Kditor Lancaster News: Our city has had a number of Lu religious revivals recently aud as a result numbers of new mem. bers have been received iuto the different churches and great good has been accomplished. The ' First Methodist church was the first to hold a revival this year and the regular pastor, who is . one of the ablest preachers we have ever heard, did all the preaching. They had a very line meetiug. The meeting at the ^ Fir^t Baptist church closed only fa few days ago. Dr. Truitt, of Texas, who is sometimes called the "Spurgeon of the South," did most of the preaching. His l ? sermons were very fine. Nothl ing sensational or amusing J throughout his eutire series of | * -crmoug, but plain gospel preachI 1 ing in au,earnest, graceful man. I r ner. Intjompany with three gentlemen of this city, we had the pleasure of an automobile trip to Fort Valley recently, a distance \ of ahout thirty 'miles from here. It was an ideal afternoon for such a trip. The roads were in fine oondition, and traveling j through an agricultural aud peach section which is tamed tor ^ its abundaut crops, aud with a very congenial party, the trip was very pleasant indeed. Farm lands along the way range in price from ten dollars to twenty^five dollars per aare. Of course the high priced farms, some cf them, are made more valuable by reason ol the large numbers . of peach trees growing on them, hut there are many valuable iarm6, Irom an agricultural >4 Vf ,:.4f standpoint alone. We noticed many beautiful fields of small < grain, both wheat and oats. Many of the farmers attribute the fine condition of the grain largely to the late application ot f nitrate of soda, which is now used a great deal as a late fertilizer for grain. Our attention was also attracted to the very large, level fields, beiug prepared )' for corn and cotton. Don't think we ever saw farm lands in better condition, having been prepared with the latest improved implements. The farmers have about finished planting corn, at f this writing, and are taking ad' 4 f vantage of the line weather this week, plauting cotton. The recent advance in the price of cotton to 10 cents caused I thousands ot bales to be thrown1 on the market and we have expected a sharp decline as a result, but the price holds up well. Maiiy farmers are anxious to sell at this price for delivery next fall, but New York contracts have not reached a price that will warrant 10 cents for good middling cotton next tall, yet I, * The party who tried okra growing as an experiment last year, and about which we have written before, has decided to go i into the business on a large scale . and expects to start a paper mill in Macon, provided be can in V duee the farmers of this section \ to plant okra enough to produce W a yield sufficient to warrant the " operation of a mill here.
