this instrument, he mounted the horses

and gave one or two blasts that raised the
echoes for mile around. The horse was
so greatly .astonished at this unseemly
hullabaloo that ne started off at a rega-

trying-if you have balky hourse.

VIM II. Bagey will demand a trial at this
term of court His is the only case that
any interest is felt in here. In the event

Atlanta Constitution: G. w. Truitt Of
Troup county, one of the best-known cot
ton growers In Georgia, and who is recog-
nized as a champion in the art of making
the greatest number of bales to the acre,
was in the city yesterday and spoke inter-
estedly of the conditions of the cotton
crop in his county. Mr.. Truitt brought
samples of May, June and July cotton and
showed the condition of each crop. The
cotton planted in May, which is usually
a good crop, has this year only few bos
TO the stalk and is little better than fail
ure. The June crop is almost an absolute
failure, while the July crop shows up with
q few blossoms On cotton planted TAR
lier Mr.. Trutt made a fairly good crop
and will get 200 bales from 800 acres. He
says the crop Is off 80 per cent. this year
and attributes il TO the drought early in
the summer and the heavy rains later.
The farmers of Troup county are going to
plant their land in grain this winter and
will let cotton severely alone. Mr.. Trutt
says that with the money the farmers of
Troup use to buy guano, mules and rations
for planting cotton. they intend to buy
spot cotton and hold 1t until the price
goes up. In this way they can make
money on cotton without going to the
trouble and expense of raising it without
realizing anything on It, The grain crop
TO be gathered In Troup county next year
viii be a large one and II Is thought that
all the farmers there will carry out their
present intentions of buying cotton and
sowing grain. Mr.. Truitt says that In
1884 when cotton was so low, he had TO
carry a hog to market with each load of
cotton; now, he Gays, he has to carry the
same hog and ties a beef steer on behind,
He raised hogs and beeves TO a consider
bic extent, and intends to let cotton Sc
verely alone for while at least.
