Resolution by the City Coun cil of Dahlonega. (continued.) Another objection made by some people to the introduction of agn culture in the public schools, is that so few pupils of rural schools become farmers or agriculturists, that the time devoted to agricuL tore is time wasted. Under our present system very few do he* eomo successful farmers and ngti* euItulists; but in any easo is it a waste of time?

Let us contrast the conditions in the south with those of the state of Iowa. Both their farm pro ducts and farm property arc worth four times as much as ours. Within twenty years their farm property has increased 150 per cent while ours has only increased 50 per cent. We have rich land and many of our southern states have a greater diversity of soils than Iowa. We are as near mar kets and grow some crops they cannot grow—such as cotton, t<>- | bacco and rice. The average in j come of their farm workers is $011.00 per year, in the south it is i possibly ooly $200. What is the j cause of all of this? They have , had agricultural schools and have | trained their farmers. They till | (heir soil better, they know it bet ter and they use more machinery | and more intelligence. They have ! agriculture taught in the public 1 school*. We have Iteen commencing ai tlic top and working down, now we should commence at lho bottom and work up. This can properly 1 be done bv introducing agriculture in tho public schools. V ho cun tell the advantages and benefits likely to result from such a course? More knowledge would create a gentleman, every good cause that looks to the betterment of society. 4th.

Why He Died Rich, “Anybody can make money, but it takes a philosopher to save it,” observes Bent Murdock. “Not long ago an old friend of mine died, leaving a barrel of money, according to an exchange. He lay awake nights thinking up schemes to save money. I re member one of his habits of economy. He had a house full of children — ten or a dozen. It cost considerable to feed them.
