Do Not Fall Out.
Birds in their little nest agree, but it
is suggested that the consequence
would be fatal if they fell out. —Au-
gusta Herald.
The same evil consequences follow
in families. Where there is sharp,
fault-finding, unkind speech and sensi
tiveness there is a disagreement that
breaks up the peace aud happiuess of
the household. It requires love to
forbear and be patient with mistakes
and faults of others. Thus possessed
aud exercised the home is a paradise of
peace and joy. This spirit of disa
greement among citizeus of a town is
equally fatal aud disastrous to the wel
fare and prosperity of the town. Where
there is bad feeling, enmity aud fac
tioual disagreements, 1 ike the birds in
the nest, there is a “falling out.”
There should be a friendly feeling
among all of our citizens, and thus
working in harmony the grandest re
suits cun be achieved for the good of
the town and the people. Any policy
of individuals or factious that seeks to
gratify selfish purposes at the expense
of the many, is bad for all concerned.
Let there be unity and concord among
every class, for life is very short to do
any good in, and when we are dead,
we are are dead for a very long time.

Farmers, Beware.
If there is one class of citizens com -
posing the citizenship of this couutry
whom we earnestly desire to see pros
porous and prospering ah ive others,
that class is the farmers. Hetce we
would cast upon them ro aspersions
nor knowingly put a stone of stumb
ling iu their way. Ou the contrary
we can but be unusually solicitous for
the success aud prosperity of our far
mer class. Because upon their pros
perity hinges the prosperity of the
multiplied enterprises of our country
t’ut the financial throat of the farmers
of this country and bring ruin upon
'hem, aud you kill the goose that lays
ihe golden egg of prosperity.
The indisputable truth of this prop
ositiou coupled with other facts gath
eted from numerons sources should
beget iu the mind of every thinking
citizen serious apprehension as to the
plans indicated by the present move
ments of our farming population.
The seasou for preparation to plant
ing is at hand, the planting season is
rapidly approaching, and the most se
rious question for southern plauters to
consider is whether the cotton crop of
1896 shall be extreme or whether it
shall be limited?
The wise solution of this questiou
can be, and is to be made by the south
ern planters. They can make the cot
ton crop of this year extreme or they
can make it limited. They can make
the growing of cotton profitable to
themselves or they can make it hurtful.
Which will they do? Will they learn
a valuable lesson from the experience
of last year on this line? Or will they
strike in the very face of that valuable
lesson and press on to their financial
hurt? Will they increase the area
planted in cotton this year over that
of last year, or will they circumscribe
it to a smaller area than that of last
year?
An excessive cotton crop will as cer
tainly make the production of cotton
unprofitable to the producer as cause
will produce effect. Besides, large ex
cess of cotton not only means bank
ruptcy and financial hurt to cotton pro
dfccers aawßelaswe-bnHst-mswrr* a serious*
and hurtful deficiency in those necssi
ties without which no agricultural peo
pie ever prospered or ever will pros
per.
It matters not how frenzied, how
crazy or how extreme the masses may
become relative to any and all political
questions and grave questions of gov
ernment, nor what the rautiugs of
political leaders may he, the truth still
Btauds, that whenever, aud as long as,
the farmers expend their money, labor
aud energies upon a crop that is un
profitable, to the neglect of those pro
ducts that are the very basic foundation
of success, their harvest will be failure
and discontent.
The only way open to the southern
farmer to freedom from debt and to
pleuty is the oue running parallel with
an ample production of provisions for
everything ou his farm that lives aud
and eats.
Cau our farmers travel this way
when cultivating un excessive area to
cotton? We leave them to answer.
Then will it not be wise, will it not
be prudent, will it not he in accord
with their belt interest to circumscribe
the cotton crop within those bounds
whereby it cau be made profLable to
them?
A cotton crop of seven million bales
of 500 pounds each at 10 cents per
pound will net to the cotton growers
of the south oue huudred millions
dollars more than a crop of ten million
bales at 5 cents per pound, to say
nothing of the difference in the ex
peuse of growing aud marketing the
two crops, nor anything of the vast
difference that would result iu food
products grown in connection with the
smaller cotton crop.
A ten million bale crop for 1896
means 5 cents for cotton, less corn and
meat in the south; a seven million bale
crop means 10 cents for cotton, more
corn and meat in the south, more debts
paid, less mortgages on lands and a
more hopeful aud more promising fu
ture.
Farmers of the south, which end of
the stick will you take? The choice
is with you. I beseech you, consider
this question wise and well, remember
ing that on the wisdom of your agri
cultural policy hiuges your future
prosperity and happiness.—J. T. Me

