WE®# 4 *“ TIMES. by to Lem: <» jouxsox. J. A. FOtit'HK, Editor. Entered at the postofliee at McDonough Ga., as second-class mail matter. McDonough. Ga., A lost 28, 1891. On the Wing. Mr. Editor: —Having occasion to travel around smartly for several days it will perhaps be of some benefit to your numerous readers to learn the state of crops, and how the best far mers are making them. Crops generally are what one would term poor, caused by excess of rain in the earlv spring, and laterly by drouth. Early planted corn, gensrally suffeied for want of rain, and, hence, is not what would be termed a full crop ; but bottom lands and uplands of later planting are generally good. There appears to be but little chance for farmers to make any money out of this crop, except, now and then, one who has nerve enough to depart fiom the old starvation plan of fertilizing. When we say starvation plan, it means to say that we, in the main, use too little fertilizers to make it pay. Let us, briefly, analyze the situation. One plants a piece of land in cotton, and semi-occasionally in corn, year iu and year out, with 125 to 200 pounds of guano per acre. The consequence is, for want of rotation in small grains and light fertilizing the lands become jioorer each year. It is needless to argue that heavy fei tilizing pays bet ter than light, but for the benefit of thinking men we will give some facts connected with farmers who are, this year, going to make mouey out of cotton at 7 cents per pound. While in Locust Grove district a day or two since it was our good fortune to call on Capt. .Sam Glass, lie showed us his cottmi crop of twenty acres, which will easily make 1000 pounds per acre. And, better still, a thirty acre corn crop that will make twenty bushels per acre. The Captain has other farms that will not do so well, lie attributes his spleudid crops to lib eral fertilizing and a small acreage. He keeps throe mules for cultivating fifty acres. Expressing our admiration for his fine crops, he said: “Since you seem to lie ‘stuck’ on good crops, I’ll show you a couple of miles below here,in Iluttscounty, some some of the best cotton you ever laid your two looking eyes on, and you’ll say it when you’ve seen it. Where upon we told him nothing would please us better than to see the best cotton patch in the woild. Equipped with a gray mule and a jumper, we soon found ourselves halted befored a neat cottage situate amid growing crops. “Mr. Cal Meredith, Mr. McGinnis,” said Capt. Glass, us a stalwart two story specimen of athletic humanity extended his brawny plow-handle grabber to us. We expressed our un feigned delight to meet this herculean specimen of Ciuciunatus, and informed him that we had come to see “that good cotton” of his. “Yes, Mr. McGiunis,” said he, as a smile placed leap frog oyer his coun tenauce, “I guess it’s good, for I’m sure I never heard it make use of uo iwproper language.” “You do not comprehend me, Mr. Meredith. When 1 used the term “good” I had no reference to your cotton's moral or religious training, but merely to its physical development. Capt. Glass assured me that you had some of the best cotton in the known world, and on his simple declaration 1 have come to see.” “W ell, gentlemen, here's the cotton, see for yourselves,” said Meredith. 'Ve entered a two acre patch. Ge whilekins ! the Cutton struck us alrout the armpits. It was bending right and left, loaded with bolls nearly as large as a turkey’s egg. The stalks will av erage fifty bolls to the stalk, and forty of them will make a pound of cotton. Competent judges say the two acres will make five bales, which no one will doubt after seeing the cotton. He has fifteen other acres in cotton that will make twenty bales. On the first two acres he used S3O worth of fertilizer per acre, giving it the most thorough preparation. On the fifteen acres alluded to he put $lO worth of guauo per acre, giving it tbs same thorough preparation as the first two acres. There are many other fine crops in the same neighborhood, notably those of Rev. Jim Kimbell and Billy Fletch er. These farmers have all bidden adieu to the old method, and are using the best selected cotton seed, more fertilizers, deeper plowing, less acre age, and making their supplies at home. The result is they are making money and buying laud. McGinnis. Itch on human and horses and all animals cured in 30 minutes by Wool ford’s Sanitary Lotion. Never fail. Sold by U. D.

Deafness Can’t be Cured by local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one wav to cure Deaf ness,and that is by constitutional rerne dies. Deafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this aibe gets inflamed you have a rum bling souud or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, aud unless the intlamation can lie taken out and this tube lestored to its normal condition, hearing will be | destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of | the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by I Catarrh) that we can not cure by tak ing Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHEXXEY A CO..

Hood’s Sarsaparilla is a peculiar medicine, possessing, by virtue of its peculiar combination, proportion, aud preparation, curative power superior to any other article. A Boston lady who knew what she wanted, and whose example is worthy imitation, tells ber experience below: To Get " In one store where I went to buy Hood’s Sarsaparilla the clerk tried to induce me buy their own instead of Hood’s; he told me their'* would last longer; that I might take it on ten days’ trial; that If I did not like it I need not pay anything, etc. But be could not prevail on me to change. I told bim I kuew what Hood's Sarsaparilla was. I bad taken it, was satisfied with it, and did not want any other. Hood’s When I began taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla I was feeling real miserable, suffering a great deal with dyspepsia, and so weak that at times I could hardly stand. I looked, and had for some time, like a person in con sumption. Hood’s Sarsaparilla did me so much good that I wonder at myself sometimes, and my friends frequently speak of it.” Mna. Ella A.
