Emanuel county farmers contemplate

The cane and sweet potato crops Of
Emanuel county are fine, the former being
far above an average.
The Farmers Club of Hancock county
will have an exhibit of farm produce,
stock, etc, on Oct. %.
S. E. Self, who spent day in HARRISON
county last week, says he saw corn crops
that ne is satisfied will yield 125 bushels
per acre.
Bottom around Leary has suffered some
injury, both from the caterpillar and boil
worm, and the crop will be considerably
short of first estimates.
Col. j. NJ. Truitt, of LaGrange, thinks
the cotton crop is 'oh'' fully 20 per cent.
through the injury received from the late
heavy and continuous rains.
The whole force on the farms in Clarke
turned out Monday to the cotton and hay
fields, nearly depOpulating the rural
towns and schools. The cotton in the
fields has been greatly damaged by the
rains.
DR.. r. A. Hammons, of Logansville. had
an acre of land planted in corn, that has
produced an unusually large amount.
There were only 46 rows, and he has
gathered from them $1,000 we'll formed
ears, and thinks it will yield at least 1876
bushels. He used only 200 pounds Of
acid.
There is a small farm Just two miles
from the center Of Americus. The owner
has 10 acres in cotton. He has already
q bales gathered, and can with certainty
count on 10 more He has 100 acres in
corn, which will produce enough to sup
ply the place and leave over 500 bushels
for sale. He has 20 acres that will aver
age 80 bushels per acre. He has several
acres in sugar cane and has been offered
$3.50 for the cane now standing on one Of
these acres. His pea crop will more than
fatten the hogs on the farm, and he has
enough hogs to supply the place with
meat for year. The corn, cane, ETC., he
will have for sale will pay the entire ex-
pense of making the crops, leaving him
his thirty odd bales of cotton clear profit.

a drove of wild turkeys, and before they
could get from under cover Of his fowling
piece he had ''downed" four of them. A

The Baptist church at Gainesville num-
bered 1T members when its present pas

400 bona fide members.
The Primitive Western Baptist Asso-
citation, which met at Emmaus church,
Troup county, last Friday, broke up on
Saturday, without day. This final ad-
journment was the result OF a division
caused by the action of the Bethlehem
church, in Meriwether county, having a
preacher whose doctrinal antecedents
were distasteful to a part of the body.
Some of the members left for home, not
waiting to hear the preaching on Sunday.
Rev. DIR. Woodrow has appealed from
the action OF the Augusta Presbytery on
his case to the Synod This will probably
make the approaching session of that
body in LAGRANGE a lively one. DR..
Woodrow, it will be remembered, was
suspended from the chair he filled in the
theological seminary at Columbia for
teaching the doctrine of evolution. Hav-
ing been accused of heresy, he recently

A County Court.

From tie GWgtOn, (Ga.,) Chronicle.
Well! Efingham has County Court,
given to her by the present legislature,
and to the surprise of two-thirds of our
people, they did not know there was
such bill pending. A surprise, an hon
est surprise to the people. Who asked
for this court? What is it wanted for
anyhow? Effingham Superior Court only
sits two or three days; tnen, in the name
of common sense, what do the people want
with a County Court? There certainly
must be wild hunt after little Judge
ship, or there must be few men who
want a little law business, just to give
them something to do.
There is something wrong in this whole
affair, that needs an investigation and
looking into Somebody must have been
terribly interested in having a County
Court tor special purposes, and these pur-
poses of a selfish nature. Somebody has
imposed upon Representative Morgan as
to the wishes Of the people.