The Battle IsKuilect—lTie"Warfare Is
Over. I
After a loug aud tediojus warfare iu
the life and death struggle of iho be
loved old mother Jacksop, late consort
of Mr. E W. Jackson, ijhe contest was
ended at four o’clock; on Monday
evening, Feb. 25, 1896, when this good
old mother peacefully crossed over the
river, to rest under the shade of the
trees. In writing tribute to
her memory it will nd| be material to
her interest to euter upon au extended
detail of her long pilgrimage across the
desert plains, over whief Bhe traveled,
for more than four scoije years. Her
long life’s battle has tje«u bought and
a glorious victory has (been won. It
has been evident for weeks paßt
that she was nearing the end of her
journey. It was au Aveut that her
most hopeful friends fully realized was
Coming,-and was near at hand. Her
isbysieal forces baoaoiti’.-ft really thrown
out of lino, and were bo terribly wreck
ed that she lingered iu a perishing con
dition, unable to take anything to sus
tain her physical system. Often would
she desire to have something to eat,
but when it was prepared and offered,
she was constrained to reject it. liut
thanks be to God, she has gone
through the gates that lead up to our
Father’s mau)-mausion house that is
so richly provided with the bread of
life eternal, where those who entire
that celestial city never hunger any
more. Mothei .Jackson's maiden name
was Lucinda Johnson. She was born
iu Clark county, state of Georgia
While iu the bloom of her girlhood she
united with the Methodist church, in
which she was a devoted and worthy
member. She was married on the
30ih of January, 1830, to Mr. E. W.
Jackson. Her plighted vow made at
the marriage altar was faithfully kept
until dissolved at the gate of death-
The wasting disease that terminated
her mortal career baffled the best skill
of her physicians. The time had come
for her to lay down the cross and re
tire from life’s rugged pathway. No
more will the dim midnight lamp
throw its flickering light across that
now lonely room. The form of the
dear old mother and grand ma has
been bourne out never to return again.
O how sad and lonely now. “But
your sorrow shall be turned into joy.”
It will be but a little while until you
will go to meot your beloved compan
ion, you deeply bereaved husband.
Your dear mother, daughters, is now
free from all of her pain and suffer
ing. No more will she need you to
minister to her bodily suffering.
They are all passed, no more to re
turn. When the winter’s chilly blast
is gone by aud the spring time has
come, go plant sweet flowers to bloom
over her grave, and tears of rejoicing
will ke- p them ever blooming.

them, but iu almost every towu tin
people would huut up a couple of vio
lius aud insist on hearing them play.
4V heu the electiou was over aud
Boh was occupying the highest office iu
the gift of Tennesseeans, a convict in
the penitentiary one day sent him a
fiddle. It was a home made instru
incut, the convict being its auth ir and
finisher. He had made it while sorv
ing out his seuteuce in the “peu,” and
designed touching a tender chord in the
governor’s hmrt by the presentation.
The story is best toll in Gov. Bob’s
own way :
“Ooediy just before Christum a
state official eutered my office aud
said: *1 have been implored by a
poor, miserable wretch in the peniteu
tiary to bring you this ruJo li idle. It
was made by his owu hands with a
pen knife during the hours allotted to
him for rest. It is absolutely value
less, it is true, but it is his petition for
mercy. He hogs .due to si/ that he
has neither attorney nor influential
friends to plea! for him; he is poor,
and all that he asks is, when the gov
eruor sh ill sit at his own li-edde on
Christmas eve with his own happy
children a.ouud him, he will play one
tuuo on this rough li Idle aud think of a
cabin far away in the mountains iu
which is a family crying for bread aud
listening for the returning footsteps of
ihe’r couvicte I father.”
Who would not hive been touched
by such au appeal? When (diristm is
eve came the governor sat at his own
fireside, surrounded by his own happy
family, aud, sitting there, he played
one tuuo on the rough li Idle. Far up
iu the mountains there was another
hearthstone bright and warm, the par
r’oned convict was there with his chil
dren on his knees and his heart re
echoed th s strains which the govern ir
played on the borne made fiddle:
“ Be it ever so humble,
There is no place like home.”

