The Usual Scramble
For places for another year is
now on in many localities. If the
energy unod up by this annual
“scramble” was only turned in
proper channels it would indeed
bo the hnrnessiug of a mighty
power that would prove a blessing
to both landlords and tenants
throughout our country.
Not only does this annual mov
ing result in considerable loss of
time but it results in considerable
loss otherwise. But few if any
ever move everything. There is
usually a pig trough or two, a pair
of plow handles, u load of shuckr
or something which would be real
ly of some value to you if you re
mained ut the same pluce that, is
left. Now here is where some of
the loss comes in.
Then it is said “a rolling stone
gathers no moss.” No man mov
ing every year can possibly accu
mulate very much us long as he
does move, for property of any
description will be in his way.The
moving spirit is quite siiro to con
tract the desire therefore to accu
mulate property.
Changing the environment of
children too frequently is detri
mental to theis highest, interest.
It siudi great numbers of men
who have no fixed habitation be
come moral weaklings, being un
able to subject themselves to a
emitinuully changing of their as
sociates and of their environment
what may wo expect of children ?
Humming up the matter there
fore we must say we nro highly in
favor of a longer tenancy term
than at present attains. Sum
inons all of your energy and de
termination, hack your ears and
Jet 's begin to raise a howl that
shall he heard beyond the borders
of our state against this tuuiunl
breaking up that is doing so much
against the progress and well-be
ing of a great percent, of the real
wealth producers of our country.
The Prospect For a Hay Crop
Becomes more promising with
each shower of rain. There is
money in u good crop of hay. Your
mower and rake should he put in
thorough working condition ami
what you lack on the cotton crop
n geod tiny crop w ill help round
up. Plenty of good hay is indis
pensable and can be very easily
supplied on any of our South
Georgia farms. Good crab grass
hay is a valuable feed for mules
and horses during the winter
moiltns while they are standing
idle most of the time. Mom hay
and less grain would tie appreci
ated, in fact, by both our patient
friends and our farmers.
The 81-Prodscls
On our farms are not paid
• nough attention to by our farm
ers. In fact, but few give any
very strict attention to the matter
of saving the bi-products. The
droppings from the stock and cat
tle, although abundantly rich in
fertilizing properties, and the
many tons of fine hay that might
be saved and utilized in making
more of such fertilizer under w ise
management on every farm is well
nigh a total loss. Many a manu
facturing plant has been able to
run and make a considerable prof
it for its stockholders by just sim
ply saving the profTt derived from
the bi-products alone above the
running expenses. Saving the bi
products on our farms would ma
terially affect the savings and
profits of our farmers, too, in a
way that would bring the smile of
contentment to the face of many
a discouraged and disheartened
farmer who is a memlier of tin
well-known firm of Hard Times
& Co., operating an unpaying bus
iness in the Carelessness Building
on Thoughtlessness Street, in the
city of Lack-of-Enterpnse.
The Opening ol the High Schools
Suggests a very important ques
tion just now, and that is this :
What per cent, of the hoys and
girls w ho are the sons and daught
ers of farmers have made arrange
ments to attend a high school the
present term ? Os course the per
| cent, is small. Isn’t it possible
for just a few more from every
| section to attend ?_
Our common schools stand
nearest the farmers and happen to
be the most important for them
since there cannot be any higher
education without them but they
; lack a great deal of being all the
schools the farmers need for their
children. When the common
| school course has boon completed
there is another course of study
ahead for your children that is
j not lacking in any respect in im
portance. The more we educate
our children the more will farm
ing become attractive and profit
aide.
Home liuve an idea that if a
child gets a smattering of an edu
cation Unit's all lie needs till he
is put to work and rnnd • to help
pay for his “raising Now that’s
pretty poor logic, besides being a
downright shame. Whoever heard
of a Georgia boy paying for his
“raising” while he is being held
np and relieved of the best part
of his “raising” without being
shamefully treated? 'I hat. part
|of hia “raising” he never gets is
usually the best purt. and in order
for lum to have gotten this lie
I must he sent to school. Brother
farmer, mark this: Your sons
and daiigldi is should he given the
very same educational advantages
that, are given the sons and
daughters of the banker and
the merchant. Give your boys
and girls proper educutumal ad
vantages and they will be heard
from.
The Habltuil Borrower
Is a kind of a nuisance. Home
mou seem to delight in borrowing.
They an* the hardest of all men
usually to take a hint. Refuse
one of this type, and tell him
where such and such article may
lie found for sale at a reasonable
price, and you are wasting time.
Os course it is a pleasure for
one neighbor to befriend another
who proves himself worthy of a
favor. But we are speaking of
that class of borrowers who if
rightly classified would be put
with beggars. I'hey some how are
always just out of the article
needed at any certain time and
| run to the nearest neighbor to
borrow it, matters not whether it
is a few pins, a wheelbarrow, a
! buggy, a wagon, a piece of soap,
ior a “few pounds of meat,” and
continue to ride and beg till the
desired article is handed out.
Without in the least discourag
ing a genuine neighborly spirit of
helpfulness and accommodation
among pimple of the same com
munity any section burdened by
this element of beegar-borrowers
would do a real good deed if j>er
• chance instead of always gratify
ing them they were taught some
thing about the elementary prin
ciples ot genteel self-sacrificer
W hal Do You Staml For ?
Mr. Union Man, what are you
doing to make your community a
more desirable place in which for
i you to live w ith your family? Are
you exerting an influence in favor
of a better school? Are you trv
: ing to advance the moral and re
ligious interests of the neighbor
hood? Are you encouraging crime
and lawlessness or do you frown
[down upon these with an uncom
promising determination to rid
your neighborhood of the possi
bility of having the baser and
wicked elements bring shame and
ruin to your community ? These
and other such questions are of
vital interest to the well-being of
yourself your family and your
I community. Mark this: A Un
ion man should be somebody and
should stand for something that
will make his community and the
’ world better and it‘s a down-right
shame if he doesn’t.

CAME NEAR BEING SERIOUS.
While running a chicken a few
days ago the little son of Mr.
Henry Bennett who lives neur
town came near meeting Ins death i
in a very peculiar way. It seems
that the boy was being assisted in
the chuse after the chicken, and
his reaching the fowl first reached
down to pick it up, and just at
this time the little sister reached
for it, and in some way the chil
dren’s heads came in contact with
such force us to render the little
fellow unconscious, and for sever
al hours the family were very un
euny about results.
Dr. Hunt was hurriedly sum
moned, and in a short while after
his arrival the little sufferer was
resting quietly, and is now about
all right uguin.
