This is just the way ho led off in
abolitionism a good many years ago,
which finally resulted in one of the
Moodiest revolutions ever brought
about by a civilized people. Ben’s

as he is now on the decline, we would

The l’rollts of Fanning.
The result of the farm products
for the past year have by this time
been sufficiently ascertained to ena
ble most of our farmers to calculate
the profit or loss of their labors. Ihe
report of fthe premiums (some of
which are published elsewhere in this
issue) from the State Fair, recently
held in Atlanta, shows that some of,
tour people, at least can eultivtae the
soib-so as to make it-pay. And these
inen are not limited to any partic
ular locality, either as to climate or;
character of soil. AMlilo some who
have thus successfully reaped the re
wards of their toil live in upper and
middle Georgia, yet the lower part of
the State lias not been deficient.
Thomas county has shown what some
of her enterprising citizens could do,
and wo are "indebted to our worthy
fellow-citizen, W. 11- Groover, for de
monstrating that under judicious
management the soil of Brooks
county will return generous profits
to theiindustrious husbandman.
But our object in this article was
not so much to notice the premiums i
awarded by the State Agricultural
Society as to call attention to the facts
{bus made apparent that for a farmer ,
to be successful the soil must be liber
ally manured and thoroughly cultiva
ted. This is the grand secret of all
profitable icroj’s. Small farms well
worked, instead of large fields hastily
‘run over, should be our aim. AVhat
,ever is done, let it be well done.
'This rule will apply to all other busi
ness and {trades as w ell as farming.
\Vo do not object to broad acres,
provided we do not sacrifice thorough
tillage for the increased number of
acres. It seems to us it lias been
demonstrated over and over enough
to satisfy all of our people that large
plantations merely skimmed over and
yielding but little per acre will not
pay; while if there is any profit at all, ,
it results from the contrary course.
There is the :Sving in fences, there is
the improvement in land, the saving
in plow ssitock, and besides, there is so
much more satisfaction in seeing a
neat, dlean, [thrifty, vigorous crop,
even if simall, rather than little dw in
' (Ring corn and cotton scattered over ;
,a large area, and having a hard con
test for mastery with the weeds, i
grass and briers.
Wc would like to say something
about the advantage of a greater di-.
versity in our agricultural products, i
but omit for the present by only urg
ing upon our planters the suggestions
-we have made, hoping that ns they |
are beginning perhaps to make some
for another year, they'
may give heed thereto, and to make
'tliei-r arrangements in future to dis
pense with these broad fields of half
starved corn and cotton that bring no :
profit to the owner, and are anything
but a 'recommendation .to our coun

[From t!io Atlanta Tlotilil. ]
A It raid reporter on yesterday
( went through the books of the Secre
j (ary of the late State Fair, and dis
! eoYitred some facts which will aston
; ish every reader of the Herald , and
j fill the mind of every Georgian with
pleasauf surprise. The facts stated
! below will furnish a complete and
unanswerable argument in favor of
j our State over Nebraska or Texas, or
any other country on the globe. There
is surely no wisdom in leaving a State
‘ where such results can be obtained.
The figures we present arc official,
and represent the results of (rialsfor
premiums approved at the Fair. The
j first three or four are not important,
and •_> v*-, merely presunted in order
that the list may be completed.
REST .ACRE OF COHN.
The premium of SSO for best acre
of upland corn was given to Mr. J. L.
Boynton, of Calhoun county, (la. He
produced upon on one acre of upland
07 bushels ot corn, 21 bushels peas,
2100 ibs of fodder, and 1,000 lbs, of
; pen-vine liav. His net profits on the
acre was $183,25.
The best acre of low-land corn was
cultivated by Air. Jas. M. Cox, Greene
county, (fa., and produced only 81
bushels of corn. Air. Cox thinks that
had it not been for a severe drought
in August that he would have made
over 100 bushels. Home of the ears
are 11 inches long.
grass ciiors.
The best acre of lucerene liav was
taken from a patch of 4 acres, handled
by Air. K. Peters, Ja, which produced
(the 4 acres) 14 tons and 200 lbs.
jjiis had been planted four years.
Tho best acre of native grass hay
was produced by Air. D. AY. Moody,
of Greene county.
THE PRIZE ACRE OF COTTON.
It will be remembered that last
year Mr. T. C. Wart hen won the j
prize for the best acre of cotton by \
producing the incredible amount of!
live bales on one acre. The same pre
mium was one this year by a yield of
2' bales, or 010 pounds of lint cotton.
It was believed at the time that Afr.
AVarthen’s yield of live bales was ac
cidental. and could never be repeated. |
ills friends assert, however, that had \
it not been for a terrible storm which j
swept through his field this year, lie
would have bcatau his last year's I
work.
A WCIT YIELD OF SYRUP.
The premium for the best acre of
sugar cane was given to Air. John J.
Parker, of Tliomasville. He produced
692) gallons of pure syrup from one;
acre. The gross proceeds of the acre \
was $453.10, the whole expenses $11),- i
10, leaving a net profit of $443. This
is an enormous yield, and yet the for
mula by which,it was accoiuidished is (
quite simple. A\*e present below the I
modus aperanili:

