COMMENCEMENT BOAT RIDE.



The exercises of commencement week
came to an appropriate close June Pc
with the Commencement boat ride on the
steamer Vermont. The boat was late so
that it was $50 when the excursion started
Nearly 200 people left the city at this time
and the ride upon the lake, not withstand
ing the brisk wind and cloudy sky, was
thoroughly enjoyed by all. The pleasantly
lighted apartments, the fine music by tho
toward Opera House orchestra, the
elegant and elaborate supper served
during each trip, and the cheerful
appearance presented by the dancers
were most conducive to lively social inter
course, in spite of any outside unpleasant
influence. At intervals however, the moon
came OUT from behind the clouds with even
unusual beauty and was thoroughly apprc-
ciated.
The steamer returned to Burlington at
about 1890 O'Clock, when 4 number of the
older people left the boat, and 30 young
people were added to the brilliant circle as
sembled there enjoying the pretty move
ments of waltz.
\ return trip was made at II o'clock
and another at ! n. m, at which time one
of the most successful and enjoyable com
lnencement boat rides ever held came to a
close. Following are the committee who
had charge of the arrangements: F. l..

BROWNSVILLE TOPICS.
The New Depot-The Profits on the
LeConte Pear Crop.

The New Depot-The Profits on the
LeConte Pear Crop.
Townsville, Ga. Aug. 2S.-The dwell
ings anc other buildings, fencing, etc., are
being moved from the site to be occupied by
the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad
depot In this city, preparatory to the erec-
ton Of terminal buildings.
Work Is progressing at the other end Of
the line, and a force will soon be put on at
the Townsville end.
The returns for LeConAs pears are about
all IN. While the fruit did not realize the
high prices anticipated still, the aggregate
sum brought into the county 10 . large one.
II is estimated that the Thomas county
crop must have netted nearly 800, 900.
Some orchards did remarkably well, others
very little. Capt. E. NJ. Smith sold 81 200
worth Of pears from a place he tried to sell
would have taken 81, 500 if the same had
been offered
THE BLIGHT.
The blight. which did so much damage to
the pear trees last year, was very slight this
season. 1t was matter of comment among
pear growers that the orchards which suf-
fered most severely last year escaped
almost entirely this year, while
those that escaped last year were seriously
saw an orchard yesterday owned by T. E.
Blackshear, which apparently had been
about ruined last spring. This spring Mr..
Blackshear carefully cut out all the dead
limbs, and at the present time the trees are
perfectly healthy, having put on new
growth and shot out many vigorous young
branches. Mr.. Blackshear confidently ex-
poets a tremendous yield from these trees
next year.
The LeConte pear crop was badly
damaged this season, but not by blight. It
was the severe freeze in the spring.
GROWERS FEEL GOOD.
The feeling among pear men in this
county Is better than for two years past,
and many new orchards will be set out the
coming winter. 1t is also worthy of note
i'll this connection that while the LeConte
still holds first place, the Kieffer has grown
greatly i'll favor. The break in prices this
season was not due to any fault of the fruit,
but to the fact that nearly the entire crop
was rushed into the single city of New
York, which had heretofore always paid
the best prices. This caused a continuous
glut and depressed the market. Shippers
hereafter will be more careful to distribute
the crop. This will necessitate organiza-
tiop, and efforts are being made looking to
that end.
