UNCLE JOE JONES DEAD.
In the death of Unde Joe .Tones
Franklin county loses one of her old¬
est and most honored citizens. For
more than three score years he has
led a life as spotless as frail humanity
will allow, knowing no law but to do
that which appeaued to him as right;
a devoted Christian, having for his
faith the simple assurances laid down
in the Old and New Testaments. His
motives were unquestioned by his
people. lie covered up nothing,
speaking his convictions on all mat¬
ters of public interest. We can be
greatly profited by studying and em¬
ulating his noble life.
After funeral services his remains
were intered at the Methodist cem¬
etery.
FARMING DOES PAY.
That is What Young Fanner Kayes
Has Demonstrated.
' The Toecoa News takes no stock
in the old familiar cry, “Farming
don’t pay,” an.l presents a striking
example to prove that good farming
is a profitable occupation:
Some years ago, Mr. Thomas (X
Hays, a young man, left the paternal
roof, and in various parts of Georgia
earned what seemed an uncertain and
precarious income, teaching singing
schools.
He however, was successful and
popular as a teacher, and persevered
in his calling for several years; by
prudence and economy he laid by
some money from his earnings each
year, until lie was enabled to buy a
farm of 220 acres.
Meanwhile, at one of his schools he
chanced to meet a Miss Martin, of
Oglethorpe county, a very beautiful
and attractive lady, and withal an
accomplished musician. In the course
ed’ time Mr. Hayes was so fortunate
as to claim this lady as his bride.
Site proved truly a help-meet for
him, assisting him as organist ill his
schools, and thus adding to his use¬
fulness and popularity as a teacher,
and doubtless aided in increasing his
income. She now presides with
charming grace as mistress of his
happy home.
By industry and economy, Mr.
Hayes purchased additional land, and
he now has in one body, about 500
acres, nearly 850 of which are under
a good state of cultivation.
This farm lies in the lovely valley of
Middle river, about 2.4 miles from
Carnesville. The farm is bounded by
the river on one side, from which it
extends back some distance . nearly
level, then gradually rises in a slope
arid gently rolling elevations, making
about 150 acres of rich bottom lands,
the balance well drained, and scarcely
less fertile uplands.
On this farm Mr. Hayes raises an-
nuallv about 8,000 bushels of corn;
between 50 and 00 bales of cotton;
250 gallons of syrup; oats, wheat,
potatoes, and other crops for home
consumption, besides some cattle

when Mr. Hayes bought this
• it was run down.'but he is

gradually brimri-." it to a high

A Star reporter approached one of
Elberton’s prominent citizens and
asked him from what text one of our
popular ministers had preached last
Sunday. The gentleman after a long
study, said lie could not remem¬
ber the text. “But yonder,” said he,
“is the preacher, we’ll ask him.” Ap¬
proaching the minister, the question
was put to him with precisely the
same result. lie had completely for¬
gotten his text. Finally, the two, af¬
ter talking over the general subject
of the sermon, that both remembered,
were enabled to fix the exact words
of the text, and thus an item was se¬
cured for our readers.

Raise Your Mules and Horses at Home.
Franklin comity buys at least two
hundred mules and horses every year.
The average cost is at least one hun-

we cannot afford to do this kind
business when we have so much fine
grass lands that are adapted to rais-
mg stock. 'In five years this annual
expenditure will reach a grand total
of one hundred thousand dollars.
Enough money to give us a system of
; public school, that we are very much

The school at that place is an honor

hood, the regular attendance having
reached over l*_’f> pupils.
She lias two now and magnificent