It is second quality plain land, new

planted last year in cotton. Broke up |
deep, with a turn shovel plow, the hit- j
ter part of January; laid off the rows I
three feet eight inches wide, with a j
small shovel plow, two furrows to the |
row; cut the cane from one to two !
feet long, and dropped it nearly dou
ble; then strewed about thirty bushels j
killed cotton seed in the furrow on the
cane, then covered the cane with a
small scooter, two furrows to the row.
First plowing, ran four scooter fur-;
rows round the cane and finished mid-!
dies with a turn shovel. Second j
plowing was with a winged scoop,
three and four furrows to tiie row, and j
then applied thirty mole bushels cot
ton seed on the sid. of the cane, gave
it two more plowings with a scoup
and two booings and laid it by.

RICE CROPS.
On one acre of upland soil, Mr. P.
H. Bower, of Thoninsville, Made 92
bushels of rice, clearing, as a net profit
8202 70.
I A BOY WHO SUPPORTED HIMSELF AND MADE
S6OO.
For the best crop made by a boy
under 21 years of age, E. C. Nesbitt,
of Jonesboro, took the prize. He
made by liis own labor SOSO worth of
| corn, wheat, cotttoiT, etc., which he
j sold, besides supporting himself.
Air. Jesse K. Cox, of Greene coun
ty, a boy of 10, made 55 bushels of
corn on one acre, and a bale and a half
of cotton on another acre.
A SPLENDID ONE-HORSE FARM.
On a one-horse farm, Air. J. S. Boy
nton, of Calhoun county, made pro
ducts that sold in gross,(for $2,940 33.
The total expenses of running liis farm
was $449. This left him as the clean
I'net profit of the one-horse farm, $2,-
: 491 33. This result cannot be beat
: anywhere.
Mr. AY. A\ T . Groover, of Brooks
| county, on a two-horse farm, raised
! $3,217,50 worth of crops. Hisuxpen
ses were SIOOS, which left him $2,012,
Isoas a clear profit. This beats any
business in the world.
I HOW FOUR ACRES NL'PI'OUTED EIUIIT PEOPLE
IN AFFLUENCE.
For the premium $2lO offered for
j the best support made for a family of
j 8 white people off of tho smallest,
number of acres, Air. .J. Cox, Greene
county, won it. On 4 acres, he snp
portedjliis family well and generously,
giving them more to net than a city
family would cat in two yen vs. This
is a temple for Georgia, and we pre
sent liis diseription of liow it was done
It is worth reading:
Your exhibitor would state that he
has eight white persons iii family, viz:
I Self and wife, three sons and three
; daughters; that he hires no help; that
j he has selected four acres of his crop,
J cultivated by himself and family the
present year, from the resultsof which
he bases Ins entry for the premium ill
question; the said four acres being
cultivated in corn, one acre of which
has measured out eighty-one bushels,
and presents certificates from disin
terested persons, who stale that the
other three acres are comparatively
equally as good as the acre measured.
He therefore safely estimates the tour
acres at seventy-five bushels per acre
y ield, or 300 bushels of corn, besides
shucks, fodder, hay, etc., enumerated
! below. This, in connection with his
small garden, potato and turnip pate.li-
I es, not over one acre.more, makes,the

