Judge Maddox, of Home, is
prominently mentioned as a can-

will cause some others, who are

suddenly remember that their

The roust given Editor Adams,
of the Kate.tm, Messenger last
week by Mrs Felton might have
made him feel a little “Lone¬
some" but we bet he’s of the same
opinion still.
Chief Ball, of Atlanta, had the
nippers on Major Woodward at
one time, but Atlanta’s reformed
hut unforgiving Mayor put tho
Rail on the bounce laet Friday
night by relegating him to pri¬
life.
Putnam and Morgan will noon
begin work on their new court
houses. Would it not boa good
idea f or Jones to purchase one of
their old ones? Either of them
is forty times better than our old
sweat box.
The Bainhriege Search Light is
hump-hacked over the way the
boys of the press dots down its
candidate’s name—Jimsmith.
The hump will grow larger and
the mviner of spelling smaller
before the uaiue is prefaced by
g iveruor.
Brooks county lias already se¬
cured space for a county display
at the Stato fair in Atlanta next
fall. Brooks county always makes
a fni6 display and has won many
premiums. As Jones will mnko
no display she lias a fine chance
of bearing off first prize this year.
Sain Jones has come out flal-
footod for Howell. Now if all tlie
other voters in the state by that
name so express themselves, with
a few Smith’s thrown in, Mr
Howell can begin to brush his
his punts preparatory to taking
his seat in the gubernatorial chair.
Leonidas Longserviug Living¬
ston says that that appropriation
for Atlanta’s new government
building will be forth coming
next year. Getting appropria¬
tions for lus district is Living-
Bton’s strong card, and when they
cease to come he will cease t 0
draw his salary in Washington
and no one realized tins tuet >et*
ter than the foxy congressman
from the fifth.
Tho latest entry for Pope
Brown’s place on the railroad
commission is one John C Cole-
mun ' of Swainehoro Ga. Among
. . , .
the reasons given w ny lie snou
receive the appointment are that
he is wealthy and that his county,
Emanuel, w as the only one 111
that section of the state which
gave Governor Terrell her vote.
The man who honestly accumu-
lutes wenlth deserves credit, and
no doubt the Governor is grateful
for Emanuel’s vote, but wealth
and gratitude alone are not
cieut to warrant such a gift. Tho
editor of this paper has had
pleasure of knowing Mr Coleman

knowledge unhesitatingly assert;

Farmer Cotting’* Diary
for 1!)()S.
March 1st — I have just sold my
last hale of last year's cotton at
7c and paid it on my debts. I (ind
I am behind on last year about J i
#200. 7 have com enough to run j
me one month longer, but nm out
of meat and flour. I must make
arrangements to get my supplies.
Some of my neighbors will cut
their cotton crop thisyear. This
will give me a chance to increase
1
n iine, and gut a big price next
f u || on a large crop and lift me
of debt, with money left. J

to cut theirs. I will fool tho I beys j
this time but I feel like am j
obliged to do it. I made arrange- j
ments today to get my corn, meat
fl'»«r, etc., but gosh! these times ,
prices are awful. They count up
money fast. 1 bought a little
more guano than I did last year. j
It took more for my J cotton crop 1
than I expected.
Mfty lit _ /liaVo got my crop

p|ant g(j much Coril tll j 8year that
I will just pitch in next full and
buy what I’ll need for another
year, cheaper than I can raise it,
corn is uncertain any way on my
land. I have got a good stand of
cotton and that giano is making
it hump.
June 1st—I had a nice rain to-
day, and my cotton is doing fine,
^ , , Jave bePn around week,’ lhe settle
ment 8ome this and find
the hoys have fooled ine. They all
planted more cotton than last
year. I nm afraid I made a mis-
tako in not planting plenty of
corn, and some wheat and oats,
and less cotton. I have’nt got
any pigs. This time price corn
is too high to feed pigs on
July 1st—Had to go to Athens
today, and lay in some more pro¬
visions to run on. The niggers
have eat up ull the flour and meat
I got in April. Thought I had
„|. 0 ugh to get through on. Gosh 1
; f c6lton a j„t high this fall I am
ru i n „ d- Crop looks fine and they
say, crops are fine everowhere
Texas included.
August 1st—Am through laying
by my cotton crop. I went down
to Athens yesterday and bought a
top carriage and harness, mid my
wife got a nice hill of dry goods,
mi merv, etc. We had it charged
to my account. Gosh! that ac¬
count looks big. Crops look so
fine I think me and my wife can
afford to put on a little more
style now.
September 1st—My cotton is
opening light along new and I
must get to picking next week.
They say cotton is going to be
cheap tlu° fall, so much made and
a whole lot carried over from last
year. They are offering Co at
Athena today.
October 1st—I have picked and
sold 10 bales of cotton and think
1 have got about one third of it
out. Price 5c now, and everybody
savs it will! go to 4c in n few days
I don’t see what we poor farmers
are to do. 1 urn thinking of go-
ing to Texas. It will take every-
thing I have got 1st—Well; to pay me 1 out.

At a recent meeting of the
lmard of directors of the Georgia
Farmers’ Fair and Livestock Ex-
position, / was elected to the po-
sit ion of general siiperenteiident
and general nunngor of the Fair
to be held in Macon, commencing
October 24th to November 8id in*
elusive, I shall use my best «f*
forts with your co-operation to
make this one of the best Fail's
that Georgia bus ever had.
I regard the premium list an
ideal one, and one which will
arouse interest over the stale
"lie horse farmer Jias an equal
chance with a farmer who rune
fifty plows. Ther* is not a pre-
mium offered for farm products
-a..* <•»,
l he prunrtitn tor live slock is
$1,000 moro for this 1‘ air than it
was for the State Fair last year.
The premium for home industry
and floral department* are the
largest Hint have eve. been oiler-
«1 by any t a.r mG-org.a.
A few.words to the ladies. We
want your co-operation, wo need
it, we must have it, if our offoits
are to he crowned with success.
God bless them, they are always
ready to help in laudable enter-
pulses.
Thtre is nothing more helpful
to bounties limn county fairs, and
there is no medium through which
a slate can better advertise its
wealth and resources, '"than by
making an exhibition of her farm
products, minerals, vegetables,
fruits and flowers.
Fanning has been my occupa¬
tion all of my life, and I am
in thorough sympathy with the
farmer all over the state. Doubt¬
less, the Smith tamily will try to
capture many of the handsome
premiums.
The premium list’ is in the
hands of the printers and will he
ready for distribution in a few
days.
For further information about
the fair, write to Mr Eugene An
demon, Secreary; or J M Hunt,
General Superintendent.
