An exchange advi**** lhatthe follow¬ ing be pasted in the hat of every young man and woman who is inclined to apeak ill of any woman's character: Think how lout: “he has been building it, of the privations endured, Ihe wounds received, ami ict uo suspicions follow her actions. The purity of woman is the salvation of tlm race, the hope of fntnre greatness and the re (temption of man. U ipe out her puri '. v a,, d ,nnn sinks beneath the wave ol despair, with not a star to guide his life into the channel of safety, '1 hink, then, before you speak, and renit mber anv hog can root up the fairest flower that over grew. So the vilest petiovi can ruin the'puresl woman’s reputation. Prof. Glenn, formerly of Macon, and now State School Commissioner, seems to have gained the ill-will of many of the. country school teachers ol the Stale. 'I he teachers do not approve ot the action ot the Commissioner in chang¬ ing the school year from scholastic to calender month-.nor bis ruling that the contract of a teacher shall be, forfeited when the number of pupils in his or her school fails below twenty-five. It is contended that this rule is liable to work a hardship upon teachers, as it is often tlie case that they arc not to blame for decreased|atteiidanre. At :t meeting of school teachers held in Dawson. Terrell county, this week, a resolution endorsing the C nnmis sioner was voted down.—-Athens Run¬ ner. An exchange says a very important lesson for a young man to learn, it he hopes to lie successful, is to keep all business engagements. No matter how unimportant they may be, keep them promptly. If you agree to meet a man .at a certain hour.be at the place of meeting to tlie minute. If you promise to pay a debt at a given time, be sure that you do it right on time. If from any unforsecn circumstances you discover that yon cannot meet a linancial or othet engagement on time, inform the expectant party of the fact. Do not allow him to expect you and then fail to turn up, for in that in¬ stance you not only prove yourself anything but a business man, hut a liar as well. Keep all business engage¬ ments promptly, pay all linancial obli¬ gations when promised, and success will follow. Half or more of the busi¬ ness failures come from negligence tulhuv than lack of trade. The supreme court of Louisiana has decided that a child of tender years cannot be guilty contributory negli¬ gence so as to he in pijrt responsible for any accident or injury that it might suffer, A three-yoar-old child had been injured by a streetcar, and a ver¬ dict had been given against the rail¬ way company in tin* lower court. The company appealed and pressed the [loint, raised in the lower court, that thc|chikl was in the way of the car by its own negligence and therefore re¬ sponsible for its own injury. The su¬ premo court ruled that such a child could not he negligent and the railway company could not he excused for any lack of care or watchfulness on the part of its employes on that ground. Such employes are bound to use extra¬ ordinary care and watchfulness when¬ ever there are incapable persons in the vicinity of the railway, and if they do not tlie company must suffer. This decision is good sense ns well as good law. A violent storm passed through Sparta on Monday, unrooting houses ami destroying trees. lu the Southern Cultivator of June there appears an account of the popu¬ lation of some of the counties and towns in Georgia. Harlem is put down at 1,200 population. While we would be pleased to boast of so large a popu Intion, yet for the life of us we cannot count but a little more than six hundred inhabitants. We do not know where the Cultivator got its in formation, but he that as it may it is misleading. There is still auotherinis leading statement in the same paper iu the population , of , this ,. county, it is put down at 8.400. when the census of 1830 gives us a population of 11,281. We notice similar inaccuracies made of other towns and counties.—Farmers’ Light. t | le ^j[ ver Convention that will con oigans will put this countv down as .,v,,ri» s ihe gold ! T^fiiisT.

On most farms “laving by’’ time is near at naud. but we cannot bo bound by ironclad rules in thi3 any more than m other details of farm work. So much depends on “wind ami weather” and • the , present condition ... of . the , growing crops. For instance, on those lands which produce a luxuriant growth of weed with late development 1 of iruit, the conditions indicate that early lay iug by will tend to establish the proper equihbrium between growth and iruit. ■in When we cease plowing , we , check ,__, r jv,:, this rapid growth, which is unfavorable for the taking on of Iruit. Experience has demonstrated this fact and also that as a rule when we stop the p.ow the growth is onecked and the fruit begins to form, bucu cotton ihere.ore as is developing foliage at the expense of fruit, should bo laid by very eariy, and wnh cure to take out every particlo of grass. The plow is so set as merely to shave otf the surface, any root pruning now is almost latal. A 24 inch scraper with a very short scooter bolted on in front, if the land is in good condition, will do the work with one trip to the row. If, however, the laud is foul more heroic treatment is necessary and we will have to bear the consequent shedding and loss from the necessary disturbance of the roots. Where there are uo indications of this exuberant foliage growth, rhat is, where the development of fruit and foliage is well balanced and the cotton is in good growing condition, it may be advisable to continue the cultivation into August, in this condition of the tlie plant the growth and fruiting go on together and our object is to encourage both by cultivation, always very shal¬ low at this season. As a rule squares formed from the first to the last of August stand a iuir chance to develop boils. Corn. It will be too late after the first part of July to plant corn for forage cveu. If