A MILLIONAIRE FARMER.
How Col. James M. Smith, Of Georgia, has
Shown What May be Done in South.
ern A gricr1lture.

Millionaires who have won their
wealth by farming are few, for men
are rare who can make farm an in
stitution. 1t is therefore not strange
that Col. James NJ. Smith, "f Gcor
gia, is considered, perhaps. tic most
remarkable man in the State. He
began to grow corn and cotton in Oglc-
:hropc County directly after the war.
The result of his first year work was
a loss of $4OO. Now his net earnings
are more than 500, 900 a year. Yet
this is but one measure Of singular!y
successful life. For "Col. Jim or
"Marse Jim,' as he is affectionately
called, has shown what may be done
in Southern agriculture, and he has
made Smithonia, his farm, monu-
ment to an individual kind Of UNUSUAL
efficiency.
His FIRST years farming, on sixty
five acres about ten miles from
Athens, resulted in yield of two
bales of cotton and fifty bushels of
-corn-an Improbable crop, though
cotton was then worth az cents a
pound and corn 80 bushel. That
was in 1866, when the land was de-
pleted and drought had blighted the
crops SO that many farmers made no
ATTEMPT to harvest the little that
grew. Last year there was produced
on his %, 900 aeres, much Of which
is in timber and pasturage, 5000
bales OF cotton, $4,000 bushels Of
corn, 10000 bushels Of wheat, $4,000
bushels Of oats, 5000 bushels of COW
peas, 5000 bushels Of sweet potatoes,
10000 bushels Of turnips, and 500
tons of hay and forage. But this is
not all. On his highly diversified
farm he raises great numbers of hogs,
beef cattle, etc., and his dairy turned
out last year more than 20, 900 pounds
Of butter.
Facts like these tell the story cf
his achievement. He has wrested
prosperity from devastation. He is
now sixty-four years old. His life
has been one long struggle, and the
habit Of fighting through difficulties
has 30 fixed itself upon him that he
cannot shake it of. Though possess
ed Of good fortune, he still works as
il his very life depended upon il. On
his from. porch, ali through the day
and often until after midnight, Col.
Smith receives couriers with reports
from all parts Of the farm, and here
he gives them his orders to carry
back. For several years Col. Smith
has received more than 800, 900 for
his lint cotton every year. His cot
ton seed also yields him very large re-
turns. And snen other products are
to be bought or sold there are always
q nu,aoer Of traders on hand. Large
sales of farm supplies of all sorts are
made tc him at frequent intervals,
and ia nearly every case the seller has
many trips over the country roads be-
fore he closes the contract.

FASHION NOTES.

Light, clinging, soft materials seem
to be specially in favor-chiffon, velvet.
silk corduroy, radium, messaline and
the ever faithful mousseline de sole.
There are many styles and fads and
notions about combs and pins for the
hair. but nothing will ever supersede for
one instant the exquisite richness and
propriety of real tortoise shell, carved
or adorned with gold.
Fur trimmings are admirable for
street dresses anu evening cloaks. They
will be seen on many of the handsomest
garments of the winter. Butt is ex-
ceedingly bad form to wear fur on an in
door dress.
Short skirts for evening wear are still
popular among very young women. For
dancing there is no question about their
being practical and decidedly comfort
able. But woman over rs should not
think OF 1t. IN
Authorities differ about the size Of
sleeves. But without doubt the popular
taste is inclined to cling to small sleeves.
People are not very enthusiastic about
big. full sleeves. And they certainly are
anything but pretty.
One handsome evening cloak Is OF
pompadour MORE. 1t is distinguished
from the popular empire style by cape
effect in the back. though there are the
flowing sleeves In front. 1t is trimmed
with sable and lined with accordion
plated chiffon. This idea of sable trim
ming was seen on some very handsome
evening cloaks.- Chicago Record-Her-

Wide and eight feet long and was sus-
| pended from the ceiling by stout
fropes over the kitchen stove. The lad
der rounds were hung full of clothes
spread out as much as possible, and
the heat OF the stove dried them rap
idly. OF course great care had to be
taken In keeping the hampers. wide
open In adding coal or shaking down
ashes, but 1t was much better and
quicker than hanging out of doors.
The lady of the house intends to have
the rack fixed this winter 80 It can be
lowered without trouble and quickly
raised to the ceiling when not In use,
az It is now rather inconvenient al

II she had the floor space. she would
have two racks, and stack them togeth-
er like a step ladder. but that is out Of
the QVpticn. For drying heavy UNI

perfectly dry, II has no equal.

to the wall as Is usually tho case, but
simply rested on ten-cent iron brack-

down to clean and rearrange, which
was much handler than to reach up or

made cupboard with three shelves, and
held the small articles like the nutmeg

the mistress of the house could re-
plenish her small boxes, repaper the
shelves and find anything she wanted
In few minutes. The kitchen was
rather dark, SO the spices were kept In
plainly labeled glass cocoa bottles,
tightly corked. The sight and name
helped to make rapid finding possible.
In another kitchen, SO small as to
be exasperating, the mistress of the
house had a small ironing board three
feet long and two wide thickly pad
ded. This she laid on the kitchen table
near the stove and disposed of tow
els, stockings, 'undergarments, hand
