thor of the communication from Oakway

The Toccoa Ne,os says: Mr.. Julat
Phillips, of Oconeo county, S. G., was in
town this week with load of cabbages,
which he sold to II. M. Payne ut an ave-
rage at six cents each. Mr.. Phillips
raises about 1000 heads of cabbagos to
the aero, which, at six cents each, would
amount to $240. This is better than rails
! ing cotton. If our farmers can find 6
good market for garden truck, tho bust
ness of raising vegetables and root crops
of all kinds will be very profitable.
Maj. w. j. Beard and family, who have
been living at Sumter, S. c., several
years, have moved to Oconcc, and arc
making their hon" for the present al
Tomasseo, with Mrs. Jones. Maj. Beard
has been in declining health for some
time, and makes the change for the bone,
fit of his health. We hope that a few
months sojourn in Oconeo, and relief
from the exacting labors of tho law and
newspaper business, will restore him to
his wOntcd robust health and strength.

The now Episcopal Church is now com
plotted and ready for use The benches
were made under the supervision of Mr.
VIM. Perry, who had specially in view
their case and comfort. We believe them
to be tho most comfortable seats in an,
church in town. Rev. Mr.. Gadsdcn, tho
pastor, expects t hold series of meet
ings in tho now church at an early day
Jour Episcopalian friends deserve much
credit for their neat and elegant house
of worship. Their membership is small

church has been possible only through
much patient labor and sacrifice.
