and stamped on every memory. It

band on the shoulder, and to hear a
kind voice whisper, “Do not bo dis¬

A good ono in being told on nj
young fellow of an adjoining ooun-
ty who cauio over into Julies to ^
soo his “bent girl," as somu of our
corr ospoudeuta put it.
lie was In the midst of a de-
lightful conversation with the
yo mg lady on whom he had
called, when a stranger came in
a id said that his team wub stuck
in tho mud a short distance away
a I tint he needed some assis-
t nice in lifting it out. The young
el low refused at first to have his
oven jug's enjoyment interrupted
ui any such manner, but finaUv
• greed to go down to the stalicit
cam and give the traveler any
ulvice he could as to the best
nethod of extricating his wagon,
I’ho wagon was tip to the hub in
he mud and there was no way of
nuking 11 move except by lift-
mg.
“Now,” said the traveler, ( I if
,’OU will lift one of tho front
wheels while I lift the other we
will ho out of this hole in a jiffy.
“No Sir,” replied tho young
inun. “I came down here to see
my girl, not to lift buggies out of
the mud. And besides I liuve on
my Sunday clothes.
“Say,” said the traveler, “ever
drink anything?”
“Sometimes.”
t < Well,” he continued, reaching
under the seat, “here’s some good
rye ; have some. ”
And the young fellow had some,
•■von much.
11 Now.” asked tho traveler, af¬
ter a f< w minutes, “don’t you
liink you could lift that— ’
“No sir,” broke wheel’s in tho young
fellow, “that muddy and
1 won’t touch it.”
“You wouldn’t object to a lit¬
tle corn, Mould you?” queried the
traveler, producing another jug
from beneath the seat.
“No-o-o, I guess not.”
Tho young man did unto the
corn even more than ho hud done
unto M 10 rye.
After tho lapse of several min-
utes the traveler said: 1 1 That
wheel over there is not so heavy
as y )it might tl ink, and ns for the
mud, I’ll scrape thm off. What
do you say?. ”
“I’m willing to help you alright
enough hut my girl's waiting for
me. 1 )
“I’m awful sorry,” added the
traveler, “but before you go sup¬
pose we try a little more of that
ton? Now hero's some gin I bought
for my own use. It’a good, no dan¬
ger of drinking loo much. Have
some.
Jod the young man did unto
tho gin even more than lie had
done unto the corn or rye.
After a Gience of about five
minutes tho traveler began to
make another appeal hut was cut
short by tho young fellow, who
appeared to busomowbat exhilar¬
ated.
“Lifting wagons out of holes
and ditches,” he said, “is a favor¬

Hasto Makes Waste
That is what the “Old Red
Hills of Georgia" mean. <>»» r
parents, hurrying to accumulate
riches, cut the magnificent forests
from these hills and vales, follow-
tng with a system of cultivation
that impoverished the land, neg-
heting to iftte crops as a
of assisli-rce to the
ness and preventive of washing
the soil and resulting iu a condi-
tion of today with wnrnout
for tho present gene alion to
over or use their v. ito to reclaim,
Now, under proseut conditions,
two reforms must lie
about. Firnt, to bring hack to
tho furies our young men who
have gone to the towns and cities
seeking other occupations that
are more remunerative than 'Lis
possible for poor bind to give,
Second, tho adoption of plans
whereby these lands may bo made
to yield maximum crops. My ex¬
perience is that such is possible
when the proper methods are
adopted in fertilizing, coupled
with tho amount of territory to
be operated. Small farms well
managed will solve the problem.
More labor cun be expe zded to
advantage on a small furin than
one of these large ones, and twice
as much pc. 1 acre will be produced
on the smaller one. Good and
thorough preparation will
amply repay in yield of crops,
the soil ab'Oys yields to
treatment.
Tho wealth of a farmer is in
his land, and his profits do not
depend entirely cn wlint he soils.
He must compare tho crop and
price and condition of soil
ward. The soil must be left
productive as when
started, or *he farm
equal to all if not more than
seeming profits, and who 1 -
fa r in is left after taking from it 11
remunerative crop, us
us before, that farmer is certain
of success.
Now’ how can these old hills
brought to so flattering a
tion?
North of us, Tennessee, Ken¬
tucky and Virginiahuve theirc'o-
ver, which wo in Georgia cannot
raise, hut wo have the cow-pea. al¬
most, if not quite, as beneficial t<
us as t he clover is to tho north ot
us. Our best lands will yield n-
mnch ns four or live ions of pea-
vine bay per acre, while the roots
are fertilizing the soil by gather¬
ing nittogen that is costing u
nothing. From my careful obser¬
vation a crop of peas, after pick¬
ing the peas from the vines and
then vines with all the roots re
tnined on land, will benefit tin
next crop uh much as from -100
000 pounds of the modern
of standard commercial
per aero.
Hence we have picked a crop
peas that pays well for the
vation ami gained for our next
crop tho value of from -f8 to
por 1 ere. Now we have a
and a continuation of the
operations wilins, sure as au>
vere, bring to us
and satisfaction once more 111
tivating those old red hills.
Come back to the farm,
man, where it is healthy and
vigorating and adopt, the
suggested and you will, in a
years, know that this prophecy
true.—Homo and Farm.
COL. JESSE M. HUNT
COL. STUBBS IN DEBATE.
Macon Nows.
Hon Jeisio M Hunt, of
county, was the hero in Macon
last night, ami this
friends were bailing him from all
parts of the city, to congratulate
him for doing something that was
never before accomplished at a
gathering at Macon. He had
vanquished Col John M Stubbs,
of Dublin, in a debate on the
lloor in the Fruit Grower’s con¬
vention. Col Stubbs has for
years been regarded as invincible
in debate. Whether a thing was
exactly os he thought it was or
not, his keen wit and sharp re-
pnrtee made it impossible for
anybody before an audience t)
convince him or the audience that
he was in error. This reputation
has caused him to be dreaded by
all debaters.
But Col Jessie Hunt floored him
so beautifully before tho fruit
growers yesterday afternoon that
some of the members of the asso¬
ciation feared Co! Stubbs could
not survive it very long. It hap-
pened in this wav:

