When you get the gardening fever it is a sure sign of spring. Now is a good time to do that building. Get something started. The knocker reminds us of a sore spot on a clean skin, says The Griffin News. Here is the idea. Demand home-grown products and do bus iness with home merchants. Congress having adjourned some of the boys can come home and plant their spring gardens. Now that Georgia has anew federal judgeship on her hands what is she going to do with it? The sap is rising, the baseball training season is at hand and the fish will soon be biting. Get busy. Lock the doors, turn out the lights and let the European bul lies fight it out to their hearts content. The recent grand jury covered the ground about as concisely as any similar body we’ve seen in some time. Even the preachers in Atlanta are rearing up on their hind legs and saying saucy things to each other. The Atlanta spirit is get ting belligerent. There is one thing about this foreign war. Our people are get ting accustomed to it and will be in better condition this fall than they were a year ago. The new Fulton county court house having already cost more than a million dollars, with more to come, the grand jury of that county wants a lower tax rate. The Jasper county grand jury recommended that the office of county treasurer be abolished. It was also recommended that one commissioner be provided for in place of three as at present. Savannah is after cheaper gas. If she could confine some of the gas being wasted on that new judgeship the product ought to be cheap enough. Butts County Progress. But it is valuable as the other kind, or will be, if they annex some of that admiralty practice it is designed to procure.—Macon Telegraph. WHO’S WHO AT HOME? The home merchant. Who is he? asks the Newport Plain Talk and proceeds to tell us in the fol lowing lines: “He is the chap who gives you credit when you are financially broke and carries your account until you are able to pay. “He is the chap who gives you back your money or makes ex changes when you are not satis fied with what you have bought. “He is the chap who stands behind his guaranty and makes restoration of all losses that you may sustain on goods you buy.” It is to be regretted that the recent Butts county grand jury did not recommend that the Coun ty Commissioner buy home-raised products, as far as possible, for the chaingang. But we believe Mr. Gaston will do that, anyway. The movement is state-wide and is bound to have a wholesome ef fect in encouraging the growing of more foodstuffs. A Terrell county negro sold SSOO worth of sweet potatoes the past season, getting $1 a bushel for his crop of 500 bushels after reserving fifty bushels for his own use. There is an example of crop diversification and prac tical marketing methods. —Tif ton Gazette. If the above negro will tell us where he found a market for 500 bushels of sweet potatoes, we will greatly appreciate the favor. The trouble with the farmers gen erally is that they have not yet founda sure and steady market for such produce as sweet potatoes. It is not any trouble to raise them, but it is not every farmer that can find a means of dispos ing of them in large quantities at a profitable figure.—Dublin Courier- Herald.

She was so cheerful and kind, but now she has gone away. When our Savior was here on the earth and after He had finished His work and established His church, He said these words: “It is expedient that I should go away. If I go not away the com forter will not come, but if I go away I will send you a comfort er and he shall abide with you forever.” During her long sickness her soul was only pluming its pinions for a lofty flight to that city whose builder is God, and whose gates are not shut neither by day nor by night. She is now bath ing her soul in the clear waters of that river that flows by the throne of God. A Friend.
