Save Your Grass.
The following hit of sensible advice
we find in the Quitman Press:
“There is no question about it, tons
of hay arc annually lost throughout
the south by failure to cut and cure
cral) grass, which is destroyed as a
nuisance. Instead of plowing this
grass uuder, sharpen your hoe and
cut it level with the ground, cure it
and stow away iu the barn. It is a
nutritious grass, and will go far to
wards meeting the wants ol horses and
cows in the winter.”
Wc commend it to Thomas county
farmers.
- Mr. James T. Hall, every ouc re
members Jim Hall, scuds us a fine

Engineer of .Suwannee Division, S. F.

highly he is estcomod by his brother
engiueers.
Jim Blackshear is destined to be a
bloated bondholder. His pear crop,
which lias ju'st been marketed, coup
led with a find of phosphate on his
place, will make him a Vanderbilt.
Well, Jim deserves to be big rich, for
lie is one of the most genial and clever
fellows in America.
