MEAT SAME AS THE CASH Johnson County Man Buys What He Needs with Home Product. Talk about progressive farm ing but Johnson county is getting more and more in that line every year whether it has the much heralded packing and cold stor age plants or not. It has some of these wide-awake kind of citi zens who know how to make ev ery cut count. That is what it takes anyhow. It is fast forging the front. Just set up and take notice of it within the next five years. Though little she is loud and able. One farmer living out on a R. F. I). from Kite in the eastern section, John C. Powell by name, wanted a new buggy, harness and all. He didn’t have the cash and being adverse to going in debt he didn’t know just how he was going to get the outfit. A bright thought of the seasoned ham and side and shoulder, hun dreds of pounds of it, lying back in the smokehouse bank, dawned upon him. He loaded a one-horse wagon, came to Wrightsville, bought and paid for the entire outfit with the meat which brought him over a hundred dollars cash. He swap ped the meat to Mr. Cook, who is with the Wrightsville Mercan tile Co., for the outfit. Mr, Cook says that he will be glad to ex change anything he carries for home-made meat, thus encourag ing the people of the county to raise more meat by assisting them to market the product. Other merchants and farmers may easily profit by this example. —Wrightsville Headlight. Big Price Paid For Half Bred Cattle. The three half bred steers that attracted so much attention at the cattle show in Moultrie were sold to the Moultrie Packing Company. The price paid for them was eight cents a pound and the three brought I*2ol. They were from common Georgia cows and were by a thoroughbred Hereford bull. Two of them I were two and a half years old and the third was 18 months old. The packing house sold two of them locally, one to C. W. Isom and one to the Sanitary market. These mixed cows caused more comment at the cattle show than anything else exhibited, because they pointed out the possibility of the successful raising of cattle right in Colquitt and adjoining counties. It does not require any fortune to buy a pure bred bull, and by crossing him with the reg ular South Georgia cow, cattle can be raised for which there is a heavy demand and which j brings twice as much as the com mon scrub. Lyons Progress. Many Peaches are Sold. Fort Valley. July 29. Up to this date 1,089 cars of peaches have been shipped from Fort Valley and there will doubtless be a total of l,ltX) when the sea son closes Friday. A remarkable record for the Georgia Fruit exchange is that with all the rains of the past three weeks not one carload of peaches shipped by them has been delayed a day on the road. This cannot be said of shipments independent of the exchange. About 150 cars were lost by Fort Valley growers on account of the rains, the growers being unable to get the peaches picked before they were too ripe for market. Perhaps a total of 500 cars were lost by the state, ac cording to reports from the offices of the fruit exchange. The prices have held up satis factorily throughout the season and this week closes one of the best seasons in the history of the peach. “ | Nancy Hart Picture will be in Capitol Art Gallery. The Capital art gallery in At lanta will be supplemented with a painting of Nancy Hart in the “Capture of Five Tories,” if the Senate adopts a resolution passed by the House Tuesday. The presentation is to be made by the Piedmont Continental Chapter, Daughters of American j Revolution, through its regent, Mrs. Richard P. Brooks. The painting is to be forty-eight by sixty-eight inches in size. The resolution directs that the picture be hung upon the walls of the Capitol. The capture of five tories by Nancy Hart took place in the lower edge of the county of Hart from whom it was named.- Hart well Sun. Local Legislation. Elsewhere on this page is an editorial reprinted from the Ma cor Telegraph which describes the eftect? of one chronic disease from which u.c l egislature of Georgia is suffering; that disease is local legislation. Let local leg islation be handled locally and the disease will be eradicated, with several good results; one of them would be the saving of the state’s time, which means the state’s money, for annual ses sions could be cut in half, at least, or biennial sessions could be established. The legislators would begin to think in terms of the whole state, their legislative energies would be directed to ward the perfection of measures for the good of the whole state and would not be largely taken up with little local bills of inter est to from fifty persons to a few thousands, and of no interest whatever to ninety-nine-hun dreths of the population of Geor gia. The personnel of the Legisla ture would be expected to show improvement because the voters would think of legislative candi dates, not as handlers of petty local bills, but as representatives of the great state and handlers of legislation affecting nearly 3,000,000 persons. Respect for the Legislature as a body would increase with improvement in its personnel and the increased aver age importance of its labors, and perhaps the day would come when not petty politics, but the good of the state, would be, not part of the time, but always the guiding principle for all its mem bers. Savannah News. Butts R. F. D. Service Is Ordered Restored. Jackson, Ga., July 29.—Due, it is believed, to the stubborn kicks made by the patrons, an nouncement is made this week that the postoffice authorities will restore the old rural route ser vice in Butts county, as it existed prior to November I, 1915. The two routes that were lop ped off from the Jackson office will tie restored and the service at Jenkinsburg and Flovilla will : be placed on the former basis. | Since the shakeup of last fall the service in Butts county has never been satisfactory and there has been a good deal of kicking. Congressman J. W. Wise re cently interested himself in the, matter and the former reliable service will be put on, after sev eral months of experimenting. The two routes added will be fill ed by substitute carriers until an examination can be held. The approximate length of each route will be 85 miles. Citation. Georgia—Montgomery County.
