Re member that any aid extended the cause of education la an investment that you owe to yourself as a peo ple and to those who are to follow ua. The past belongs to God, the present is ours to improve, and the luture is the field of the untutored young to whom we owe every ea ergy, every thought and care, behooves na to look after the cafe ful {election of c|ty fathers, for an other year. We want good men with the interest of our little city well enstilled as a principal to man age its finances and executive de psrtmcnts with judioious economy. We have but to work jand the im provements we now boost of as an effort of a few years will far sur pass the expectations of eomo who in all things see nothing until it becomes a “stumbling block” in their narrow path of life. As nn ovidenco of the feeling in our midst, witness the rental of rent estate and the sale of personal property a few days ago at the ad ministrator's salo of the K. C. Martin estate. Note the moving in of new business men and not an un occupied house in the place, store or dwelling. See sueh men as Geo. Chapman identifying bit interests with ua and forming a nucleus around which will center the aame energy and management that has won for himself and boys the repu tation of being the best farmers- among ua Mr. Schwab is to take charge of bla blacksmith ahop, while Mr. Holt will-be found in the wood shop. This is an enterprise much needed at Bronwood and brings ua in connection with a peo ple much needed in any communi ty. Success to you, gentlemen, iu your new enterprise. :/ " Mr. G. P.

Editob:—I thought I might be pardoned for trsepassing upon your space sufficiently to briefly state a few of the items of nows btppening in oar psrt ot the county, which you are at liberty to publish if you think they are of sufficient importance. One little negro on the place of Dr. D. Bagley was made drunk by eomo jolly colored men to have little Cbristmae fun, the effect of said drunk being to send said little negro to Join the “ange! band.” Another jolly colored brother, chock full of Christmas, shat another, got married, and allot still another, all in the short apace of two days. How’s that for jolly ? The occasion, however, of most interest and importance was a game of base ball between twenty of the “Sand Hill Club” which was play ed on Thursday, the 27th of Decem ber, near the residences of James Roach and James Murry. D. A Small was captain of tha first ten and E. B. Wallace was captain ot the other, the winning afde being entitled to crown the “Queen Love and Beauty.’! The following are the scores: STUCK FARMING FOR SOUTHWEST GEORGIA. C«UJfmrgroV* uft £T. lUrfTOTf D. Murray....

Bkt. Editobs Ruobdkb:—At the ear nest solicitation of yonr Solicitor, the writer will attempt to write up the above subject. At the risk of first, its going to the waste basket, second, being called a fool by some few of your reader*. Every think ing man In Southwest Georgia will admit that there ought to be a obange In fkrmlng here, and every thinking man will admit that there ought to be more stock raised here. Now the queetion is, how aia we going to make the change? More stock with ua meana more feed for •lock and more pasture*, and more feed and paatnre* for stock means less acres in ootton. But how are we to turn onr old crony cotton, atoose at all? Permit the writer to make a few suggestions.
