He tw fixing to go out to start up a meeting, and by prayer was asking the Lord for the usual help called Pot on such occasions, and after sending up an order for a few special things, asked the Lord to send what he thought would put new life in the home. Down fell a big black snake rn the floor that had lost its hold and fell while chasing a rat up in the loft. To see the jump that preacher made out inix the yard, looked impossible. Since that time this preacher has prayed with open eyes, and very partictftar about the order off ’blessings he lays in to be fified. (From Banks County Journal) Since the Northeast Georgian bf Demorest, News and Enterprise i*t Cornelia, have "been consolidated as the Cornelia News, it has become a first-class weekly. “Hr. Seth Vintng the editor, is a young man with plenty of pep, and he no doubt wilV make a success of the paper. Mr. Roy Chambers says a lady liv ing on his rente tells him that her relatives in Texas inform her that a law has been passed in that state prohibiting the singing of that old familiar song, “It Ain’t Goin Rain No More.” She says that state is drying up, anti. the people believe It is because of the song, and that this state should take similar steps. She says if we don’t do something we will dry up with the crop. It is everybody’s privilege in this country to abuse public men, from a distance. Generally, the greater the man, the more the abuse. Woodrow Wilson and Hoke Smith, for instance. It was heaped upon Geo. Washing ton while he was living, and every man in public life since George’s day, who has done anything, and ma ny who have not, has cwme in for his share of abuse; and not one in a hundred who have furnished the abuse could have done hadf so well as the victim of this wrath, t When a ’nan gets a high office which carries appointive power, the mob camps on his heels for favors. All can not be accommodated, so his enemy list begins to grow. A disappointed of fice seeker, either for himself or friend, becomes a bitter foe.

JEFFERSON, Jackson County, Georgia. JACKSON COUNTY FARMERS WHO PLANT ALFALFA TO HAVE EXPERT ADVICE Plans for a campaign to establish alfalfa on North Georgia farms were completed in Athens Saturday, when twelve special agents of the State College of Agriculture were assigned to counties to assist farmers in the production of this important hay crop. Agents already located in coun ties have been instructed to aid in every w r ay possible in getting a large acreage sown this fall, and help make alfalfa one of the main money crops of section. Mr. Oscar Woody was selected to assist the farmers of Jackson and Banks counties- Mr. Woody was in the city Monday, and, commenting on the subject, said: “Alfalfa is the most valuable hay crop that can be grown in Georgia, and it is well adapted to the red soils of Jackson county. “It should not be JrecesSary for Georgia farmers to bay alfalfa hay that was grown in Kansas, Nebras ka, or other middle-western states. Georgia raft grow alfalfa hay that is ! almost m quite equal! to that grow n in any tether section 'of the .counibry. The yield is also quite as good in this section as anywhere else ia ‘the country. “There should be no competition between alfalfa and the other com mon hay crops grown in this section as a source of feed stuffs, *s the production per acre from alfalfa is usually twice the amount of that pro duced by any other hay crop. And in addition to this, the quality iff the alfalfa hay that can be produced in this section is second to that of no other hay grown here. On soil that is suited to its growth, and that is in a productive condition, alf*SsFa will produce a growth of as much as twelve feet in a single season. Where such a growth as this can be 'obtain ed, and the stand is good, a yield of five tons to the ‘acre will be obtained. “It is now and proper time to se hrxh the sites and prepare the land for alfalfa plan ing. With ;£bi rains coming on, it should be the business of every farmer who expects to plant alfalfa this fall, to get his -soil Teady and his seeds sown as soon as possi ble, so that the young plants can get *;g*<od start bdlore winter comes on. Although spring plantings some time prove successful in this section, it is advisable to plant alfalfa in ‘the fall, as much better results will be ob tained.” Mr. Woody will be located in Jef ferson during the week 'beginning July 6. He will be in his office on Saturday. Drop by afid see him, cr write him at any time. He is whol ly xt your service.

WANTS FIVE DAY LAW REPEALED Atlanta.—“ Rob marriage of its ro mance, surround it with the spotlight of publicity and commercialism and take away the sacred and tender sen timental secrecy of it, and marriage loses final which makes for the pre servation of the fabric of society,” says Hon. Walter Steed, one of the best known of the returned members of the Legislature. “1 am going to ask the Legislature this smmmeT to repeal that very com mercial and very cold ffive day’ law which advertises to the world what would he the Tomance of the young couple if it were not for this law. I do not believe the law has served one bit to retard any of the marriages that ought nert. to be performed. I do bel&ve, and Iknow from reliable in formation, that it has driven couples over the border-lines into other sta tes, rather than submit to the pro vision of five days’ advertisement of their intention to get married'. “One consideration which has been presented to me is that this as I think unnecessary and unavailing law has taken the fees away from the border-county ordinaries; has driven the record of -marriages out of the state, and has served to set up more of a disposition to get outside the pale of a law within out state. “I want to sec it done away with, and I am going to put in a bill to repeal it.” TALIAFERRO—BOGGS Mr. D.

Such are the reports from practically all Southwest Georgia counties.—Alba ny Herald. 44,000 THUNDERSTORMS EVERY DAY OVER WORLD Every day there are 44,000 thun derstorms in the wurkl„says C. E. P.
