From the Macon Telegraph of
last Monday we reproduce the fol
lowing information:
“Since the value of beriiiuda
grass lias been made" apparent to
the farmers who have cattle aud
stock, large quantities of the roots
are being shipped from this sec
tion to others less favored. It
grows here in greatest abundance,
and tons of the roots are raked
from the gardens and patches
around the city every spring.
Capt. Bush Lumsdem has just
shipped a ton of the roots to
Manager Withoft of the Ohio
Fruit Farms at Fort Valley. Mr.
Withoft will plant and cultivate
the roots with a view to making a
meadow on which to pasture cat
tle. He has just decided to in
vest largely in cows to raise beef
cattle, and has become impressed
with the idea that nothing will
take the place of bermuda in feed
ing them. He expects to have his
meadow well set within three or
four months, because he will
plant the roots in drills and then
cultivate them just as he would
corn until the runners have lapp
ed and matted the earth.”

Letter to Mrs. F. E. Norwood,
Perry, Ga.
Dear Madam: It takes numerous
visits from a salesman to establish a
paint agency in a town. Several
well-painted sample houses do the
business quickly, and therefore in
your town we intend to spend mon
ey in FREE PAINT, rather than on
salesmen’s visits.
An house-owner who sends us the
measurem ents of his house will at once
receive tasty color combinations, and
at the same time we will tell him
how many gallons of paint we will
mvfi him “for nothing,”
give him
Our house was established in “57.”
Been making L,& M. Paint 30 years
Sold Five Million Pounds last year
Ask any mercantile agency or bank
about our capital and reputation
D. & M. Paint needs the addition of
linseed oil, covers better and lasts
longer than white lead. You will be
glad that you investigated.
Very truly,

By a recent change of passenger
schedule on the Central railroad the
trip from Savannah to Atlanta if
now made in six hours and ten min
rites, quicker by nearly four hours
than the trip could be made thirty
years ago. The Central authorities
are to be commended for, their care
ful attention to the passenger ser

accorded patrons of the road. There
are now eight passenger trains daily
each way between Macon and At

—Despite the fact that farm
labor is not equal to the demand,
winter has lingered in the lap _ of
spring, rain has been excessive,
.and through this combination of
hindering causes, planting has
been delayed fully two weeks, the
■farmers of Houston are not com
plaining as much as in former
years. Cotton planting is not yet
entirely completed, aud , grass is
growing. No matter just wliy the
farmers are not giving expression
to complaints that they entertain,
it argues that they know it will
do no good,but that the unpropi-
tiou scircumstances must be over
come by determined energy wisely
applied. They are working on that
line and will succeed.
—Mr. Wiley Leverett was in
Perry last week for the first
time in a year or more, and his
many friends were glad to see
him. He is remarkably robust for
a man 81 years of age, though he
says his eyes are not exactly
good, and he is slightly cripple.
From his household garden plant
ed last year to supply four people
