Those great miracles of the feeding of the loaves and fishes to the multitudes have a never-dying interest for all who read it. And we think one reason for it is that almost daily we see the miracle repeated in some measure in human affairs. You see a man whose whole being seems charged with the power of some great idea or ideal. And, like a battery, he thrills all about him with the same power until the enthusiasm becomes translated unto deeds. So the man multiplies himself and becomes a miracle through the endless works inspired by his idea and his energy. Such were the men who peopled this country, who made the waste places of our land to blossom as the rose and settled cities in the wilderness. They were men greater than themselves, because their desires and their deeds were for others as well as their own good. They attracted to their sides and enlisted in their cause the higher and holi er longings in other men about them, the best in them all. And here is the greatest miralce: this best that there is in men, be eoiningactive and working through these men actually transformed such men, so that they would hard ly recognize themselves before a great idea seized them. These men miraculously m u 1 i p 1 i e d their capacities and activities by taking hold of purposes for the general good. Of such type of men are Messrs- Cooper and McKinney, who assist ed us in starting off our Board of Trade last Friday night. They are very busy men whose time is very valuable, yet they glad ly gave their time to assist us and would insist on doing so even at their own expense, saying they would do that for the good of the cause. There are in Atlanta number such men, many of them men of wealth, who are ever ready for good work of this kind. So, to those who have much energy is given more energy, until they work wonders. And from those who have little energy is tak en even that which they have until they are a dead weight to progress. McDonough has many men of the better class. The Board of Traide movement is their opport unity for service and growth. McDonough must move. Will you put your shoulder to the wheel and help its progress or lie in its pathway and impede its progress? McDonough must jnove foward or backward. The direction it shall move de pends on you. move with McDonough and move McDonough on ward AND UPWARD. Stockbridge.

The “opossum” hunt gotten up by Mrs. Rose Lee Ellison last Fri day evening for the benefit of U. D. C. Library fund, was unique in every detail and a most delightful occasion for about twenty young people, chaperoned by Mrs. John Bellah. The party returned about midnight to Mrs. John Walden’s residence with one “’possum” to enjoy. Five had previously been prepared and well cooked in the usual style, with sweet patatoes, by Mrs. Walden. Mrs. Claud Lee, of Atlanta, spent the week end with Mrs. John Wal den. Rev. F. D.

P’’"' BALE THE HAY By G. H. Alford, I H C Service Bureau, Atlanta, Ga. Baled hay is much more valuable as a feed than loose hay, even when the loose hay is well housed. Loose hay carries a great quantity of dust and often gives the farm ani mals a severe cough while baled hay does not. Baled hay takes up about one-fifth as much room as loose hay and for this reason the entire crop of baled hay can usually be stored under cover while loose hay must be exposed to the weather in stocks and ricks. Baling breaks up coarse hay so that the stock will eat it more readily and there is no waste in feeding baled hay. Baled hay is always ready for the market. It is convenient and satis factory to handle in every way. It can be hauled by team or shipped by railroad. Much of the tops and sides of stacks is spoiled by the weather. Loose hay becomes dusty and musty. Baling hay keeps out the dust and preserves the hay. Baled hay retains much of the sweet hay odor that stock relish. There’s a freshness and appetizing quality and feed value in baled hay that is never to be found in loose hay We should bale our hay whether we feed it on our own farms or sell it. Of course, the market demand is for baled hay—and for baled hay only and for this reason baling is the only way to be sure of having a market for it The growing of hay and especially leguminous hay as cowpea, soy bean, peanut and lespedeza will rapidly in crease the fertility of our soils, make the raising of good live stock profit able and add very much to fhe income on the farms. We can buy a one-horse pull-power hay press or we can buy a motor hay press. For the small farmer who bales hi? own hay. the one-horse pull power hay press will prove very satis factory and economical. With it he can bale his hay at the time most con venfent and with a small amount of help. For the farmer who grows large quantities of hay or for the farmer who bales hay for his neighbors the two-horse pull-power or the motor hay press is necessarv LEGAL NOTICES. executor's sale.
