Editor:— Is Decatur County going to have an exhibit at the state fair at Savan nah this fall? If so I have not heard of it. It does seem that the citizens of the largest and most influential and most progressive county in south-west Georgia are lattiug a mighty good chance go by to adver tise their resources, advantages and progressiveness. Why not have an exhibit? We can easily prepare one that will be a credit to us and do an unoalciilable amount of good. The merchants and business men of Bainbridge could oill a mass meet ing, coramitees could be appointed and the machinery set in motion that would soon gather an exhibit that would be a credit to any county How we do need an association of our business men to take hold of and exhibit just such chances as this.

Within recent years it has come to he acknowledged that the vocation of the farmer is the most dignified Of all the sciences, and as an Art R is excelled only by those of painting and architecture, says an esteemed contemporary. In its highest forms it is the most learned of all the pro fessions. A knowledge of geology and chemistry and thfcir relation to the soils lies at the very foundation of scientific agriculture. The prob lems that arise from the complex nature of the soils and their origin require the best thought of the best minds to solve. More educated young men should be farmers. Ag riculture opens a wide field leading to influence and power—one, too, that is not filled to repletion. It holds forth the most spleudid prom ises for young men of ambition. It is filled with liberalising tendencies, a noble conversation and the most healthful and invigorating influences. The day is not far distant when ag riculture will attract men of the largest capacity and the highest ex ecutive ability, and be regarded as the greatest of all the professions. Let anyone who is familiar with what agrioulttire was a hundred years ago compare its condition then with what it is to-day, and he will search iu vain for the same proportionate ele vation und progress among its fol lowers in any other branch of human industry. Many of those engaged iu agriculture now are men of Jbigh' uducat'oii and brood reading. Many of them have extensive and valuable libraries, and take numerous jour nals devoted to their business. Ag riuultiire moves along in its own quiet, dignified, but in esistible way. It has no booms, so to speak, but it gathers strength with eauh decade and with every accession of know ledge, and will forever be the most important branch of human industry and the greatest necessity for the human race. It the young men who are measur ing tape and laces would surrender their work to the youngs girls who are seeking employment and turn their attention to the pursuits of ag riculture, there would be less misery ■ and more contentment in the land; there would bo more independence ar.d less servility; more happy wives with comfortable homes, healthful children and oheerfnl tempers, A woman surrounded by all the active agencies of a well-kept farm, aud living in a beautiful country honue “with fountains and flowers and sweet evergreens,” has those environ ments Mint develop the sweetest graces and highest impulses of her nature, and make her virt ifes shine resplendent above the world of friv olity and fashion. She becomes a true woman, the happiest of wives and the best of mothers. Such a home and such a wife realizes our highest ideals of human happiness. It is a home where intelligence reigns and ennobles work, and work crowns intelligence with honor and profit. A young man who is in search ot an easy place, with no.responsibility will never control others. He who selects a vocation because it is easy is already effeminate.—Savannah News.
