From THE THIRD.
Little Minnie Ruth, the bright
little baby of Mr. and Mrs*. W. G
Hardison, was buried at the fam¬
ily grave yard, Sandy Point.
They’ve said ‘good by’ often
To mortals of this strand.
But none has given the pain
Like cruel Death has planned.
It’s sadder than was dreamed
To murmur through a sigh,
And say; “Dear Minnie Ruth,
•Good bye, Good bye.”
Again it is fair. The sun rises
clear, over the trees in gorgeous
splendor, bathing the hills and
■country around in a flood of warm
yellow sunshine which gives in¬
spiration to him that weilds the
plow and hoe, and where once in
his breast melancholy, disconso-
lation and doubt reigned the vac¬
uum now is filled with content¬
ment, for he kno ws its God’s hand
that worketh out all things for the
-best, and blithely he joes whist¬
ling at his plow.
The experience of the famous
potters, Bernard Palissy and Jo¬
nah Wedgewood, has come all the
way down the aisles of time and
profiting by it, Marshall & Minter
-of this community, have put into
operation a large pottery at the
Van old mill seat. They will run
it ou an improved plan. As their
wares are moulded they are placed
in large ware rooms which are
heated by steam and then dried,
preparatory for grazing and burn-
Their facilities are such that
they will manufacture more ware
than all the other shops combined
tmi the quality of their goods will
be better and more merchantable
than the old style.

extent that they will all get out
of the old rut3 of farming and
farm scientifically. Let us not
listen to the promptings of
ence and the oldsaying that book
farming is no good. If we had
more educators on the line of ag
riculture, farming would be a cal¬
ling interesting, enj.-yable and
very profitabie- The Institute
will serve as an educator and if
we awaken ourselves to its teach¬
ing future will smile upon us
thus:
In misty future I can see
As I’ve never seen before
The changes in rural life,
Changes to relieve the poor,
I descry no real want
In the realms of this vision.
It‘s a meager task of living
<Oa the laud’9 good provision.
The farmer he plows deep
In the waniug of the year
Breaking the “hard pan” soil
And harrowing till spring’s uear.
Of tiie old farm lands
Two thirds are prepared thus.
Planted and with science tilled,
They yield more than at first.
The remainder of the farm
Is into a pasture changed,
Sodded with the Burmuda grass
TvVhere best of cattle range.
Forage crops are grown
Live stock’s fat to maintain
During the winter’s cold blast;
During the snow and rain.
Money is made in corn,
fu cotton, hay aud peas.
Money is made in oattie.
And can sell to whom you please.

Dkak Editor:
I have been thinking of the la¬
bor situation of the good old state
of Georgia, which is too well
known with every business man
of our state. The critical condi¬
tion of affairs filled with too ma-
ny unpleasant every day occuran-
ces considering the employee not
being at lus post of duty for
which he has iraudulently led the
employer to believe he is a laborer
of veracity and thought by get¬
ting many supplies and necessiti¬
es of life in assurance for which
lie promises his laborer for a cer¬
tified time with no reference what
ever to his promise, causing the
employer to be damaged ten times
thribie years more than tlirible
times the entire cost of the am¬
ount involved iu the unreliable
contracts, aereements, or trades
commonly called by the average
farmer and the employee of our
good state we are Jiving in. Then
at au advanced age we hear from
ail side, which we believe to be
true, such being the case. I want
to appeal to our honorable repre¬
sentative, of whom we have hon-
ored with our boats in time of
need, and to lend to us in return
at least a helping hand to amend
the Georgia law or labor law* in-
troduced by Mr. George of Madi-
son, Ga., which protects if amen-
not only the farmers’ interests
but a)) business interests through
out our banner state. Banper
, tate not being . name great en-
„„ ch for old Georgia
she only had a law making it

or employee failing to carry out

(From the Sentinel, Qebo, Moni.)
In the first opening of Oklahoma
to settlers in 1889, the editor of this
paper was among the many saekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fino day in April. During his
traveling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim, he encount¬
ered much bad water, which, togeth¬
er with the severe heat, gave him a
yery severe diarrhoea which itseeroed
almost impossible to check, and al¬
ong in June the case bocame so bad
he expected to die. One day one of
his neighbors brought him one small
bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Chol¬
era and Diarrooea Remedy as a last
hope. A nig dose was given him
while he was rolling about on the
ground in great agony, and in a few
minutes the dose was repeated. The
myMtgffect of the medicine was soon
out nntfsotinh"

tie worked a complete cure, and he
cannot help but feel grateful. The

occur between the ignorant and
educated because of superior ad¬
vantages of the one over the oth-
er. Inferiority resents superi¬
ority. The common pride of man
is an adherent principle, be he ig¬
norant or educated. When he is
too old to redeem his disaster then
tne painful truth of his disadvan-
tage loom up before him as a spec¬
tre that will not down like Ban-
chos ghost. Listen to the words of
that wise man if you would suc-
cess,
Col. E. W. Ross of Marshall-
ville read an able paper on the
grasses which cannot fail to be of
untold benefit to the farmers. Mr-
Ross showed that he bad been a
close student of nature.
Dinner came on due time. It
was a real pleasure to stand
arou “ d that tableau
and contentment that bedecked
a,J t,ie faces of that lia PP.Y crowd
of people ,hat had raet for a eood
purpose—purpose to learn of those
who came. Then there was a
wealth of good things to eat p re-
pared by the fanners wires as they
only knew how to prepare, And
such a dinner—-one wovld think
