THE COLUMBIA SENTINEL
THE VALENTINE PARTY-
The annual gathering to commem
orate St. Valentine’s Day, took place
at the residence of Mr. G. M. Reed,
on Monday night last The weather
was very unpropitious and at one time
during the afternoon pointed towards
postponement as an absolute result,
but later on appearances became more
favorable and the young people de
cided to meet the issue bravely and
carry out the programme, which was
done very successfully and with great
credit. The bad weather detered
quite a number from attending, there
fore the attendance was comparative
ly small, but none the less enjoyable.
All seemed to exert themselves to the
fullest extent to have a good time,
and were we called upon to make up
a verdict, it would be as follows: they
succeeded admirably. The post office
was elaborately and tastefully arrang
ed, making it a perfect “little gem,’’
just such a place as cupid would
naturally select from which to dis
<barge his darts, reflecting credit and
brought forth pleasant criticisms from
the entire party. The writer was by
unanimous consent chosen Postmas
ter, ably assisted by two lovely and
accomplished young ladies. After the
mail was opened and delivered, the
social features of the evening were in
dulged to the fullest extent, inter
spersed with delightful music both
instrumental and vocal, until quite
late when the party dispersed, look
ing forward with pleasure to the com
ing of
“Wisdom, Justice and Moderation."

iWRICUTULRAj/cONVENTION
our junior writes up his trip.
On Monday of last week we board
ed the up day train on the Georgia
Railroad, bound tor Americus, to at
tend the semi-annual Farmer’s Con
vention that convened there on the
Bth. We reached Camak on sched
ule time and spent an hour very im
patiently awaiting the departure of
the train for Macon. A slow, but
very pleasant run,landed us in Macon,
the incomparable Central City, at 6 p.
m. Immediately upon the arrival of
the train we took a hack for the hos
pitable home of friends on Cherry
street where a most delightful even
ing and night were passed, Tuesday
morning was exceedingly dark and
threatening, which later on proved to
be only fog and about 8 o’clock the
sun came out bright and beautiful.—
We found Bibb Superior Court in
i session, Judge Simmons presiding
, Before leaving the city we spent a
short while in the court room. The
court house is a magnificent structure
and the most conveniently arranged
one in the State. Towards 10 o'clock
we wended our steps to the Union
Depot. There wo met that prince of
gentlemen and efficient railroad man,
Maj. Theo. 1). Khliue, and take this
method of thanking him for kindness
and attention extended us. Ven
soon all was in readiness and the fa
miliar “all aboard” rang out upon the
crisp morning air and the iron horse
began to move off, increasing with
every revolution until the junction
was reached, where close connection
is made with the Central train from
Atlanta. After the transfer of passen
gers and baggage, with the same
rapidity our tram went thundering iu
a southwesterly direction bound for
Albany. This road has first-class en
gines, magnificent passenger coaches,
a good road bed in good order and I
polite, courteous and painstaking con-1
ouctors, taking everything into con
sideration, one finds it a real pleasure
to travel over the Southwestern Rail
road. The run from Macon to Ameri
cus was made in three hours, a dist
ance of 70 miles. This road, as is
usually the case, does not pass
through a very sightly portion of that
much favored region. There are
some very pretty little towns through
which it passes before reaching
Americus, prominent among them are
Fort Valley and Montezuma. The
latter place has, strictly speaking, an
artesian well with a beautiful and
abundant flow of water that is very
attractive and pleasing to the eye: At
the former the railroad eating house
is located and has an envious reputa
tion. Wo can vouch for the table. At
12:30 our destination was reached.
Upon alighting from the train I was
approached by a gentleman, present
ed with a badge of the State Agricul
tural Society and assig :ed to a home,
and in a few minutes one of the
Prince Bros, appeared upon the
scene, took charge of and hade us ba
seated in his carriage, which was
standing hard by. To this carriage
two elegant grays were attached and
were all impatient for the time to
leave. Upon leaving the depot wo
were driven through the principal
ard business portion of the South
western city to the I’rintA mansion,
upon a neighboring height that over
looked the surrounding country, and
we can safely say without the tear of
contradiction, that it is the most beau
tiful and commanding place in the
city. At this cozy and Eden-like
bower we were royally entertained.-
Never, until our heart ceases to pul
sate can we forget the real Georgia
hospitality that was accorded us. Af
ter dinner, in company with Dr. Pit
man, onr room mate from LaGrange,
we turned our faces toward the opera
house, to take part in the delibera
tions of the Convention. The assem
bled agricultural wisdom of Georgia
was called to order by the President,
Col. L. F. Livingston, and the regular
order of business taken up. Dr. Fel
ton, of Cartersville, was booked for an
address, but was unavoidably detain
ed at home, much to the regret of
the convention. Col. Mobley occu
pied the time set ap art for Dr. Felton
and gave us a very interesting talk.—
Various subjects were discussed dur
ing the remainder of the afternoon.
