Immigration to Floyd County.
There have been quite, a number of
farmers here from middle and lower
Georgia on the lookout for lauds to
cultivate. Several huve rented and
have gone back to move up their
families. Some are hero now with
their families for that purpose. They
say they prefer this section of the
country on account of the climate
and water, but more particularly on
account of being able to raise mixed
crops, which they cannot do more
successfully in the lower part of the
State. Rome Courier.
—Hon. J. W. Wofford, State Sena

his seat as a member of the Georgia
Senate, and the Governor has accept

fortius course is that the time or con
vening the General Assembly and of
Bartow Superior Court Is during the
same week in January. Mr. Wofford
adds: "Immediately upon the ad
journment of liartow court, other
courts convene where I have business
and where I am obliged to neglect
mv clients. The whole of the consti
tutional term of forty days allowed
for the legislative session is covered
by the courts referred to. * " * In
n time of peace and quiet, when t here
is nothing but ‘hard times’ to break
the monotony of current events, an
annual expense of a SIOO,OHO for fi’ffis
lation is too much to pay for it. For
a year or so after Gov. Bullock ab
sconded, a good deal of law making
and investigation was necessary in
order to re-adjust the disjointed af
fairs of the State government. But
all that has been done, and for the
future a session every two years is
quite us often as there will be any
call for legislation. A little examina
tion of the class work with which the
last few sessions have been engaged,
will satisfy anyone I am right in this.
I do hope to see a move made at the
noxt session to change tho Constitu
tion in conformity to the suggestion
hero made.”
Atlanta Constitution: Wo are
indebted to Dr. T. P. Janes, Com into;
siouer of Agriculture, for the follow
ing copy of a letter from a distin
guished pluuter of Liberty county,
Georgia, to him: “Just after the
war about 1868, two negroes raised
in tnis county bought an improved
place of forty acres, lying midway
between stations 2 and 3 of the
Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, remote
about four miles from the road.
They planted, after the usual man
ner, corn, cotton, rice peas and, I
think, oats. They cropped thus for
three years, the land gradually de
generating, only such portions of it
as they were able to manure. During
the spring of 1871 they noticed a
strange weed growing in the fields
and coming up thickly after the crops
were laid by. It continued to spread
and grow thicker all over the field
until every foot of ground, if left un
cultivated, would be covered by it.
It was soon discovered that it rooted
out the common grasses and weeds,
taking entire possession. It was
feared that it would be a worse enemy
than Bermuda or nut grass, but it is
now known not to be an enemy, but
a blessing providential, for the re
claiming of this poor old worn out

section of the State. Since its first,
appearance on this one place four
years ago, it ha* spread to other
places, so that fields several miles
distant have now become covered
with it. It seeds heavily, the seed
remaining in the ground all winter
and coming up in spring. Like seed
of crab grass, it makes no difference
how deep they are buried, they do
not rot, but will come up, even late
in the fall. It is not an early grower,
and hence never guts in the way ot
young crops, rarely getting up before
Mav or June. The first light frosts
of fall almost always kills It. While
cattle and horses eat it with great rel
ish, both green and cured, there may
be some objection to it. as a forage
plaut from (ho fact that after it is
cured, if roughly handled, it loses its
leaves. The vines contain so much
moisture it is liable to mold if pack
ed in bulk. Asa fertilizer it is unsur
passed. Ou one of the places where
it grows it was turned under in its
green state last tall on about two
acres. On an adjoining two acres it
was allowed to stand un i die, the
ground being broken this past spring,
and fertilized with stable ma
nure. The four acres wore
planted in corn, cultivated
ail alike, and when gathered
the green soil manure yielded two
bushels to one of the stable manure.
The dry season, however, prevented
tlie stable manure from having its
full effect. Tu land that is at all
“lively" in plowing it it is necessary
to use a good plow with a “sword
attachment, or it will choke every
five feet. The plant somewhat re

financial and business matters.
The financial and commercial in
terest of the Empire are in an ahnor
mai condition, though not exhibiting
positively dangerous symptoms. No
investments arc being made in in
dustries or works of any kind.
Money is being held in tight hands,
resolute in their determination to
hold fast against every flattering
proposition. Banking bills of ex
change are asking in vain for buyers
at a rate which practical ly [daces the
irredeemable currency of the nation

Tiie gradual melting away of slu-
I very under the Rio Branco act of
emancipation is rapidly impairing
the borrowing value of the large cof
fee estates; lienee the planters, al
ways the “borrowing' class in a
slave country, find it impossible to
mortgage their lands for any more
than the merest fraction of their es
timated value. Congress, composed
as it is of planters or their educated
sons, has stepped in with an offer
to guarantee the interest and become
responsible tor the principal of all
loans made to planters up to three
fourths of the value of their planta
tions.
This is sim,-ly a gigantic scheme,

