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 will try iti ey \ . Pryor W.

The wagon réads in Tennesee and O hio aré graded and covered with smal rocks; which make a firm road. The Ohlo river at Cincinnati wasup a. litte. Many houses had, , been’ washed awdy along this river duting the. recent flood. I left Cincinnati March the 18th.

Nebraskas : ‘ “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 LaGrange will be discussed in gen eral. BLEW HIS BRAINS OUT. A desperate negro named Abe Hill was killed on Major R. M. Willis’s; plantation in this county yesterday by another negro named Jake Brad ford. Abe had whipped his wife and she ran off to] Jakes's ‘house. He ‘then followed his wife, and enter ing Jake’s house raiseci a difficulty. with him. He attacked Jake with an ax when the latter took his shot-! gun ‘and blew Abe’s brains out!
