Notice to Fanners and Dairy
men.
' The Farmers and Dairymen of
I Troup and surrounding counties, will
j hold a meeting in LaGrange on July
4th, at 11 o’clock. The object of
the meeting is for the purpose of ex-
changeing views, and suggesting
best plans and best crops to raise for
forage aud stock feed. The year is
far advanced but there is yet time
enough, if seasonable, to raise a vast
amount of feed on our oat and wheat
stubble and land still unplanted, or
where stands of corn and cotton
were not secured. This meeting is
also important from the fact that the
State Dairyman’s Association meets
in LaGrange this fall, and let us not
wake up at that important time and
find ourselves behind our brother
farmers and dairymen in other parts
of the state, but be able to entertain
aud instruct them by exhibiting what
we have done, and encourage others
to do likewise. No county enjoys a
better known reputation for success
ful farmers than old Troup. So let
her not only sustain this well-earned
reputation but show up at the head
of the advancing columns and prove
to the world that cotton is not the
only thing we can raise.
Another reason why this meeting
is important is because there will
doubtless be held in LaGrange about
Aug 1st a Farmers’ Institute under
the auspices of the State Agricultu
ral Department, and old Troup is ex
pected to lead off in this important
move. So let us get up some enthu
siasm, bestir ourselves and let it be
known that we are not only building
cotton factories (which is the right
thing to do) but farming so as to be
sejl'-auft^ning and feed, the people
on Jersey* butter, fat beef, pigs, Ply-
■moutb Rock chickens, etc. Come
one and all. Dairyman.
RARE EXPERIENCES.
Some Drawbacks of A Summer
Resort Aud Some Pleasures
Of Travelling 1 .
Xt.has been my especial privilege
to observe more kickers and more
different kind of kickers than fall to
the average lot. J saw one at Warm
Springs yesterday, although I do not
class him as a new one. A pompous
individual in a Prince Albert coat
who strode to bis table as Jupiter
strides to the feasts ot the Olym
pians. He looked at the menu and
curled his nose. Then he kicked,
long and high. He gave the assem
bled people to understand that ne
had traveled far and wide. Had
eaten pates-de-fois gras in Paris, had
munched pretzels in Berlin and
drunk Tokay in Vienna. He de
clared that Southern cookery made
him sick and his delicate taste was
outraged at every American hotel.
We all formed our opinion of him—
that he was a lineal descendant of
Balaam’s ass and let him go. Going
back on the train his pompousness
dwindled and shrank until he got off
a r . Raleigh or Snelson or some other
wide place in the road.
It gives me the cross-eyed jim-
jams to see a Georgia cracker who
ten years ago was sopping potatoes
in bacon gravy on his father’s kitch
en steps, put on the airs of a Vander
bilt and attempt to be a cosmopoli
tan.
Poor fools they are who strut and
swear, kick loudly and strong but
never ifoil to make the bill of tare
look like a Kansas storm had struck
it.
I am green myself—painfully ver
dant, but the verdancy of some of
the Georgia teachers is a wonderful
and refreshing thing.
One long-COated, fierce looking
ing antediluvian sat down at our
table. He probably had never seen
a hotel before but he tried to impress
us that what he didn’t know about
hotels could be contained in a pocket
dictionary. Finally he made his in
evitable break. He ordered his din
ner and came to the item “eggs to
order. He bit his mustache and
said, ‘-Well, I guess you can bring
me some of them eggs to order. I
like ’em fried pretty well, but this is
a new way to me.”
I wonder why all women on the
Georgia Midland road seem to carry
their families with them. Not con
tent with blockading the ticket win
dow for half an hour and asking a
thousand foolish questions, while a
long line wait impatiently to have
their tickets signed, she occupies
about six seats with a minature cir
cus around her and twelve band
FOR CHANCELLORSHIP.
boxes piled on every available seat.
She gets “fiustrated” when tickets
are called for and jobs you in the
eye with a cotton umbrella, piles a
bundle of quilts tied with a rope on
your neck and dances the baby up
and down on your pet corn. Then
a sore-eyed brat comes over to sym-
patnize with you and rubs about
six and three-quarter pounds of po
tato custard on you best trousers,
while the baby decorates your collar
with a leg of fried chicken,
G. 4- B. Tomlinson,
CONDITION OFGEORGIACROPS
Dr. Nunnally’S Name is Sllg- Comprehensive Analysis by Commissioner Stevens Showing by Carefully Compiled Fi?.
gested For That Position in
University of Georgia.
WOULD RR0BABLY NOT ACCEPT
Contributor to The Journal Indorses
Him In Glowing Terms For
This Position.
A contributor to the Atlanta Jour,
nal has written the article copied be
low, to that paper, suggesting Dr. G.
A. Nunnally, of this city, as a suitable
man in every respect for tbe chancel
lorship of the University of Georgia.
“It is generally agreed that the
chancellor of the State University
should be:
First. A Georgian. One well
known to the people and onethoi-
oughly identified with the people and
widely acquainted with the masses.
Second. He should be an alumnus
of the State Ujyjf*Wty—one who
made an honortrfne record in college
and imprjes|eij his college mates with
his ability. .—
Third. He should be .^a man of
executive ability and powsj of dis
ciplii^Xrbjci^^ who ..und6r|^|ds busi
ness affai?B-*nd who kno wi Bqys and
how.td,<St>ii'jtroI them.
■Fourth. Ha. should be a man of
experieBce'ig the school room—one
who has demonstrated his ability to
teach Nhd has kept abreast of the
times 1 infihethodfl and in culture.
TJ| jiiO«ld be a man who
has tee& : htwoaes£ul in all his under
takings ; j5rte vftkf 'has always done
his wort better than his predecessors
and left his field 7 belter than be
found it; one- who never left a job
because it was bard "a,'nd never re
fused a laiidable undertaking because
people said' it was'i.mpossible.
Such a person can be found in the
person of Dr. G. A. Nunnally, presi
dent of the Southern Female College,
LaGrange, Ga.
He is a Georgian Jo the manner
born. He knows more people, and is
known by moie perhaps than an}'
other man in the state. He gradu
ated at the State University, the
youngest member of his class—lead
ing tbe class for three years ; but in
the fourth year his health gave way,
aud another member of the class—a
grown man—ran out ahead, with
young Nunnally, pale with disease,
close at his heels. Men at college at
that time still speak of the ability
and studiousness of that young lad
from Walton county. Since that
time he has spent much of his time
in the schoolroom, ten years in the
acedamy, two years as professor in col
lege, four years as president of Mer
cer University, and four years as
president of the Southern Female
College. His ability as a disciplin
arian is acknowledged. His execu
tive capacity has been tested. His
success has challenged the admir
ation of the public. He took Mer
cer University when it was in a mor
ibund condition and filled it with
new life and increased the number of
students from 75 to 250. His suc
cess in his present field has been
equally creditable. If the trustees
will elect him, and lie accepts, an at
tendance of 500 students in three
years is not an unreasonable expec
tation.
By all means give us a Georgian,
and an alumnus of the University
for chancellor.
A GRADUATE
Of the Class of 1870.”
If Dr. Nunnally should be called
to that high position, he would in all
probability not accept, as his heart is
in the work which he has undertaken
in LaGrange. He is an alumnus of
that institution and since his gradu
ation has reflected credit upon his
alma mater. His ability as an un
tiring worker, a deep thinker, and a
finished educator) is recognized
throughout the state and it would be
a severe blow to LaGrange if he
should decide to cast his lot else
where.
