Farmers are about up with their
plowing, several “have finished
planting corn and are now “fixing
up” their cotton land, of course
guano enters largely into the “fix
ing up.” I believe that seven-
tenths of Schley farmers use guano,
paying from $28.00 to $45.00 per
ton. A nmn that does not use
guano is not a “tony” former by
any manner of means.

road was mentioned. When some
one nsked the question, how was it
that Americus failed to secure tho
terminus ot the road, one said
that there was too many lawyers
in nil the delegations. Another
said that none of the delegations
would make any concessions. An
other said that when Col. Edgar
Bntt, speaking for the Buena
Vista and Ellaville delegation, pro
posed to the Americus delegation
to make an assignment of the char
ter and turn over their subscrip
tion list, if Americus would enter
into a bond to complete the road
by this fait and tho Americus dele
gation refused that, Mint he then
asked them to turn over their sub
scription list to them and they
would give them tho bond, and
they rciused to do that. That that
was the funeral knell as to tho

Tho fourth Sabbath in this month
at two o’clock p. m. is the time ap
pointed to meet and reorganize our
Sabbath school at Walnut Grove
Academy. All are invited to come.
All who like to hear good preach
ing are invited to the church at
Preston on the first Sabbath in
each month to hear Rev. J. H.
Corley. He is a good Ano.
Our school, though small, is pro
gressing finely. Miss Ora Moore,
of Weston, is our teacher, and I
think a very good ono. While up.
on the subject of schools I wish to
say a few words to those who have
children growing up around them.
Have you decided to educate your
children to tho best of your ability
so that they will be able to conduct
themscivesnndthcirbuisiness prop
erly, nnd be capacitated to fill any
position in life to which they may
bo called? “Well,” sny9 one, “I
am not ahlo to send my children
to school. Besides, I only expect
them to be farmers like I am.”
What n sad mistnkc, to think that
it is unnecessary for a man to bo
educated to bo farmer. To be a
successful farmerit is just as much
a necessity to bcwcli informed as it
is to follow any otheM'Usmcss or
profession. If you are not able to
send all your children to school at
once send the oldest one, and keep
on so until you gire them all a
fair education, so that they may
nii rise above tho ploding day la
borer of the country, that they may
be a blessing to tlioir parents and
an honor to their country. S.
Cucumbers and Melons.
Column’*? Rural World.
It is not generally known that
squashes, melons and cucumbers
will mix and hybridize it planted
near to each other, and may, al
though planted nt a distance, by
the bees bringing pollen from ono
plant to another. Not only is the
seed made worthless, but the fruit
is spoiled lor use, as tho flavor is
mixed. This has been doubted,
but two years ago I grew melons
and cumbers together in adjoining
bcd9, to test the question. Some
of the melons were all right, and
some of the cucumbers, but there
were a great many melons that
were too much like cucumbers, and
too many cucumbers like melons.
One cucumber was distinctly half
and half, being partly netted nnd
divided into sections. Most of the
melons were uneatable. Since then
I have chosen to grow melons in
tho garden and cucumbers nt the
further end of the farm. Water
melons do not seem to m’x; they
bloom much later than muskmel-
ons, and I have them growing sido
oy side nil right.

Early Potatoes
“Experimenter,” in the last num
ber of tho Gardener’s Monthly,
states that for a few years past he
has succeeded in raising potatoes
in a shorter time by first inducing
them to sprout beforo planting.
“A fcwwccks before planting time,”
he says, “I select my potatoes,
and set them in a warm place to
sprout. By the time my ground
is ready the shoots are about tliroo
inches in length. The potatoes are
handled carefully, so as not to
break the growth, and cut up in suit
able pieces as in the ordinary way.
One strong shoot is left to each
piece. Thu sets must pc put into
Lite grouud carefully, of course, or
the shoots will be broken otf. As
growth commences at once, tho
green tops show in a few days.
There is easily a • saving of two
weeks time at the start.” For the
purpose of raising a very tarlv
supply in the gnrden, this method
is probably an excellent one.

The trouble with the United
States navy Is that it is a little too
small for a navy and a little too
large for a boat club.—PhSladefdbia
At a recent meeting of Shady
Grove Baptist Church, of Stetfirt
county, the following was adopted:
“ Whereas, it has become painfully
necessary to exclude from our mem
bership our once highly esteemed
brother and pastor, Rev. J. W. P.
Faultier, alias J. W. Fackler.on the
charge of drunkenness, profanity
and cruel treatment to his wife; and
whereas, he has gone to parts un
known to us, carrying a letter or
certificate of membership from this :
church, and also having in his pos
session ministerial credentials, by
means of which be may impose on
other communities as he has upon
us; nnd whereas, we have reason to
believe that he is passing tinder an
assumed name, that of J. W. Price,
therefore, resolved, that wo declare
the said J.W. P. Fackler unworthy
of and in no wise entitled to the
confidence nnd esteem of the pub
lic, or of churches as a minister of
the gospel; that a copy of tills pre
amble and resolution be sent to the
Cbristain Index for publication,
with request that all Baptist pa
pers especially, and others that ina}’
feel it to be a public duty and ser
vice, to copy onco if no 'moro.
Said J. W. i’. Fackler is about 40
years old,about 5 feet I or 8 inches
high, auburn hair 1 and usually
wears side whiskers, has a large
mouth, is of nervous, irritable tem
perament, and in walking carries
himself a little stooped or inolined
forward.”
“The Mountaineer” Excited.

and nob tbu whole $25,000 as the
newspapers and ho would like to
have it. Wo would give the name
of the lucky man, but don’t know
whether he careB about having his
name published. The excitement
around Morganton, N. C., and the
engerness with which the newspa
pers were soinncd to find the name
of the fortunate ticket holder of
No. 90,853, revealed the fact iliat
numbers of our citizens who would
have never been suspected of in

Mr. Jas. 1). Fretlerick, of Marshal-

rience to the Department of Agri
culture,says: “I selected two acres
of equal fertility on which to test
the relative vnluo of cotton seed
anil cotton seed meal- Upon the
first, applied a compost made up
of 200 pomids of Acid Phosphate,
100 pounds of Kainit and eight
bushels of cotton seed ^(240 pounds.)
The yield ot this acre was 473
pounds. Upon tho second applied
as above, except tho eight bushel
of cotton seed, which was substi-
uted lor 100 pounds of cotton seed
meal.—Yield of secnod, 668 pounds..
Almost every report shows the
value of compost over any fertiliz
er witli which it is compared.
Fertilizers with a large percentage
of Kainit and potash show better
results than others on old.womout
