A Small Pigs Excursion.
[Perry (Ga.) Journal.1

IFCFTY IUH.J j 0urnuI.
One day last week u small pig trotted
into Perry under the buggy of Mr.. Quilla
Leaptrot, and when that gentleman started
home in the afternoon the pig trotted along
under the buggy on the return trip. The
pig began his journey at the farm of Mr.
w. W. Wagnon, in the lower Eleventh dis
trict, and stopped near there when he re-
turned. The distance travelled is thirty
two miles-sixteen to Perry and sixteen re-
t%urning-and the pig was in sight of the
buggy during the entire Tip. More than
one stream WAS crossed, and in crossing
one Of these the pig was obliged to swim
at least one hundred feet.

A Few Words Regarding the Productive
Capacity of the Soil.

A Few Words Regarding the Productive
Capacity of the Soil.
Before estimating upon the prospect
i've yield of a location some considera-
ton must be given that which the crops
will take from the soil and the amount
of fertilizing material necessary for Sc
curing the results desired. There are
sections in which two, and even three,
crops may be grown in one year upon
the same soil, nor is it a difficult matter
to grow two crops in nearly all por-
tons of the United States. provided the
soil is rendered capable of outstanding
the double taxation upon it. We eften
hear of the exhaustion Of the soil. Such
a term should become obsolete. True
scientific agriculture does not admit OF
soil exhaustion. Progress is the order
of the dav, and he who undertakes
farming without determining to have
each succeeding year witness his soil in
crease in fertility, nc matter what kind
of crops are grown, will have some-
thing to learn in regard to his calling.
In tie use of a piece of land we have
the advantage Of the material upon
which to operate. If we take from it
we must add to it. 1t is only the agent
for our use, and can only be expected
to produce by changing the complexion
and character of the substances given it
for the purposes desired. Hence, we
NAV GROW an early crop of some quick
" maturing plants, to be followed by
those that may be planted later in the
season. And by good cultivation and
the systematic use of fertilizlng food
there is no limit known as yet regard
ING the productive capacity of the soil.

There Shall Be no Alps.

When Napoleon talked of invading Italy
one of his officers said: "But, sire, remem-
Der the Alps" To an ordinary man these
would have seemed simply insurmounta-
b2le e but Napoleon responded eagerly:

ABOUT FERTILIZERS.

"n.ase of Growing Root Crops In
Rotation After Wheat,
In order to know what fcrtilizinc Ms.
eerlals to use for crops on our soils. wa
must know what ingredients of plant
1000 are deficient, and what manures
VIII best supply them. If any of the es-
sehtlal ingredients of plant-food be
lacking, the crop will fail, and if in linn
''ea quantity the crop will correspond in
amount. An idea of the essential in
gradients of plant food removed from
the soil in cropping may be obtained
from the following table:

PRESCOTT AHEAD!
PROGRESSIVE, WlDE-AWAKE TOWN, AHEAD OF ALL HER
 SISTER TOWNS.

Facts are said to be stubborn things and in thls article about Prescottt, we shall therefore be compelled to indulge in eonsidera- ble of this kind of stubbornness.
 Yes, Prescott is Heading the van" in Southwest Arkansas, but that is what she has always strly- an to do, and don't propose to stop now.
 Now. for those facts to prove and substantiate what we say, and here they are:
 1st. Prescott always pays the highest market price for cotton, very often a half cent ahead of her sister towns, and almost on par with St. Louis. And how cap she afford this? Well, simply in this way our wide-awake merchants are the principal buyers, and they pay these prices to draw trade, for cotton always brings it. And lowest prices rule for all kinds of goods, with them.
 2nd. The town is building up in a solid. substantial way. Four new brick business houses erected within the past few months, and new residences and additions to residences, being erected continu- ally. These things prove the first proposition,
 3rd. Up to Saturday night our cotton receipts amounted to 600 bales. All points on the Iron Mountain sent in receipts to that time, and Prescott was a hundred bales ahead of any other town be tween Texarkana and Little Rock. This is the strongest proof of all. Hurrah for Prescott v!
 Now, to close, we say 10 farmers in the three or four counties con. tiguous to Prescott: It will pay you to bring your cotton to Prescott, where you can get most tor 1t, and get goods at the very lowest fig ures. You know it has been so heretofore, so don't go back on yourself and our live town this year.

Tempted to Suicide.

