economical administration OF the state and
federal governments.
1t is independent in all things, and does
not change its views through fear of losing
a few subscribers by advocating what it
knows to be right.

OTHER CROPS.

As various other crops upon which
we partially rely to support our farms
and families and in some instances for
money, have matured we have at least
found some comfort in the fact that the
yield per acre has not been below and
has been in many instances above an
average and that the general result in
dicates that we are fast progressing to
the good of southern agricultural indie
tendance if not prosperity.
Were each and every individual land
owner and tenant to resolve upon and
carry out policy that would render his
farm self sustaining it would go far,
without agreed cooperation towards
the solution of the much vexed and all
important problem the reduction Of the
cotton acreage.

ATLANTA, Dec. l, 1894

ATLANTA Dec. l, 1894
Since the November report the wealth
er has been favorable for the gathering
and moving of crops and work has pro-
crossed rapidly.
COTTON.
The continued decline in the price of
our great staple crop upon which we
have relied implicitly for the payment
of obligations to the factor and supply
merchant, is necessarily cause for de-
preston. But as stated in our last issue
we should learn lesson. and whatever
influences may be affecting the market,
be certain. by proper policy, that no
part OF the fault rests with us.
With the picking Of the crop we see
no reason to change our former est.
ties of the yield and adhere to the opin.
ion that it will little, if any, exceed
that of last year.
FROST.
Frost during the month came too late
to damage the crop in Middle and South
Georgia, but the farmer in North Geor-
gia, who had put his low lands in cot.
ton, suffered materially. and. even on
uplands where the land was rich and
the plant thrifty, the injury was severe
Especially was this the case where lands
had been replanted late in the spring or
the growth greatly retarded on account
OF the damaging frost Of that period.
A resume of the past season will not
be found uninteresting as it presents
several marked features. Soon after the
plant had begun to grow q cold spell
with frost came, which seemed through
out North Georgia and portions even Of
Middle Georgia to damage the crop al
most beyond repair. IF illustrations Of
the remarkable recuperative powers of
the plant were wanted none better could
be found.
At this period the prospect in the
northern portion Of the state was IT,
most unpromlslng ever reported to the
department On the contrary, south
ern Georgia, with fair stand, gave
promise of a good yield. With sunshine
and shower, however, in North Geor-
gia, the plant rapidly recovered from a
condition seemingly beyond repair Of
even the most propitious season, and
month after month brought reports of
an improved prospect throughout that
section.
On the other hand, the southern por-
ton of the state the crop suffered from
various vicissitudes of weather, plant
disease and destructive insects, wit
Messing each month a decline in condi-
ton until at the close Of the season Of
growth and picking began the outlook
for large yield could not be regarded
as favorable.

CROP ESTIMATES.

On the seed sent out by the depart
ment and on the policy of the depart
ment in the future in this regard, the
following appears in the report to the
governor:
Following the precedent of former
years, the department during the year
sent out number of select seed, en-
bracing some new and untried varieties.
The ACCESSIBILITY Of a general seed dis
tribution is, however, in our opinion, to
be questioned, and we are convinced
that more satisfactory results are to be
secured from agricultural publications
than from such distribution. The policy
of the department, therefore, for the
coming year will be to only send out
such seed which, not only in variety,
but in character, have hitherto not re-
ceived sufficient investigation in the
state. The work of the experiment farm
has largely done away with the necessi-
ty Of general seed distribution, as hore
variety test can be made with painstak,
ing care, which, by application, can be
had in the bulletins of the station"

Outing Parties,

Tenting, not on the old campground,
but along the sparklingly historic Fish
ingcreek, is now the proper caper for
the fastidious who care neither for
Greenland's icy mountains or swim
with the girls at the seashore. Up the
creek the more innocent and old fash
ioned diversions can be enjoyed with
out stint, let, or hindrance. We reter
to nude bathing, brushing mosquitoes,
getting sunburnt, fishing for luck and
drinking creek water and. Gypsie-like,
stealing the farmers fruit and roasting
ears. Though few of these soothing
and invigorating diversions may be
omitted according to taste or inclina.

strictly adhered to with view to max

Spare the Trees.

