the recognized organ of southern
agriculture and the industrial prog

"harmonious whole new theories,
new motives, and new scicntifl

workings an I progress ol that organ

journal for the southern lurmer.

I ft 1 ,iK Iimks: We reached this
l>eautilul little town this morning v<a.
the II. AW. It. It. about 10:30.
Ike first man we met was Rev. L.
Thom-is, who was in the aCt of leav
| mg town (or his home, three miles
out - un( J in the direction of Altman’s
lerrr; he invited us to go out with
| him Methodist and attend meeting the Congregitional Sunday, in his
on
neighborhood. We like these “old
t mo country meetings,” and would
1 have accepted brother Thomas’inVi
lion, but circumstances were »*
I as made it next to an impossibility
for us to do so on .his trip.
Next we met the backbone of the
little village, Mr. W. A. Martin,
the only merchant in town. Mr.
Martin lias a lurge stock of general
merchandise, presided over by Mr.
.J. F. Clayton, who knows bow to
treat his many customers and fri* nd-.
Mr. Martin is also postmaster, ticket
agent, express agent, in tact, is
“Captain, chief-cook, bottle-washer,
and the waiter-,” so you see, we are
not missing it far when we say he is
j the backbone ol the town.
The B A W. Railroad Company
have cleaned up their right-of-way.

and new Walertank WhieJi is kept up

which stands out -.ip m the right-ol
way, on & car length ol iron, and
this car is also substituted lor ft ware
h'use for Hoboken. Mr. C, A. Me
Cardie is the acting ticket agent, and
ia as cleVer a young man as can be;
to meet him is to like him.
Mr* W. P. Nunez, is keeping
