A Visitor to Terrell.

A Sumter county citizen has
visited Terrell, and on returning
home writes to the Sumter Repub-
lican as follows:
We arrived at Bronwood where
we were met by Judge Eli Hill. at
the store OF his son Jim" store
more like the .frst one the writer
Of this letter kept in Americus
thar any he has seen for a long
time. His prints and shiltings
were folded and put up on the
shelves Just as we used to do It
long ago, and just as some Of us
would like to do it still, if we had
room.
We spent two or three hours
with "Jim" very pleasantly, and
then left with the Judge for his
beautiful and comfortable home,
about four miles from Brentwood.
The crops along the route are very
fine, and in good condition, much
as I have heard Of grass. IF the
rains continue a little longer there
will certainly be more corn made
in the country through which we
passed, from Brentwood to Judge
Hills, than they will need for
home consumption, and the pros
pect for a cotton crop could not
be much better. The Judge him
self, AND his two sons, George and
Alma, all have splendid crops of
cotton and corn, and their planta-
tons show that they are well man
aged and we'll cultivated.
The warm reception with which
met at Judge Bills home, and
the constant kindness and polite
attention / received FROM him, as
well as Mrs, Hill and her daugh-
ter, made me feel like saying, as
is too often said without being
true, but as | could say truly Of
them, it was an elegant hospital
Iity." Everything was comforta-
ble-everything was good and ev-
erything was pleasant at their
home.

Editor Etc.
MoNTEZUMA, GA, !
June the 18th, 1885. (


EDITOR JOURNAL: On a recent
visit to Southwest Georgia [ was
in Dawson short while and !
could tell you of the pleasant
changes, Improvements, ETC., that
have taken place there since my
last visit, but you know more
about it than | do.
My stay was in Brentwood.
Some correspondents have been
inclined to exaggerate the beauty
and progress of our little town,
but not the merits of the inhabi-
tants, for there is not more love
ly, sincere people in the State
than those of your neighboring
little village, Brentwood. | heard
an efficient sermon preached there
last Sunday by Mr.. Elmore, the
Lutheran pastor at that place.
Mr.. Elmore is not an ostensive
man, but when standing behind
the sacred desk the boldness of
his creed is asserted as two
edged sword, looping off the fol-
lies of sin at every stroke. Those
followers of Martin Luther, the
great reformer, make deserving
impressions wherever they are
known.
There is a man in Brentwood
who borrowed a widows small
amount Of money, and when she
requested only lawful interest he
gave her the per cent. of financial
circles, There is more silent JUS
tice in the world than many Of us
surmise.
The ladies of the Brentwood
missionary society are making a
quilt. It is not costly, but neat.
and they hope when it is complete
to realize a handsome little sum
for the cause in which they are en-
listed. May their fidelity be re-
warded.
Mr.. John W. Murray, of Sum-
ter county, has a little daug hter,
of eleven years, whose head is
quite gray now. In all probabili-
ty it will be snow white by the
time she is eighteen; as it contin-
ues to turn gravy This freak Of
nature SURPRISES in romance the
white headed woman Of Fashti.
The Montezuma Record is a
readable paper, but there is sau-
cy man connected with it whose
acquaintance must be very limited
among the fair sex, as apparently
he has never met a woman who
does not gossip about somebody.
He ought to visit old Terrell.
BY some, it is said that the mis-
cradle suicide notices in print
make impressions on morbid
minds to such an extent as to per-
pbtuate self-destruction.
