In the report just made by the
State Bureau ot Immigration ol
Maryland there is a statement to
the Effect that on one farm in the
St te that cost $1150 was raised
this year a $10,000 crop ot Irish
potatoes averaging [200 bushels
to the [acre. The same report
states that during the past two
years new settlers have invested
$2,000,000 in farm lands, |With
such crops as that reported and
with the nearness to great con
suming {[markets ol practically
all lands in |Maryland, it is
not surprising that the immigra*
tion bureau is having |such sucj
cess in attracting [desirable set*-
tiers, and it is not diliibult to be
lieve that persistence in intelli
gent exploitation of Maryland’s
agricultural opportunities |will
largely increase (the importance
0! its farming interests within
the next few years.—Manufac
turers’ Record, Dec. 22, 1909.
Will the people ol Carroll
County, Ga., not learn to idiver
sify their crops and raise their
lood products at home? One
man here, who tsjjnot a farmer
but likes |to experiment {along
this line, raised this last year a
good crop of Appier Oats in the
spring and on the same land in
the fall a crop of Lookout Mt.
Potatoes ot 60 bushels on three
quarters of an acre in Carrollton
This was a small crop when you
consider the potato raisers on
Lost Mountain have made as
high as 400 bushels per acre, but
80 bushels to the acre, {consider
ing the drought, is not bad.
It will beat sending our money
off to Maine and Michigan tor
potatoes to eat. Two crops 01
this necessary vegtable can be
easily raised here in Carrollton
and all over Carroll County
every year. Ol course you will
want Northern seed tor the early
crop and the second crop should
be either some ot those raised
in the spring |or preferably the
Lookout Mountain potato which
is strictly a tall variety.

lady and a favorite among her

Stephens-Webb
Last Saturday afternoon at
6 o’clock Miss Nannie Stephens
and Mr. James L. Webb were
happily joined in the holy bonds
of matrimony. Thj marriage
preparations were quietly ai •
ranged and took place at the
home of Mr. Webb’s boyhood
lriend Judge W. J, Millican,
who performed the ceremony.
The bride is the daughter of
Mr and Mrs. J. H. Stephens of
near town, and is a lady of many
charming accomplishments. The
grojm, Mr Webb, is one of our
most prominent young business
men, who is at present connected
with the Roop Hardware Co.,
but was formerly associated with
his father in the sheriff’s office.
The Free Press joins their many
iriends in congratulations and
wishing them a long and happy
life.
8am* Tyrolean Epitaph*.
A German traveler discovered
some quaint epitaphs in 11 Tyrolean
cemetery.
On a tombstone in a valley ot
Tux was this inscription: “In pious
remembrance of the honest Widow
Anna Kriedi, forty years long.”
A miller is thus remembered: “In
Christian memory of H., who de
parted this life without human as
sistance.”
A farmer whose initials only ore
given and who appears to huve been
the author of his own epitaph has
this memorial: “Here rests in God
F. K. He lived twenty-six years as
man and thirty-seven years as hus
band.”
On the tomb of a man who fell
from a roof and was killed are
these words: “Here fell Jacob Ho-
sennkopf from the roof into eterni
ty-”
This wail of a desolate husband
caps the climax: “Tears cannot
bring thee hack to life. Therefore
I weep.”
Karma on the Job.
Tut in everyday English, Karma
is the law that whatever you have
coming to you is bound to catch up
with you sooner or later and you
can’t sidestep it. It may be good
or it may be had, or it may be a lit
tle of both, hut it will find you, no
matter how many times you have
moved away without leaving your
new address. And, whatever it is, ii
will he exactly what your own ac
tions have made you deserve—not
an ounce more or an ounce less or
a fraction thereof. Some people
call this law Nemesis. Some call it
by other names. Some don’t call it
at all, but they don’t need to. It
comes without calling. Some peo
ple say they don’t believe in it, and
some scoff at it. But the law goes
right on, minding its own business
and saying very little.—Nautilus.
We take the risk when you
buy the “ Lynchburg”.
