FOUR SMALL BOYS RIFLE JESUP STORE OF CASH. Jesup, Ga., June lo. —Four small hoys from the age of 12 to about 10 years, robbed the safe ot the Jesup Mercantile company here of $8,2000 last night. Three of the boys were negroes, and one white. Two of the negroes hid in the store under one of the count ers when >t was closed last night. When they t, that their way was clear they’ went to the door and unbarring it let the oth er boys in. The safe had been left open, and it was no trouble to get the contents. Two of the negroes went to a station on the A. C. L. railroad, Leak, about five miles from here, and boarded the A. C. L. local freight and passenger train, going to Folkston, Ga. When they went to pay the conductor their fare they pulled a roll of bills from their pockets. This made the conductor suspicious, and he arrested them and wired hack to Jesup. The negroes confessed and told who were implicated with them. They are all f° ur lodged in jail here now. The white boy’s name is Elrna M aiker. They will have a preliminary hearing tomorrow. They stole about S2OO in cash and about SB,OOO of notes. Glenwood, 1. i 1 Kpoeial Correspondence. Mr. J. A. Lowery and B. R. Benton made a business trip to i Mt. Vernon Tuesday. The sing at Mr. W. T.

We need to have more farm hovs grow up into farm men. But ' we must give them an interest m farm life. All boys look to tlie future. They expect some day * to have a family of their own and they wisely think they cannot he too soon preparing for it. A re • cent writer says that in one par i ticular point the average farmer is unfair to his boy. This farmer sets himself up as a standard. If he did not want to do this and to do that, t<» go here and to go there why should his boy? The farmer remembers when things were harder all around,but they were harder for his father, too. Why do we have generation | ; following in the footsteps of their predecessors, unless these foot steps lead to higher things and | brighter things? The farmers of today fifty years old have,speak ing generally, an easier time phy sically than their paternal fore fathers had. Your boy has a right to look to a like advance in his condition. And you ought not to he satis- I tied with less. | The conditions of life on the farm and in the city have vastly changed from what they were when you were a hoy, old man, and you must recognize the change or else things will go t<> I smash. Your hoy has to compete with other boys whose fathers have I tried to give them all of the ad | vantages they can in the race of life. Your neighbors’ sons are the men with whom your sou has to compete. They will come to their farm life better prepared in j eyery way than their fathers were. Now see that your son competes with them on equal terms. Get him the best education that you can afford to give him. Let him learn of the best farming meth ods. Supply him with the best : tools and instill in him the am bition to do better than you do, and better than you have ever been able to do. He knows more a I tout the soil—about the consti tuent elements of the soil. He knows more about the markets, j He has more tools than you had or than you knew when you were his age. We hope it, is true that, the phy sical hardships of life on the farm are less now than they were when you were a boy. For if they are not, more boys every year will go to town. Life |in town is more attractive now than town life was fifty yehrs ago and if the furm life hasstood still I there is not much hope for the farm future. It has not stood still, and it j ought not to stand still on your j farm. Give the boy his share in the good things of life that come I through the inventors, the dis coverers, men who have trans formed industry. Have him lead a hopeful helpful and vigorous, life. Let him have the pleasures of life along with its labors. Do not tell him to postpone happi ness until he is your age, for if he doeß he will not know how to be happy. Make him happy today and tomorrow and next week and next year and then the happiness of five, ten and twenty years hence will come to him through his own efforts. Teach him the habits of life that make him a strong, health ful man. Teach him the habits •of mind that make him a strong, good man. Discontent is not a had quality. On the contrary, it is the motive that leads to the betterment of the conditions of daily life every where. If you boy is discontent ed with the farming he ought to be allowed to change; but per haps it is only hit discontent with the farm he is living on. Perhaps this discontent may be removed by taking him more into your confidence, making him a partner with you, giving him special fields on whied he can exert his own energy and develop enter prises of his own If you want to keep the boy on the farm let him feel that after the year’s work is over he has something to show for it, not | merely in knowledge and experi ence and in improved crops, hut in profit and in a little money in bank or in a little field of his own.