they have been successful. I sav to

“Then, is a taxpayer and citizen of
Georgia, whose money goes to sup¬

Jones County.
Macon News.
< t We appreciate tho good work
of the News in bringing us before
the people of the state,” said a
citizen of Jones county this morn¬
ing, “and a paper that is finding
its way into homes where other
papers have never reached in the
state, is bound to be an
and powerful factor in developing
our most profitable resources.”
Jones county’s example last
year brought of forcibly before the
minds the Macon businessmen
the possibilities of such an enter¬
prise as her county fair, and it
is conceeded by- nearly everybody
that but for the magnificent divi¬
dends made by Jones county’s fair
association at that time and for
the fact that .Jones countv has
been brought so rapidly before the
world as the natural home of tfi-
Georgia peach and as the place
where there are more fine mules,
Georgia raised hots-.-s, superior
cattle, hogs, etc., in addition to
(ho greatest variety of crops, it is
doubtful if Bibb county would
have gone into the state fair ven¬
ture with much unanimity and
earnestness this year. When tin
News ttrhl a few montl sa c o d tin
payment to M(ico:i people of sev¬
enty per cent dividend on all the
stock they held in the Jones coun¬
tv fair association, right then Ma¬
con people determined to lag be¬
hind no longer in the matter of
fairs. Indeed Macon stands as the
mother of all the neigboringcoun¬
ties, and she delights to see her
children in a healthy, vigorous
condition. Sim wants them all to
come here after they hold their
own fairs, and rival each other in
ghowing Macon and tho rest of the
world what they have been doing
with their time and tabnts, The
mother has taken courage and is
reviving her spirits because of the
onthiisiasm of tho other members
of the family.
Jones county is coming to Ma¬
con’s fair and she promises to
bring such a display as will cause
Captain Bush Lumsden to hide in
the swamp until tho fair is over.

. Prevention by Spraying.
Few funt.ua diseases affecting cut-
tivateil plants have proven more eas¬
ily or surely prevented than the Leaf
Curl of the peach. It has been demon,
Btrated beyond question that even
the worst affected orchards may, by
proper spraying at the right season,
be practically freed of the pest, and
with a single application of the treat¬
ment. Numerous fungicides have
been used and recommended, but of
them all the safest, and most effective
has proven to be the Bordeaux raix-
t- ure - This should be applied in late
winter or early spring. After ihe buds
. have become swollen the . of , the ..
germs
fungus begin to penetrate the .tissues
and tho treatment is therefore les3
effective, so that It is necessary to
begin spraying in time to finiah at
least two weeks before the trees are
likely to bloom. A little later when
the young leaves have begun to push
out and the evidences of the disease
become apparent, it Is altogether too
late, and a sprayins, so far as the
leaf eurl is concerned, would be a
waste of labor and material.
It is very important ln spraying for
this disease that every part of the
tree be reached by the Bordeaux or
other mixture used, for if a limb or a
portion of a limb be missed tho fungus
will develop upon it, and thus tend
to re-infect to some degree the rest
of the tree.
Formula and Directions.
Bordeaux Is composed of a mix¬
ture of the diluted solutions of lime
and bluestone and may be prepared
from the following formula:
6 t>ounds fresh, unslaked lime.
6 pounds bluestone (sulphate of cop¬
per).
B 0 gallons of water.
Aa much as six pounds of bluestane
and an equal quantity of lime may be
employed with safety and perhaps
advantageously In some cases. How¬
ever, when It Is desired to use Bor¬
deaux for brown rot or ether diseases
after the foliage Is out, the quantity
of bluestone should be reduced to S
pounds and that of lime increased to
nine pounds, becs-use of the injurious
effect that strong Bordeaux has upon
peach foliage.
Slake the lime carefully with just
enough water to reduce it to the con-
eiatency of thick cream and dilute to
25 gallons; dissolve the bluestone ln
25 gallons cf watar also. Then In a
separate barrel mix the two solutions,
first pouring in a bucket of one and
then a bucket of the other, or better
still, pouring then in simultaneously.
After thoroughly stirring the mixture
and allowing it .to stand for a few mo
ment 3 It la rc-ady to be strained in^o
the spray pump tank.
When thus prepared, Bordeaux Is
at Its best, consisting of a fine floe-
ulent, pale blue precipitate suspended
ln the water. If either or both of the
tnsredients should be iu concentrated
solution tvhen the mixing ts done the
resulting Bordeaux ln coarser grain¬
ed, settles much more quickly and is
less effective as a spray. Even the
beet will begin to settle quickly on
standing, and it I 3 essential that the
spray pump be supplied with ad agi¬
tator that will keep it stirred ln the
act of pumping.
The bluestone may be gotten Into
solution more quickly and readily by
suspending it in the corner of a f*r-
tilizer sack just below tho surface of
the water, or by the use ©f a small
quantity of hot water.
When a considerable amount of
spraying Is to be done, it will be
found convenient to prepare stock so¬
lutions by dissolving 25 pounds or 50
pounds of blueatono ln an equal num-
ber of gallons of water, while a like
amount of lime Is slaked and diluted
to a similar volume. Then by dipping
out five gallons of either solution it
will be seen that an equal numbec
of pounds of lime and bluestone will
be secured, and the separate weighing
and dissolving of the small tots be
avoided. The two Ingredients should
never be mixed unless diluted as b»
fore described.
