ty. Oh, what a magnificent country culture
originally . was, and if wise
had prevailed, no section of Georgia
would compare with it. As it is,with
idly restored and the vision of the fu
tureis good and lope u .
is observable everywiere la
land-owners are land-poor, in other
words almost every farmer owns too
much land. If three parts of hispos
session was disposed of and invested
even at a small interest and his farrrr
ing operations concentrated, he would
be happier and more prosperous. It
cannot be wise to pay tax on dead
caoUal in land paying no in
terest Careful observation shows
that thatsma small farms pay vy best and it is
true that Harris county couId have
more than four times her present
farms to great advantage, The farm
ing outlook in the region of Wisdom’s
Store, Whiteville, New Hope, Moun¬
tain Hill and Nigger Heel is promis
mg. The farmers seem to be well
up with their work. Corn in most
places has been sided and though
small looks healthy. Cotton planting
is over and some up, rye, oats and
wheat medium, but with good good sea
sons from now on will make a
yield, but—the cotton craze is doing
its work. This section is inhabited
by a thrifty industrious and intelligent
population and famed for their hos¬
pitality. Whitesville, in ante-bellum
times, was a prosperous village, with
several stores, two churches, good
school and a hotel. Now the hand
of desolation appears conspicuous.
The C. & R. railroad took another
direction and made prosperity impos¬
sible, and though a fine neighborhood
of excellent citizens surrounds it
Whitesville is numbered “with the
things that were.”

picnicked on the Mulberry to-day.
VVe enjoyed our ride to the creek

Enjoy Life.
What a truly beautiful world we
live in! Nature gives us grandeui of
mountains, glens and oceans, and
thousands of means of enjoyment.
We can desire no better when in per¬
fect health; but how often do the
majority of the people feel like giving
it up disheartenc-d, discouraged and
worn out with disease, when there is
no occasion for this feeling, as every
sufferer can easily obtain satisfactory
proof, that Green’s August Flower,
will make them free from disease as
when born. Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint are the direct causes of
seventy-five per cent, of such mala¬
dies as Biliousness, Indigestion, Sick
Headache, Costiveness, Nervous
Prostration, Dizziness of the Head,
Palpitation of the Heart, and other
distressing symptoms. Three doses
of August Flower will prove its w r on
derful effect. Sample bottles, 10 cts. ]