Woodman, spare the tree, touch
not single bough," is the pathetic cry
of "X," in the Daily; but Mayor
Drinker don't drink in the poetic SEN
timent so well expressed, somehow.
Instead of Oak Grove Park being an
elysian woodland emitting the cool and
inviting atmosphere in which the poets
are wont TO court the muses., the chief
officer of the town refers to it as "a
dirty hole" if not miasmatic bog,
whose title is not clear. If somebody
is right then sombody is wrong in the
different pen pictures drawn of Oak
Grove Park of Bloomsburg. Time no
doubt will tell where the mistake lies.
For our part we are most emphatic
ally in favor of preserving the grove.

GAN0GA LAKE.

Ever since the writer was boy he
has heard of Long Pond. 1t was then
considered quite the thing for people
to drive there from Towanda, the
home of Our boyhood. For the first
time in our life, however, it was our
privilege on Sunday last to gaze upon
the placid surface of this beautiful
sheet of water. In company with ex-
register and recorder c. II. Campbell,
and with landlord L. +. Howelps
horse and buggy we started from Jam
ison City at I.4s in the afternoon, and
stopped in front Of Ricketts, hotel in
less than two hours. We were greeted
cordially by Mr.. Frank Ricketts, and
his genial clerk, Charles Conner.
Eighty.one guests took dinner there
that day. Only about sixty can be
comfortably supplied with lodging.
Among the guests were Col. r. Bruce
Ricketts, of Wilkes Barre, and Gen. J.
P. S. Goblin of Lebanon. Down in
the woods near the lake very pretty
cabin has been erected by S. A. Good
hue and Will Ricketts,, and they spend
most Of their Sundays there, summer
and winter. They have row boats,
sail boats, an ice boat for winter, and
all the requisites for enjoyment, and
here right royalty do they entertain
their friends. Ganoga Lake is a
charming spot, and it is no won der
that more people flock there than can
be accommodated, but it is a wonder
that the capacity tor guests has not
ere this been very greatly increased.
With such attractions as are found at
many Of the summer resorts and with
large modern buildings, there would
be no more famous watering place
in the country than Ganoga Lake.

UNDERGROUND PROPHECY.

a Severe Storm.

On Thursday evening, July s6th, a
most terrific thunder storm prevailed
at Allentown. The same storm showed
its threatening face also at this point,
though no rain fell here. At Allen
town it rained about two hours, and it
was said to be the hardest storm they
had experienced there for many years.
Picnic parties that were caught in it
became panic stricken through fear of
the fierce and vivid lightning. Be.
sides other buildings which we're struck
by lightning, the county Jail received a
bolt that greatly startled the inmates,
among them being Grace Desmond,
who was suffering the penalty OF her
easy virtue, and Harry Johnson, who
is doomed to hang for drowning his
little daughter. This miserable pris-
oner was completely terrorized, think
ing the day of retribution had struck
him in order to cheat the gallows. 1t
was only spasmodic streak of light.
ming that struck the jail, eternal retri-
button will strike him later.

The music for the occasion was
furnished by Prof. c. P. Elwell's pop
ular orchestra, it being such as was
well calculated to bring dancers to
their feet whose steps kept time to
music's chime. Thus, and in pleasant
converse and social games, the time
passed sportlvely and cheerily until
refreshments were announced and
Literally served by the thoughtful and
obliging host, Mr.. l.. B. Howell who
had made ample arrangements for

excursions are really enjoyable others
are not, but really delightful time
was had upon this occasion.

About four o'clock on Friday morn
ing John Fortner discovered a fire at
the Greasy & Wells planning mill.
His prompt alarm and the immediate
onslaught made upon the fire in con-
sequence resulted in soon extinguish-
ing it. In response to the alarm
raised by whistles, &c, 6remen were
soon at hand and ready for the fray
if necessary. With but little effort on
the part of the fremen the flames
were extinguished before doing much
damage.

Twins and Triplets or Duets and Trios.

Where is the section that needs
population To that section we are
pleased to recommend Mrs. Theoret,
of Saint Genevieve, Canada. AT the
age Of 80 years she is the mother of
II little Theorets, having Just recently
given birth to trio, or triplets--if
"trio," signifying music in three
parts, is deemed an improper term.
This is the second time inside of FIVE
years that Mrs. Theoret has gotten
up a little surprise party of this kind
for her hard-working husband. All
her marital and musical efforts are
reported as resulting in duets and
trios, which of course accounts for the
II little Theorets referred to, and
referred to with all due respect and
best wishes for all concerned.
