Georgia Farms,

Cotton is opening in the lower part of
Terrell county. The first bale Will soon
be on the market.
Twelve carloads, or 5000 bushels, of
Western corn have been shipped TO Daw-
son this season.
Five watermelons at Idyl Wylde last
Saturday weighed 800 pounds, the pre-
MUM melon weighing siXty-fOur pounds.
The apple crop promises an unusually
large yield throughout North Georgia this
season. The trees are weighted heavily
with the rosy-cheeked fruit.
Wheat threshing has been poor bust
ness In Ebert county this year, as but
few farmers made their seed back. Seed
wheat will be an item in the fall.
Comparatively speaking, the cotton
crop in Houston is now poor, but there is
time enough for an average crop to be
made where the grass has been COM
pletely mastered.
Elberton Gazette: The watermelon crop
is failure this year in this section. We
have not seen respectable looking home
raised melon for sale yet, and they are
generally plentiful by this time.

more cattle for sale in this section now
than ever before at one time. Since they

In Floyd county few weeks ago the
people were groaning under wet spell

At Calhoun Ralph Hughey exhibited an
ear of corn last Saturday which had the
exact shape of mans hand. Four fin

patch, and was in the roasting-ear state.
The first open boil of cotton seen in
Perry this season was sent in Monday by
Mrs. L. NJ. Houser. 1t came from three
acre patch belonging to Mrs. Houser, and
she is no doubt pardOnably proud of the
early maturity of her crop. The first bale
will be due in Perry within the next ten
or fifteen days.
Last fall several farmers belonging to
the Cypress Pond Agricultural Society, of
Terrell county, agreed among themselves
to plant each an acre of oats and contest
for the greatest yield. The oats were
threshed Monday, and Judge j. W. Sears
was found 10 be entitled to the pastry, his
acre turning out 80 bushels. Mr.. NJ. S.
Keith made the next largest yield, "a

Last Thursday several melon growers
of Houston county were notified that in
Atlanta and Chicago the melon market
was overstocked, and requested not to
ship any more to these points just now.
The returns have been rather mixed. The
highest heard OF was $l09 net for a
car load, while several have been asked to
forward specified sums to pay balance due
Oh freight. Good melons have uniformly
brought fair prices, while mixed lots
nave seldom brought satisfactory returns.

WHERE HAMMoCks ALL MADE.
Some Interesting Facts from a Uni
ted States Consul in Yucatan.

Some Interesting Facts from a Uni
ted States Consul in Yucatan.
"From time immemorial," says Consul
Ed. II. Thompson, writing from Merida,
Yucatan, ''hammocks have been articles
OF use and barter in Yucatan. have
found the remains of hammock-beams
and hooks in the chambers of the ruined
cities, those mysterious relics of past
civilization that lie buried in the depths
of the Yucatanean wilderness" He then
gives an interesting description of their
manufacture. He says Iuoatan to-day
exports more hammocks than any other
province in the world. They are made en-
tirely by hand, and with the sid of few
primitive vet effective Instruments. With
couple of straight poles, shuttle,
thin slab of Zapole wood and pile of
henequen leaves at hand the native Is
ready to accept contracts for hammocks
by the piece, dozen or hundred. The poles
are placed a certain distance apart, ac-
cording to the required length OF the ham
mock. The thin slab of hard wood is then
rapidly fashioned with the aid of sharp
machete into a "tonkas" or stripper. BY
the aid of this implement the fibre OF the
thick, tleshy nenequen leaf is deXterously
denuded of its envelope aud wisp of
rasped fibre is the result. This is placed
dbres are then separated into a certain
number, giving a deXterous roll between
the palm OF the hand and the knee and
long strand is produced. Two or more Of
these strands are then taken, and by a
similar deXterous manipulation convert
ed into cord or rope, from which the
hammock Is made. The cord Is ''rove"
rapidly around the two upright poles, and
the shuttle is then brought into play.
This Is generally the women's work, and
they do their work well. The shuttle
seems to move and seek the right mesh
with volition of It's own, and in a very
short space of time the hammock Is made
and laid with its kind to await the COM
ing of the contractor. After reaching the
hands of the merchant in Merida, the
hsmmocks, both white and colored, are
each classified into superior and inferior
goods, are neatly and compactly baled in
lots of tour or five dozen to the bale, duly
marked and forwarded to the United
States, which absorb most Of the entire
expectation. During the calendar year OF
1855 $4,000 hammocks weregshipped to the
United States from Yuoatan. During the
six months just ended over $4,000 have
already been taken by the United States.

FRYE FISHING.
BaXter's Saints Rest for Anglers
and What a Senator Caught.
Correspondence Cte0oia,d Leader.

Correspondence Cteoetand Leader.
DR.. Baxter, who was for long time
Gen. Gartield's physician here at the cap
ital, and who is one of the leading doctors
of Washington, has just returned from
his country seat In New Brunswick. He
has very fine fishing farm there and he
tells me he caught with hook during his
vacation of two weeks 1000 pounds OF
salmon. A number Of his fish weighed
over 30 pounds, and Mrs. Baxter caught
one fish weighing % pounds. DR.. Baxter
is great fisherman and he thinks he has
stumbled upon the incest thing in this
line on the continent. He has been fish
ing in this spot for couple of years, and
last year he noticed that about mile of
land along one of the best streams in New
Brunswick was to be sold at auction. 1t
had house and hotel on it and Baxter
got the whole thing for $4,000. There Is
considerable land in the purchase and he
tells me he could sell it for $25, 900 to-day.
He could lease the right to fish in his
stream for 81, 800 year, and it IS thought
here that he has bonanza in the way of
game fishing.
senator Frye, of Maine, went up to
spend a week or 80 with Baxter not long
since to sample mis- fishing pool. When
he first arrived Baxter was not there and
Frye tished in vain for four or five DAYS.
He was thoroughly Disguised when DR..
Baxter arrived and said he didn't believe
there was BANKED salmon on the place.
DR.. Baxter told him that he would show
him pool on the following day where he
could get some if he knew how to fish,
and when morning came he took Senator
Frye to this pool and left him, telling him
he ought to catch at least six fish before
dinner. Shortly after noon when DR..
Baxter returned to the house he saw FRYE
leaning against the portIco, with q very
tired air, but with pleased look on his
face. He had caught one salmon weigh.
ing % pounds and 1t had taken him hours
to land it. These big salmon are very
gamey fish and it takes skillful person
and one who understands salmon fishing
to catch them. Frye knew all about
speckled trout but nothing about salmon
He said he considered salmon fishing a
pretty serious business, that he had had
five or six bites, but that the fish had
hauled him mile or two down the stream
and that they had tired him out rather
than he them. Still Mrs. Baxter. who is
an expert fisher, landed her salmon IN %
minutes.