Some very practical points and
thoughts were brought out by the
members, outlining the proper course
to pursue to promote the agricultural
interests and develops the resources
of the grand old Empire State of the
South. A night session, as usual,
was determined upon and at an early
hour after tea we again gathered.—
This time it was an experience meet
ing. Quite a number seemed to be
Terms, $1 A Year In Advance
| well loaded with experiei.ee and the
convention was highly entertained
with rare bits of experience, that ri
valed anything of the kind on record.
It was equal to a circus and was fur
more enjoyable than Peck s bad boy.
Wednesday morning an able and
I exhaustive address was delivered be
fore the Couvcntfon, by CapL Cobb,
a very piomineut and successful
farmer of Americus, after which the
Brady bill was freely and very elabor
ately discussed. No definite action
was taken, neither did the Conven
tion determine upon any course as
regards the establishment of experi
mental farms and stations.
Prof. White, of Athens, wag billed
for an address during the forenoon,
upon tin pr< guss made by theex| ei
menial farm that is connected with
the State University, but the address
was defined until in the afternoon in
consequence of the laying ot the cor
ner stone of the new court hcuse,
which took place between the hours
of 11 and 12. The Masonic fraternity
extended an invitation to the Conven
tion to take part in the ceremonies.
The ceremony was very short, but
pretty and very impressive. Grand
Master of the State, the Hou. Jno S.
Davidson, was present and officiated,
ably assisted by the Masons of Amer*
ic.us and the visiting brothers from
various portions of the State, who
were present as members of the Agri
cultural Convention.
Grand Master Davidson's remarks
were beautiful, well timed and to the
point. The occasion was a notable as
well as a pleasant one in a groat many
respects, and will long be remember
ed by all who participated therein, aa
well as by thoso who witneese 1 the
impressive proceedings.
Immediately upon the reassemb
ling of the body in the afternoon,
Prof. White, State Chemist, made a
report of the experiments made by
him at the University farm, which
wore principally confined to the ac
tion of fertilizers on the different soils
and crops, demonstrating clearly to
our mind, that it requires some
knowledge of chemistry to farm suc
cessfully.
The management of the A. P. A L.
IL IL, through our President, invited
the members to cxcurt over tho road
the following day (Thursday.) About
seventy-five accepted the invitation
and express themselves as highly
pleased with the narrow gauge and
tho country it traverses. This road
is owned exclusively by Americus,
and when completed will extend from
the Chattahoochee to the Ocmulgee.
The Convention adjourned to meet
at Canton on tho 2nd Tuesday in
August next
A good word for Americus and wo
wi.l pass on to Albany. Americus is
the coming Southwestern city, within
its corporate limits there are about
6,500 inhabitants and increasing
rapidly, is backed up by a magnificent
farming country and has ample facili
ties for carrying on extensive business
engagements. There are three banka
with unlimited capital, a splendid
opera house, a handsome library,
churches, public schools, Ac., together
with numbers of fine two and throe
story business houses and costly resi
dences, hi, abundant flow of pure
water from three artesian wells, and
last, but not least sn unsurpassed
volunteer fire department.
On Thursday we run down to the
Artesian City, and spent four hours
very pleasantly. Albany is quite a
railroad center and has some reputa
tion its a winter resort, ou account of
the curative properties of hor strictly
artesian waters. The water is pretty,
pure and as dear as crystal, but the
sulphurous taste is very unpleasant.
At. 4 o’clock we began to retrace our
steps, reaching Macon at 830 where
wo spent the night. Left Macon at
7.10 Friday a. tn., and reached Har
lem at 2.50. Ja.
