FARMERS COLUMN.
COMMON SENSE FARMIN’?•
It is ali very well lor newspa
pers to raise the cry of ‘‘hog ami
liominy,’' and “all cotton,” and
tell the farmers to diversify their
crops and raise their owh sup
plies. But underneath these ap
peals lies hidden from view in
most eases, an important truth.
Ko crop Can be successful and
remunerative that is not proper
ly cuilivaled, harvested, and sold.
The Rural Messenger puls the
matter in this shape:
“The papers are indulging in a
discussion of the system of farm
ing now in vogue and there has
been much adverse criticism. Ii
seems that, in layingtthe whole
blame of non-success upon tbe
excessive cotton, peanut and to
bacco planting ihey slop tar short
of the true reason.
“These are the best, most mon
ey producing crops lor our sec
tion and climate. These are cer
tain crops, and when ready lor
market, is equivalent to cash.
They are easily maikeied auu
easily handled. It is heller
adapted to liie present system 01
labor. To charge the taUme to
exceptional weather auu seasons,
and the cousequentrtinancial dis
aster, to the cultivation ol these
crops is, to say the least, mistak
ing effect lor cause,-
- “Hog and Hominy is a very
good catch cry, but it does am
reach the rout ol the matter.
The lack ol business system with
the majority 01 iaiiuers is the
true reason why itiey uu uoi get
rich. We venture the asset lion
there cannot oe lound a larmer
with hail the husme s system ol
a sucuesslui merchant who is uoi
getting rich at farming. We
have in our mind’s eye men in
the country who have a balance
to go to the progressive side ol
their account at the end ol every
year. It is not because they
raise their own‘hog and hominy,
bht because they personally su
perintend every Ueparimeut ol
their farms, they gel the wages
value of labor out of their labor
ers, they keep an account of all
money expended,- they have a
place lor all their farming imple
ments and keep them in that
place while not in use and not
exposed to weather. Above
all they use judicious economy,
which every successful business
man does in his affairs.-
“They do not come to town at
every opportunity and carry
home with -them more corn in
another Bhape than hominy than
their brains can’ stand. They do
Not allow ft commission mer
chant to keep their accounts,
they do -not hate an irresponsi
ble overseer to do work which
they ought to do,- they do not
break up a cart or so and kill a
toule or so during each year and
then curse .these ; crops because
the prree is not. high enOdgb to
fay for all sorts of extravagance,
ihe conclusion of the whole mat
ter, to ah impartial observer is
that hog and hominy is a good
thing, but business system and
economy are better.”
The Wisconsin legislature at its
last session enacted a law which
makes obligatory—first, the or-*-
. /Sanitation of a board of health in
every town, Village and city! in
the Slate within thirty aavs after
each annual election j
appointment of a health officer
by every board Of health within
ten days after its organisation;
third, the report of contagious
diseases by all physieians.

