Turner the
Board of Trade of this city was re
quested to petition the Secretary of
War in regard to the Central Rail
road bridge, and the Presidents of the
Alliances of counties lyingon the river
requested to furnish information de
sired by Lieut. Carter.
The following resolution offered by
_ __ conference of
he*M. E ehurch in this city will be
ield next Saturday night, at the par
sonage. The presiding elder, Rev. W.
->. Lovejoy, will be present and will
ih next Sohday.

Alliance men in town Saturday. They

Where peas have not been drilled
with the corn, farmers would do well
to sow them broadcast at the last
plowing of the corn. We have seen

and were no peas to be made the land
would be benefit!ed.
If there was any sickness here dur

hear of it. The doctors all seemed to

they! Dootors don’t want people to

they nurse them.