We read of the Stone Age, the
Bronze Age, and the Iron Age. ns
the eras In the progress of civiliza
tion among mankind, and it is now
suggested that a suitable designa
tion of the present, era is tin - Paper
Age. When we consider what an
immense amount, of paper is used ev
ery day, ou which is printed the news
of the previous twenty-four hours,
also the many articles that arc made
of tliis material, it must be acknowl
edged that paper is pre-eminently
characteristic of this period of histo
ry.
From a light fan to a heavy ear
wheel, the greatest variety of things
is now made of paper. The manu
facture of paper collars, paper boxes
for various purposes, and* of envel
opes, is esneeially extensive and im
portant. In Germany alone it is
calculated that nearly a thousand
millions of envelopes me manufac
tured yearly, and, curiously enough,
the introduction of postal cards has
not caused a diminution of the num
ber. One of the most recent appli
cations of paper is for the cost,ruction
of small casks or barrels. These are
made of a cylindrical form of straw
paper, so pressed and glued together
as to he extremely hard. These bar
rels are said to be much better than
wooden ones, being at tho same
time lighter, more durable and
cheaper.—Exchange.
Coffee. At the time Columbus dis
covered America, coffee had never
been known or used. It only grew
in Arabia or upper Utopia. The dis
covery o? it as a beverage is ascribed
to the superior "fa monastery in
Arabia, who, desirous of preventing
I the monks from sleeping at their
i nocturnal serve--, made them drink
lan infusion of e dtee, on the reports
of shepherds, who observed that their
flocks were more lively after brow
sing on the fruit of t. !, 0 plant. Its
reputation spread through the ad
jacent countries, and in about two
hundred years it had reached Paris.
A single plant, brought there in 1711,
became the parent stoek of all the
French coffee plantations in the
West Indies. The Dutch introduced
it into Java and the East Indies, and
the French and Spanish all over
South America and the West Indies.
The extent of the consumption now
can hardly be realized. The United
States alone annually consume if at
the cost, on its landing, of from fif
teen million to sixteen million dol
lars.

MILLIONS IN' IT t
A Hii'ii Donkin* County Cold Mine to be
Developed.
AN ATLANTA COMPANY THAT MEANS
BUSINESS.
Just now there are a score of fully
organized efforts in progress looking
to the full development of the gold
mines of Georgia. New gold fields
are being discovered each week, al
most, and the interest being manifes
ted in the gold mining operations in
the Stato is so genuine and pronoun
ced us to give every promise of bril
liant results in the near future.
TIIF. LATEST MOVEMENT
that is ready lo be chronicled, is the
leasing of a gold mine in Douglas
county by a company of Atianta gen
tlemen, who are able and determined
upon developing it to its fullest ex
tent, They have been preparing to
embark in the enterprise under the
most favorable auspices, and are now
engaged in arranging for the com
mencement of their operations al
most immediately.
THE COMPANY
is composed of Gen. Jim Barnes, late
of Texas, but a native Georgian, Dr.
Samuel Rape, dental operator, and
Col. Andrew Bates, a young and on
prising lawyer, all of this city. Gen.
Barnes is an old and experienced
businessman, not wholly unacquaint
ed with mining operations, and a
gentleman of lino executive ability in
i lie management, of business affairs,
while Dr. Rape is well known in At
lanta and Georgia as a prominent
and capable business man, and withal
quite a successful one.
Tlir. MINE
is located in Douglas county, two
miles from Villa Rica, aobut thirty
live miles from Atlanta, and a half
mile from the terminus of the Geor
gia Western Road as at present indi
cated. 'l*he mine is in gold land that,
has yielded largely to indiscriminate
surface mining, and the mine itself
lias been recently operated upon by a
company which had insufficient capi
tal, ami was forced to cease its efforts.
Dr. Rape has long known of the mine
and suspected its possibilities. Re
cently full and careful investigations
were made and resulted most satis
factorily.
A RICH VEIN
of gold in the quartz rock was found,
being seven to eight feet in breadth
and extending, as far as it has beeu
traced, over a half mile; how deep it
is has not been found out. Rock
taken out of this vein, which is an
equally distributed one in its gold
bearing features, lias beeu crushed
and panned out gold to the average
of 827 to the ton, which is a splendid
yield.
The gold has been fully assayed,
and stands every test applied to il.
The company at once took hold of
the matter and have
I,EASED THE MINE,
and 400 acres of land about it, for a
term of ten years, and paying a hand
some sum therefor. They also pur
chased the engine, stamp mills, and
pumps, and other machinery of tho
finely operating company, and will
add to them. They propose to go
regularly into the business of devel
oping th is mine after tho best system
known to mining operations. Work
will commence in a short while, and
the company propose to speedily
demonstrate to the people of Georgia
that this is the richest and best pay
ing mine in t he State.
The company is one that will push
the matter to a result, and they do
not tear the corning of the result.
Raving cautiously examined into the
matter, t hey are putt ing all their en
ergies into the business. The people
will hail their success with pleasure
and pride.

The Most Ancient Trades. The
advertising business is the oldest one,
and the word “advertise” is a Bible
word. It was used before there were
any newspapers to publish the mod
ern advertisement, or any dictionary
to define the term. An interesting
real estate transaction which took
place in the land of Bethlehem some
thousands of years ago, is described
in the fourth chapter of the book of
Ruth, where it is written; “And he
said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that
is come again out of the country of
Moab, sellei.h a parcel of land which
was our brother Elimelee.fi’s, and I
thought to advertise thee, saying,
Buy it before the inhabitants, and
before the elders of my people.”

gramme will be explained to Ihe pub
lic as the result of the prevalence of
cholera at Mysore and Madras, but
the reason is the unsatisfactory atti

by any one of these in Madras and
