a thriving settlement in Putnam county,
on the Georgia, Southern and F'lori-
da, fifteen miles distant from Palat-
ka, stands as a monument to in
dustry. What was less than six months
ago barren prairie, the only signs of
life being the occasional appear
ance of a drove of ducks or other water
birds, is now a village of enterprise. thrift
and industry, and these barren lands have
been converted into fertile fields, practi-
cally cultivated, which goes to show the
presence of hands which know nothing
but success. This change is the result of
drainage. The Etoniah prairie was a
marsh similar to Paine's prairie near this
city, but through the energy of the Eto-
niah Drainage and Canal Company the
prairie has been relieved of all the water,
which for fertility cannot be excelled in
the state. About one hundred families,
from every section of the Union have pur-
chased lands and erected neat substan-
tial residences and business houses, and
union church has also been erected. A
scene of general activity prevails, and this
is destined to become the most progressive
settlement in Putnam county.

COTTON.

The cotton market showed more strength
during the past week than it has at any
one period this season. Prices moved
steadily upward, bringing the closing to-
day to the best of the season. while the
receipts begun to increase early in the
week, the total running the receipts for
the season up considerably. The receipts
for the week were IS, 42S bales upland, and
1850 bags sea island, which makes the re-
ceipts this season S5S, 1856 bales, against 962 =
S2 bales for the corresponding period of
last season. From this IL will be seen Sa-
vannah is only about 10000 bales behind
last season. The stock to-day was $780,
73S bales. There is a difference of opin-
ion as to the probable turn of the market

EARLY DAYS IN WARE COUNTY.
Judge Butler Gives Some of His
"Reminiscences.


Waycross, Ga. Feb. 16.--Judge Jesse f.
Butler of Waycross talks interestingly of
his early experience in this county. He
was one Of the pioneers to Ware and set
tied in Waresboro in 1851. AS he rode up
to the barroom he saw six or eight men
ready for business. In few minutes a
free-for-all fight was on. Such little Incl
dents were of frequent occurrence, al
though the people were generally peace
able and we'll disposed.
At that time Waresboro was a struggling
village, the county seat of Ware county.
II had an old wooden court house and jail
a bar-room and two log stores (both of
which sold whisky, a log boarding house
and three families. School facilities were
not of the highest order, although read
in, 'ritn' and 'rithmetic" were taught in
the Court House, and probably once every
month the circuit rider came around to
hold meetin' in the temple of justice. Court
was held twice a year. This was always
an epoch in the history OF, the town. The
county was sparsely settled, your nearest
neighbor being sometimes ten miles away
Notwithstanding the difficulties experience
ed in attending court, large crowds were
always present, people riding as much as
forty miles to get there. They would
camp out around the Court House, passing
the time by telling yarns. swapping horses
wrestling, running. jumping. etc. The
villagers would mingle with their visitors
and make the time pass as pleasantly as
possible
In those days, says Mr.. Butler, the peo-
pie nearly all raised cattle and the far
mers lived like lords. The average farmer
had forty to fifty head of cattle, and Mr.
Hargroves had from 5000 to 1900.
