The suspension of the Atlanta Dailv
News will be source of regret to the
many friends it made during its twelve
months existence. The majority of
stockholders voted to suspend the pa
per over the protest of the newspaper
men who owned stock in it. President
| opeer OF the News corporation asserts
that they were losing 50 800 per month
and had lost 10000 during its one
years existence. 1t was certainly an
| up-to-date, progressive, newsy paper,
| and deserved to succeed. The Atlanta
journal stockholders bought the ma.
! chinery.

Mr.. B. B. Braswell met us Monday
and said, 'You encourage the farmers
here to cultivate sugar cane. 1t is far
superior to sorghum, and you can get
400 gallons of syrup per acre. 1t is
profitable and saleable. 1t beats cot
ton" We trust our farmers will ex-
tensively engage in it. Diversification
OF crops is what makes the farm self
sustaining.

pected to command good prices.
