^ Heartily«*<!me the opinions
set forth in la-et week’s Nbh’s over
the signature of 0. C. Childs. I!y
a.striotly ibiisiness calculation
appear* 'tihut the county oommis-
sinners will do .credit to them-
selves nnd to the .county by conn-
twunandin'g their, order for -twelve
convicts. I figure it this way:
Twelve convicts hired from the
state willl cost Jones comity about
two thousand dollars a year, If
one, .two, three or any m mboc of
thtse convicts should escape, the
odwiUty would -etidI have to pay
the two thousand dollars a year
and only have the reiMiiimmg con¬
victs. In addition to this the
-Jones county school fund would
he reduced eighteen hundred dol¬
lars a year by'this convict lease.
By Slicing twelve free laborers at
hundred da liars a year
more work can be done than with
the same number of convicts, nnd
at a saving of four hundred dol¬
lars. If one should leave another
could be kVed and there would be
but KtHe loss. In dead of winter,
ivhi le it k a 1 most i m poss i b I e to
ivork roads, this hired labor -cou’d
be disbanded, a»d trfie force in¬
creased when the weather is favor¬
able. By tikis proces the school
fund will be increased eighteen
hundred dollars a year. I am only
figuring, Messrs. Commissioners,
not dictating. Look over my cal¬
culation*#^ ese how far wrong I
am.

ft is said of John Wesley that

‘‘John Wesley, because once tel'-

it is pleasant and safe to take.

With it One Horse Farm,
--
Much has been said and written
of lute an regard to the profits
earned oh lurgo farms. Practical
Pi Oil who conduct their business
on an extensive-ecnlo are pointed
to as proof that agriculture can
he made topav handsomely on-tlie
amount invested, and affords an
excellent field for intelligent
ambitious young men.
But we have heard little
nothing of what may be done in
this country on a small farm, a
one horse farm, of from thirty to
fifty acres.
It is with'interest that we learn,
from the Quitman Free Press, of
the success of Thomas Garrett, a
young ?! rooks county farmer about
twenty-two years old. Garrotthas
a one-horse farm with forty acres
in cultivation, and performs near¬
ly all the labor himself, except
harvesting. His expenses for this
year, including fertilizers, have
aggregated $250., a yd his gross
earnings have been $850. His
main-crops are: Five bales of cot¬
ton, £250, thirty barrels of syrup
$’500, two thousand pounds
con, $220, one hundred and sev¬
enty-five bushels of corn. $S0.
These items make tho gross earn¬
ings $850. Deducting the expense
of $250 leaves a profit-of $000.
If a farm with 400 acres w re
run with tlie same proportion oi
profit, the net yearly earnings
would be $6,000—the interest on
one hundred thousand. A huge
farm would show a smaller ratio
of profit, because Garrett’s own
labor effected a considerable sav¬
ing of expense in the above ac¬
count.
L'-t :us .compare the showing
made by Garret—not a phenome¬
nal one, but simply a fair average
— wiili tile average results ob¬
tained by investing the value of
his small farm in a store.
Garrett's 40-nore farm is worth,
let us say, $800, including im-
prov mentis.
A, fair efixji: of goods foi a small
store «oitid be bought- for $0(30
cash, leaving two hundred dollars
working capital. Now, in a village
-to.ro or corner grocery, it is hard¬
ly’ possible with the best manage¬
ment to turn over the invested
capital oftener than once u season
—four times a year. Lot us sup¬
pose the gross profit averages 20
per cent— ft very liberal figure.
The gross profits of (lie year will
then tie 80 per cent of (In*iiiVeat-
meiit, or $610. Items of fuel.rent,
lights, etc. would reduce tins con¬
siderably, leaving a difference in
favor of the farm.

Kisses on Interest.
A father,, talking to his care¬
less daughter, said: “1 waul i<>
speak to you of your mother. It
may ho that you have noticed a
careworn look upon her face late¬
ly. Of course it has not been
brought there fiy any notion of
vours, slhll it is your duty to ci-ase
it away. 1 want yen to get tip to-
morrow morning nnd get break -
last, nnd when your mother comes
and begins to express her surprise,
right up to her and kiss her.
You can’t imagine how it will
brighten her dear face. Resides,
you owe her a kiss or two. Away
back, when you wore a little girl,
she hissed you when no one else
wn* tempted to do so. You were
not ns attractive then as you are
now. And through those j ears of
chiljish sunshine and shadow she
was always ready to cure, by the
magic of a mother s kiss, tho lit¬
tle dirty, chubby hands whenever
they were injured by those first
skirmishes with the rough world.
And then (he midnight kiss with
which she routed so many bad
dreams, as site leaned over your
restless pillow, have all been on
interest .these long, long years.
Of course she is not now so pretty
and tempting to kiss as you are,
but if’ you had done your share of
work during tho last ten years,
the contrast would .not huso great.
Her face lias more wrinkles than
yours, far •more, and yet if you
vero sick that face would appear
more beautiful than an angel’s ns
it hovered over yon, wnt -hitig ev¬
ery opportunity to minister to
your coinsort, and evey one of
these wrinkles would seem to tie
bright, wavelets of sunshine chas¬
ing each other off tho dear face,
“She will leave von one of these
days. These burdens, if not lilted
from her shoulders, will break her
down. Those hands Hint have
dene so many necessary things for
you will be stilled. Tho-.-neglect¬
ed lips that gave you your first
baby kiss will be forever dosed,
and those sad, tired eyes will be
epenod in eternity, and then you
will appreciate your mother; but
it will bo too into then.”—Anony¬
mous.
