LeConte Fear Crop-Liberty County
the Home of the Mother Tree.
JOHNSTON, GA. March 10.-The damage
to the LeConte pear crop by the recent
freeze in this section will be slight From
the present outlook there will be a good
crop. Liberty county is the home of this
admirable fruit. The old mother tree,
which was imported from Japan by Mr. :.
LeConte Of this county many years ago,
still thrives. and bears fruit bountifuny
every year. This tree has never been known
to miss yielding a splendid crop. This shows
conclusively that our climate and soil is ad-
mirahly adapted to the culture of this va
riety of pears. The LeConte pear ripens
a month to six weeks earlier than the Kief-
fer aud other varieties. The citizens of our
county are awakening to the advantages
which our climate and soil afford in the pro-
duction Of so profitable and delicious fruit
and are putting out numerous groves.
p. II. Raiford Of this place has put out
nearly 400 LeConte pear trees this sprIng.
Shipments of LeConte pears to northern
markets begins to goforward the latter part
of June long before any fruit in the north
ern states ripen, hence splendid market.

A Remarked le Successful Fortune
Teller-People in Print.

40AASL-I 6ODAe III
WAYCRoss, GA, March 1O.-There is an
old mulatto woman in this place who is 80
years Of age, and tells fortunes. Almost
any day she m0y be seen on the streets
with a large willow basket on her arm
What that basket contains no one has yet
been able to discover. This old woman has
a remarkable influence over some OF the
negroes on account Of her wonderful power
as fortune teller. They regard her as
having power with the devil to bring bad
luck to those who do not treat her right.
1t is said that il any one attempts to ridi-
Guile the old bag, she mutters something
weird and uninrelllgible and then curses
the offender with some bad misfortune
The victim of her curse finds the tuldllment
Of the misfortune force old sooner or later.
One superstitous old negro says that
he believes there are strange herbs in the
old wom6n's basket and that when she gets
mad she shakes the basket, which stirs up
the herbs, aud then the work of evil fulfill
ment begins, 1t is said that at one time a
negro man made her mad and she shook her
basket at him and told him that he would
hang on the gallows in less than two years.
The story goes that in nine months from
that day the negro was hanged for horri-
bic murder aud the old woman was present
to see him hang. There is no negro who
knows her who will dare to insult her. A
few days ago she was missed from the
streets, and it ia supposed that she is sick.
However strange her influence for evil
toward her enemies, it is nevertheless, true
that she foretells good fortune in most
cases.
What has become Of the board Of trade?"
That question was asked Of business man
to-day. The reply was that for several
months the members have taken but little
Interest IN the board and Ii has no meetings
now. Waycross is growing in commercial
Importance and has population of over
5000 people and it Is important that the
city should have live board Of trade.
The Rev Dr. Pierson preached to large
audience last night on "Unbelief" There
were several conversions.
The county commissioners have, at the
request OF the city council, granted to the
city Of Waycross the privilege OF using as
many Of the county's convicts as may be
| needed, free of charge.
At an important meeting of the water
works commissioners last Tuesday it was
| decided that more piping should be bought
and that the water mains should be ex-
tended as far as necessary for the present.
The city is extending the electric light
system in different parts of the place. No
town in the state of the size of Waycross
has better electric light system.
A banquet was given last night in honor
of James Knox, Jr., aud bride at the
armory of the WaYcross Rifles.
Rev. Herbert Myers is spending few
days in the city with friends.

MCRAE, GA. March 10.--The population
of McRae is about l 900. Her citizens rep
resent something like $780, 900 worth of
property. When the East Tennessee, Vir-
GINA and Georgia railroad went through
this pare OF the state land was given for the
benefits of a full station. The town is char
tered and the road running through its in~
corporation q miles. Since the Savannah,
Americas and Montgomery road crossed at
Helena, one mile NJ rth of the McRae depot,
they have made that the station aud McRae

have demonstrated with the road but its
officials have paid no attention, and now
McRae has resolved to have a change. A
nesting will be called at once, and It is
thought that they will sue for damages or
pass an ordinance to allow no trains. local

Speculation as to the Probable Dam
age to Crops.

age to Crops.
DIXIE, GA, March 10.-There is a diver
sity Of opinion among our fruit growers as
to the effect of the late "cold snap" on the
pear crop. Some are inclined to think that
it ruined the entire crop, while others think
it may have been benefit. Your COR
respondent met the Rev Mr.. Holmes in
town yesterday, who is one Of the largest
pear growers Of Brooks county, and who
gave it as his opinion that the pear crop
had been greatly benefited by the
cold spell. He said that the
trees were 80 heavily loaded
with young fruit, that had it not been for
the cold snap the trees could not have ma
tured their burdens. But now, as it is.
there will be plenty TO mature a magnificent
crop of fully developed and well-havored
fruit. 1t is generally conceded that the
peach crop Of Brooks will be failure.
EARLY spring gardens have suffered no
little, and were killed out entirely in some
instances. There is considerable inquiry
for more vegetable seeds to plant
gardens over. Very little corn was up,
and the complaint against damage to that
crop is light.

They We're Well Deserved, But They
Were Severe and Crushing.
From the Irish Times
A courteous reproof is far more to be
dreaded than the toughest outburst Of in
science. Such one was once addressed TO
young rector who had been reared under
the highest of church doctrines. and who
held that clergymen Of all other denomina-
tions are without authority, and not enti-
tied TO be called ministers of the gospel.
One evening, at a social gathering, he was
introduced to Baptist clergyman.
He greeted the elder man with much
manner and ostentation. Sir be said II
am glad to shake hands with you as a
gentleman, though l cannot admit that you
are clergyman" There was a moments
pause, and then the other said, with a quiet
significance that made the words he left I'M
said emphatic-"SIr, 1 am CAD TO shake
hands with you-as a clergyman"
Another story Of this sort concerns the
Prince Of Wales. He once had favorite
tailor named Smith, let US say, who was
rather given to emulatinR the airs and
graces OF his noble patrons. and on one oc-
cesiun Mr.. Smith managed to get an invi-
tAtion out to an aristocratio function
through the medium of a rich customer.
Tee prince, hearing that bis fashionable
tailor was one of those present on the oc-
casion, asked him a day or two after ward =,
while being fitted for suit OF clothes, what
he thought Of the company at the enter
taiument.
Assuming an air Of ruffled dignity, Mr..
Smith replied: "Well, little mixed, your
royal highness, a little mixed" ''Ahp
archly replied the prince, 1--WE cannot all be
