SOME VALUABLE HINTS TO FARMERS Rsv. J. D. Norris Writes tills Week to the Tillers of the Soil. During President Cleveland's first administration a np-v cabinet ofllce was created, tlmt of agriculture. The seero- . tar; of agriculture of the United States co-operating with the agriculture col leges of the various states and territo ries, also the state secretaries of agri culture and the various experiment stations, 'Liberal appropriations are made by Congress and the states annu ally to aid, encourage and advance the agricultural interest of our country. These departments and agencies have ami are still preparing annual reports, pamphlets, bulletins and books, and are sending them out free to millions of our farmers. The most thorough tests and scientific inventions are being made by the most competent and best equipped persons along all agricultural lines each year. So the best Information obtain able is being given the people free on this subject. Let every farmer write to Hon. Jos. Wilson, secretary of agriculture, Wash ington, D. C, and request him to furnish them each month a list of all the publications his department pre pares and he will do it; write to your congressman to send you a copy of the last year book of agriculture, and you will get one; write to Hon. O. B. Stevens, commissioner of agriculture of Georgia and request him to send you Jiis great book, “Georgia Historically and Industrially,’’ free, and other ag ricultural information, and you will get much literature that will interest and instruct you. Attend all the great expositions, state and county fairs you c in, take and read one or more good agricultural magazines or . papers; sul- scribe for u poultry paper, a dairy ^-paper, your church paper, and of course you Will take, pay for and read the Vienna News first.. What is called the .“Farmers’ Heading Courses” are be- A timing quite general and popular, and exceedingly valuable. It originated with the Farmers’ Institutes. In many part- of the country farmers’ institutes are held very much as the school teachers have their institutes. ■ - It would be a great thing if the farmers of Dooly county would have a good fair each year in connection with a farmers’ institute. We should have a county poultry and stock association held with the county institute and fair. The plan of the fanners’ institute it . conducted on the Chautauqua plan. . Study such subjects as Soils and Crops, Live Stock Feeding and Breeding, Dairying, Fruit Culture, Gardening, Farm Economics, Domestic Economy, etc. The best text-booka on these subjects are studied and used at the institutes. Let the farmers get them good farm libraries by all means. Fanners should give more attention to good seed, they lose even million of dollars each year by using poor seed. A little care and attention given to the selection of good seed would remedy this great loss to our farmers. Be sure to use good seed, even if it becomes expensive, it will pay you to secure the best. All the money you put into good seed will pay you amply. Farmers should give more attention to marketing their produce. If you have cotton, see that it is gathered clean, well ginned and neatly packed before marketing it. If you raise fruit, put it into neat and convenient crates, and in packing, grade and label each crate and it will pay you. If you have eggs, let them be packod in a . suitable basket and be sure they are all fresh and clean, no one will buy atale filthy looking eggs; If you have batter, see that it was made from good milk, _ churned, carefully worked and stamped free from hairs and and such things, in clean vessels and cloths. " Pare water on the farm is ’ of tbs greatest importance to man and beast. Be carefol to locate the well inthe best place to obtain the purest water. See that no impure drainage affect* the well. Let no fertilising materials dr (ft into the well. Keep wells well covered If pumps'or windmills are used, then secure the best, bee that your stock and poultry arc well supplied with pure water. J. D. Nouns. mu Dr. IL A. Younus Will Occupy the BnlMIog Vacated. The postoffice was moved next door into the Hargrove building Monday, which was formerly used tor a millinery store by Mrs. R. P. Mitchell. This is a much: larger and more suitable building than the old one. The-building was leased from Mr. Hargrove by J, W. Roberts, and rented to Postmsster Middleton Mr. Roberts recently purchased the postoffice furniture and fixtures used in the office at Cordele, prior to the time of its being fitted up in new and larger quarters with new furniture. It is in first class condi tion however, as it had only been used a few years. The change was a needed one, and our people feel under many obligations to our clever postmaster for his keen foresight in giving us u commodious building and thereby rendering himself better able to give the public the very best service possible. Dr. H. A. Yountan*. Vienna’s up-to-date jeweler and optician, has moved into the building vacated by Postmaster Middleton, where he will be enabled to give the public a better view of what he has for sale. Mrs. Mitchell has moved her stock .of millinery goods into the store formerly occupied by Dr. Youmans. CARD TO THE PUBLIC. Vienna, Ga, June 80th, 1002. As you doubtless know, I sold to the Vienna Cotton Oil Co., or rather to Thomas Eggleston, as trustee for same, my ginnery and transferred my com mon lease on the Roundlap compress and bat-former and condenser along with some good will. Now good people who stood with your shoulder to the Roundlap Ginnery and not only patron ized it, but helped me with the “new and untried” package, I ask you to allow me to thank you again for your loyal aupport and I trust the same good will, will be rendered the new concern, as they are able and willing to extend to you the same glad hand as glnnera and buyers of cotton, also other prod ucts as they may manufacture from time to time. A goodly portion of this company (s composed of our neighbors and best business men, who once could not sc* the advantages of putting their cotton up In Roundlap bales, but like sensible people have changed their minds and will put their great nuns and dollars to the Big Wheel of the East Vienna Ginnery and roll out more round lap cotton than ever before. Hoping all a pleasant and prosperous business with the new company, I am, Very truly yours, D, B. -Thompson.

Americas, Ga., Jane 30.—The ordinary of Sumter will, at an early date, call an election here on the local option question. Sumter has, supposedly, been “dry'! for the past four j*ears, but the enormous sale of liquor here illegally wi’hin that time induces the belief that the next election will make a change. The county is infected with blind tigers and the sale of whiskey goes on as undsr the former regime, while neither the city or county derives any revenue therefrom and city taxes are at the too notch already. Some 1,700 voters are registered, and the number will be increased to 2,000 before the date of the proposed election.