A Forgotten Hero.
Instances of individual heroism were
not lacking among the colored races,
noth uegro and Indian, during the war
of the colonies for tudipcndence.
Oue of the most noted among the
black men who fought against the
British was Austin Dabney, a young
mulatto liviug in Pike County, Georgia.
Aus in was a free mac, ami was known
to the plauters for his sobriety and iu
du'try even when a boy. Ho shoulder
ed a musket ami joined the army,
working in the trenches aud lighting
bravely duriug three years.
lie was severely wounded in a skir
mish iu the winter of ’77, ami was car
ried in the house of a planter named
Harris, where he was kindly eared for
and nursed back to health. As Boon
as he could walk he joined the army
again aud remuiued until the end of
the war, when iu lecoguition of his
bravery a pension was granted him by
the government.
Thu State of Georgia also gave him
valuable laud. Dabney tilled it so
skillfully as to become a wealthy man.
He had neither wife nor children.
His bcuufactor, Harris, had died,
leaving a helpless family, ami the great
iul negro gave all his means and life
to theii service lie supported thorn as
long as he lived, sending the oldest boy
to college and then to the law school.
When at the end of throe years
young Harris came up for examina
tion, Dabney stood iu the court-room
trembling with anxiety. When the boy
passed through triumphantly aud was
welcomed to the bar, the old uegro
hurst into tears.
He lived to a great age, and was
honored throughout his native state, not
only as a'Veterau who had fought brave
ly tor his country, but us a mutt oi
ability and high integrity.
In the records which Afro-Americans
are now making, for their own en
couragement, of the men of their race
who have achieved success ami distinc
tion struggling against heavy odds,they
should put the story of the poor Geor

C. Hicks, a backwoods Baptist minis

attracting a great deal of attention in
the revival meeting he is now holding
in different parts of Adair county. He
is only alnut 25 years of ago, and has
evidently had only ordinary education
at advantages, but has been, so he
says, a hard student of the Bible ever
since he was first taught to read when
a small hoy. He has committed to
memory every chapter in the Bible
oxcopt two. In order to test the re
liability of lis claim, he closes his
Bible and permits any one to call at
random for different chapters of differ
ent hooks, which he recites at once,
without hesitation, word for word. Ilis
admirers, ho s ever, are disinclined to
accept all of his biblical interpretations,
as he differs with Mopes in his account
of the flood, aud has some ideas pecu

Money in Hay.
Soma very interesting reports of
liay crops in Georgia last year appear
in the last number of the Southern
States Magazine.
Mr. K. A. Copeland, of Greensboro,
made $l5O “clear profit” from a single
acre of Bermuda grass—despis' d of all
contontots.
Major W. 11. Warren, of Augusta,
cut -400 tons of Bermuda grass hay, as
weighed when cured, from acres,
which he sold at prices ranging from
S2O to $25 a tou, or SB,OOO for the
crop. After deducting the expense of
emting, baling, etc., “the clear profit
was $5,500,” or at the rate of SGO per
acre of Bermuda grass.
I lie lion. Felix Corput, of Floy!
county, cut from one acre a crop of
clover, a crop of Johinoii grass aud a
crop of mixed hay, making a total of
seven aud a half tons, which netted
him s77—or about as much as ho
would not from ouo hundred acres of
live cent cotton, or twauty live acres of
seven cent cotton.
I ho experience of these enterprising
Georgia farmers proves how profitable
the cultivation of the grasses can be
made in this £>tate.
Georgia hay is as good as any. In
fact the bast Bermuda hay grown in
this State will win stock from almost
any other variety that is offered them.
Wo are glad to know that the hay
crop of Georgia is increasing, but it
should be many times greater than it
is. I here is uo reason why Georgia
farmers should depond upon the west
in any degree for provisions for them
selves ord,heir stock. There is money
in Georgia hay.—Atlanta Journal.
