TRADE AT HOME.

The general depression on account
of the low price of cotton, and the con-
sequent stagnation and decentralization
apparent in business quarters, should
put the people to thinking seriously
whether some plan cannot be devised
that would help the situation. Manu-
featuring industries are being talked
of, and these, too, by men whose talk
mean something, but there are other
lines of enterprise involving the well
fare and prosperity of the business
community that demand attention
also.
In this connection it has been sug-
eested that nothing woald help our
mercantile and other interests so much
as for our people to do their trading at
home. Thousands of dollars are sent
off year after year for goods that could
be obtained just as we'll and quite as
cheaply from our local dealers. Every
dollar thus expended tends to impov.
erish the community, because it never
comes back. If farmer were to SOW
and reap each year without compenSat
ing the soil for the harvests which it
without putting something
back-it would soon become so sterile
it would cease to yield anything. In
like manner, and with the same ruin
Gus effect, the constant outflow of
trade to Atlanta, Columbus and other
points Impoverishes the business COM
munity. All classes are affected in a
greater or less degree -the mechanic,
the lawyer and the doctor, as we'll as
the merchant There is no escape
from the evil consequences of such a
short-sighted policy if persisted in.
If our people, instead of sending
elsewhere for goods that can be bought
here on just as favorable terms, would
patronIZe home merchants and enter>
prises the town would be better off at
the end of the year by many thousands
of dollars.

DAMAGE TO GEORGIA CROPS |
WHAT THE COLD WEATHER DID
TO GRAIN AND FRUIT.
Loss Amounted to Millions Of Dollars.
Both Grain and Fruit Entirely
DESTROYED in Some Places.

The weather bureau has issued Spe-
clal bulletin giving the first reliable IN
formation in regard to the damage to the
fruit crop Of the state by the recent biz
zard.
Summarizing the situation, the buIle-
tin, which is compiled from reports made
to the departn ent by several hundred
special correspondents, widely scattered
throughout the state, says:
"The cold wave which passed over
this state February II and 10, 1899, was
by far the most severe of which there is
any record. The temperature fell to the
zero mark almost to the southern limit
of the state, while in the northern coun>
ties it reached 10 degrees or II degrees
below. The damage to crops in Georgia
will amount to several millions of dollars.
PEACHES NEARLY ALL KILLED.
''While the entire state suffered seri-
ously, the damage was greatest in the
southern half and least 10 the northern.
Peaches were nearly all killed in the
lower counties, as were a number of
Young trees, but in the northern coun-
ties there is reason to believe there will
be medium crop. Apples have not
suffered to any great extent. Plums
and some varieties OF pears have nearly
all been killed.
zone great protection to grain was the
covering of snow, which preceoed the
coolest weather. Wheat was not dam
aged so seriously, except where the
snow had blown off, Ga have been Sc
riously injured, some fields being entire
ly destroyed, especially the late sowings.
Where gardens had been planted in
some of the far south counties vegeta-
bles were entirely killed.
The cold spell, though very disas-
trous in many ways, will be of much flu
ture benefit. The freezing and thawiBg
will improve the condition of the soil
and kill ont millions OF insects injurious
to plant life.M

The old obstacles that used to prevent
the marriage of loving couples are out of

foregoing sums the so-called Cuban as.
