FOR GARDEN SEED.
The sending of garden seed to
the people of the country through
the agency of Congress has been a
long established custom and in many
instances those seed are expected

those seed. They ere few and

hesitate to say Just what he thinks
about the seed and the people who
kick at the expense. A ve-y amus

Yours truly,
S. A. ItODDENBERY.
Dear Sir: —
Your note, containing the fol
lowing, received:
“Please don’t burden my mall
carrier with any more worth
less seed packages-it is a shame
for the department to allow so-
called Congressmen to flood the
country with such worthless
etuff.
Yours truly ”
The very great urgency of your
letter demands an immediate and
full reply.
1 try to omit sending seed for gar
den planting to persona who are
weli known to be opposed to any
thing that involves work or labor,
but your name was overlooked in
culling out the drones.
Every day I am receiving requests
for these seed trom farmers, school
improvement societies, womens’ civ
ic club3, laborers in cotton mills,
merchants and other working men
who want to get out and do open
air gardening when the/ can get
a spare moment for pleasure and
profit. What a waste it was to send
you even a package of mustard seed.
Shame on me. Yes, 1 admit the
mistake. I should hav© known bet
ter. Indeed, I did know better.
There is rto excuse for me. Abso
lutely none. You are exactly rljht.
I deserved to be rebuked for such a
thing—My dear hard-worked man,
I won’t do it any more. Please let
me off this time—don’t tell anybody
If it were not a trespass on your
“valuable” time, 1 would send you
for perusal several thousand letter
and cards from “lazy and worth
less (?)” people asking for all of
these seed that I could spare them.
They seem to think they are not
worthless; but the opinion of a real
“working man,” like everybody
knows you to be, is the highest au
thority.
If, hereafter, I should by mistake
send you garden seed, throw them
over the fence to some industrious
widow or housewife who is not afraid
of a little garden work now and
then.
You complain that tho seed are
no good. The collard seed in your
package were grown In Grady coun
ty and are the finest In the world.
The other seed are tested before
sent and out aud eighty-five percent
of them will germinate. If you don't
think so, look at Joe Beverly’s gar
den or Bob Heeth’s garden or old
Comrade Sanford’s garden about May
1st. In Thomas county hundreds
of other gardens owned by people
who don’t hate work will show it.
These seed won't plant themselves,
however. It takes a little work for
that. Therefore, I beg your pardon
for sending anything

Wallings of a Bachelor.
In looking over tho files of com
munications, we have run across the
lament of a popular bachelor of
Thomasville, who expresses his re
gret in the following unique verse:
ceu n love With lots of girls;
A bachelor's life I hate;
I've all the time that I could want,
To find and win a mate;
I’ve never come la contact with,
A brick-objecting pa.
Or been deterred by brothers small,
Or loudly calling ma.
I’ve never found It hard to choose,
With whom 1 would be mated;
Oh, no ’tis quite another cause—
I’m not appreciated.
I’ve popped the question o'er and
o’er.
But it you will believe me.
There wasn't one of ail of them,
That I could get to have me;
And that Is why I’m left alone,
Now love's young dream la gone.
To darn my hose, and mend my
clothes,
And sew my buttons on.
