GEN. HARDY SMITH
DIES AT DEBI.IN
Was Commander of Eastern
Division. Georgia
U. C. V.
Dublin, Ga., Dec. 5. General
Hardy Smith, commander of the
Eastern brigade, United Confed
erate Veterans of Georgia, and
one of the oldest and best known
residents of Laurens county, died
at his horm in this city late last
night, after an illness lasting
several months, brought on by,a
complication of diseases.
General Smith has l*een promi
nent in Laurens county for a
great many years. He was clerk
of the Superior Court of Laurens
county for twenty-eight years
and was also Ordinary for four
years. He was a native of Lau
rens and 73 years of age at the
time of his death. He had been
prominent in the affairs of Camp
Smith, Confederate veterans, of
this city since its organization,
and was its commandant at the
time of his death, having held
the office for a long term of
years. Several years ago he was
appointed commander of the Eas
tern brigade, U. C. V., of Geor
gia and held that position since
with credit to himself and the
organization.
He is survived by his wife,
eight children and two brothers.
His funeral will be held at the
First Methodist Church of this
city, Friday morning at 10 o'clock,
the Rev. Dr. A. M. Williams and
the Rev. W. A. Taliaferro con
ducting the services. A special
escort of Confederate veterans
will accompany the body to its
last resting place in Northview
Cemetery in this city.
The passing of General Smith
removes one of the pioneer citi
zens of this county, who had
s *en the county and Dublin
emerge from a state of inaction
and stagnation into one of the
livest and most progressive coun
ties and cities of the state. He
was one of the first to volunteer
from in the war of the
sixties and served gallantly
through the entire war, losing
nil arm during his period of ser
vice. His death will be mourned
by many friends throughout this
section, who admired him for his
high character and splendid per
sonality.
NOW FOR “HOG CLIBS”
It is Thought They Would
Stimulate Hog Raising.
J. W. Boson, president of the i
Woman’s College, Meridian. |
Miss., says: "There is more
profit, for the expense, in raising
hogs than in raising cotton. Hogj
products were never so high
since the war and are going
higher all the time. Suppose we
have the boy "hog club" as well !
jis the l>oy corn club? The boysj
have created a new interest in
corn production. Maybe they
can stimulate hog raising.”
A packing plant would stimu
late hog raising in this section.
Indeed, all through Southern!
Georgia. The farmers say Ma-!
con is the location for it. Jas. j

Poor Girl.
"How long have you been
married?”
"It will be six months next
Thursday.”
"And do you still regard your
husband as the most wonderful
man whoever was born?"
Then the poor girl broke down,
says the San Francisco Star, and
sobbed piteously. When she could
trust herself to speak again she
said:
"No. Charles has disappointed
me terribly. I’m uf-fraid 1 have
w re-wrecked my li-life.
night when 1 asked him to get
up and see if there wasn’t a
burglar in our room he bumped
his nose against the edge of the
open door and he said three sim
ply awful swear words just as if
they came natural to him.”
A Fortunate Parent.
In rural Kentucky hopeless id
iots are not sent to an institu
tion, there being no institution
for them, says the Saturday
; Evening Post. They are formal
!ly awarded into the custody of
some one, usually a parent or a
guardian, and for the keep of
such an unfortunate the state
pays SIOO a year. This amount,
in certain sections, is regarded
as a handsome addition to the
family income.
Last summer Judge J. Camp
bell Flournoy, of Kentucky and
New York, was up in the moun
tains of his native state taking
title to coal lands for an Eastern
syndicate. In a canoe, with a
native to guide him, he was pro
ceeding along a creek that pene
trated into one of the wildest and
most desolate recessess of the
Cumberlands.
They came to a homestead that
was infinitely better looking than
any they had seen for days. The
house was of clapboards instead
of the customary logs, and it was
painted. The fences were stout
and newly whitewashed. The
stock in the barn lot had a well
nourished look.
"Who lives there?” inquired
the judge.
The guide told him.
"Judging by the looks of his
place,” said Flournoy, "he must
he a forehanded man.”
"He certainly is,” said the na
tive. "He’s got ’leven children
and all of ’em ijiots.”
BASIS OF ALL PROSPERITY
Wealth of Farmer Enters
Into Every Business.
The prosperity of all classes of
people in any country is depend
ent upon its farming interests.
The wealth of the farmer is at
the basis of all prosperity. It
enters into every business and
enriches it as it goes, by creating
a demand for the labor of work
ers in all occupations. Mining
and manufacturing, commerce
and transportation, all the wheels
of industry refuse to run when
agricultural conditions languish.
When the farmer laughs, the
world laughs with him; when he
weeps he does not weep alone.
The states of Mississippi, Ma
ryland, Georgia, Alabama, Ar
kansas, Louisiana, Texas, and
others have taken a long step
forward in laying the foundation
for a higher type of educated
farmers, by establishing agricul
tural high schools and thereby
placing a practical agricultural
education within easy reach of
i the masses.
Let each county establish an
agricultural school and thereby
develop a saner, broader, and
; more practical education for the
hoys and girls of the farm. Let
us establish agricultural high
schools and fill our farms with
well educated, broadminded men
men who will restore dignity
to the long down-trodden, but
honorable business of agriculture
and raise it to the highest rank
among the occupations of man.
Let us establish agricultural
high schools and give our boys
and girls an agricultural educa
tion an education that produces
wealth and thereby make the
south the wealthiest section of
the world.
