WIDOWS OF CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS.

Widows of Confederate soldiers
who died while in the service, or fIom
the effects of wounds received, or
from disease contracted, in the SER
vice, will receive each a pension of
800 a year from the state of Geor.
gia.
The law granting this pension was
passed by the legislature in accordance
with an amendment to the state con-
stitution that was ratified by vote
of the people last October.
The law becomes operative on the
18th of February next, but it is not
likely that the money can be paid
before the LIST. of April.
Of course application must be made
in regular form, through the ordinary
of the county in which the widow ap>
plying lives.
Then satisfactory proof must be SUBJ
mitted, showing that the applicant is
truly widow of Confederate SOL
der. that her husband died in the
service, or from wounds or disease
received or contracted in the service.
1t has been published that all wild
ows of Confederate soldiers are en-
titled to the pension, but this is not
true. The first paragraph of this
article substantially gives the pro-
vision of the law.
The friends of Terrell widows who
are entitled to the pension should
assist them in procuring necessary
proof, and in making the application
| in due form.

There are not houses enough in

There is not house tor rent in the

Which being the case, they should

believe, that uncultivated and unpro-

PEcABS GROWING

Southwest Georgia, says the Ameri>
Gus Recorder, is especially adarted to
raising pecans, as the trees grow read
lily and large crops ofnuts are gather
ed every year. 1t is a profitable crop,
too, while the tree requires little care.
A writer in the Constitution gives
some interesting points about these
nuts, as follows:
Permit We to suggest to YOU some.
to my mind, good points for the real
good of the old state of Georgia.
would be gratifed that you take them
and give them to the public At large.
"Pecans can be raised almost in
every county in Georgia. Suppose
every farmer in Fulton county should
plant 100 Oceans and also 200 black
salnuts. OF the latter, in my own
yard in this city, We have a tree that
We hare been eating walnuts from
for three years past. 1t was planted.
that is the seed, 10 1874. Over two
bushels were gathered this year
What eau be done with one tree
can be done with 900, besides the
timber in time will be OF great val
ue.
81 recently had a tP'k with Hon.
W. A. H1rris of WpFth county, who
rold me that MS mother had peclps
growing on her place, Of such a fine
quality that she could sell them at 90
cents per pound. He tells me that
the way 20 plant the pecans is to plant
the sharp end up. Prior to planting
they are put in warm water for about
two hours. They should be planted
about fifteen feet apart. The black
walnut can be done the same way,
but the distance should be not less
than twenty to twenty-five feet.
Now, it you can only get the ALI
ancemen to take it up and commence
at once to plant pecans and walnuts in
every county in the State it will take
but little time and almost no cost,
and the amount that will be realized
in the next quarter Of a cen
fury will, in my estimation, run into
the millions"
Judge j. II. Query recently re-
ceived quantity ola very fine varie
ty.ofpecans nuts, which he has planted
on his lot in this city. He is salts
fed that pecans can be successfully
grown here, and is going to give this
matter a thorough trial.
