We received a letter yesterday
from M. Halsey, who moved
to south Georgia about Christinas.
He says the neighliors hauled him
in a load of corn, a load of oats,

Mr. P>. J. Dyar brought in a
bunch of oats from the country
last Saturday which measured
three feet in height!). Some of the
oats w*re ripe and some green. He
say there is about one acre in the'
field on Mr. Caudell’s plantation
in Washington district, which wiU
lie cut sometime in January. This
will probably ’a the first crop of
oats ever harvested in Banks coun
ty in this mouth.
' How Wilf It Be Next^aTT
There’s a saying "all goes well
that ends well.” But to the farm
er it depends altogether how we
start as to the ending. If we have
plenty of that old time strawberry
rifrn to start with it will mean a
! happy ending. Plenty of corn
1 will make the horse mend his gait
i and the pig outgrow his pen, but
[if you have it all to buy. next
fall your wife will have to
wear the same old dress and that
little girl of yours will have to go
without its Christmas present, and
that boy of yours will tie deprived
of something that it takes'to make_
men great. f
But where is the trouble! Lis
ten, and T will tell you. It de
pends a great deal on the landlord
who insists that his tenant shall
plant all cotton. Yes, ah cotton.
Oh, well, sometimes they will let
tenants have a garden off in some
place where it is so poor that a
bumblelK'e would wear himself out
before lie got low enough to find a
blossom. And what do you think
of a man who will rent land on
shares and plant all cotton and pay
$1.50 per bushel for corn and fif
teen cents for meat and work his
wife and children JS months in t he
year to make and gather it. Well
the next time you pass him in the
readjust notice the shape of his
head.
And another mistake the tenants
make is in moving every year.
Why they were so thick over on
this side recently they could scarce
ly pass each other in t he road. One
brother counted thirty wagons in
one day and the drivel’s were all
hunting new homes. Why, not
rent from three to five years?
Listen, I will tell you something
that will do you good,and it would
be worth a hundred thousand Hol
lars to Banks county if the people
would only follow the example of
the'nieu of which we speak, fora
period of five years.
I have been personally acquaint
ed with three men in this county,
all of whom lived to be old ami
were successful m life, who never
bought a pound of meat or a bush
el of corn in their lives, and one of
them never bought a pound of
flour. For fear you will doubt my
veracity I will give you the names
of the gentlemen. Uncle Jesse
Pricket't., Billy Boling and John
Strange. \V. I. Smiu.i.ky.

A Family Reunion-
AY. H. Meeks and wife, who are
visiting their children in Wilcox
county, arranged for a family re
union at the home of Mr. George
W. Begins on Christmas day.
There were twenty-seven children
and grandchildren present on the
occasion. After spending • the
morning horn's in very pleasant
conversation dinner was announc
ed, and when the guests entered
the dining room they found a table
laden with an abundance of sub
stantial edibles and Christmas del
icacies to satisfy the inner man,
After thanks wore returned by W.
11. Meeks the happy party partook
of the sumptuous repast in true
south Georgia style.
In the afternoon, while the chil
dren romped and filled the house
with merry laughter, the older
ones arranged presents on a Christ
mas tree in a school house near
by. At six o’clock all went to the
tree and found it loaded with pres
ents which filled the children’s
hearts with joy. 1 low their little
eyes would brighten when their
names were called, and how the
older ones would smile and hold
out willing hands as the little to
kens ot Jove were being delivered.
There were presents for one and
all, and the occasion was a pl eas
ant one, indeed, and long to Vie re
membered by me.
The-largo assemblage was order
(icily, which is characteristic of
the south Georgia people,for whom
we have nothing but praise, as
there are none belter on God's
foot stool \Y. 11. MKKKS.
This Beats Joe Kanle;^.
Last week we noted the fact that
Hr. Joe Manley made 10 bales of
cotton with one mule and said
that if there was a man in tlicwtati'
who could beat it we wanted his
name. Now comes Boon Suddeth,
of Marseille, who while not under
oath, deposeth and sayeth, that he
had on one of his farms this year a
kinky h aided negro who made .six
teen bales of cotton with a little
$55 mule; on another farm Bunco m
Green, a white man, made 27
bales with one mule. 27 bales?
Yes, that’s lmt Boone.said. Boone
will never wilfully affiliate with
the ananias club, lie jokes a lot
and it is sometimes difficult to tell
when he is joking and when he is
in dead earnest. But in this state
ment he wants it understood Ire
is in dead earnest. That man
green actually made 27 bales pi'
cotton with one mule. This takes
the cake. If however there are
others we would bo Gad to hear
from them.—Commerce News.
