One member of the Legislature
paid out 800 for two days sleigh
riding this week. So he says.-CGr-
son (Ne0Gda) Appeal.
It is strange how much money
some Legislators can save on a $3.50
salary. Cases have been known where
they have been able to accumulate
from $15, 900 to $40, 900 out of it.
Of course this was the result of close
attention to business and the strictest
economy. A Congressman, upon be-
ing asked how he managed to build a
$50, 600 house, take a trip to Europe,
dress his family like princes, and all
on one term, replied that he did it by
discharging the hired girl and close
economy. Some men are born fnan.

Everything is propitious for better
times in Georgia this year. The in
dications are that there will be grain
enough raised to supply her wants,
and cotton will not be so largely
planted as formerly, diversified crops
taking its place. If our fruit crop is
not injured by late frosts, Middle
Georgia will be solid by next Christ
mas.-Gri6fR San.
In our judment, the trouble in
Georgia has not grown out of plant
ing too much cotton, but out of the
neglect of provision crops. It is pos
sible for the farmers to raise their
usual number of bales of cotton and,
at the same time, produce their own
supplies. If is not true that either
must be neglected to attain theother.
A great deal of time is wasted on most
of the farms in the State. By devot-
ing it to raising grain, sugar-cane,
mules, cows, hogs, sheep, ETC., the
farm will become self-sustaining, and
the big cotton crop will cease to worry
press or people.-Macon Telegraph.
