Colonel John P. Cheney
Writes of Mr. Morris’
o Fine Crops.
EDITOR THE JOURNAL:
The writer, in company with ‘‘Planter”’
Joe Hardsge. went down to Belmont
farm last week to see Hon. J. Gid Mor
ris’ brag 5-acre piece of eotton now
maturing. It was a sight to see. and is
gure to make two bales per acra. and if
the seasons from now on until frost are
favorable, “'Unele” Gid is going to
gather two and a half bales per acre
from those 5 acrea.
While there we were taken into the
confidence of Mr. Morris, and were
shown some extra varieties of ecotton
which he has planted off to itself, and
which he déclared he had never allowed
anyone else tosee It beats anything
I ever saw, and when the next State
fair comes off “Unecle” Gid will be
there and bring back to old Cobb county
all the blue ribbons on cotton. |
I do wish every farmer in Cobb county
wonld spare the time to go there and
see for himself just whst @an be done
by intelligent farming on goed land. It
wonld be an inspiration, not toeanse s
man to plant more acres, bnt to make
more baies on a smaller acreage.
Mr. Morris takes such great interest
in showing to visitors what he 18 accom
plishing, that it is a treat to walk over
hie fielde with him.
If “Unele” Gid ean do this, why can’t
more of us do the same thing?
Every farmer ought to ase this cotton
field. Jouax P. CHENEY.

Marietta Defeats Carters
ville 6 to 5.
The local teara went out in search
of a victory Saturday, and stopped
off at Cartersville, and defeated
that crack amnateur team with their
favorite pitcher Verner in the box,
by the score of 6 to 5. Awful,
wasn’t it Mable ?
Waddell, who must be a twin
brother of the famous Rube Wad
dell and, whom Marietta prides in
as the long boy with a salary whip
as good as the best in the business,
pitched a good game, and when in
the ninth inning with the score
against him and {hree men on
bases, politely lifted one of Mr.
Verner’s swift ones over the left
field fence for a home run, which
gave him a well earned victory.
All the home boys played weli, and
if our fans and fanesses would only
come out to the games and encour
age the boys; they would see some
good ball playing and then, too, a
good live ball team advertises a
town. Atlanta people believe their
team advertises their town, and
they back it right up to the min
ute with several thousand people
at each game.
