| Mr.. j. A. Sibley, of Marietta, Ga one
of our most intelligent and progressive
members, called on us lately, and we were
glad to hear his cheering talk about grass
growing and dairy farming. Although
| from one of the wealthiest families in Au-
gusta, this accomplished young gentleman
chooses the grand profession of Agrcul
ture, to which he is giving his best ener-
| gies. The Club was organized to aid and
encourage just such young men in ex-
changing city life for green fields in the
country.-Southern Cultirator.

ABUSE never does any good anywhere.
1t will not change a mans religious or
political views or his views on any other
subject In fact it has repelling effect,
and the more man is abused the more
decided he becomes in his way of thinking.
Thinking men will generally give to reason
a respectful hearing, but will revolt at any
species of coercion. His independence
forbids that he should be driven with the
lash of abuse.
HE Canton Advance comes to us all
home print, and otherwise improved. 1T
is an admirable weekly, always bright and
newsy, full of fresh and interesting matter
and working to build up it's county and
town The good people of Cherokee coun.
ty should rally to its support and give it
liberal patronage. The Advance is a cred
1t to Canton and deserves all the success it
has achieved.
The people of Gainesville and Marietta
| should feel proud of their newspapers
The Courant-American and Journal are
both splendid papers, progressive and
wide-awake to the interests of the towns in
which they are published. In fact all the
towns OF North Georgia have good papers,
and they should be better patronized than
they are, too. A town without paper
will never make much progress. A town
is Judged by its paper Canton Aduance.
