The people are animated by a spirit of Improvement, and seem to be prosp -rous aud contented.

Our Boyw In Colli'Ke— Laboratory of the Slate ChemlHt—The Experimental Farm—Convention of Ch<-mlita-- Important Improvement* in Cotton Oil Utile—Pergon al* -The Victor* at Macon. Athens. Ga„ April 9th.—l have long been possessed with a desire to vlelt Ath ene but never before has the opportunity presented Itself, and I tlnd Georgia’s uol veielty town, not the sleepy rural village 1 had imagined, but a busy city of eight or ten thousand Inhabitants, with all the ap pliances <:l progress that add to the com torts ot home and convenience of com merce. Water works, telephone ex change, cotton compresses, etc. It le, with all th!s,a typical southern city ot the old regime, its broken surface but adding to the ptotuief que beauty of the homes ot Its citizens, which In tnelr elegance and the taste displayed In their adornment bear the Impress of wealth and culture. By no means the least of the attractions here to me le the state university, in the various departments ot Which I have spent much of my time, and I must con fess that the appliances aud apparatus for the Illustration ot subjects of study and the practical turn given Instruction urea surprise and revelation to me. Your section le represented by Jimmie Gilbert and Rhodes Browne, In the eophmore class, Kle Wynne, Will Williams, and Willie Clark, in the freshman, all from Columbus; and Silas W. DeWolf, ot Chat tahoochee comity, Thomas Williams, ot Hamilton, in the junior; of all ot whom It was gratifying to me to hear the pro fessors speak In the highest terms both as to’heir deportment and progress in stud ies. From my association with "our boys" 1 was brought in contact with a number ot the students and I was Impress ed with the courteous, manly bearing which distinguish their Intercourse with each other, the faculty and the cltizms of Athens. They seem to have a purpose In lite, and are preparing themselves to exe cute it in a manner that will reflect credit on this grand old alma mater, the names ot whose allumul Illuminates the pages 01 Georgia’s history, aud I believe she Is now "dropping the golden graine ot knowledge Into the budding Intellects” of a genera tion ot embryo statesman who will make glorious the lutureof this state. I have had the pleasure of meet ing Professors L. H. Oiiurbonnler, D. C. Barrow, jr.. H. C. Waite and 0. P. Will cox, the latter of whom la the father of Mr. James Willcox and brother oi Mr. D. F. Willcox ot your city. They extended me every courtesy and did I feel equal to the task I would undertake a description of the wonders that open up to a visitor In the apparatus with which the sclentltle de partment le furnished, and which enable the professors to thoroughly Illustrate the course ot etudy. My visit has convinced me that the University of Georgia possess es many advantages over any other simi lar Institution in the south. LABORATORY OF THB STATE CHEMIST. The laboratory oi the state department ot agriculture le located here, In charge ot Prof. H. C. White, state chemist, with Professors James A, Wotton and C. Mor ton Strahan, assistants, aud Is one of the most thoroughly equipped laboratories lu the union. Prof. White Is an eminent scientist, with an experience that few men have an opportunity of acquiring In a life lime. During last year alone he made over 400 analyses in his official capacity for the agricultural department. His as sistants are graduates or the university who i-ore off the honors of their respective classes, so the interest ot the-agrlcultural ists ot Georgia using commercial fertili zers could not be Intrusted to men better qualified to protect them, and samples representing every ton soln in the state are subjected to their analytical bauds. This fact alone pre vents the manufacturer from attempting to Introduce a low grade teitllizer Into Georgia. THE EXPEBIMBNTAL I’.IBM. Yesterday, lu company with Comml— stoner Henderson and Prof. White, I vis ited the experimental farm of the state, which Is located about a mile and a halt from the campus, ft Is In cnarge of Prof. White, who, at the suggestion ot the com missioner, has Inaugurated a number ot experiments this year, the published re sults of which must be of great value to the farmers ot the state. The farm Iles well, and though not fertile, Prof. White thinks It well adapted to the exper. Iments he proposes to make. All the ele ments of plant food will be given a trial singly and In various combinations, and a full amount ot the experiments and their results wilt be given to the annual reports ot the department ot agriculture. convention of ohemists. Commissioner Henderson tells me that he has called a convention ot chemists to meet In Atlanta May 15th, to which the commissioners ot agriculture of the various sou-hern states have been invited. The commissioners md state chemists ot Alabama, Missis sippi, South Carolina aud North Carolina, I believe,have already announced their In tention of attending. The convention will lake Into consideration the best method of making analyses and other questions ot interests to scientific agriculturists. A large attendance Is already assured, and good will doubtless result from its con ferences. IMPOBTANT IMPROVEMENT IN COTTON OIL MILLS. I learned from a reliable source In Atlan ta, the other day, that Dr. Pratt, an emi nent chemist of that city, aud father ot Mr. Pratt, the superintendent of the Co lumbus fertilizer company, has discovered an improvement to be made In cotton seed oil mills, by which the yield or oil is great ly increased, and which also Ino.eases the ammonia In a pound of the meal. It Is said this discovery will work a revolution In tne cotton seed oil business. PBBSONAL. While herel have renewed my acquaint ance with Caps. lulmage, Goodlow Yan cey, E : q., Capt.

