Pretty Love Ballad By
Blind Composer—W.
F. Grace Writes
‘‘The Old Sweet
Tale of Love.’’
One of the prettiest and most
catchy ballads ot the mouth is
The Old Sweeet Tale of Love,” by
W. F. Grace, the welhknown
blind composer. m>’. O’race has
already become known to the
lovers of music in Atlanta, Ins
home, and his songs have sold
readilv, Samuel J/mtern Peck
and Frank L. Stanton, twoof the
lyric poets of the South, have fur
nished wo^ds for some of his mel¬
odies.
‘*TIip Old Svreet Tale or Love”
is netter, perhaps, than his form.,
er attemp's, which have all been
good and will add to his fame as
a son" writer.
The music is attractively pre
Srnted and the accompaniment is
smooth and melodious. The
words are a pretty plea to Cupid
and swing well with the tune,
Arrangements will he made to
feature, the song at some of the
moving pictuie plays in Atlanta
at an early date.—Atlanta Consti

Macon For The Next Re-
Union.
W hen The Georgian last week
presented the claims of Chatta¬
nooga to the next annual re union
of the Confederate Veterans we
were not aware of the intention of
M aeon to enter the competitive
lists.
True to the name which floats
at the masthead of this paper, we
transfer our allegiance at once to
the Central Citv; and from this
time forward it is under her ban
nep that we wlH fi £ ht - We are
for Georgia first, last and always,
an( l nothing which we have said
in commendation of Chattanooga
can bind us to tfie support of the
Tennessee town under changed
conditions.
In the first place there is this to
be considered: Chattanooga has
entertained the old soldiers once.
Tt was the first place of meeting.
J/aeon has never enjoyed the
honor which she covets.
Nor is there any city in the
South whose allegiance to the
Civil war better entitles her to
the privilege ot becomihg th*»
hostess of the men m grav.
She is in the heart of the State
which was devastated and drehch
ed by Sherman’s march to the sea.
Moreover, some of the very last
lighting of tne Civil war occurred
on her outskirts. The environ¬
ment is Doth picturesque and his¬
toric.
There is no city in Georgia
where Southern hospitality pre¬
serves in greater degree the fla¬
vor of the olden times.
But Macon is also progressive
and wide awake. She is the cen¬
ter ot varied commercial and in¬
dustrial activities—and abode of
wealth. Her streets are wide—
her homes beautiful. She can
house the re-umon in the most
sumptuous manner; and it will be
her delight to do so.
On the eve of the forthcoming
conclave in J/obile, let it tie un
d< rstood that The Georgian is un¬
equivocally lor Jfacon in this till
between the cities. —The Atlanta
Georfiap. (
Mrs. Eveline Neal, Our
Oldest Citizen, Dead.
[continued from last wefk.]
During the war she kept sever¬
al looms and wheels going contin
uailv, making clothes tor the sol¬
diers to supply the deficciency in
sheep’s wool, she sent to the tan
vards lor cow-hair to mix with
the wooi and made nice cloth of it.
She gave the last bushel of corn
and barrell of meat. At one time
during the war, horses from her
farms had been captured, and she
had horses in both the Gonfeder¬
ate and L’mon armies. She show¬
ed her appreciation of the fidelity
and devotion of her old slaves to
the cause thai she believed to be
right bv giving each of them a
Christmas present of one dollar
from their emancipation to tie
time of her death, but of the forty
emancipated slaves, only four are
living. She also gave to them a
church lot and cemeterv—treated
them with kindness and in case
of sickness or fortune saw that
their needs were supplied.
A most beautiful and impressive
funeral service was conducted bv
Revs. W. A. Cooper and Neal
White, of the Elberton circuit, the
latter being her grandson, She
was present when Rev Cooper was
born and nurse him in infancy-
Could anv thing be more fitting
than for them to try to render as
sistance in drawing the curtain on
the last drama of her life.
Cne of the most remarkable
and beautiful events imaginable
occured at her old home after the
burial service on a beautiful Sab¬
bath eve. All ot her numerous
descendants, which included four
generations of all ages from stoop
ingage to babes in armes, assem¬
bled at the old home, aad after
partaking of dinner prepared for
the occasion had praver bv Rev
Cooper, and all joined in singing
the favorite hymn of the deceas¬
ed —“Beautiful Land.”
Here was a life of selt-sacrifice,
prefenng to promote the interest
and happiness of others rather
than herself—never failing to do
good it possible.
The facts of her life’s history
are net related in bostful spirit,
but that the young people might
know something of one so inti¬
mately connected with the histo¬
ry of our county and section
profit by the example of long and
useful life,
Her surviving children are Mrs
Mary White, of Canon, Ca. 2/rs.

Laura A/cWhorter and A. J.

How
Do You
Feed
Your Crops?
D O need, as YOU required and KNOW are and you just in furnishing what such your it shape in cotton such that quantities ari l corn the
plant can use it ?
Suppose you should put the food tor your stock in a
box, nail it up and place it in their trough—' would you ex¬
pect them to thrive and grow fat ?
Hardly!
Well, did it ever occur to you that when you use lumpy,
badly mixed fertilizers yeu are putting this same proposi¬
tion up to your crops—offering them plant food in such
shape that they can’t get to it?
Fertilizers, to do your crops any good, must dissolve in
the soil waters. These are constantly in motion, rising to
the surface during the day and sinking at night—passing 1
and repassing the roots of the plant, which absorb the food
contained in the water—and this is the only way in which ii
the plant can feed. |
1 with Therefore, the idea of when furnishing you buy food fertilizer, for you should and do the so |
your crop on ?i a
same principle that you should purchase food for your
stock. It should not only contain the necessary Ammonia, j
Phosphoric Acid and Potash, but above ail else these I
should be in soluble form —the mechanical condition j
of absorb the fertilizer every particle should of be it, such and the as goods to permit should the be plant to I j
manu- II
factured from materials that will not give up their plant
the food entire at one growing time, but furnish a steady supply throughout II |
season.
in only This is the fertilizer It is impossible you should to have produce and can goods ^et— like |l §
one way. a
this this by at home the dry-mixing with shovel of raw and materials, whether you from do J
who has made a it the a screen or buy it I
someone same way—the only differ-
i ence being in the quantity.
These materials must be ground to a powder, and it re- ■
quires machinery costing thousands of dollars to do it ■
properly. They must then be so manipulated that when ■
complete, you have a compound, each ounce of which is ■
exactly like every other ounce, and not a mixture, one ;
part of which would contain too much Ammonia and too ft
little Potash, while another part would be exactly the ■
opposite—and all of it contain plant food locked up and I
! not available. f
.. 'i [ J
Remember that the chemical analysis of a fertilizer is no I
test of its crop growing qualities. The chemist can pul- 9
I verize lumps and by the use of various means search out J
i the plant food ; your crop can't. \
You can take an axe, break open the box and get the
corn; your mule can't.
i Don’t risk a crop failure!