any Is planted during that period either for gram or forage it siiould be on rich bottom laud. At this late date peas aud amber cane are a far more certain crop for forage, as they can b) planted up to the first of August, and if the land is rich, will mature excel¬ lent forage. If preferred, however, corn may still be planted on stands the rion bottoms, aud if put iu at once a reasonable chance of maturing the grain. Put iu after the tenth or #*'• te. nth we can expect ouly forage. The main crop of up’.aud corn is practically laid by, and from all sao tious comes the cheering news that the farmers aro appreciating the necessity of sowing peas broadsast or iu the cen¬ ter furrow at the last plowing, This practice will not only furnish food for our rapidly increasing dairy stock, but will insure the all important HUMUS of which our worn iumls stand so much in need. I use tho term “worn” ad¬ visedly, for these same soils subjected to analysis show that they ” are It very only far from being “exhausted. is the top soil which has been deprived of its food produciug elements. Just un derneatli the first few inches lie vast deposits of subsoil, nitrogen, phosphoric neid aud potash, which heretofore the farmer, exoopt iu rare cases, has utterly failed to appropriate, unavailable, because But they were practically science aud experiment have demonstrated the truth, and now we know both the im¬ portance of supplying humus to the soil and of plowing deep to expose these subsoil deposits to atmospheric influences. As soon as we supply the necessary humus the chemical action begins, aud iu the course of decomposi¬ tion these otherwise inert matters are set free and made available for our growing crops. It has been demon gtrateil again and again that the most profitable form of supplying this hu¬ mus is not by plowiug under the reno¬ vating crop, beoause that is a prodigal waste of most valuable animal food. We throw away that which would make meat, milk and butter. The most economical plan is to cut and save these crops, turn under the stubble and aud by feeding the cured products to our live stock they thus become a source of double profit. We sell the products of ,‘?nr stock, and the manure. •olid --4. ->n•’ ~-r,nerly pres'-’-ved, lurnislies additional humus ot the most valuable quality. This subject is wor¬ thy of the most careful study. Those men who have grasped this important truth and are acting upon it are rapidly forging to the front and are today our most successful farmers. Practioally none of the piaut food has been ab¬ stracted from our subsoils. Vast de¬ posits lie there awaiting the processes which shall gradually release them aud furnish material for the crops of succeeding generations. As bearing directly on this interesting question, and in confirmation of the above state¬ ment, 1 copy the following from the Ohio experiment station; “The clay soil iu which wheat had been grown continually for six years past was analyzed with the result that the upper foot of soil showed nearly Of course the quontitv of these de take up for many years to come. The SWEET POTATOES may still be set out. and if a maturing variety like the St. Domingo is used, the plantings mav until ““ * AUf.Us Au.-nst The ine IRISH POTATO CROP will be ready for gathering this month. See that this is done early in the morn e lax VZJ?tJr tn ?Z m '^ d * ath “ u up the th potatoes before they are exposed to the direct rays of the sun. In pre paring for the tali crop, now becoming a very important one to the south, se lect tlie medium sized, smooth tuber3 for seed. Spread these in the shade, under a house if convenient, is an ex cedent place, until dry. After drying, bed these, as we do sweet potatoes for slios, except that no in a £C„‘ leave tor about two weeks. It the weather should be dry an occasional watering is an advantage. At the end o: two or tnree weeks tnose potatoes which have sprouted can be relied on to pro ttuce plants, they should not be cut but planted whole. Those which have not sprouted should be rejected, but still can be used for tne table. In preparing the land run the fur rows about 2 1-2 or S feet apart, broad and deep, by going two or even three times iu the same furrow, it the land rich uo teruhzer is necessary, it Jlof ns0 a coill ,nereial fertilizer in which potash and phosphoric acid with pre dominate, and mix thoroughly ; * 01 ' Very thoroughly decompo.,ed fct.iMe manure will also answer, but it SiJ , ^ f [ noc come in contact with the potato. Piaut the potatoes in the bot tom of the furrow and cover lightly. gradually lilling up l the furrow uuriug whicU 8h<m i d be such as to keep down all weeds and grass. This for field culture; the same for the gar dcu plot, except that after the potatoes are Panted and covered, the whole beu may be covered several inches deep m leaves, chaff or pine straw, FALL CHOPS. It is well to decide on our fall crops and prepare for them as far as possible. If the laud to be planted is now uuoc copied, nothing is more effectual thau peas, broadcast or cultivated, for de¬ stroying all foreign growth, aud its valuable fertilizing properties make this crop a most important adjunct to all grass, clover or grain crops. After taking off the hay turn under the stub¬ ble, harrow aud roll to bring to as tine tilth as possible. DESTROYING WEED SEEDS. Another important office which this late planting of peas effects is the da stru -Cion oi many troublesome and noxious fall weeds. Iu allowiug these wee.is to perfect seed we lay the foun¬ dation for trouble not only the follow¬ ing year, but lor years to come, for all wee i seeds do not germinare the year after they lull, ijoine are buried too deep and some too shallow, and year after year they come to the right con¬ ditions tor germination; they spring up, i lms causing the lurtuer additional trouole and work. The safest plan i3 to destroy them before they scatter their seeas for future weed crops.
