The Atlanta Constitution, Atlanta, GA, March 2, 1875 The State Agricultural Convention. The State Agricultural Convention was held last week at Thomasville. The attendance was large and the proceedings marked with interest. From the Thomasville Times we glean many interesting facts about the meeting. Mayor Hansell delivered the address of welcome, in his handsome and terse style. General Colquitt's opening address was replete with sound sense, practical suggestions and the most enlarged and thorough views as connected with the progress and future of the State Agricultural Society over which he has so ably presided ever since the organization of the society. Prof. E. M. Pendleton, of the State Agricultural College, read his third series of reports upon the experimental farm at Athens, which is under the control of, and conducted by the State Agricultural College. This able and exhaustive report was listened to with the closest attention by all, who receive many valuable hints as to the manner and mode of culture, kind and quantity of fertilizers, together with many other eminently practical suggestions, which, if carried out, must and will prove a great benefit and saving to the agricultural classes of Georgia. The Pastoral Ode, by Col. J. A. Stewart, of Atlanta, was a most happy and felicitous piece of composition, containing much which should be remembered by husband-men and house-wives. Some of his hits were decidedly apropos, and brought down the house. Prof. H. O. White of Athens, delivered an able address; giving the analysis of wheat, and pine straws, peas and fertilizers, fully sustaining his reputation as a scientist. Prof. W. LeRoy Broun delivered his lecture on the "Supposed influences of the moon on vegetable and minimal life." The well known reputation of Prof. Broun, together with the interesting subject drew a packed house, among whom, [unreadable] the preceding day; were a large number of ladies. The learned gentleman in an easy flowing style, proceeded with his subject, clearly demonstrating that the tickle goddess of night, really and in fact exerted no influence upon animal and vegetable life. Many old theories were exploded as the sharp, glittering blade of science flashed and cut away theories which have long been held in common by a large portion of the civilized world. As the professor proceeded with his lecture, applying strict scientific rules to all supposed influences of pale luna, one after another collapsed and evaporated. However, frequent shakes of the head indicated that many still held that they thought it best to plant in the moon instead of the ground. Dr. W. L. Jones of Athens delivered an interesting address on the value of the cotton plant, as a fertilizer. This scholarly and searching production challenged the closest attention of the convention, and demonstrated that Dr. Jones knew exactly what he was discussing. Much valuable and useful information was contained in the report. Dr. E. C. Hood of Columbus delivered an address on "Green Fertilizers." Dr. Hood's lecture like all the others, was listened to with the closest attention. The planters of Georgia are largely indebted to this distinguished gentleman for his scientific researches and experiments. R. H. Hardaway, of Thomasville, read an essay on "Gardening." No paper elicited more attention or was received with greater satisfaction. Rev. D. E. Butler said that there need be no further efforts made to find the original garden of Eden, that it was undoubtedly in Thomas county. The convention by a rising vote testified their deep appreciation of Judge Hardaway's address. Mrs. Hardaway made mention in his paper of Mrs. Julia Mitchell and the Misses Bowman, of Thomas, for successful farming. The ladies mentioned honored the convention by standing up and created great applause. Dalton was fixed upon as the next place of meeting. Prof. George Little, State Geologist, was invited to deliver a lecture at the next semi-annual meeting of the convention on geology, in connection with the agricultural interests in Georgia. On the report of the executive committee was read announcing that the next state fair would be held in the city of Macon, commencing on Monday, October 18th and continue fiv days. The fair will be under the exclusive control and management of the state society. Mr. James Davison of Green, offered the following resolution which was adopted after some little discussion: Whereas, since our meeting in August last, the Department of Agriculture of the State of Georgia, in compliance with an act passed by the last legislature, has been established, by his excellency James M. Smith, Governor of Georgia, appointment Dr. Thomas P. Janes to the office of Commissioner of Agriculture, who has fully organized the department, and has it not in working order, therefore. Resolved, That this convention congratulate the farmers of Georgia upon our State having taken important steps for their benefit, and we earnestly recommend every one ot foster, encourage and assist the department in its efforts to promote the agriculture of Georgia. Resolved, That we are gratified at the zeal and efficiency of Dr. Janes in the discharge of his official duties. We recognize, already, the value of the department, giving promise of very great and very important assistance to the tilles of the soil. Resolved, That we return thanks to the Commissioner of agriculture, for his zeal in the cause of husbandry; for urging the farmers of Georgia to pursue a sustaining home policy, and giving formulas for compounding cheap home made manures; for the valuable information given in his annual report and the circulars from his department, and especially for his rigid enforcement of the laws relating to the inspection and sale of fertilizers. Gen. W. M. Browne offered the following resolution which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the members of this convention acknowledge with heartfelt gratitude the generous hospitality and considerate attention which have been extended to us by the citizens of Thomasville during our stay in their city, and that we severally bear with us to our respective homes an appreciation and lasting recollection of the many evidences of friendship and goodwill which we have received at their hands. Gorman, who is now a granger, and inclined to join the Baptists, was in attendance. He had his locks curled with cuckle burs, and sprinkled with hay seed, giving him quite a unique appearance. In short, Gorman is a full blooded granger, and is looking for some girl who wears homespun dresses and thoroughly understands the culinary department of a saw mill. Triplett, the incorrigible and ubiquitous Triplett of the Times, was everywhere, his genial face rippling over with smiles and beaming with good humor. Thomasville acquitted herself most nobly in the entertainment of the delegates to the Convention. Every one seemed to exert themselves to make the stay of members of the convention pleasant and agreeable. To the ladies of Thomasville much credit is due, for surely they have contributed in no small degree to his happy result.

Bert, There is a book called ANTEBELLUM THOMAS COUNTY 1825-1861 and the author is William Warren Rogers. There is a photograph of John William Henry Mitchell as well as his father Nathaniel R. Mitchell. You can most likely see a copy of the book at the genealogy library or public library in Thomasville, Georgia. The historic society may have one as well. I think they sold copies at one time. I know the historic society has a collection of old photographs and may be able to find one on Julia Ann Johnson Mitchell and the son Nathaniel Raines Mitchell. They may also be able to direct you to photos of the graves. I am also researching this line. How are you connected? I would love to email you about this family!

I believe you just helped me solve a mystery that I've been working on for quite awhile. Mary Jane and Henry were married in Thomas County, but quite a few of their children were born in Texas. I couldn't find out where and I've been trying to figure out why they would have moved to Texas. Mary Jane is in the 1900 census for Thomas County, Georgia again (listed as a widow). My grandfather Henry Martin Peacock was born February 22, 1881 (a few months after Henry Peacock passed away) in Thomas County, Georgia I would love to share whatever info I have that you would be interested in. I am very interested in the information that you have for this branch of the family.
