SETS EXAMPLE FOR
SOUTHERN FARMERS.
Brooks County Farmers in
Lead Selling Farm
Products.
There is one county in Georgia
that is showing others what can
be done in raising hogs. Brooks
county holds the distinction of
producing and selling more ba
con than any other county in
Georgia. Recently twenty-two
wagon loads of cured bacon were
delivered at Quitman in one day.
This amounted to 45,000 pounds.
Last year Brooks county raised
the meat necessary for home con
sumption, shipped out several
carloads of hogs, and, in addi
tion, sold 150,000 pounds of ba
con at an average price of 14
cents a pound. This year it is
estimated that Brooks county will
sell 250,000 pounds of bacon in
addition to what is needed for
home consumption, and the large
numbers of hogs shipped to the
markets. About 1,000 head of
fat cattle will also be marketed
from the county. The raising of
livestock has not been accom
plished at a sacrifice of other
crops, but has been produced in
addition to the regular crops,
with the result that those who
have taken up this line of work
are becoming the leading and the
most prosperous farmers in the
county. The cash receipts for
the livestock and bacon sold from
the county is near SIOO,OOO. —

Just Forget It.
If your tooth is ailing and caus
ing you most excruciating pain;
or the rheumatism in your joints
is causing you to frown continu
ally, the proper thing to do is to
forget it and imagine there is
nothing whatever the mattei;
that you do not need any kind of
medicine and will recover at
once. This is the kind of phil
osophy, at least, which the Dem
ocratic Administration has pro
scribed for the ailing South as a
good self cure. Ii; is the very
backbone of the democratic party
which has been suffering too,
and still its Guardians prescribe
only faith cure. England pro
tected and provided for the
Egyptians in taking care of their
cotton. Besides they have sent
two representatives over to this
country to rake up all the gold to
help do it with too. Most people
think they have come to help us,
but is is really to get the Ameri
can gold to help England; also
her Egyptian cotton growers.-

Just as Bad.
While we are poking fun at
some of the foreign names and
wondering how the poor natives
can pronounce such jaw-splitters
as Przemysl; just remember that
Georgia has some towns that
might prove hard to the German
or Austrian tongue. F’instance:
Ludowici, Alapaha, Eastanolle,
CHomokee, Connesauga, Lux
omini, Upatoie, Ypsilanti, Tal
iaferro, Towaliga, Chalybeate or
Wefanie. Monroe Advertiser.
