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 Callaway in Macon Telegraph. 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.