Bel*ctei from Our Exchanges.
Adtir.es from Rome report bus
iness o fhe river as better than
usual at this season of the year,
and the boats are still well laden
' with cotton.
It is reported that Mr. A. S.
Barnes, of Johnson county, has
the finest field nr oats in I ha'
section. On twenty acres of land
he expects to cut one thousand
bushels, an aVefage ot fifty bush
els per acre.
The' Sparta Ishmafflite says:
Hoii. Seaborn Reese, who is one
of the first of all the public men
.of Georgia in all those attributes
which command the confidence
and esteefrf of the people, sports
the charm of a rabbit's foot to his
watch chain-
May, bright., blooming n n and
blushing May. Who is m>f trappy
and hopeful in May?— LiitColtfton
'News. Says the Tettyt ctvlt. and
Messenqer .* The office-seeker,
tbe political preacher, the spring
poet, the rejected fncer,-- the
farmer who is buying jn-o+isiOns
on lime, ami the stibsetifief who
isn’t honest enough to pat for Iris
paper. They me all utihftpp? all
through the briglil May wear her.-
but most of them are IrUppier
now than they will be hereafter.
The Atlanta Post-Appeal says:
There is a man n this city, who.
it is said, has never had a night's
rest in bed lor seven long, wearv
years, until one night when lie
was missed from iiis usual haunts
and search made for him, when
he was discovered fast asleep in
bed. This is the most remarka
ble incident in the history of At
lanta, and it is Very doubtltil if
there is anollter simitar ca*e in
the world. As usual Atlanta .is
ahead, ami wilt cpn'ann l< ,tin
end of I line.
Macon Telegragii': Yon don’t
often hear of a drink of water
costing SSOO. On returning from
their bridal (rip, Mr. and Mrs. E.
J. Willingham occupied a Pull
man car coming out of Cincinna
ti. Mrs. Willingham, about bed
time, put iter SSOO diamond ear
rings in tlie silver cup used ior
drinking water. Before retiring,
she went (o tlie cooler fora drink
ot. water, threw what she left,
ear rings aiul waler, into the
waste pipe, forgetting, until il
was 100 late,Uial tlie cup contain
ed the stones.
Monroe Adverliser.; Mr. Miles
G. Turner lias a cow that gives
four gallons of milk a day, and
the other day, desiring to see
what it amounted to in butter,
one day’s milking was churned-
It made a pound and a half ol
butter. This is at the rate often
and a half pounds a week, and is
•a yield any cow might feoj proud
of. This animal is not of blooded
stock, so far as Mr. Turner knows.
He bought her grandmother dur
ing the war,- and she was consid
ered a Sue cow, and raised her
mother andTierself. Good treat
ment generally will go along way,
even with common stook.
The Gairtesfrilie Eagle says:
The oldest inhabitant can remem
ber whefi a town of great import
ance called Murraysvitle was sit
uated in the tipper part of the
county/ where ts now ttie present
post-office of Raker. It was on
the stage line between Athens
and Dahlonega, belofe Gaines
ville was a town, arid was/ with
the exception of Uahlonega.which
(hen contained over two thousand
inhabitants/ the largest and busi
est place in this section of the
State. The largest hotel outside
of a city ever built in Georgia
! w s there, and a number of hous
es that did an immense business.
Our informant states that a circus
never visited Georgia without
going to that town, and it was a
place of great, resort during the
summer, liut now the town has
disappeared} not even a cabin
marks the spot wheie it once ex
isted. The town is dead,- but rer
membranceß of it still live in the
minds of some of our oldest citi
zens.
Education.
We hate, says the Marietta
Journal, at the South an over
supply of clerks, lawyers, doctors
nnd politicians, and we always
will havoi but we are sadJy defi
cient in men whose hands are
cultivated as well as their brains.
We lack intelligent mechanics
and civil engineers, and loremen,
uid managers of machinery. tr
we gat her enough mnuey In start
•* factory, we have to send to
other Slates to gel men , compe
tent to guide the machinery and
conduct the inside operations of
the factory, it we build a rail
road, we must at the outset im
port. engineers, and a. lei wards
men skilled in operating a rail
road. Tins is ail wrong. The
young man of the future in the
deu-tii—the best, in the land —
should stud;., as soon as he leaves
school, some depart ment ol man
ufacturing. He must first, of
course, make lumseii 4 skilled
mechanic —learn a trade in other
words —aud Ije need not and
should not tlrflike the phrase.. It
is cerlu'iniy as honorable and as
pleasant to set a horse's snoe as
to pettifog a case 111 a justice
court,or sell ribbons in a retail
store, or serve io any other half
paiu and prpca''iuus employment.

is as oselui to the future median
ic as to tlie future lawyer or mer
chant. Boys need all the school
ing they can gel ; but alter they
leave school, tel litem turn to in
dustrial rather than uroleisional
avenues. To effect this we need
as in ail oilier reforms, a change
in public sentiment. We need
a sentiment that will condemn
the folly of the past in this res
pect. Wc need a sentiment tiial
wilt recognize the fact' that the
great industries furnish the best
field lor the young man who lias
a career to make—that in them
is to be found both good wages
and the most promising and de
sirable employment that the

such a public sentiment, we can

Memoriam.
Talking Rock, Gm, May 14,’S3—
Mrs. Margret, wife of Win. Ta
lum, aged 27 years and 6 months,
died on the 7th insl. She'Tell, a
husband, two children.one an in
taut, and many relatives and
friends to mourn her loss. But
in this deep affliction they have
the comfort of believing 9he is
now basking in the sunshine ol
her Savior’s love, with dear ones
gone before. .No doubt but her
sainted mother, who passed over
the river when she was born, was
watching and wailing for her on
iy child, at the gales of the City,
where she was uermitted to pass.
Mrs. Tatum was converted in the
year 1874,aud those of her friends
who witnessed.her change say,her
face was aglow wnh the radiance
of the love of God shed in her
'heart. She afterwards attached
herseil to the M. E. church,South,
and her countenance,at the time,
indicated that determination to
lollow her Savior through ‘’good
as well as eVil report,” that
marked her subsequent life. —>
“Death has been here and borne away
A sister from ow side /
Just in the morning of her day/
As yrtong as we, she died.
“Not long ago she fitted her place/
And sat with ua ta leans:
But she has ran her mortal race,
And never can return.
our timer may be as short/
Our days may fly as fast 3
O Lord,- impress the solemn thought/
That this may be oar last.
“We cannot tell Who next may fall
Beneath thy chastening rod 3
One must be first, bat let us all
Prepare to meet our God.”
A Friend.
