Wfe mention this matter merely to throw out-a bint as-to the sensible course adopted by the English people in the education of their sons. It is such fi system that makes England the strongest, most stable nation on earth, that makes her yeomanry the pride of the World, and gives her “her hearts of x»k.” When will the shoddy American father pull the paper collar of! his son’s neck and make him know what work is? These boys take as naturally to business as a duck to wa ter, Und some six or eight of them are now the leading young merchants of Northeast Georgia, each destined to an equal Success in life, because he stands on a solid basis. They form a sharp contrast to many of Athens’ pampered sons, who, rai ed on the high-pressure, fcOcoa-nut candy schedule, have not made, in the first ten years of their business lives, enough money to pay their cologne bills. ggSERAL NEgS ITEMS. mooting is again enjoying In $hio. ^^ The removal of the National Capi tal is again vigorously agitated in St. Louis. ■— THE APPROPRIATION TO THE COLLEGE, by the city will hardly be made, as it goc< before the people, and the most of John A.

Twas a failure! The Christmas was an exceptionally dull one—at least, out-ide the Iio.isjs. This was probably due to the fact that wel.-organizcd, hard-working orders of GOOD TEMPLARS AND KNIGHTS OF JERICHO have .swept the field of the “jolly ljoys,” and taught the people to prefer the solier happiness that coines from the well-fed fire-place, to the guzzling • f mt-qn liquor and dancing hilarious grigs.ro the gutter.

One reason of this is the large num ber of yoiing and. active merchants, who have lately commenced business tlicfe, and who have gradually im pressed their eiiergy and progressive- nee*, upon what has been tne probably too cautious policy of the town hereto fore.

When we remember, however, that when the University was first located at Athens, that almost any city in the State would have given a hun dred thousand dollars to have secured it, and that Athens gave nothing, it would seem that she ought to help it a little now.

Puttingabout 100 pounds more on each side of the first and cov ering it all up. This makes 300 pounds to the acre. When you plant the seed, rnn a furrow on the middle row of the three distributes. The tap roots run through the middle row, the smaller roots runs out into each of the other two distributes, aud hence one bale to the acre is made. In our judgment, it is the best plan in use.
