Farm Facts.


Rev. NJ. c. Jordan, in his Goth year,
says he never saw such prospect for a
corn crop in Dooly before.
There are but a little more than 100
bales of cotton in the warehouses at
Americas now. This is an unusual
scarcity even at this season.
A chicken hen of Mrs. Eli Woodruff, Of
Vienna. having died just before she left
the nest, on which she had Matched out
eight little guineas, an old rooster took
charge OF the little guineas, and hovers
and feeds them as hen would.
Col. 7. f. Mari. who lives with his son,
Mr.. H. b. Mari, in Pulaski county, has
large silver cup which was awarded to
him by The Kentucky Fair Association
in 1855 for the first pair of horses that
ever sold in that State for 81 900.
Col. r. A. Holmes, of Miner, has
genuine curiosity in the way of corn
growth. 1t consists of eleven ears of corn
growing In one shuck and ON one stem.
Each one has cob and the rows of young
corn on the cob are nearly perfect, the
only deficiency being a less number of
rows. The grains of corn are perfectly
natural and well formed, and silks are
growing just as they do on any one ear.

unduly restrict the liberty of the indi-
vldual, and will succeed In doing in
Georgia that which it has elsewhere
1alled 10 do, then your memOraist says
that upon the adoption of such a law,
either constitutional or statutory, that it's
members will be found obedient to its
behests.
eff, in the opinion of your honorable
body, the attempt to pass a general pro-
hibition law would introduce into State
and Federal politics an issue dangerous
to the welfare of the State, and you deem
1t wlsest to submit the question of pro-
hibltl0n to the voters Of the several cuun-
ties, or minor divisions Of them, then your
memorialist prays that the issue may be
fairly submitted, ana that the result of
the election may be equally binding, i'm
posing upon either party the s.seli-same
obligations.
''Section 0 of the bill entitled an act for
preventing the evils OF intemperance, de-
clares that no election shall be held under
the provisions of that act. where by law
the sale of spirituous liquors is already
prohibited. In many counties and dis
trlctS in the State the sale OF spirItuOus
liquors has been prohibited by laws that
were submitted to the voters of said coun-
ties and districts. Is II fair to permit
certain counties and districts to pass
upon the question of prohibition, and yet
deprive other districts of that privilege?
II the purpose be not to deal fairly with
this important question, then your me-
morialist submits that the sham of an
election is unworthy of your honorable
body, and of the men and women who
sincerely believe in prohlbitory legisla-
ton.
"GOur memorialist has confidence in
the wisdom and justice OF its Senators
and Representatives, and, having this con-
hdence, calls attention to section 10
OF the pending bill. The present law re-
qulres that liquor dealers shall pay the
special tax required by law, aud register
their names and places of business on
Jan. ] of each year. Section 10 pro-
Vides that after the petition for an cleo
ton has been filed that no license shall
be issued pending the notice. If the pc
tltion should be filed on Dec. 81, then
no license could be issued for at least four
weeks, during which time the business OF
many dealers would be injured or de-
stroyed; and yet if the election went
against prohibition. these same dealers
would have been entitled to their licenses.
''It is possible that this object was in
tended by the section, but in simple JUS
tice your memOrialist asks that no such
wrong be perpetrated. The humblest
citizen of Georgia is entitled to protec-
ton. Good ends never justify evil means,
Cant is not religion, discrimination states
manship, or tanaticism wisdom The
liquor dealers of Georgia viii support
every just law; they VIII oppose every
unjust one; and if in opposing unjust
laws an unseemly contest should arise,
then let the crime greater than even the
evils of intemperance rest upon the mis-
guided men who are alone responsible.
''Ad0pted unanimously.

CROPS ABOUT MONTEzUMA.
Prospects Among the Finest In Years
Thrift of the City.

MoNTEZUMA, July 15.-YOur corre-
spondent spent yesterday in viewing the
crops in this vicinity. l have never seen
better prospects for both corn and cotton.
The corn crop is practically made. One
more good season and there will be no use
for Western corn here. The cotton crop
is very promising. The weed is large and
well-fruited. and with propitious seasons
for the next four or five weeks l think
that our receipts here VIII considerably
exceed those of last year. The shipments
from this place were 1000 bales last sea-
con. Navigation being opened on Flint
river between this place and Warwick,
distance of about fifty miles, we expect
to have more territory to draw from this
year.
Our progressive little city has about 600
inhabitants. We boast of three artesian
wells. one of them flowing the finest min
eral water of any well in the State. We
have an excellent fire company and fine
military company. or the twenty-five
st0rehOuses here only one is OF wood. We
have two brick storehouses now in pro-
cess OF erection. We have an excellent
brick hotel, almost new, that would be a
credit to much larger town.