This morning I witnessed the practice of hook aud ladder tquad of tne Pioneers, who are preparing tor the Hr,-manic tournament iu Macon next week, and I am led to the belief that they will bear off the first prize. I have never seen their ladder exercise excelled. They make a run and do the ladder exercise as pre scribed by the rules adopted by the Macon tire department In thirty seconds or less time. The tquad Is under com mand of Capt. Talmage, with Henry Bulsse as ladder man. Wherever the Athens tliemen go they go in style. They carry to Macon a magnificent team ot six horses. They are perfect beauties and should be awarded a blue ribbon. De W. -» ♦ • FOR SALE!

Hie al leged victim, lua Childress, a little half witted girl about 11 years of nge, told her story In broken sentences, with tears In her eyes.

It any charges In the county officers at the coming election. There will probably be three formidable candidates lu the field tor the legislature. They are Mr J. T. Hanley, A A Careen.

Mr. Careen, lea brother of Mr. Carson, oi the firm ot Brannon 4 Carson, of this city, and lea popular aud successful young lawyer.

It was a total eclipse, and not a single etar gazer In this section observed It. It occurred rath er too early tor most ot our people. Tne moon entered the penumbra at 2:20a. m., and the eclipse was total at 4: 39 a. m. The following remarks from the astronomical editor of tne St. Louis Republican may be of interest: "There Is generally seme light discernible on the whole fnce of the moon during a total eclipse. The rays ot the sun In passing through the earth’s at mosphere are actually bent toward the moon, and some of them r ach It, even when the earth Is directly interposed be tween her aud tne sun so as to prevent her from seeing any light independent of this infection ot rays. The consequence le that Ui most eclipses the obscured part ot the moon le more or leas faintly visible. Tne moon under a total , eclipse once ob served In Loudon, on Beptembov 2,1830, appeared of a deep blood-red color, even during the period ot the greatest obscura tion. During the last total eclipse seen in St. Louis the moon presented the same appearance at the time of total obscura tion, so that an observer It not aware of an eclipse would imagine that the obscu ration was due to that event. The moon had a rusty, copper-color appearance, ae seen during a hazy atmosphere, and In no wise was It the "silvery orb" of the poet or suggestive of "gre n cheese” to the rustle. Another observation made by astrona mt is is that, although in the course of, say one hundred years, there will be no more eclipses of the sun than of the moon, yet there will be more visible eclipses of the moon th hi of the sun, for the reason that every eclipse of the moon l-i visible over halt the world at once, while an eclipse of the eun Is visible only over a small por tion ot the earth. Therefore, as Bfl>’n from any one, place, there are more eclipses of the. uioou than of lb- sun.” Whooping Cough Syrup for sale at D son’s Drug Store. Price 25e. apll It ♦ .. . Spring Siyles. H. J.

About half past eight the company in full force headed by the '‘celebrated” Grif fin silver cornet baud repaired to tin- Nelms bouse, and at once' he enthuei aemcommenced. Frank Fiynt opened the order ot exercises with a few appropriate remarks, atrerwarde In troducing little "Pet” Smith, a sweet young girl who made the following address to the "Stonewall:” "Gentl''men of Stonewall fire com pany: She should be a happy young lady indeed who hue won such a warm place In your hearts to cause you to honor her as you have me. and I feel moet. grateful to you for this testimonial ot your remembrance. I have always been ae true a little "Stonewall’’ ae any of your members. Your every undertaking in the past has been watched by me with warm est interest and in the future yo«r "pet” will look upon No two as a part of herself, and if you do not want to see a tear dim h> r eyes never carry the "Mattie” to defeat. May your "pet” run over the course ae light as my wieheecanepee:! It. Miy your feet be ae swift as the thougut of love. May your hearts ever beat with joy and gladness and may the victor’s crown always deck your brow.” The handsome reel is named on one side "Mattie” and on the other "Our Pet.” Little "Pet Smith” is about ten or twelve years of age, and has always been the favorite of every one whom she met. She is pretty, facinating and in short, the "pet” of the whole brigade. Speeches were made by R. T. Daniel, W. 0. Beeks, Frank Fiynt aud Foreman T. D. Rockwell. llarri» County Nnwa. Chipley Leader.

