havu been of iocenditrjr origin, the
crime being inspired by a desire to

Wheat is Berrien.
The Tifton Gazette says that Bor-
rien county proposes to "walk off”
with tlur prize to be given at the
wheat growers* convention in Macon
on the 14th inst for the best yield
per acre v
That is the right kind of talk. We
hope, at least, that the good old
county of Berrien will make the ef
fort. It will be exceedingly intercst-
bceanso we have heard it said
that wheat cannot lx* successfully
grown that far south—that when the
red clay soil of Middle Georgia gives
way to the gray soil of the more

This opiniuu seems to bo prevalent.

ing sixty-three acres, one and a half
miles southeast of Tifton, and will
establish thereon a trnok and seed

H« SoM II In Advance.
Mr. A. Moore, a merchant end
farmer of Willacoochee, Ims aold his
entire output of syrup this year for
28 cents per gallon. This, in vimv
of the fact that Georgia syrup is now
going begging on the market for
eighteen cents, is quite an ochiere-
ment, and thereby hangs a tale.
Lust spring, a relative of Mr.
Moore’s was boarding in Atlanta^nd
Mr. Moore shipped him a barrel of
syrup, wbiob he sold to his landladv.
A gentleman from one of the north
Georgia counties was in Atlanta one
day, and while eating dinner at this
boarding honse, remarked on the
quality and flavor of tbe ayrnp.
In Jnly, Mr. Mooye was in Atlanta
attending tbe Veteran’* reunion and
met tbi* same gentleman, who, after
they fonnd each other out, engaged
tbe entire output of Mr. Moore’s
cane crop at twenty-eigbt oenta per
gtllon, f. o. b. car* at Willaooochee.
Mir. Moore considers be made a
lucky trade, bnt the luck to not all

gets a syrup tljat has few superiors.
