A Small Farm.

A small farm well titled, is better than
larger one poorly tended. This truth we had
evidenced to us last Monday evening, while on
jaunt to the country, in company with our
fellow citizens, Mr.. L. G. Mcclellan, Maj. W. 7.
VIM, Mr.. A. A. VIM, and Mr.. l.. s. North
cult. The farm we have reference to ia that of
Mr. L. G. McLelans, near Kennesaw Noun
tain, just beyond Dek's mill. He has thirty
acres Of the finest wheat we have seen this sea-
son, and we have had the opportunity Of seeing
wheat 10 the richest portion Of Cobb county this
year. 1t is remarkably uniform in growth, and
some Of it will produce a large yield, and that
too on billy, rough looking land, the productive
capacity of which is not to be doubled, for it
stood before us fully demonstrated in the tall
stalks and large.full heads Of wheat. He has
three varieties sown, rust proof, Fultz's, and
May wheat, the latter with its waving, golden
grains already invites the reaper's scythe. The
creditable and gratifying yield promised on this
farm, is not only due to Mr. McLslan's good
management in its cultivation, but, also, to his
keen foresight in securing the very best seed =
And, by the way, he will offer for sale one hun
bred bushels each OF the two varieties for seed,
and he thinks, with others, from the locality the
seed was obtained, being 300 miles Northeast
of this place and South of the Blue Ridge, that
each variety sown at the proper season, that
this section lmay be made to produce as much,
or more wheat than in former years. The early
variety is splsndidIy adapted to this locality,
and should not be sown in this section before
the 18th of November, but will do well sown
during December, so as to avoid damage from
Spring frost. On upland with some fertilizer
or on strong land, crop may be confidently
expected from this seed as there is no danger
of rust.

There's Money In It.

THE blackberry industry in Geor-
gia, North, Caroline and other south
ern states is sbout to open, and the
local papers are showing what "a boz
nanza is in danger of running waste.
The little town of Salem, N. c. con-
tanning only about 1000 inhabitants,
has shipped during thee years over
5000, 900 pounds of dried black
berries, for which nearly half q mill
lion dollars was received. This was
equal to over nine thousand bales of
cotton at ten cents pound and is a
resource certainly not to be despis.
ed. We trust our people around
Marietta, when the blackberries be-
gin to ripen, will redouble their efs
forts to gather and dry this crop,
which has paid SO handsomely in
other places last year. There's
money in it. And the splendid fruit
crop promised should be extensively
dried and utilized this year. Msri>
eta merchants will buy all you
bring them.

A Card from Judge a. G. Mcintosh
POWDER SPRINGS, Ga, May slst, 1877.

POWDER SPRINGS, Ga, May 31st, 1877.
EDIToRs-I most devoutly and earnestly
hope that the people, the true sons of Georgia,
will meet in convention and revise the present
Constitution to suit their ocn wants and neces-
stiles. why is Con vention necessary
1st Because the organic law should not only
be made for the people, but by the people
Cd. The Legislators should be prohibited
from voting themselves compensation. This
should be fixed permanently in the Constitu-
ton, say not more than FIVE dollars per diem
Sd. The Senate is too large; twenty-five
Senatorial districts, and corresponding num-
Der of Senators, would be far better.
4th. one hundred Representatives in the
lower House, would accomplish the necessary
work sooner and more satisfactory.
9Th. "Ths State as well as municipal corpo
ra,ions, ought to be prohibited from issuing
bonds. II they need money, it should be raised
by taxation, process that will lead the people
to examine into the matter for themselves"
9th. The Justice Courts should have jury,
and should il addition to their present duties,
have cOgnizance Of all minor Offsnses against
the State.
9TH. Biennial sessions would largely reduce
cur taxes, and should by all means be adopted.
9Th. As to the question of removing the CAPT
tol, it will be by this Convention, opine, more
permanently fixed Eand settled In Atlanta
There are other questions ofimportance, which
will need attention.
Now, Messrs. Editors, have been (without
seeking or even asking fer it) nominated by
the 35th Senatorial district candidate TO this
constitutional convention, and should this con-
yention be ordered by the people, and be hon
ored with seat therein, promise to do all
that can to promote and advance the interests
of Georgia and to lessen the burdens of taxa

Mountain Climbing.

The greatest altitude which has been
reached by mountain climbing was attained
in Cashmere by Mr.. johnson, who some
years ago mounted to spot %, 800 feet
above the sea. Eronauts have assembled
SO, 800 feet and returned in safety. tt is
supposed by monntaineers that %, 600 to
26, GOO feet is the utmost height that will
ever be trod by human steps. That life
can be supported at this altitude has been
proved by the adventures who have dared
the dangers of the upper air in balloon.
During the last summer Mons. Weiner as
cended Mount Illinani. one of the loftiesf
peaks of the Bolivian Andes. The height
of this mountain has been variously es,i-
mated, Mr.. Pentland giving it an altitude
Of 81. 200 feet; Mr.. Minchin setting it at 2l.-
224 feet, and Mr.. Weiner himself making
it to be only 2O,s19 feet. Few ascents
to the height of 81. 600 feet have been re-
corded Hunters Of the Hirnalayas often
chase their game 10 the height of %, 600
feet, and natives living near Mount DEM
ar,nd, near Teheran, frequently climb tn
The summit, above 10000 feet to gather
sulphur from the crater.
