CORRESPONBENGE.
Eprror BANNER:—As this is a
leisure day with me, I will endeav
or, through the medium of the pen
to tell you something of the status
{ of Troup.
This county, if I have been right
ly informed, was, previous to the
war, one of the wealthiest in the
state. The majority of the far
mers were wealthy—many tzf themo
; aves—
O w 5 Wb, readily i
fer were youto see the numerous
“blacks” who are found in every
community.
Atter the war theseé farniers be
gan to employ ‘the negroes to till
their lands ; but not being able to
control them go well as they could
when they had overseers t¢ watch
after them, many lost money and
some failed entirely, they now be
ing the poorest men we have,
Troup, however, is begining to
look upward again. Her farmers,
as a rule, are intelligent, many o
them being well educated, and allg
are progressive, keeping fully B
breast with thé times, and doing
everything possible to advance
their interests.
They have bégun to improve
their lands greatly, and are at the
same time using eVery effort to pre
serve those lands which cannot at
once be improved. They are using
large quantities of commercial fer
tilizers this yeat, Which does not
speak iell for them ; but this I no
tice has ot kept thénd from man
ufacturing imniense quantities of
fertilizers themselves. The farm
ing interests of our state,inmy o
pinion, will never get to what it
should be until our farmers depend
less on commeteial fertilizbtd dnd
more on thogé that can be made at
home. :
Avother thing of vast impor
tance to our Georgia farmers is the
preservation of their lands. They
can certainly never be improved a
great, deal, no matter how much
fertilizeérs are put on them, so long
as no efforts are made to stop the
numeiotus washes made through
them by the heavy rains. Our
Troup farmiers have learned this,
and have bégun to tise a system of
terracing, which has already bede:
sited their lands immensely, al
‘though it is of coinparatively re
gcent introduction. It is much su
‘perior to the hillside ditching which
'is in vogue in some portions of the
country, and I hopé #ll farmers

“UP FOR LIFE.
Omtree. the man who created
a widespread sensetion last spring
by kidnapping small boys at whole.
sale rates was last week sentanced
to the Mississippi penitentiary for
life.
Ogletree first obtained notoriety
by kidnapping Charlie Tilden, a
small news-boy whose home is in
in this city. One evening last July
Ogletree was in Atlanta where he
‘met Charlie, who is a bright little
fellow, whom he induced to go
West End with him to drive a} cow
back to the city. After Ogletree had
passed the city limits Charlie re
fused to go any further, whereupon
Ogletree compelled him. The child
was taken to Ogletree’s home which
was near Dallas, where he rémain
ed closely guarded for several
days. Durlug thie time Ogletree
made the child call him father, and
beat and abused him abott terri
bly. He shaved the hair off the
boys head, cut a mole from his bod
¥y, and put ear rings in his ears. One
day Charlie escaped, and when his
story becauie known in Dallas the
country becanié too Warm for Ogle
tree, and he skipped. His first case
of kidnapping infatuated Oglétree,
and in the course of two months he
stole fully a dozen boys. In SBeptem
ber he stolé a §mall boy in named
White in Alabama. The boy’s fa
ther followed Ogletree until he left
the state for Mississippi. During
the early part of the spring Ogletree
turned up in Neshobd cotinty, Miss.,
when he ouraged an eight-year-old
white child. This time he was capt
ured and last week his trial was
concluded. When he tompletes his
sentence in the penitentiary he will
have probably forgott:n his mana
for kidnapping,
LaGrange and the Railroads.
A call so a iieeting of the citi
zens of this community has been
circulated and immensely signed
by our influential moneyed men,
designing next Tuesday as the day
and the court house a 8 tlie place
to take intc consideration the ac
tion of certain railroad officials who
are about to divert the direction of
the Columbus and Romie road from
that for which is charter was ob
tained, and over which route much
granding has beéen done and much
money expended by our city and
also by variois individuals 6f this
community. The meeting will be
large and enthusiastic. Rome is al
so wide awake on this gubject. You
shall have a full report of the pro
ceedings. Theé railroad situation of
