Houston Home Journal. The first bale OF

Aug. II and sold for e cents per pound. Since
that date about 20 bales have been received,

hauling. shipped three cars and didn Z get a

Worth Local: j. H. Story has a hog that
can afford to snap his hoofs at the hard times
BY some means he found that his owner s
Jersey COW furnished an excellent quality OF
rich milk. and now whenever he can gain ac-
cess 10 her, he braces himself up on his hind

road which runs through Greensboro and a
number Of other large towns between Allan
Ia and Augusta has a fine record 1t has
been running over fifty years and has never
killed a passenger The road is ballasted
much Of the way; and is by far the smo0thest
road in the state. So regularly do the trains
conform to the schedule that one may safely
set his watch by their running.
Albany News and Advertiser: With well
filed barns and smoke houses at the end Of
the year, the farmers lines will have fallen
IN smoother places compared with other
years gone by. Ii is true that the present
low price Of cotton has a depressing influence

present crop with much less expense than
heretofore. he cannot help but be encouraged

tives and worEmcl show their wages. The
money they receive is soon expended for

much good for West Point and the men who
so successfully manage them are an honor
and benefaction to the town.
Telfair Enterprise This section is grow
ing in popularity rapidly. Several parties
were In this week looking up farms. We
can see Tor the life Of US how any young or
middle aged farmer can be Contented to pur-
sue his vocation among the old red hills Of Mid
die Georgia. 1t is almost complete waste
OF life TO work those Old worn ont lands.
This is quite true when we contemplate the
vast region known as Wiregrass Georgia,
with its broad expanse of fertile lands. We
enjoy health far beyond our deserts perhaps,
and incomparably more than our friends OF
Middle and North Georgia have any idea.
Indeed, we doubt II there is any more health
in those sections than in ours All who come
express but one regret, and that is, that they
o1dn come sooner.
