the preparation Of work of this kind
and invited the cooperation of Profess
sor G. r. Glenn at that time School
Commissioner of the State of Georgia.
Such work by Professor Hunnicutt
has just been issued from the press
of the Foote G Davies Publishing Co.,
of Atlanta. and is, therefore. a genu.
Inc home production, well adapted to
the farmer boys and girls of the South.
Every farmer should take pride in
his profession; for without such q
sentiment he cannot do his best work
BY pursuing proper methods he can
instill the same sentiment into his
children, so that they will find both
pleasure and profit in learning how
to make the soil grow good crops.
If farming is ever to reach the
place which 1t should occupy, it will
be where the children have been
taught it's usefulness and beauty III
the school room.
The work of Professor Hunnicutt Is
so simple that even a teacher, who is
entirely ignorant Of the theory and
practice Of farming, can use it with
profit to his pupils and himself.
Many books have been written on
agriculture, but they are all more or
less treatises on agricultural chemistry
This work avoids this channel but at
the same time adheres strictly to sci
entifc truth, while expressing it in
plain language.
It teaches the history of agriculture
treats of the composition and kinds Of
soil, their preservation and improve
ment; how plants grow, the proper
use of manures and fertilizers; the Sc
lection and planting of seed with the
needed preparation of the soil for
thcir reception; the cultivate gather
ng and storing of crops; the proper
methods of marketing, and the best
investments Of the profits that accrue;
treats also of farm labor, farm ami
mails and implements; of every kind
Of farming; and, In fact, takes a gen
aral and comprehensive view Of every
thing that a farmer or farmers child
should know. The tables in the ap-
pendix are just what every farmer
needs.
The Department Of Agriculture
heartily endorses this work, and hopes
that it will be adopted in every school
and find its way into every family in
Ehe south.

DAMAGE TO The BERRY CROP
SEEMS TO BE OVER ESTIMATED
Our Correspondent Says it Will Hardly Reach
fen Per Cent---The Huckleberry
Crop Hit Hard.
(Staff Correspondence

Mt. Olive, N. c., April S.-Recent re-
ports sent out as to damage by cold
snaps appears to be erroneous. Diligent
inquiry here reveals the fact that the
damage will hardly reach 10 per cent
Berry growers are always alert and
protect by straw mulching The acreage
Where exposed the damage to the
huckleberry crop will be about so per
cent. Thus far only forty crates have
been marketed from this the largest ship
ping point in the berry belt, and the
majo portion went forward today Ber-
ries are selling To-day at twenty cents
per quart in New ork for best stock.
Berries being marketed have fair size
but are off in color owing to slowness
in ripening, due to weather conditions.
The section is visited to-day by warm
rains-April showers. If the expected
cold snap of the 18th inst does not ma
terialize shipments will start in earnest
the last week in April. Some twenty-five
employers will be necessary to meet
shipping demands at this point
on the 14th inst an election Will be held
to determine a bond issue of $4,000 for
graded SC0OOl. Advocates OF the DfODO-
sition feel confident the issue viii carry
by not less than thirty-five majority
The present school buildings are made
quate for demands. Property values here
are increasing at the rate of $4,000 to
600 per year, and if it is held with
present rate and values, a sinking fund
sufficient to meet the issues at maturity,
twenty years, can be maintained
Nothing deferred this people are ex-
pending their ducats in public improve
ments. Passing out Front street num-
her of new residences are nearing compile
ton.
The A. c. L. freight depot is being en-
larged thirty-seven feet and the berry
shed ninety-two feet in length. At the
close of the berry season the passenger
department will be remodelled and a two
story extension 30x40 feet erected.

What This Gentleman

No one can have any reason for dis

which follow, for notification of the
same is within easy reach of every resi-

kidney complaints is substantiated not
only in this particular case, but by all
who have given them a fair trial. Testi-

have to take them indefinitely to be
cured.

The position ofthe Republican party
on the currency questions seems to be
that there is not gold enough to do
business on as the case would stand.
Silver they will not have; hence they
must have more paper money. Gov
eminent notes they will nothave, hence
a currency based on the bonds of cor
porations is the thing. The more
bonds, the more water in the bond, the
more profits. The old alchemist who
dreamed of governing allsorts of stuff
into gold ought to be delighted with a
scheme like this.-Guthrie Sentinel
Democrat.
We should think that the advocate
of party that had embraced every
wild financial notion from to lizard,
irredeemable paper, free silver coin
age, ETC., would not, for modesty' s
sake, accuse the republican party OF
falling in with visionary schemes, es-
pecially as there is no indication OF
such thing. The editor of the SD.
has evidently been reading the demo