Duty to mankind and obligation to the manufacturers of the remedy demand that 1 acknowledge the wonderful results of using Swlft's Specific.
 Three years ago l was afflicted with that most horrible of diseases, blood poison. In vain l sought help from medical profession, changing doctors two or three times. The mercurlal remedies used soon put me on crutches and brought on untold pain. l could see myself failing every day, My weight was reduced from l30 to IT. pounds in six weeks. l could see no use of living situated as l was. and was so desperate at times that I felt like taking my own lite. Friends interfered, and urged me to go to Hot Springs. l started, but on my way met friend who persuaded me to stop with him and to try Swift's Specific. l had no faith in patent medicines, and at first would not listen to such advice. But my sufferlngs were so intense finally yielded. After the first bottle l felt great change, and by the time l had used one dozen bottles 1 was like my self once more. I still felt some pains in my limbs, and so contln- ued the use of the medicine, and to-day one would never think that I had been such wreck and cured by that wonderful remedy. II stands at the head of all blood remedies, and is a blessing to all mankind. J. H. BROWN,

CONQUEROR COLE COMING! A Real Hippodrome Carnival
pr. w. E. CARVER'S VIVID WEST

Approaching events are said to cast shadows before, and such at least appears to be the case with the forthcoming Nisit of w. w.. Coles New Colossal Shows. which exhibits here on Friday, Oct. l5, Probably the approach of no other tented exhibition has ever attract. ed such widespread interests in this vicinity as have the arnOunce- ments of this engagement. In short, the idea is prevalent that Manager Cole has completely out.
 done all of his previous great of
 forts, and some striklngly novel innovations can be anticipat- ed. Fully alive to the require ments of the times, and with n de- termined purpose to present at fractions that hayer never had a counterpart in tlns country, MT. Cole, immediately on the close of his season last November, dis. patched number of trusty agents to Europe Tn quest Of novelties, giving them instruc- tiont carte bianche to pay any price, providing the feature possessed sufficient merit and had never been seen in the United States. The result has been that Manage Cole has collected the most brilliant group of circus stars that have ever graced the arenas of Europe. Not only is Mfr. Coles personnel of performers rich in celebrities from the old world, but the most daring and noted of American artists likewise dis port themselves under his impos. ing tents. The menagerie depart ment has not been neglected in this general burnishing-up process. Every Cunard steamer that arrived m New York during the months of February and March brought i'm portant acquisitions for the zOolog. ical collection. Prominent among the leading features of the show is is a sumptuous revival of the hip pOdrome sports of ancient Greece and Rome, and which is said 10 be. the most single reproduction of classic racing carnivals of contem- poraneous times, Exciting strug. gles between s30,000 stud of English and American thorough breds take placeat every perform anee on the enormous hippodrome track This race course is also brought into requisition for the presentation of a series of frontier scenes by Dr. w. F. Carver's un- rivaled "Wild West" combination, comprising 100 scouts, cowboys, Indian and Mexican vaqueros. That Manager Cole will play to the capacity of his tents in this city can be set down as certainty.

Prescott School.

At meeting of the School Board, Sept. 30, after considering the financial condition of the dis trict it was decided that the free schools could not be opened be- fore the first of next April as there would be no funds in ths Treasury until that time.
 The school revenue for this district amount to about f25U per annum and are therefore insuffi- cient to run the free schools the full year, regularly, there bein. 62o children of school age in the dis trict. The school that closed last June ended a continuous free school for both white and colOred of year and half and left the school district in debt S6S9.95 in- cluding repairs to houses and ground to date. Under these cir cumstances the board has let Miss Minnie Conneyey have the use of the Tom Allen School building for the purpose of conducting a sub scription schoOl and the members of the board take pleasure in certi- flying to her very great worth as s teacher and educator and most heartily recomend and endorse her and her assistants as such.

TIE railroads running into and through Georgia, have for some time, been making things lively for the citizens of some portions of that state. by their discrlmina- tions, and when an objection was made by the commissioners they have threatened to carry the mat ter to the l.. $. Court; but, the commissioners took new cut on them recently, by notifying then that their local rates did not cor respond with through rates, and that things must be changed. This will either force them to lower local rates or go up on through business. Georgia officers seem to have some interest in the wei fare of the people and the pros perity of their State.-EXchange.
 We want our next Legislature to give us a similar railroad cOmmis- sion to that of Georgia. Also, we want State and National elections consolidated, a State Normal School, a change in the exemption laws, and State Agricultural Bu. reau.
