Smith, of the Pikeville section, and Miss Ophelia Gardner, the amiable daughter of Mr. Joeiah W. Gardner. Thx Akqvs wishes this excellent yonng couple, who begin life together under the most favorable auspices, all happi nessanu prosperity. Ana, by-tne- wtv, as one of the innumerable and ubiquitous family of "Smith" figures in this happy event, it would, per haps, be of interest to our numerous readers to learn tbat-bf makes the 40th Smith that Elder Hill has married since becoming a minister and the Elder is not a very old man, either, and, being bale and hearty, is destined to officiate at many more "matrimonial occasions.'' In fact, it might be of interest to state farther or allege, toat our cental inend Elder Hill is rather partial towards the Smith family, "seeing as how," his good wife, Mrs. Hill, was nee a Smith.

"Dtar Jrtnti: Refreshing showers have pat in their appearance at last, in consequence of which the farmers 00k more bopefuL Many nave post poned the planting of cott6n for five weeks on account of a continued drouth. It is feared that it is too late to get a good crop of Sealsland sttple. It requires a much longer season for its maturity than the short staple the kind crown in North Carolina. This Sea Island is the finest staple I have ever seen, and commands about three. times the price of the short 10 any market selling at present for about 25 cents per pound. Until quite recently it was not known that it could be cultivated prontabiy m this section, but at present about 30 counties, of South Georgia depend upon it for their money crop. The fanners are enthusiastic and are de termined to make it a great source of wealth as the forests are cleared awar. The cost of cultivating a crop of this cotton is but little more than the short, except as to chopping or thinning and cleaning the row. This operation requires time1 and great care, as nearly every plant that is barked or bruised dies sooner or later, often after it has begun t fruit Hoes are something entirely discarded and the .work 1$ .done by hand. The farmers realize all the way from $40 to $7 per acre, twor tmras 01 wnicn is ciear 01 expenses. It of ten reaches (he height of g and 9 feet, bat is notaa rigorous a growth as the short cotton. The 'fruit iq scattered, along the limbs and seems to be much smaller than follv de veloped short cotton.. A special gin is used to separate the lint from the seed, consisting of two long knives which pass near each other in rapid succession, pressing the seed out slowly without breaking, or other wise inioring the staple. The com mon saw gin cuts and breaks the fine fibre of the silken-like staple, and largely ' destroys its market value. Thj seed of the genuine Sea Island are small, black and nearly smooth, and rattle like peas when thrown about . They are sown in rows from 4 to 6 feet apart and hen thinned. Sometimes, the e'iJrbppta in checks 8x4 feet ' - , Sooth Georgia is the finest tim bered seCtlon-Iever sawr-0nl small patches and small farms are cleared, and hence most of the land is covered with its original , long leaf pine of the finest quality, which forms the entire growth except here and there a cypress slash or a gum pond. The rivers-and larger streams form the only exception to the. above rule. In and near these may be seen extensive areas partially stud died with the famous lire-oak, Msg nolia, and e few scrubby black-jack and water oak. The cypress grows in every swamp and slash. The pine is utilised in a nnmber of ways. - It is first tapped for gum (turpentine) which is so valuable for its spirits. The trees are usually worked about 7 years. They are then converted into lumber and shipped. This i -to be the biggest business here Ut some years to come. Extensive mill are being erected in every section and sending out tbOr tramways an J railroad! ia every direction. Capital is pouring in from every direction and buying the timber even before the turpentine men are through with it Railroads, timber ways and trams, mills and ; lumbering, are all out can hear in Uiese parts. While ridinar for Ions- diitanoea thron?b this fine timber I have often thou eh t how Goldsboro's progressive timber and mill men would make things "bustle" if they were hre. jn tbe midst of so much material . I am persuaded that if tbev were to pros pect a little through 8ouh Georgia they would invest A Michigan mill man a million aire is now busily engaged erecting one 01 the largest mills in the State, in this county, (Coffee) on the line of the East Tennessee Virginia & Georgia Railroad. The millwill be ready to begin operations in Septem ber next and will turn ont several hundred thousand feet per day. The tram cars will bring the logs along side of an artificial lake in which they will float until they are needed for use. This lake is and will be supplied with water from an artesian well opened for this especial pur pose. It is a most convenient arrange ment for any else or length needed for a definite purpose can be floated, to the mills at once and with ease, besides the water will preserve the timber. All this timbered land is bought and sold by the - lot 490 acres. Ten years ago these lots were often sold for taxes, there be ing but little demand for either land or timber. The same lots which then sold for $5 or $10, now sell readily for $800 to $1,000 and are much in demand. Hundreds of-these old "wire- grassers," who happened to fall in possession of large bodies of these timbered lands, hare grown inde pendent without skill or effort they have had wealth "throat upon them.", But they don't realise it and but few of them will even enjoy life more on account of it With wealth has come the desire for its increase inatead of its comforts and they are hoarding. There are three chances of wealth in sight for erery acre of this land: 1st the gum and spir its; 2nd, the timber and tar, 3rd, the long cotton after the timber has been used. Though once thought to be valueless, this wire-grass section j will some day be a flourishing agri cultural section. I am glad to see the name of Mr. C. B. Aycock so favorably mentioned for Congress from the old Third. The man who so nobly met and ran quished O. J. Spears and all his motly crewi-anu "lewed men of the baser sort ' would be no mean ltep- resentatire. Ant man who tackles him will find a "foeman worthy of his steel, ' let him be old or yonng.
