CASSVILLE
Farming is the avocation of over three
fourths of the people of Bartow county,
and is the basis of all her wealth and
prosperity, yet how crude in many re
spects is that farming. Many things are
done after the old style—“carry a jug in
one end of the sack and a pumpkin in
the other.”. The cause of this lethargy,
this want of progressiveness, is attributa
ble to a great extent to a want of organ
ization. There is no successful avoca
tion in our whole country but what is
thoroughly organized. The hankers
have their organization, the millers
theirs, the manufacturers theirs, the
railroad corporations theirs, and in fact
every successful business has its
clubs and is thoroughly organized. Yet
the poor farmer, in his isolation, goes on
from year to year scratching the ground
with his little old scooter plow, disdain
ing book farming, as he calls it, with no
information to guide him but his own
dearly bought experience. We are glad
to know that in some parts of our county
they are getting out of this old fogy way
of doing, and have farmers’ social clubs
formed, meeting once a month, alternate
ly at each of tho farms, where the day is
spent in discussing some appointed sub
ject of agriculture, and engaging in so
cial converse, free and unrestrained.
Now, if there were no other benefit to be
derived from these clubs than the beget
ting of a closer social intimacy between
neighbors and Inends, much would he
accomplished. But the grander features
of the organization is its experience meet
tings, its purchasing of improved machin
ery and phosphates direct from the manu
factories without the extraordinary in
tervention of middle men. One of the
clubs of the county purchased this sea
son 80 tons of acid phosphate, payable
Lt day of next November, at S2O per
ton, a clear saving, to the club of SOIO
over the price charged by guano agents.
The advantages of these clubs, if well
managed, are almost inestimable. Think
of the subject seriously, farming friends,
and determine to take the first step of
progress.
We pause to drop a tear to the memory
of our friend, C. B. Conyers, and ex
press our heart’s sympathy with the
great bereavement ot his family. We
have known Kit from our early boyhood,
intimately and well, and have never
known a more affectionate and devoted
husband, a more doting father, and a
firmer friend. IT is impulses were all for
good, and in his death Bartow county
has lost ouo of her best citizens and
many of us our most sincere friend.
Green be his memory !
The last cold spell-has injuied mate
rially the stand of wheat in this section,
especially that sown broadcast. The
wheat sown with a drill is much less in
jured. The fall sown oats are all gone.
Farmers should he in readiness to avail
themselves of the first pretty weather to
resow their oats. An oat crop is mate
rial to the prosperity of the farm.
We hope the editorial headed “Iron
Ore,” in last week’s edition, will be read
and studied by the moneyed men ot Bar
tow county. It is a strong paper, replete
with stern facts. “Nothing (as asserted
in that paper) is more assured than the
poverty of a county or Slate which
habitually and persistently ship from
their borders the bounties of nature,
unconverted into the useful by human
labor.” This equally applies to our cot
ton, to our wheat and to our hay. Every
thing shCuld be sold from ©ur borders in
its highest perfected state. When foun
dries convert our ores into iron,
factories weave our cotton into thread
and cloth, and the wheat crops
are made into flour, and the bran and
hay and gram is converted into fine beef
for the city markets, then, and not until
then, will Bartow county have de
veloped the full measure of her resources
and assumed her position as the banner
county of the Empire State of the South.

Rev. G. S. Tumlin, for a little recrea

IRONVILLE.
News is sparse hereabout. Yet though
we haven't any ot that commodity, we
have, like “A. C. S.” of Fairmount, “a
beautiful mill pond,” whose silvery
sheen oft gladdens our hearts and bids
us rejoice. Thus we live in anticipa
tion of the bright and joyous days of
the “June-titue,” when the snow-clouds
will have “folded their touts like the
Arabs, an 1 silently stolen away.” This
same pond—in the language of my sex
l should say this lovely pond—is on the
clear, winding Petit’s Creek, and sup
plies the water which furnishes the
power w hich turns the mill which grinds
tlie grain lor our enterprising citizens,
ihe Munford Bros. Again, this pond is
the favorite resort of our people of the
various grades and ages in the balmy
springtime, when the days are long and
sunny. They go there, what think you
they go for? They go there to walk and
to ride, to fish (?) and to talk, to laugh
and to dance, to flirt, and to meet one
another and have a good time. In the
spring, dear Courant, perhaps we may
meet there, too, with the others, when
we hear the first whipporvvill’s song.
Grain crops badly killed out. Farmers
are busy getting ready to plant more.
Ladies are longingly looking to their gar
dens, but it is of no use, the ground is
too cold, so they try the next expedient
and sow r some seeds in boxes.
Since neighbor “Scribbler” lias “little

enhance public expectations as to the
future conduct and management of this
journal, the names of Dr. and Mrs. W.
11. Felton are a sufficient guarantee. The
number before us is well tilled with ex
cellent reading matter. The able editorial
on Mr. Reagan’s Inter-State Commerce
Bill, is worth more than tho subscription
price of the paper. We wish the enter
prise abundant success.

Since the death of C. 11. C. Willing

edited and managed and will hold its
own as one of the best weeklies pub

IS IT A LIE?
Some one said that Potash was poison: Who
makes the assertion except those who desire to
mislead and humbug you? He who denounces
other remidies as frauds. Is quietly offering a
vile compound of liis own—beware of all such.
Ask your physician or your druggist if Potash
produces all the horrors claimed for it by those
who ere compelled to traduce other preparations
in order to appear respectable themselves.
We claim that Potash properly combined with
other remedies makes the grandest blood remedy
ever known to man, and We claim that B, B. B.
is that remedy,
If afflicted with any form of blood poison, Srcof
ula, Rheumatism,Catarrh, Old Ulcers and Sores
Kidney Complaints, Female Diseases, etc., the
B. B, B. will cure you at once.
