GEORGIA BAPTIST CONVEN

opening of the 19th annual con

ports are that the attendance
is the largest ever.
The Convention will this time,
as has been their custom for
some years, make strong resol

is doing good work.
One of the questions of much
importance this time that will be

WRITES.
Elsewhere in this paper will be
found an article written by Mr.
J. S. Weathers. Mr. Weathers
as many of you know has been
recently appointed Farm Demon
strator for . Grady County and
writes a card giving some out
lines in regards to the work.
This is one of the most beneficial
things that Grady has ever had
provided the people will take in
terest and this they should do,
every -farmer that possibly can
should get on the list and plant
a few acres of cotton and corn
and let the government show
them how to raise it. Of course
this book farming is pretty poor
doings, but it is to be remember
ed that the government does not
do book farming, they make
these experiments and actually
know that they are the right
thing before they are ever offer
ed to the people, so when De
monstrator Weathers comes
around and tells you how to plow
it a certain way, you can just
know that it has been thourough-
ly tested and known to be the
best way. Stick to him and he’ll
stick to you and it will sure do
good.
Music by Electrlolty.
The “telhnrmonium,” Invented by Dr.
Thaddeue Cahill, furnlBhes what Is
called “electric music,” not merely ad
a transmitter and Imitator, but as di
rect producer of musical tones by
means of alternating electric currents.
By combining these currents in differ
ent ways the operator at the key
board produces different qualities of
tone. Dr. Cahill has recently made Im
provements which render the Instru
ment capable of producing all sorts of
enUrely new tones of lty own, while
its Imitation of trumpets, horns, viols
and violins may be so perfect as to de
ceive even the practiced ear'-of a mu
sical hearer. A single receiver, it Is
said, responds satisfactorily to any
sound from deepest bass to highest
treble, and to a single note of pure
tone to & full chord of composite
tones.

The Cry of the Guinea.
City folk visiting country neighbors
where guinea fowl are kept have oft
en wondered at the cry of those pre
tentious creatures. Probably no other
member, of the feathered tribes emits
a cry as exasperating to human listen
ers as that of the guinea fowl. The
average man rarely hears It without
secretly longing to throttle the throat
from which It came.
Yet It has Its uses. Guinea fowl ara
the policemen of the poultry yard.
They serve as guards to give other
fowl warning of the approach of dan
ger, whether It be In the form of
thieves, dogs, hawks or crows. The
cry of the guinea Is said to be terrify
ing to hawks and other predatory
birds, and It has prevented'many a
raid upon tempting flocks of poultry.
But the fact remains that It Is an af
front to the human ear.
