convenience for the ladies.

the people of Terrell will avail
themselves Of the opportunity now
offered to make exhibits of their
products at Macon and New Or
leans, it will be an advertisement
for our county worth thousands of
dollars. Other counties are MAX
ing preparations to make extensive
exhibits and we trust that Terrell
will do the same.
The lumber men Of Terrell ap-
pear to have struck boom. The
firm Of Ii. S. Lee & Co. have or
ders for seven car loads of lumber
from Ohio, and the probability is
that they will not be able to sup
ply the demand if it continues to
grow on them in future as it has
done during the past few weeks.
The time is not far distant when
the pine trees of Terrell will repre-
sent SO many dollars.
The Journal is indebted to the
Rev. DR., Geo, A. Lotion, pastor
Baptist church at Dalton, for a
copy of his little book Of poems,
mighty to Save" DR.. Lotion is
a man of wonderful genius, as
well as of versatile talents. He is
destined, at no distant day, to
stand at the very top round of
fame, both as a preacher and
author. The Doctor has our sin
cerest congratulations upon his
success as a poet.
The prevailing idea with the
farmers is to plant oats simply as
bridge to tide them over from
the time the old corn gives out till
the new comes in. How many
farmers in this country make oats
enough to last them from one
years end to another? These
thoughts were suggested by the
debate out at Cypress Pond on
last Saturday. Think about it,
farmers, and learn to plant enough
to last you the whole year round.
It is very generally agreed
among the farmers that the corn
crop in this county is safe. SUI
fcient rain has fallen to mature
and ripen it even if we should
have no more. This crop is very
fine too, and it looks now as if the
farmers of Terrell would have an
abundance to do them another
year. We sincerely hope so,
though we are afraid to predict
too confidently.
One of the most interesting
events incident to the barbecue on
tomorrow will be the playing Of
match game of baseball between
the o. KS, of Eufaula, and the
Artesian City's, of Albany. Both
of these clubs have the reputation
of being very expert in the science
of the game and we doubt not that
some good work will be done. The
game will be witnessed by several
thousand people, and the boys are
therefore expected to do their
best.
A musical family is that of Mr..
T. j. Jay, of Randolph. Tom
passed through our little city on
last Thursday, en- route to Bron-
wood, and stopped for an hour or
two and treated our people to
some of the finest music that we
ever listened to. His band is com
posed of himself, two sons, two
daughters and one Of Mr.. Lem
jays little daughters. Tom and
his boys each play a violin while
the little girls do the singing
Their African melodies are unsur-
passed by anything OF the Kind
we ever heard, and we shall hope
to have tie pleasure Of seeing
them in our city again.
Some of the negroes Of this
county met together in mass
meeting on last Saturday after
noon at the court house for the
purpose, as they said, of nomina-
ting man to be "Representer'
for Terrell. We learn from one
or two white gentlemen. who at
