A BEADING RESTAURANT.

Among the various enterprises of this
city the restaurant of i. G. Bonner is
one of the most successful. From n
small beginning few years ago Mr.. Bon
ner has built up a splendid business aud
now his establishment is perhaps the
most complete of any of like kind in
Southwest Virginia. Sometime ago Mr..
Bonner enlarged his dining room in order
to meet the demand made upon his popu.
lar place and now to be prepared for the
increased trade, which should justly go to
him, he has added complete bakery and
employed thoroughly capable and ex-
perienced baker from Philadelphia to
take charge of this department. A new
steam table has also been aided, beside
various other Improvements, making
every complete and satisfactory outfit.
This restaurant is located at 13 Salem
avenue, in the heart of the business CEN

will find n service and accommodations
unsurpassed in the city.

OVER IN GEORGIA.
How They E'o Over the River
Fifty Bushels of Corn to the
Acre, Etc.-Gus Glover
in Georgia.

III GeOrSld.
Mr.. EDITOR: [ have wanted to
write ever since my arrival, but
have had grippe for two weeks, and
am only just able 10 be up now.
am delighted with my new
home. and I have fallen amongst
q people who work thirteen months
in a year and are prosperous. |
am just six miles south of Au-
gusta on what is known as the
Milledgeville road. The land is
level, but not as strong naturally
as the land around Edgefeld. II
is susceptible, however, of the
highest improvement. Being loose
and active, by liberal application
of manure, it can in short time
be brought up to fifty bushels of
corn and a bale of cotton per acre.
One thing I notice, and I believe if
the plan was adopted by. the farm
ers of Edgefeld would result adj
vantageously to them, and in
crease the yield of crops 20 per
cent. II is this: The farmers of
this section plow up their land in
December just as deepas they can;
the land is now being bedded and
manure put in for corn.
I find very little guano used, but
stable manure and peas i'll ahund-
ance. / have one neigbbor who
pays his hands SIS per month to
haul manure from Augusta, six
miles, besides he pays 25 cents per
load for pine straw, which he' ef-
changes for his manure, and Re-I
claims that it pays him. The re-
suit is the highest evidence that It
does. Last summer I drove by his
farm, and saw corn that good
Judges said would make seventy
bushels per acre. Another thing
impresses me is that the farms are
small, fifty and one hundred acres
each, aud owned and worked by
white people. What they call or
dlnary land here sells for $25 or
$50 per acre, and runs up to 500.
The people enjoy most exec lent
school advantages, which are run
nine months free. There is u
splendid one in quarter of mile
of me.
Now, Mr.. Editor, I want to say
just one word about the public
roads. have often heard of Rich
mond's goodIroads and they GER
tainly come up to reputation. They
are worked by the county chain
gang under supervision of COM
petent man who receives $50 per
month for his services. There are.
no overseers as we have, Ter do
the hands work SO many days as
we do, but each male citizer; is tax
cd for the purpose-this isa spe-
cial tax. They have crushed rosks
thrown up in the middle and dirt
placed over it, forming an o7al,
after which a huge iron rolle, ia
run over it to smooth and pack II.
Of course there are bitches IN
either side. 1t would pay SupF-
visor Talbert to come over andl',-
spect them. I honestly believe TIE
people. save more money from we:
of vehicles in one year than it
costs them to have the roads work
ed.
I am grieved to know of the
death of 30 many of my friends in
Edgefeld, and trust that "It lS.
we'll with their souls" G..
