KAI:, GA., Dec. 28, 1000. Di; A lt <)!.!> INTKI.I.IOKNCCU: I will attempt to give your many readers a few dots from South Georgia. Christmas, with its many tender memories, is fast waning, and by tho time your many readers are gazing upon this, the New Year, with its new vows, new energies and with the hum of business will be rushing madly on. Christmas bore has been just about like any where else in this South laud of ours. The social gatherings, Christ mas trees and last, but not least with many of the piney-woodsmen, tho much-noted little brown jug, and just here let me say something in favor of the South Carolina dispensary. This County is a prohibition County, and there has been more intoxicating liquor drank, and a goodly part of it sold hero in town under the eye of the police in tho past week than has been sold and drank in Anderson County (I hope) in tho past month. Well, your humble scribe has been here about a month and havo done lit tle else than look around the country; as tho genuine cracker says: 'Mist Bpecting about, sir." This is every body's country. It hasn't been settled but about 20 years. The population of Tolfair County, the ono I am writing from, according to the last census, is 12,000. The people are from almost every State in the Union. Though I believe theSouth Carolinians are in the majority. This is a fine country for a poor man. Lands that will produce from 15 to 25 bushels of corn and from 700 to 1,000 pounds of cotton per acre, can bo had for $2 per aero on up to $15 and $25. Just owing to the improvements and thu distance from town. Some farmers hero mako good crops but tho most of them are satisfied in making a living justas easy as they can and with just as little work IIB possible. A Mr. Harris, formerly of Edgefield, S. C., made GS bales of cotton and 900 bushels corn with 2 mules. How does that sound to an Anderson County farmer that is used to harvesting G bales cotton and 50 bushels corn to tho plow? This is a- great country for cattle raising. They have no Btock ?aw here. Tho farmer fences his crops and the cattle run at large. Tho winters here aro so mild that good grazing for sheep, cows, horses, &c... all tho year round. 1 have seen moro sheep and cows hero than ono could see in upper Carolinia n a year. There aro hogs by tho hun dred, but of such miserable breed that they aro almost worthless. Tho turpentine and lumber business has about played out in this section, only about 4 or 5 distilleries in this County, and a saw mill hero only saws for the local trado. The old tram rail roads can bo seen here and there with tho iron moved away, tho old ties de caying, shows that tho lumber sharks have seen prosperous days. Wishing you and all Andersonians a happy New Year, I am EPL?RIB?S UNITM. - A woman's letter always contains four things she has heard for every one sho knows. 8 PEC I VL NOTICE to these who owe me for Stoves bought 2 and S y taro ago, must corns In and nettle at onoe or risk consequence?.
