FgUIT DRYER Whilst az III ID lies a
few weeks since. IN company with Judge
Savage, we visited the farm ewnsd hy c.
Denton, and located n Mill creek. about
mile above the Garrison. Mr. Denion wss
the first man east OF the Cascades to engage
in III cultivation Of fruit, and has one of
The oldest well as bes, orchards in the coun-
try. Nestled in a. the foot of the mountains,
with high cliff overhauging either eide, hi-
home is a p-rfect paradise. and WILL rewards
him for years of toll. At this place We had
sn opportunity to examine an Alden fruit
dry.r, the firsr and only one this side of the
mountains. This dryer opera'rs on an tx
rensive scale. and is equal 10 he work Of all
entire neighborhooi. Mr.. Denton informed
Us that he dryer alone cost $1,000, and We
presume as much more for building and fix
lures In neighborhoois where there is much
fruit grown it might be we'll to form a joint
stock company and introduce an Alden dryer
The fact that our valley is favorable to 'h-
production of fruit ON extensive scale il
now we'll established. and il The fruit crops
are 10 be made available, dryers must be in
troluc-d. The great cost Of the Alden dryers
will prevent individuals from buying them,
aad 20 in neighborhoods where rh-y will pay
it will be well TO form jnint-stock associations,
and introduce ;he machines much on the
plan iha, cheese factories are established in
Eastern States One Of these machines in a
single year will prepare many thousand dol
lars worth Of fruit for market, aud in that
way ma eriaiiy add to the productive resOur-
ces OF the country

Prospects Frightening up. The
villa somewhat unhealthy. Melons
getting scarce. Country produce
in demand. Mosquitoes and flies,
farewell. And our right bower as
he peeps over our shoulder says
heas in abundance. Our farmers
are driving away with all their
might preparing to gather cotton
and corn crops.
We are glad to say that our fel
low townsmen, r. N. Campbell and
James West, are rapidly recovering
from attacks of chills aud fever.
No marriages. We have to tell the
sad tale that death has carried of
several of our people round about
here. Both old and young, male
and female, have suffered its shock.
We have daily visitors from other
sections, but news for a paper is
like hunting for needle in a hay
stack. Our old friend Rob't Buge
of Lynnyille paid our village visit
to-day. He still possesses his same
wit and humor as in the days of his
single blessedness. But to return
to a subject which involves the
ttoughtfulness of Jimmy's twi
light hours since he let his cretuI
get loose like the unfortunate one
mentioned by KulIy. He now sings
While wandering about in this desert OF woe
From place unto place in deep sorrow l 60
l think of the pleasure Of days that are gone
For now am sad while I'm left all alone.
Thus musing sit and think of thee, love,
And moaning | wait as the mateless dove
My loving companion, my darling art thou
If ever l loved thee, my dea rest, tits now,

Bethel.

There has been nothing from
Bethel in some time. i suppose
you would like to know that none
of us have forgotten you or your
worthy paper. Although the pens
have been still, many hands and
minds are busy; the first in making
continual improvements in our vii
laee, the second in planning some
thing new and interesting. / think
you will agree with us that we are
going to be "good folks" for we are
having q new parsonage and much
talk of a Cumberland Church. This
will add very much to the beauty
and interest of our lovely little vii
Iage. While we are mentioning the
new buildings we must not slight
one that is to take a prominent
place, and that is the house of our
little NJ. ID. 1t is not yet built but
is much talked about. j suppose
it win be very smaIl-just large
enough for himself, for of course he
does not think Of taking any one
else there TO disturb MS paradise
OF peace and quiet"
The Literary club which origina-
ted some months ago Is still alive
and is very improving to all, and
affords great amusement 70 the
young people. The members of
this club have just given public
entertainment OF essays,extracts and
music, which we hope the audience
enjoyed equal to the pleasure it ar
f0rded the club to try 10 entertain
them. We hope il viii continue TO
increase ia interest, and that il will
not freeze up this winter. Our
school is unusually full this fall,
and we do not think the patrons OF
the school viii ever become weary
of our esteemed teachers.
Bethel Sunday school is still In
creasing in numbers and interest.
It IS pleasing to see parents train

The great Henry M. Stanley. the
famous African explorer, is not our
Henry NJ. Stanley, the efficient Cir
cult Court Clerk. Our Henry never
chased the amiable lion through the
jungles of Africa, nor rode the sill
yer tongued alligator up the Nile,
nor attacked Gauges mosquitoes
with a park of artillery, nor put to
the sword a score of Afric tix-all
for the fun of Bennett; but he
has spent all his cleverness at home,
and still is clever.

Long Branch.

The current of events is running
rather light in this section now,
which accounts for my semi month
| ~ letters. II is no easy matter to
write for the CITIZEN in a way that
viii meet the appreciation of all its
patrons. Some people in Giles
county do not know prose from
poetry-objecting to this and that
as though they knew as much about
printing as anybody. Such people
have enough brass on their faces to
make a kettle, and enough sap in
their heads to fill it. They would
make valuable additions to the fire
department. as they are evidently
too green to burn. For the infor-
nation Of those who accuse me of
plagiarism, / viii state that l am
honest enough to inclose what /
borrow from others in quotations.
Their remarks as to my illiteracy is
partly correct, but because they
have suffered themselves to drag
out a life in total darkness and ig
norance, it is no reason that others
should. Were it not for tradi-
tional history, some of them would
never have known that the revolu-
tionary war gave independence to
the colonies; that we ever had =
Washington who was first in the
hearts of his countrymen. Such
people never take paper and con-
sequently never know anything.
Don't judge me by my appearance,
my good friends, for if the same
judgment is melted, you too might
fall behind the dead line.
Sorghum makers are getting up
very good article of molasses this
season, but the cane is not turning
out as much juice as common. Mr..
Bill Anderson is ahead of anybody
in that line.
Mr.. John Puryear made trip to
Alabama not long since, and was
accompanied on his return by his
sister, Mrs. Inmon, who will spend
short time with her friends and
relatives in this neighborhood. We
wish her a pleasant stay among us.
Mr.. John d. Bradley of Big Creek
is practicing his profession in this
neighborhood now. His tact for
spinning ysrns makes him an agree
able companion. No man can have
the blues in his presence. Mrs.
Indiana Hays, of Vale Mills, visited
relatives here last week. Our creek
was enlivened by the charming
presence of the Misses Minnie Reed
and Mary Puryear, of Mt. Pleasant,
few days ago. Don't let that be
the last by any means, for we ap
preciate the visits of such lovely
young ladies. / like the ladies very
much, and if there were none this
side of the Atlantic Ocean 1 reckon
