MnLEN, Ga, June o. Editor Morning Ne,cs
With your permission will give your readers
the news items and farming prospects of this
section.
| Millen is located on the Central Railroad,
about eighty miles above Savannah, and is the
place of junction between the Augusta branch
and the main line Of the Central road Among
the thriving towns and prosperous neighbor-
hoods of Georgia this place and vicinity
stand foremost. Less than six years
ago the annual mercantile business of
this place did not exceed ten thousand
dollars; whereas the capital employed this year
will amount to the handsome figures of half a
million. New stores, residences churches,
saw mills and the like are going up on every
hand. and what before was a diSagreeable and
insignificent habit alton is now an elegant town
of gaiety and pleasure, of business and pros
perity The cotton and other produce of a
large portion of each of the four counties of
Burke, ScriveD. Buloch and Emanuel find q
ready market here. and the shipments from
this point increase almost a hundred per cent.

Mr.. James Ross, of Scriven county, one Of
the alleged participants in the famous Corn
well murder case. has returned home under q
twenty live hundred dollar bond for his appear
Rnce at the fall term OF tie Jefferson county
Superior Court, when he will have trial.
No rain of any consequence has fallen here
since the first of June The weather is ex-
ceedingly dry and the atmosphere miserahy
warm and disagreeable, notwithstanding
as a general thing crops look moderate
ly well and apparently are growing
More especially is this the case with cotton,
| which comprise the bulk, or nearly all, of the
| lands under cultivation. Fertilizers, so far,
seem to be doing better than ever before. Ow-
| ing to the careful cultivation which has been
adopted this year we think that we can truth
fully assert in spite Of the drouth and late sea-
sons, that the cotton crop, on an average. in
the four counties above named is at least
fifty per cent. better than it was at the
same date last year. large yield is
therefore expected. and viii in all proba-
bility be had Yet the overplus in
cotton will not be enough to supply the def
cheney In corn and oats, and credit. the great
sc urge OF the farmers in this section will be
their bdne again in the future as It ever has
been in the past The newspapers all over the
land are harping to them their folly in failing
to raise home supplies sufficient for their own
consumption, but they heed not the warning
and experience will yet have to work the
reformation

THE COTTON EXPOSITION.
Gratifying Results of Director Gen

ATLANTA, GA, June 30-H. l. Kimball,
Director General of the International Cotton
and Industrial Exposition, has returned
from an extended tour, having visited
Chicago, st. Louis, Louisville and other
cities, whose Boards of Trade and other
commercial bodies gave him enthu siastic
receptions and subscribed large sums to
the Exposition stock. Last evening the
Executive Committee met and decided th at
these and the previous liberal subseri pdons
removed whatever apprehensions had been
entertained earlier in the history of the en-
terprise OF the lack of funds to carry it
forward. They voted unanimously to fur
nish such floor space free to all desirable
exhibitors in every class of exhibits from
every quarter of the globe. The committee
was the more ready TO take this step be-
cause an immense attendance of visitors is
now absolutely assured.

General Bryant GrImes-Hls Bravery
During the War


The correspondent Of the Raleigh
Meas who has been furnishing that paper
with the proceedings of the trial Of the
supposed murderer of General Bryant
Grimes, of North Carolina, who was,
some months ago, assassinated while re-
turning to his home near Washington,
n. c.. gives the following sketch Of
General Grimes bravery He entered
the Confederate army in 1861, as Major
of the Fourth Regiment, North Carolina
troops. He participated in all the promi-
nent battles in Virginia He was not
absent from any fight in which his CON-
mand was engaged during the entire
war. He was promoted for bravery and
gallantry through the different grades of
rank until he got to be full Major Gen
eral. At the head of his division he
made the last Confederate charge upon
the Federal army at Appomattox on the
morning Gen. Lee surrendered. He
had seven horses killed and twenty
wounded under him during the war.
In one Of tie battles a cannon,ball struck
the horse he was riding just in front of
the left saddle skirt, passing through
the horses body and coming out behind
the saddle skirt on the right side. On
another occasion, as he was going into
a fight bombshell struck his horse on
the forehead, bursting as it struck. The
horses brains and blood were scattered
all over the Generals face, so
that his men thought him killed,
and began to waver. Seeing
this, he, although down on the
ground, with the dead horse lying on
his leg, drew his sword from its scab-
bard and waved it to his men. They
Immediately rallied, aEd, coming to his
rescue, dug the dirt from under his leg
with bayonets, and extricated him from
his uncomfortable position. He was
wounded only once during the war-at
South Mountain. He was shot in the
foot A few days after this he went into
the Sharpsburg fight with his wounded
foot resting upon a pillow, which was
made fast to the top of his horses neck.
Many more instances could be given of
his fearlessness and bravery.