ATLANTA's LANDLADIEs
Two Unsuspecting Legislators Fall Into
Determined Clutches.

Two Unsuspecting Legislators Fall Into
Determined Clutches.
At Atlanta Wednesday an interesting
case came up before an Atlanta Justice
Of the Peace, in which an honorable
Senator and a no less honorable member
of the House figured on one side, and a
well-known landlady of the city on the
other. The bone OF contention was the
trunks of the gentlemen referred to, con-
tanning the linen and other wearing APP
parel which they had brought for use
during the session Of the Legislature. The
gentlemen, when they arrived at Atlanta,
engaged a room and board with the lady,
with the view of, if they were
suited, remaining during the session.
When they went up the first night
they were dissatisfied with the room
and determined to 90 elsewhere. When
they notified the landlady of this resolve
on their part and offered to pay for the
time they had occupied the room, she
notified them that they were bound to
stay as long as the Legislature was in
session or pay the full amount that would
be due at the expiration of that time.
The gentlemen pleaded and protested
against the enOrmity of this demand, but
she was memorable. She then placed
their baggage under lock and key and
announced that when they were ready to
settle the trunks, etc, would be forth
cOming-not before. In this dilemma
and unexpected emergency the law
makers retired from the field to
hold a council OF war. The council
of war continued for twenty-four hours
without favorable result, at the end of
which the gentlemen found themselves in
need OF various unmentiOnable articles of
underwear. They repaired to the land
lady's castle and, stating the case, plead
ed for the privilege Of getting just q
change of linen, so that they could make
their appearance in. the General Assem-
bly, in fit and becoming attire. She turned
deaf ear TO their pathetic appeal, and
sent them back as they came. In des-
peration and reckless at the great straits
they were in. they hied them immedi-
ately to lawyer, who succeeded in bring
ing out the precious and greatly desired
baggage on a writ Of replevin.
The case was tried Wednesday, aud
decision was rendered against the land
lady as to the baggage, but the court
awarded her the sum of 80 for the actual
time that the gentlemen occupied the
room. The counsel for the landlady will
avail himself of the great writ Of GER
tiorari and introduce the case TO the
notice of his Honor, the Judge Of the Su-
periOr Court, and thence il will likely
move upon their Honors, the Chief Justice
and Associate Justices Of the Supreme
Court. In the meantime it may get into
the Legislature in the shape OF local bill
for the relief and protection OF the Sena-
tor and Representative who may innO-

landladies.

nothing had really been done to carry out

by NJ. b. Foster, on the corner of Cotton
avenue and FORSYTH street. Among the
assets Of the firm at that time was large
black cat that WAS several years old.
About the year 1871 they removed 10 their
present stand, and the cat, contrary 10 all
feline tradition, moved with them, and

BENNINGTON, FLA, July 15.-Your
readers in this State are legion and your
subscribers at this Office are numerous,
besides you have column or so devoted
to Florida news, hence l will give your
readers a sketch from this section. Since
your subscription price has been reduced
your subscribers in this section will be

which met the wants of all classes so
completely as does your weekly.
Our place is situated in the northern
portion of Marion county, miles from
the line OF Alachua. Ii is miles from
the Florida Southern railroad on the east,
the nearest point to transportation now,
but by October or November we will be
in two miles of a road beginning at Are
donda on the Transit road, going south.
The terminal point has not yet been de-
cided upon. This is one of the most fer
tile portions OF the State. There is fine
strip of land beginning southeast at FAINT
vile. II miles distant, running northeast
to Orange lake. The strip is from 5 to
mites in width, and from Is to % miles in
length, and a finer belt of land, adapted
for all purposes, cannot be found any
where.
Owing to cOntinued rains the crops need
work. Corn and cotton look well, and If
no unforeseen disaster happens farmers
will make bread and meat enough for
home consumption. The vegetable crop
was failure financially, as the late
spring and drought operated against it.
We had an addition to our village last
winter by the arrival of some half dozen
families from South Carolina.
