Year with Good Prospects.

Town and County Start the New
Year with Good Prospects.
TOWNSVILLE, GA, Feb. 26.-Thomas-
vile and Thomas county are getting fairly
we'll started on the new year. The ex-
tremely mild winter has caused the impress
sion to get abroad that the winter tourist
business has been failure. This is GER
tainly not true of Townsville. A large
number of winter residents own homes in
and around Townsville. These people,
with their sisters, their cousins. and their
aunts, are all here. The boarding-houses
and smaller hotels are all COM
fortably full many of them be-
ing filled to their full capacity. There are
great many visitors located in private
houses. All the big hotels are doing fairly
we'll, though it is true that they have not
been over-crowded yet. AS class visitors
are not so wealthy this season as formerly,
and hence do not patronize the expensive
hotels.
Gardening has been for the last six
months rather confused business. The
seasons have turned things topsy-turyy.
Some people are planting English peas and
irish potatoes, while others are eating them
fresh from their gardens This confusion
has had the effect to somewhat retard very
active and decided work, and gardening,
therefore, may be said to be rather back
ward
The farmers are unusually cheerful, and
are preparing to put in larger crops than
ever. The mule trade is good barometer of
acreage of crops, and it has been very fine
all through this section. Farmers are al
ways hopeful in planting time. The spring
peculiarly cheerful season, but the fixed
expression of brightness in the farmers
eountenances is more general and decided
IhlS planting season than ever. The good
prices of cotton this season and the splendid
prospect for good prices next have affected
iavorably their spirits. Land values all
over this county have stiffened very per-
eeptibly. There is much less disposition to
sell and much more to buy.

Certainly. I know the difference
in the quality and the pitch of the

know, the horses would lever start

They know the starting gong by its

takes a good horse about three days to

times we get hores that run over the
streets for three months before getting
