An Expensive Visit.

A physician tells this story of a
bright boy, Ills own, who had reached
the mature age of 8, after an early
career marked by wild and mischiev-
our pranks, relates the Boston Globe.
His restless nature had made him
somewhat of torment to his teach
er at times, and one afternoon not
long ago she kept him after the 9th
ers were dismissed and had a seri-
Gus talk with him. Perhaps she was
a little afraid that her admonitions
were falling on stony ground. Any
way, she finally said:

father to come and see me-"
Don't do it" said the boy.

COTTON, GRAIN AND STOCK

The increase in the price of cotton
is largely responsible for the better
feeling now prevailing throughout
Georgia and the South. One year ago
there was practically no market for
cotton. A few bales were sold for 10
cents per pound in connection with the
"Buy Bale movement but in com
parison with the number of bales made
this amounted to practically nothing
The crop last year was not SO. large
but in the rejoicing over the better
price being received, this fact is prac'
tically lost sight of by the individual
The people of this section have de-
pended so long ON the cotton crop to
pay their bills and furnish them ready
money, that it is hard for them to re-
alize what great changes have taken
place during the past few years, and
there is no longer any real reason why
a short cotton crop or low prices for
the fieecy staple should demoralize the
South.
In Georgia cattle raising is devol'
oping rapidly. There is hardly coun'
ty in the state that does not boast
of it's fine hogs, and places of hundreds
of acres are devoted exclusively to
raising and developing live stock,
Every farm, regardless Of how small
now has q number of head Of cottlt
and each year these bring in an ex
cellent income on the investment.
