Lafayette Visit in Georgia Traced Through Family Letters
A Civil War era genealogical fragment recalls Lafayette's Georgia visit with a private invitation to a ball at a chapel hall. The note preserves a long list of families and initials, mentions Dr Lancelot Johnston, and quotes a 1778 commission appointing him as regimental surgeon. It then catalogs queries from readers seeking lineage links to Telfair, Lane, Boone, Greene, Talbot, Harrison, Carroll, Stith, Cobb Lewis, Holliday, Inge Bullock, and other colonial lineages.

What is a perfect spacing and stand in cotton fields
A farmer should aim for a uniform perfect stand. Narrow rows and close spacing yield more, with 12 inch plant spacing often best in 4 foot rows. Close attention at plowing and hoeing is essential to prevent stand loss. The article argues near-square spacing increases yield and stresses careful hoeing.
