A Woman's Work.
ATLANTA Journall


There Is In this State a woman who on
a little farm. manages TO support herself
and her children. and 10 provide the lat
ter with the means OF education. Her
only help is a young negro boy.
The following extract from a letter.
written by this woman 10 a friend I'm At
lanta a few days ago. gives some idea Of
the way in which she manages TO get
along:
well. let me tell you what I made on
my little farm this year. First, sold so
worth Of strawberries. made GO bushels
corn. plenty of hay and fodder. 60 gallons
syrup. 200 bushels sweet-potatoes, bales
OF cotton, which the children and !, with
the negro boy picked get gallons OF
milk a day and 11-2 pounds OF butter;
have four hogs to kill. and have plenty
OF chickens and eggs. have never done
as much work and as hard work as
have this year, and my health has never
been better.
THE children are getting so they are
lots Of help to me. and are just as smart
in their books as they can be. May plays
nicely on the plano, is taking lessons
from a good teacher, and l pay her in
butter, eggs, etc. We are gradually get
ting out OF debt"
This brave little woman has not only
given noble example Of courage and in
dependence, but she furnishes also an H.
lustration OF the advantages OF diversi-
fled farming. Her good sense in raising
her own provisions might be initiated by
majority OF the farmers Of this State,
greatly to their benefit. There are many
women in this State who conduct farms,
large and small, and II is said that nearly
all of them are remarkably thrifty and
successful. They believe In raising, as far
as they can. everything they need, and
they are exemplars OF the fine. practical
business sense which women so often de-
velop when there is a demand for it.

LAST NIGHTS FIGHTS
AT Pyle Cycling Academy Proved TO
be a Very Warm Affair, as All
the Bouts Were Excellent.

The Esmeralda Bay Club, of this CITY,
gave. lighting tournament at Pyle
Cycling Academy last night, and all whe
were present claimed it was the bes5
show of its kind ever held in the build
ing.
All the bouts were fast and furious,
and there was no waiting between the
different contests.
The first thing on the carpet was a
four-round affair between Jack Henry, of
phia.
Although the Slowtown Boy was much
heavier than his opponent, our bov made
very clever showing and also all the
leading. The bout was quite tame one
and on points draw would have been
just decision.
The second contest between tie
Knights of the Stuffed Nltts was be-
tween George Russell and the Delaware
Cyclone, tall, gaunt bunch of black
stuff, who could stand lot of punish
ment and still look pretty.
This fight was the hottest one of the
night, as when time was called both
would rush at each other and slug and
slam till time was called.
When the Cyclone got little bit too
previous with George, Russell would
give him q good shot in the jaw for IT.
There was very little science
displayed by either, but that did not
stop the contest from being good one.
Number three brought together Pat
Mcconnell and Harry Smith, the Italian,
If Chester
This was also a good one as both men
It times fought hard. Smith is very
lever boy, but in long contest Nc
,onnell would no doubt best him, be-
'ause Mcconnell is very hard litter
md all his blows told, while Smiths
blows were very weak and told very
title on his opponent.
The windup was between Joe Laughlin
lad from this town, who is rapidly
oming to the front and Jack Montroy
Who is making all the Philadelphia lads
ook like yellow dogs. This fight only
asted two rounds and half. owing t.
IL the lights in the building going out.
The fight as far as it went was very
God one, both lads displaying a lot Of
clence, and it was pity it was stopped,
S IT promised to be the best Of the
vcning.
This club will give another SHOW in
bout month and all the sports should
lrn out in force, for if the next one is
S good as this one was they will Ger
lnly miss something by not attending
