After a long, but almost painless illness,
Hon. Charles j. jenkins departed this life
at his residence in Summerville, near
Augusta, on Friday night of last week.
Gov. jenkins was one Of Georgia's greatest
hero and his death, though not uneX-
pecte, has cast gloom over the entire
state. He first appeared in Georgia politics
as member Of the legislature as far back
as 1880, more than fifty years ago. The
next office he filed was that Of Attorney
General Of the State. lie was again re-
elected to the Georgia Legislature in 1885,
which position he filled continuously for
about fifteen years, andduring all that time
was cognized as the peer OF any member
Of chat body. In 1860 he was appointed
judge of the Superior court in the Angus.
Ia circuit, which position he held until after
the clos of the war In 1860 he was
elected Goyerncr Of the State without op.
position, and in 1877 was chosen President
of the st tie Constitutional Convention.
Gov. jenkins was enc of Georgia's purest
patriots and the memory OF his many noble
deeds win long live in the hearts Of his
people.

In spite Of the charge that the Telegraph
makes that the truck business in Georgia
has busted" and that except around the
cities it must lapse into nothingness," Mr..
McRae, Of Valdosta, writes to the Constl-

his cabbage crop $40 per acre, and but for
the fact that three of his five cars miscarried
and were detained he would have realized
profit Of $3.50 per acre instead Of SO

The excessive and continued rains that
fell throughout Southwest Georgia during
the first two weeks in this month have
proven very damaging to the melon crop.
Many of the young melonsfel off the vines
and rottei during this rainy spell, aud the
early crop was thus cut off considerably.
The injury . the crop seems to be gen
eral throughout Southern and Southwest
Georgia. A postal card received yesterday
from a prominent truck farmer at Dixie
Brooks, county, says "T'he rains have
hurt the melon crop all through here. We
will hardly get one car load from siy acres

The outlook for good corn crop at pres
ent was never better The prospect
throughout the entire state is fattering
and with continued good seasons for the
next three weeks the crop will be large
In fact, we doubt, if in all the history of
the state the crop was ever more promis-
ing at this date. The seasons have been
as favorable as could have heen desired,
and the indications, now, lead us to hope
that there will be no want Of rain until the
corn crop is safe.

a very good chance to get the road, and
would suggest to the Independent that they

The above, we regard, as a very neat
reply to the editorial found in the Todepea-
de"t Of the 18th inst. 1t is but proper to
state in this conuexion that Dawson had a
meeting Of her citizens upon the railroad
question several days in advance Of the
Lumpkin meeting, and we felt honored on
that occasion To have with us the presence
and counsel Of Judge Wimberly The
Judge gave US god advice and we thought
that it was understood at the time that
Lumpkin should become the ally Of Daw-
son. However, we hope, yet, to be Of
advantage to our Lunpkin friends in
securing the much desired railroad

We suppose that duriHg the past few
years there has been more talk about the
extension of the Brunswick and Albany
than any other railroad in this section.
The latest phase of this talk is that it will
probably be extended from Albany to
Columbus We trust this report is true.
1t seems to us more promising undertake
ing, one much more likely to prove pro-
titable than an extension to Eufaula We
hope this time there will be something
more than talk.-Thomasyille Times.
Your hopes will in all probability be
realized this time, brother Times. The
engineer corps is on the road, the contract
for the bridge is out, and the foreman of
the bridge gang on the ground; so it really
begins to look as if the road meant bust
ness. Albany News.

The Atlanta Constitution very correctly
says: IF the papers who are sneering at
the truckers and appearing to gloat over
occasional unlucky shipments, would adj
dress themselves to this work and try ia
get better time and terms from the railroads,
and inform the shippers more fully as to
the markets, they would do their state
more service, and would themselves be
happier. This is what the Constitution
win apply to, and we go into the work
confident that we will see truck farming
continue to enrich that section of the state
that is adapted 10 it, and prosper in spite
of temporary ill-luck and the sneers o.
those who seem to be happy only in tearing
down and denouncing where they SHOULD
try to foster and build up"

$4,000,
About two years ago Sheedy arrived in
