wild off his cattle, and M. B. Mc-
Glniy bought the farm and which
he sold to myself for 11,500. I cut
this tract up into lots and at auc

FIRST FARM
PAPER HERE v
Before our civil war a man
named White, who ran a book
store :*t the corner of Broad street
and Polices avenue, established
what I believed Is the first agricul
tural paper in the South, the
Roulhrrn Cultivator. The office
waa on th« lot next to the old Ath-
enleam Club, fronting Broad street,
after tite war. Dr. Jones bought
the Cultivator and continued Its
miblii 'ition in the brick building on
Lumpkin street, now owned by
Mr. L. F. Edwards. Tho first pa
wn- was printed on an old-style
Washington hand press nnd which
I afterwards bought to use when
I start e.i the Oglethorpe Echo.
Rev. Ellison Htone was the printer
tnd set the type for the Cultivator,
and which wus Issued monthly,
rite cultivator Is today alive and
nroaporoun, being moved to Atlan
ta. It was a veritable Bold mine

in experimental farm on the Win-
terville mad. hut neighboring far

was defeated at the February

endar to be acted upon again at
the regular council meeting in
April.
Council chamber was packed to
the doors with men and women
Interested In the subject, and the
motion of Councilman McElroy
that the question be reopened was
the signal for a season of speech-
making, both for and against the
sanitary closets, which lasted two
hours and which was engaged In
largely by physicians and members
of the Board of Health who em
ployed cogent arguments to con
vince tho council that the surface
toilet Is a menanco to the health
of the community, and citizens of
Bast Athens wht were equally os
vehement In declaring the sani
tary closets are a nulsante and an
abomination and In every way In
ferior to the surface variety, pro
vided 1 the latter Is kept clean.

during the next 30 days that tbs
sanitary toilets will be kept clean
by those whose duty It is to per
form that duty, he would vote fog
the ordinance when It Is placed
on its passage In April; but If that
assurance Is lacking, he would vote
