developrment, instead of follow
ing behind the counties of less
wealth and population. Col. Hunt
inns bedn to Macon twice to speak
of eradication of . the. fever-disse
minating cattle tick' There is
lack of information regarding this
peculiar tick.
Mr. Robert Crowder; of Bullock-
vilic, Ga, writing to Col. Hunt re
garding this matter, received the
following reply;
“My Dear Sir: I have had fifty
years’ experience in business, dairy
ing, farming, manufacturing and
banking, etc. Of all money eycr
spent by a community, I consider:
che necessary outlay" of county
funds for tick eradication the most
ocoiumical and profitable I have
over known.
“Wo tried'voluntury tick erad
ication but that left the progress
ive cattle man at the mercy of re
actionary neighbors, whose cattle
could and did rc-infest tick-free
cattle.
“Every scientific advance is op
posed, no matter how great ti e
prospcctive/bcncIUs. As cvidcilce
at the present lime, after more
than -a hundred years of human
life-saving from smallpox by vnW-
eolavaccinal ion, thousands of
people still oppose the use of this
bencficient preventive.
"So it was in our county in
tick eradication both voluntary,
which we started before Georgia
enacted any legislation, aud - sul -
sequently under our State law.
“Not a man even from among
those who protested, against tlic-
work could now ho found in oin
county who would Say a word dc-
ogatory to tick eradication at
public expense. The results sc
much more than justified the ex
pense,
“Indeed from my tables of ex
pense and results in the betterment
of live" slock, I -found - that the
county saved more money during
all the expense of tick eradica
tion-than it spent in the active
prosecution of the work.
Now that we are free of licks;
expense has stopped and the bene
fits abide ‘with us,

- MAXWELL--B ARFIELD.
A quiet home wedding of tho
past week was that of Mr. A. - W.
Barfield to Miss Thelma Maxwell
which Oceured at six o’clock last
Saturday evening at the home of
the bride.
Miss Maxwell is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Maxwell and
ia a young lady of much charm and
grace who has many friends hero
of the profession at once, being
considered unfit by the publisher
who employs, or the news source
with which he must come in con
tact to be efficient. There are, as
a rule,- no men in the country
higher in their profession than
those who serve the country as
correspondents in Washington, hon
orablo men of the profession who
allow no one thing to occur that
will blemish the Fourth Estate
which they represent.
Henry Ward Beecher is quoted
as saying:
^' '"'WM
In the United States every
worthy citizen reads a newspaper,
and owns the paper which lie reads.
A newspaper is a window througl
which men look out upon all that
is going on in the world. Without
a newspaper a man is shut up in a
small room, and knows little or no
thing of what is happening outside
of himself. ■ In our days news
papers keep pace with history' and
record it t t A good newspapei
will keep a man in.sympathy with
the worltljS current history. It is
an cverunfolding encyclopedia; an
unbound book/ forever issueing and
never finishing.
* William Makepeace Thackory
is speaking of the newspaper, said
There she.is; she never sleeps,
She has her ambassadors in every
qunrter-of the world-dier couriers
upon every road. Her* officers
march along "with armies, and her
envoys walk into statesmen’s cat
inets. They are ubiquitous.

Should you desire to buy Velvet beans 1 have several
varieties of these. You know velvet beans are great land
builders. BUY.NOW don’t delay buying any of your
planting seed, there is an unusai demand for “Modern Crop” seed. The

have trouble and delay in securing his requirements at the last minute.