Parties living several miles from town come here and find their cows or calves in the pound. It is a source ot severe an noyance as well ae expense to the owners. Can’t the town council rem edy the matter in some way ? We had some frost in thie section Thursday morning, though not enough to do much damage to the fruit or vegetables. The street car recently put in oper ation in Columbus is quite a gem. The line traverses Broad street and also through the prettiest portion of the town. It gives Columbus quite a city air, and furnishes additional at traction to the fair Queen of the Ohat tahooche. A four year old negro child was burned to death last w >ek, on C. W. Hines’ place. Mr. T. H. Kimbrough has recently purchased three fine Jerseys, which sets him back something over two hundred dollars. Tha surveyors hive finished the upper line to Greenville and will at once finish the lower line from Trin ity to Greenville and submit the two surveys to the authorities of the road. It is not known positively now what route the road will take, but many think the upper route the more de sirable because it will cost less. Sulphur Springs has daily mail. There was a man on the streets this week who wanted two divorces—one for himself and the other for his wife. The east winds have evidently done serious damage in that house. Mr. Robert Davis, having sold out hie stock of goods will soon move to Columbus to enter the shoe business. We regret to lose him as a merchant and as a citizen and trust that he may succeed in his new field ot work. * ♦- * An Unnatural Gift. Hun'smile, Ala,, Independent, Last Friday night, a very short while after the 2 p. m. train from Chattanooga passed Huntsville, some one rang the bell of Mrs. Lloyd’s boarding house this Bide of the de pot. When the party responded to the call, there was no one at the door and the person who went to the door saw a bundle of something. It was supposed that the person ringing the bell had forgotten something and gone back for it. Accordingly the bundle was picked up and carried inside when io and behold I a strange cry was heard from tne midst of the pile of clothing, covering, etc. Thus a bouncing baby boy was discovered. Pinned across the breast ot bundle of flesh, clothing and so on was the fol lowing: ‘‘Please carry this child to the Presbyterian minister’s home.” Within the strange collection was the following note: “Rsv. Mr. and Mrs. Kind Friends—l leave my babe iu your charge, because you are Obrie tians, and if it’s not convenient for you to keep him, please get him a home with some kind lady of your church. I am not able to support him and myself and may not live. If I don’t reclaim him in eix months you know I was never able to do so, Browneville aud Girard. From the Free Frets. Miss Sallis Maloy, of Browneville, died on Thursday last of consump tion. Thus passes away a faithful and humble Christian. We hear of many persons In the surrounding country who propose moving to Girard to enjoy the bene fits of the Peabcdy school. Died, at his residence in Girard, on Thursday morning, April 10th, after a lingering illness, Joseph L, Mar tin, in the 34th year of his age. There is a movement on foot to or* ganize a building aud loan associa tion in our town. Untold advantages will be derived from an organization of this character, and we hope soon to see it in full blast. Mr. Thomas Hart, one of the pio neer citizens of Chambers, and later of Lse county, who about a year ago moved to Texas, was one day last week called out of his house, shot three times and killed by a Texas cowboy. His wife, so a dispatch states, also died soon after the death of her husband. Most likely Mrs. H.’s death was caused by grief. It will be remembered that a son—and a noble one, too, Mr. H. D. Hart— was, ’not long since, murdered by young Abercrombie. Truly this is a sorrowful series ot calamities to a good and worthy family. 1 • HOMICIBE IN ( H ITGHOIK HKK Mr Bob Wr'ght Shoots find Kill* m Negro flaiuufl Jou* h Alesandor. Yesterday news reached the city that Mr. Bob Wright, a son of Mr. J. W.

Kiiortly afterwards the negro came upon the scene and demanded to know what had become ot the mule Mr. John Wright told him that he had turned It In the pasture, whereupon the negro made some Insolent remark, the re sult of which was blows between litmsell and Mr. Wright. The negro had a piece of rail, and was making a savage assault upon Mr. W i Ight when Mr. Bob Wright came up and snot him In the brent. He died from the effects ot the wound In a short time. The negro bore a bud character, and bad ti eq tent difficulties wltu other hands on the larm. Mr. W right Is a young man well known In this city.
