a strange phenomenon in the sky
last night between II and 12 O'Clock.
What appeared to be moving star
arose and passed through the hea-

until it then took a stationary posi-
tion and remained there for an hour.
Instead Of being white. like an Ordi-

dish light. He says that he watched
it for an hour. Some think it was a
balloon which had been turned loose
in Douglas county. but Mr.. Merriam
is not inclined TO that opinion.

The discussion has again arisen as
to what the next Legislature will do
on the whiskey question. Opinion ap-
pears to be about evenly divided that
the Legislature will pass a Statewide
bill, and that the matter will be left
as 1t now Is. Local optionists frankly
state that it was their understanding
that the compromise in the senate last
session that was accepted in the house
was binding upon all. On the other
hand, it is stated that the compromise

Learning From . Negro.

We ran across an old negro the
other day who can neither read nor
write. but who has kept his eyes open
and has reached some progressive
conclusions that ought to make some
OF our white farmers rather ashamed
OF themselves by comparison.
When he hauled his cotton to mar
ket the other day, this negro got q
better price per pound than our white
farmers have been getting, because
the buyer said 1t was about the best
bale that he had seen this season.
The old negro never lets a bale lie

he always instructs the ginner to put
good bagging on IL.
II have always noticed" said the
old darkey in talking to us, that
anything that looks nice and good. no
matter what 1t is. fetches more
money. The good bagging that 1 put
on my cotton costs twenty cents a
bale extra. and I believe I sometimes
get $500 bale more on account OF
the neat-looking bagging, not to say
anything of the better price 1 get on
account Of keeping the cotton dry and

How Cooperation Helps the Georgia
Peach Growers.

A press dispatch from Atlanta says
that the Georgia peach crop this year
will net the growers a profit of half
a million dollars. Last year 5000
cars brought about $1,000,e00; thi.
year 1900 cars brought about the
same amount. The difference in price
Is attributed largely to better methods
Of marketing the crop.
This year for the first time, Geor.
gia growers organized into a mutual
benefit exchange, modelled on the
lines Of California fruit shippers as
sociations. The raisers Of other grea.
Southern fruit crops. particularly
oranges. are organizing similar asso-
Citations. In each case Southern asso.
Citations have followed the California
idea Of keeping the crop rolling in
freight cars and selling 1t as It moves
by means of reliable agents of the as
sociations."
Here is more proof, If more proof
could be needed, that it pays farmers
to cooperate, and that the way to CO.
operate Is to go at it on a business
basis. BY working together for a
common object the farmers of any
neighborhood, or those engaged in
any particular line of work, have 1t
In their power to largely increase the
profits to be derived from their work.
But all these cooperative associations
must be organized on strictly business
principles. 1t isn't worth while to
take up the half-done ideas of any
promoter who Is governed more by
sentiment than by business sense or
to expect sporadic enthusiasm to take
the place Of well-formulated plans of
work
If you see any place where your
neighbors and yourself could work
together to mutual advantage, call
their attention to the opportunities
you are neglecting and see II you CAM
agree on a plan for concerted effort.
The habit will grow on you, and 1t
will be a money-making habit.-Pro
gressive Farmer.
