Debs' release from the federal penitentiary
near Atlanta seems to have met with genera
approval This from the AmerlcuS ln lIlei>t
'corder is fair statement OF the way the pup,
lie views it: The president probably acted

Of radical Now that war is past he may be
safely given his liberty but as part OF his

A good cow is valuable possession these
days of Improbable farm products and search
ty of money, as the following from the Lavo
MIA Times proves: "One OF the leading farm
ers Of this section has sold this year from one
cow more than eighty dollars worth of but
ter He has had the butter milk and other
by-products in addition to the money that the
cow has brought in. 1t is needless to say that
this farmer is not in debt and has no need of

ers tried to sell their butter on the local mark

An honest man gets results from newspaper

purse, so finder and loser were brought to-

Georgia excels in many things. The Com
merce Observer tells of a grand old tree that
deserves honorable mention: DIR. l.. q. Hard

largest pecan tree in Georgia IS situated on
the Jackson farm, one of his places four miles
southeast of Commerce 1t measures 90 feet
from tip to tip of limbs and is seven feet IN
circumference. The tree is past 90 years OF
age"
Profit from corn can be realized in this way,
says the Augusta Chronicle: The farmers
cannot make corn at present prices, but they
can feed the corn to chickens and pigs, send
some of it to the mill to be converted into
meal and hominy, and get good profits from
it in that way. But the meal and hominy will
have to be put up in attractive packages to
make it SELL as the Valdosta Times states it. "
Another reason for trading at home is given
by the Thomasville Enterprise, and it must be
admitted that it is good one: ITS easy to
pay cash if you have the cash, and you needn't
liz you are reliable and will trade at home"
