AS TO LITTLE JOE.
Right at the start we will say that
“little” is very appropriate. He is cer
tainly that in and also in
every quality that goes to make a
governor the State is proud of.
We have always looked upon Joe as a
joke. He is the butt-end of the jokes
of every State of the Union.
“How did he come to get in?” is the
question often asked. Well, that is a
puzzler, anyhow, until you begin to
look at it right. Did you ever stop to
figure how many votes were ever cast
for Little Joe for Little Joe’s sake?
What elected Little Joe were the votes
cast against Hoke Smith. Os course
Little Joe got a few for being “kicked
out.” But that little sentiment has
faded—for he hasn’t been kicked lately.
In 1908 the Little Joe vote was from
those who thought Hoke had caused the
hard times. In 1910 his vote was from
those who were afraid Hoke would again
cause hard times.
The only votes that Little Joe got
that he could take home with him and
call his own were those for being
kicked.
Now you can’t talk to us about “en
thusiasm” for Little Joe. We are from
Missouri.
From this distance, and to a man up
a tree, it looks very much like Plain
Dick Russell, the man with an even
thirteen children.
OLD REB’S COTTON-
The Eagle made mention last
week of a great yield of cotton on
some of Jim Hunt’s land on Oak
street, but our reporter missed a
very important part of the situation,
and that was that the cotton was
grown by Virge Moose, better
known as “Old Reb.’’ Old Reb
jacked us up about it this week.
Well, now, we are sorry, for we saw
a field of corn on Oak street last
year grown by Old Reb on poor red
clay that was the finest piece of corn
we ever saw, and we know he can
raise things.
Old Reb is a ring-tailed reminis
cencer of the old war times. He
has writ a book about his experience
of the war—the times that tried
men’s soles—and it is full of ro
mance, humor, and pathos, but he
can’t get a publisher, for the new
generation has turned its face to
other things.
But let us tell you, Oid Reb is
up-to-date. He is no back number,
if he is old and ugly. In matters
of agriculture he is endowed with
the spirit of eternal youth. He can
give points to the sharps that run
the agricultural department of the
State University, because he has
studied things out in his own good,
solid head.
Now, to prove the pudding by
chewing the bag, Old Reb has raised
this year two bales of good, first
class cotton on one-half acre—that
was the cotton on Oak street we
mentioned. And he could do the
same on ten acres prepared the same
way; or any other number of acres.
The ground was rich on top to
begin with—red clay subsoil. The
ground was thoroughly dynamited
—broken four feet down. Then
1,000 pounds guano was used—that
was all. Old Reb did the rest.
The dry weather did not hurt it a
bit. borne ot the ground was steep,
but there was no wash, tor the
ground drank up the heaviest rain.
Now it looks this way:
Take one acre: Thirty dollars
for dynamite; twenty dollars for ,
guano; four bales of cotton, at ten
•cents; two hundred dollars on one
acre.
This is the new system of agricul- I
ture, sure as you are born.
And the ground will stay broken.
When the rains come the rich
soil will run down into the broken
clay and keep it from solidifying
again, or coming together. So the
breaking with dynamite will be per
<nanent.
But at any rate Old Reb has taken
the blue ribbon for cotton.
GAINESVILLE’S MANY IM
PROVEMENTS DESTINE IT
TO BE A GREAT CITY.
The Many Improvements that are Now Being
Made in Gainesville, Show a true
Enterprising Spirit.
We note with interest the many
improvements that are now being
made in Gainesville.
First that we mention, however,
is the water supply- We have the
best supply that a city could be
blest with, and let us say right
here, that our city fathers are taking
advantage of the abundance of
water that the city now has access
to and are adding water mains from
one end of the city to the other.
One that we specially note is the
one that is now under headway
from Main street to Athens street,
beginning at Main and High streets
and joining the Athens street main
corner Athens and High.
Another main that has been
added this year that is of vital im
portance is the main that connects
Green street main to Candler street,
and runs out Candler street to
Boulevard and thence down Boule
vard toWashington street.. This
main enables the residents on Boule
vard to have water in abundance.