DRY, INDEED!
An honest old farmer from the
j country gave his recollections of the
i hot spell as follows: “It was so dry we
J couldn't spare water to put in our
[ whisky. The grass was so dry that
every time the wind blew it flew
around like so much ashes. There
wasn’t a tear shed at a funeral for a
j month. The sun dried up all the cat
! tie, and burned pff the hair till they j
looked like Mexican dogs, and the
slieep all looked like poodle puppies,
j they shrank up so. AVe had to soak
! all our hogs to.make them hold swill,
and if any cattle were killed in the
morning they’d be dried beef at dark.
The woods dried up so that the farm
ers chopped seasoned timber all
through August, and there ain’t a
| match through all the country—in ;
fact, no wedding since the widow
Glenn married old Baker three
\ months ago. AA’liat few grasshoppers
! are left are all skin and legs, and 1
didn't hear avtfia-kettlo sing for six
: weeks. \Yc cat our potatoes baked,
■ they being already, and we couldn’t
get water to boil 'em. All am in 1 t'i *.
! rod-headed girls were afraid to stir
out of tlie house in daylight. Why,
' wc had to haul water all summer to
keep the ferry running, mil - snv, it's
* getting dry; let’s take sutliin’.”
The .fireman of the steam-heating
apparatus at the Central depot yester
day found a penny as he was raking
over the hot ashes in the furnace, and
he took- it up with the tongs anil plac
ed it on a bench outside to cool off'.
It had hardly commenced to coll when
j a heavy man named Johnson, living
in Saginaw, Came along. He was
talking business with a friend, and as
he. came to the bench lie parted his
coat tails and sat down on the penny,
remarking: “As I was saying, you
Cjiu have forty acres for—whoop !
Thunder and blazes-—ynch—dash it
—-gosh to whoop!” lie gallopped
around in wild amazement, the hot
penny sticking to him like a brother,
and it was two or three minutes be
fore any one found out whether he
had dropped down on a tack or been
bitten by a dog. There was a heavy
aroma of burning cloth arid blistered
* meat, and Air. Johnson stretched his
arm and exclaimed that he should
devote the remainder of liis life to
hunting down the fiend who thus
planned, to waylay him. —Detroit Free

Whereas, On Thursday, l‘2th inst., the
aforesaid McNamara did again on the Fair
Grounds at Thomas ville, charge the Social
i Has.-Hall Blub with wishing and intending
j to take one of the premiums, ottered by the
Fail* Association by foul means, if not by
fair, thereby impugning the honor of the
club as a club and as gentlemen. Therefore,
j be it
Unsolved, That we pronounce the charges
above mentioned slanders upon Uie Social
Base BalK'lub, and the individual members
is gentlemen, and we further denounce the

slanderer, beneath and unworthy the re
spect ol all decent people or persons, and
I that AVe hurl back Avifcli the contempt they

2d. That we regret to see a set of gentlc
-1 men, such as compose the Wide Awake B. B.

and this after they learned that the Jeffcr-
J sons would not be present to play the game,

A PAPEJt FOR THE PEOPLE
The Morning Ms,
i It would require the scope of quite a large
volume to contain the good things that are
I said about the Morning News by its contem
! poraries ol tbe Southern press. It is almost
j and ily referred to as “the best paper in the
| South, “the lending Georgia daily,” etc.,
| oid it is generally conceded to he in all res
pects a model Southern newspaper.
This is the fame that the Mornino News
, covets, and no pains will he spared hercaf
j te.v to make it still worthier of the contl
[ deuce and patronage of tlie people of (ieor-
I gin and Florida. Tho ample resources of
the establishment will lie devoted to the im
provement of the paper in respect, to its al
ready large facilities for gathering the cur*
l ent news ot the day. and its stuff of special
has been reorganized with a
view to molding every possible contingency
that may arise.
Although the Morning News lias little or
no coiupv lit.cn within the fu hi oi its eircu-
I hitior:, iiov rib- le • • no effort will bo con id-
I ered ton expensive that gives tlie eailicst and
fr -ahest information to its read rs. In this
I r speet there will be no relaxation of the
I endeavor to keep it far ahead of all its oon
! tempomrb-K.
The feature., that have rendered the paper
, ->0 popular will be maintained. The edito
rial department will b* conducted with the
same dignified thoughtfulness, conservative
| vigor, and earnest devotion to principal that
1 bu\c always characterized it. The lacy re
liability of tho local, and the accuracy and
completeness ot the commercial departments
will 1)0 kept up to tlie old standard, and im
provements ay ill be made wherever they
are suggested by experience.
The Morning Nkavs is the only Savannah
paper that publishes the Associated Press
dispatches and the telegraph* market reports
authorized by the Commercial Bureau of
I New A ork C-itv. In addition to this, the lo
cal market reports will be lull and reliable,
and will be accompanied by such comment
as will enable the business men of Georgia
and Florida to form estimates as accurate
and as intelligent as if they were in the
j city.
In a word, the Morning News will com
prise every feature that renders the modern
I newspaper attractive, and its readers may
confidently look to its columns for the latest
information in regard to everything of cur
rent interest. It will admit of no rivalry in
its own proper field, and will allow no com
petitor to outstrip it in any department ot
journalistic enterprise.
