In travelling through the cOun-
try, last week, down into Calhoun
county, we were very much pleas
ed with the prospects that appear
ell on all sides. This is a very
fine farming section; the lands
good and lying well for improve
ment. Corn and cotton are in q
| beautiful fix: the crops are clean
Of grass and weeds, and growing
finely. Oats are pretty lair, but
needing rain badly.
We passed one very prosperous
looking farm, that had such an air
Of comfort and plenty it recalled
windy to our memory the good
old ante-bellum days; so much so,
that we made special enquiry as to
the owner and his plan of opera
ton. Mr.. Bill Lee, in a very
quiet way, is undoubtedly on the
right track to agricultural success.
He plants but little cotton, if any.
He raises everything necessary to
run a plantation, at home. He
buys, we learn, comparatively
nothing, except, perhaps, some
| fertilizers and few necessaries
that can't be produced here. You
will see on this farm as fine, sleek
cattie-milch cows-as can be
found anywhere. Hogs in album
dance. chickens, etc, without mum
Der. He viii Kill, this fall, 100
head OF hogs that will weigh $50
pounds average. He is we'll fixed
for the business and the word fail
is not in his vocabulary. He also
has stock ranch wherein he
raises all the mules and horses
needed on his plantation, and any
time in passing you may see a
drove Of fine colts ranging from a
year to three years old. He be-
gins working them early, making
them earn their feed, having plen-
ty of extra stock to make it come
light on them at first. bir. Lee
always raises from 1900 to 5000
bushels of corn more than his
plantation can consume. He is
selling corn now at a handsome
profit. His oats are looking well
and Of the greatest plenty Pea
nuts are one Of his speoialities just
now. He plants large quantities
from which he realizes immense
profits, besides fattening his hogs
on what is left in the fields after
harvesting. Mr.. Lee is growing
rich, by following the
live at homo'plan, and is, without
doubt, one Of the best farmers il
Terrell county. We hope to see
some day, and we believe the in.
clination to do so is growing, ev.

It is evident that the time has
come when the fishing interest Of
Southwest Ga. needs protection
from so many devices Of catching
them. Netting, trapping and such
like measures of destroying the

ton will be sadly short Of this
luxury.
During the past two weeks, a
religious revival has been in prog
ress at the Methodist church, Of

has been doing some very effective
work in the way Of preaching, and
has succeeded in enlisting quite a
deep interest. The meeting still
goes on, night and morning, and
we trust that great good may be
accomplished by the pastor and
his noble band Of workers.

PYGMALION AND GALATEAs
ORIGIN OF THE STORY.

To the EdttOr Of The Trtbuhe,
SIR: Please give an old readerinformationu
the following point What relation has the Galqed Of
Miss Mary Anderson to the statue in the myth OF Fyga
Iionl Ny mythology Bulfnchs) gives entirely differ
ent history Tor Gade1, and Pygmsons statue has no
name at all. $500 y q
Neic- York, Jan. %, 1884.
THE myth, of course supported the play. The
idea of making a sculptor become enamored of his
own marble creations has often been used In liter
allure. An instance Will be remembered in the we'll
known and excellent play of " The Marble Heart
All such schemes originate in the ancient myth of
Pygmalion 1t is not known, we believe, by whom
the name of Gaatea was first given to Pygmalon's
marble mistress. Tho famous FrenchInan, Rous-
seau, wrote a little piece acted in 1775 at the The
Atre Francais in which Pygmalion addresses his
statue as Gaat6e' and there are three or four
later works in the dramatic and musical literature
of France in which his statue is viyiied under this
name In one of them she made to get drunk,
make love to one of the sculptors servants and ut
terly disgust her maker. Mr.. Gilbert has given
half-humorous, half-pathetic turn to the story
in his treatment of it, and has written beautiful
play The subject, as also that of Titania enamoured
of the ass-headed Bottom, was n fayOrite with
Thackeray-and naturally. since it well serves to
point the moral of iu-assortcd relations in love and
marriage.-Ed.l