Another thing we note that shows
growth and progress is the new
residences and business houses that
is now being rapidly pushed to
completion. There has been more
dwellings and business houses
erected this year than was ever
known during the history of our
thriving little city.
We notice a new street that was
only laid out last year that has
between twenty and thirty new
dwellings on it. This street connects
Bradford street and Athens street
between Summit street and College
avenue. This is Atlanta street and
was opened in early spring 1910,
and one by one dwellings have been
built, until now there are only a few
vacant lots left for building.
The Black Cats Were Out
Meow’. Sissi Scat!!
The Royal Order of Black Cats
were in a majority last Saturday
night, and kept up their maneuver
ing until rather an early hour Sun
day morning, when they were over
taken at Brenau park and handed a
greeting (a lemon) to be and appear
at Mayor’s court Monday evening.
“Yes,” said one of the old Toms,
when we were talking to him later
of the event, “we were just fixin’ to
go home; we were just hanging
around the park, to cool off a bit,
when the cops happened to spy us”.
Well, we thought that the boys
might have a right to cool off a bit
too, but not quite at this hour of
the night—l o’clock.
Mr. Rockefeller’s health is not
good, all reports to the contrary
notwithstanding. In a suburb of
Cleveland the other day he attended
a barbecue. The ’cue, it said, was
prepared by a Georgia negro, w hich
is equivalent to saying that it was
fixed right. But Mr. Rokefeller
could not eat any of it. He smelled
of the savoiy meat and smiled
sadly, but he did not eat. Any
person who cannot eat barbecued
meat prepared bv a Georgia negro
that knows how to do the stunt is
not in good health.
All sorts of sympathy should go
out to a nice young lady of the name
of Elizabeth, who lives in the citv
ot New York. Elizabeth is only
twenty-three years of age. A year
ago she met a gentleman of seventy
two who said that her eyes were
beautiful and that her hair would
grace the head of a Psyche. Eliza
beth was charmed and fell madly in
love with the gentleman. And ap
parently he reciprocated her fond
devotion, for a time. Then he be
came indifferent and quit calling to
take Elizabeth to the moving picture
shows. Now she is suing for $ 100.-
000 damages for a broken heart.
It really seems that Elizabeth
ought to nave a verdict for the full
amount. When a man as old as
that goes out to breaking hearts he
ought Ao be made topay
DR. R. E. GREEN WILL
REOPEN HIS COTTON MILL.
Mill Hands and Others Out of Employment
will Now Have Opportunity to Get
Down to Busness.
Dr. R. E. Green announced to us this
morning that on the 16th day of Octo
ber, he will again open his cotton mill,
which for some time has been idle.
The mill will be under the superin
tendency of Mr. C. A. Whitenat of
Huntsville, Ala. Mr. Whitenat comes
thoroughly recommended, having held
a responsible position with one of the
big mills at that place for a number of
years
This will be a great opportunity for
such boys and girls as are out of school,
and cannot get employment at other
places; and for older people too.
Good Woman Dies.
Miss Mary Ann Gordon, one of the
old landmarks, passed away at her resi
dence, 31 Candler street, last Sunday.
Miss Gordon was eighty years old, and
thoroughly loved by all who knew her.
Rev. C. E. Dowman conducted the
funeral services from the house, and
the remains were laid to rest at Alta
Vista, Sunday.
All flirting is barred in Kansas
City, Kan. There must be no kiss
ing in public in that town, and no
exchanging of goo goo eves. Sam
Stevenson kissed his wife in the
park. A policeman saw the act.
He arrested them. Sam told the
magistrate that they were married
and respectable people. “Twenty
dollars fine,” said the judge. Mr.
and Mrs. Hauptman were discoverd
“holding hands” on a park bench.
They were newly married and hadn’t
got over being foolish about it. A
policeman caught them and ran them
in. “Ten dollars fine,” said the
judge, who would listen to no
explanation.
