As a result of the large cotton crop grown in that section this year and the ' satisfactory prices obtained, South Georgia is now in normal condition again. This is another w r ay of saying that South Georgia is prospering and progressive. The development of that great section of Georgia is one of the most interesting chapters in the industrial history of the South. What is >eally going on in the growing cities and towns, and in the rapidly-developing agricul tural districts of that section is appreciated to the full extent only by those who go and see the country with their own eyes. A few days ago one of the publish ers of The Industrial Index had occasion to make a rather ex tended trip through South Geor gia, taking in the entire southern portion of the state, and he was impressed as never before with the evidences of progress and development in that section. South Georgia is full of new spick-and-span towns and cities, flush with the strength, eager ness and enthusiasm of youth, and it is both refreshing and inspiring to visit them. The cotton crop in the south ern portion of the state is almost uniformly good, the crop yield is the largest recorded, and the hay crop is decidedly the greatest ever grown. Traveling through that section one hears many comments on both the quantity and quality of the hay, showing that the production has been un usual.—lndustrial Index. L. W. BUSH, Dental Surgeon, Offices 2d Floor Bank of Soperton Building; Sopcrton, Ua. Twenty-five Bales To The Plow. Col. IT. Augustus Harris, a ; former Americus grocer, but for | several years now a prosperous ! and successful farmer, came up yesterday from his estate in Lee with a flattering report of crop conditions in his locality. In fact, Col. Harris has made more cotton on his fine farm this year than he can possibly gather and market, for lack of labor. He operates ten plows upon his farm, and, in addition to corn, hay and ot her crops he has made I a splendid crop of 250 hales of j cotton or 25. hales to the plow, al ! though he will not gather more than 80 per cent, of it. Already he has picked and sold 102 bales and hopes to pick out another hundred, perhaps, before Christ mas. The balance of the crop, he fears, will be left in the fields because of his inability to pick it. —Americus Times-Recorder. Dear Ancestors. Two close-fisted Missouri brothers sued a neighbor for $375 owing on a land deal, says the Saturday Evening Post. They engaged the best lawyer in their county seat. The lawyer won the case. The brothers called to see about his fee. One stayed outside and the other went in. “How much is it?” he asked. “Well,” said the lawyer, “I won’t be hard on you. I have known both you boys since you were children and I knew your pop. I guess S3OO will be about right.” The inquiting brother went out dazed. “Lordy, George,” he said to the one outside, “I’m durn glad he didn’t know grandpa, too.” Profit In Tomatoes. A dispatch from Valdosta, Ga., states that Miss Clyde Sullivan made this year a net profit of $132 on a plot of land measuring one-tenth of an acre. She plant ed the ground in tomatoes, can -1 ning the fruit and selling it. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR -THURSDAY, NOV.
