through the energy of Col. Clarke.
"chl Manager Of the NJ. 4. q. r, r.,
most of the through. freight from New
orleans to st. Louis and Chicago is
passing over the "Old Reliable.r
Many trains of Texas cattle, tropical
fruits, horses and vegetables passed
Macon this week going North. 1t is
wonderful what enterprise and good
management will accomplish. The
low freight rates on this road are the
main secret OF its increased business,
Inc business prospect here for nm.
other season is excellent. Several new
business houses will be erected ai
once, and we understand all are rent.
cd, and there is a demand for more.
We would ike to see parties owning
ullmprovcd property in the business
part OF town, either improve the same.
or dispose OF il TO others who will do
so, The policy of holding desirable
vacant lots with the expectation of
enhanced values is the sure way 10
keep a town back. Dwelling houses
are also in demand, not a single one in
town being moccupicd.
SO far as we are informed bv farm.
crs, and from personal observation,
the cotton crop of our county is in
good condition, aud quite promising.
though Il little behind in size but corn
is generally inferior, and there is it,
tie likelihood OF enough being made ,
to supply the county halt of next year. ,
Prolractcd dry weather is said 10 be !
the cause OF this failure. But when {
we look into the gardens of Macon,
and soc ms fine corn as one could wish, ,
we are just a little inclined to think $
that poor farming is more responsible
for the inferior corn than dry wealth. :
er; for if W. can so fcrtilizc and cult F.,
yatc u small patch of corn as to make
il yield abundantly, in spite of ,
'l%roughts, floods and everything else, ,
another cal do the same thing as TO
patches or fields. J
Mr.. Nat Harrison has 200 acres in
IN rcd cloycr thut he regards as the I
most valuable crop on all of his large ,
plantations. This clover was sown six !
years ago, and there is hardly a break
IN il to-day. lie pastures his horses, '
aud hogs upon 1t, and cuts a q,
argc portion every year 1or nay. IL
s known in the neigLborhood that
,lr. Ilarrison's stock Of all kinds are '
healthier, and keep fattcr than any =
me clscs. In fact, this clover has {
proven such q success Oh his places,
md is such a splendid food for stock,
hat he is gradually giving up cotton, .
md going into the cattle and horse !,
business on n large scale. We
lave long been convinced that rcd clio.
'cr was not half appreciated by farm. y
re- in this prairie country, and be- al
icvc there are millions in il If proper as
ttcniion was givcn..to il. Sow clover,

Of their matrimonial stock, the
Accommodations from which have
been SO unplessingly barren. He WAS
thuncerstruck when she told him of her
decision, which Was to sign over to him
all her right, title and interest In the
lands owned by them, for which he should
make division Of the household effects,
giving her her share, when she would
leave him. After thinking over the matter
