WANTS GRAIN
MARKET ESTABLISHED
COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE
SAYS THAT NOW IS THE TIME
FOR ALL BUSINESS MEN TO GET
TOGETHER FOR RESULTS.
Today a wholesale grain merchant
in Atlanta or any other large town
who wants to buy car-loads of grain
knows that he can buy any number lie
wants from tin* West, and that they
will he shipped at once. He would ra¬
ther buy car-loads of Georgia grain but
he knows of no place where he can put
in a large order and tie sure of prompt
fulfillment, so he orders from the
West.
We must change this if w e expect to
be successful in raising grain as a large
crop. Any man in Georgia knows plen¬
ty of places where he can buy any
amount of cotton; he would not think
.if semliil: to Texas for it. Let us make
that true of wliert and other grains;
let us establish mam- grain markets xn
Georgia where the broker, next spring,
can buy any number of car-loads at a
moments notice.
These changes, sweeping as they are.
must he brought about at once, so that
farmers will Ik* encouraged to plant
at once wheat and other grains.
Decades have been spent in perfect¬
ing cotton farming in Georgia. Methods
of planting, of growing, of picking of
ginning, of selling, of transportation,
have all been worked out so that the
growing and selling of cotton is the
easiest thing the Georgia farmer lias
done up to the present time.
Abandoning these well-known paths
Georgia must, today, by a supreme ef
fort devise and adopt methods for the
growing of products other than cotton.
The land is here; it is up to the Geor¬
gia man to do the rest.
GEO. T. SMITH MAKES MARK
IN HIS EXAMINATION.
Mr. Geo. T. Smith, who has been
studying pharmacy for the past sever¬
al months, stood his examination be¬
fore the State Board in Atlanta last
week and passed his exmination, mak¬
ing the apothecary degree.
Of the 126 that stood the examina¬
tion before he state hoard, only 42
were able to pass, or exactly one-third.
Mr. Smith made a higher mark than
he had hoped to make. Of the five pa¬
pers he made 100 on two and high
marks on the other three. Making this
mark entitled Mr. Smith to be rated
as apothecary, instead of pharmacist.
Mr. Smith’s friends are congratulat¬
ing him on his success.

Y'our Committee appointed to draft
resolutions on the death of Brother O.
L. Holmes, submit the following:
When the faithful heart of Dr. O. L.
Holmes ceased to heat, earth became
poorer and Heaven enriched. Of him
we can say in truth, “The orb that cast
its radiance about us has indeed gone,
but its lustre lingers to light the path¬
way to duty and endeavor.’’
Oscar Lamar Holmes was horn at
Darien, McIntosh county, Georgia on
September 27th, 1876.
When he entered medical college in
Atlanta. Georgia, and graduated three
years later. After his graduation he
took a three years hospital course at
the Grady hospital and uiwn finishing
His course there, lie came to Stewart,
Newton County, where he began prac¬
ticing medicine; living there until the
time of his death. He was a member
of Red Oak Methodist* church and a
most faithful and consistent one.
Brother Holmes was a zealous and
devoted member of the Masonic Fra¬
ternity. He was raised to the Sub¬
lime Degree of a Master Mason by
this lodge June 6th, 1003. lie had at
various times most acceptably filled
important stations in our lodge. He
was Master of this lodge at the time
of his death, and no Mason ever held
a warmer place in the hearts of liis
brethren than did our esteemed late
associate.
Therefore, he it resolved:
First.—That Alcova Lodge No. 31S,
F. & A. M. 1ms lost one of its most
faithful members, and in whose death
each member feels a personal loss.
Second.—That the community has
lost a citizen of great worth. His life
was gentle, his purpose pure, and when
he died he left that priceless heritage
-a good name.
Third.—That a copy of these resolu¬
tions he recorded on our minutes, and
a page dedicated to his memory, hav¬
ing inserbed hereon the date of his
birth and death, and when he was rais¬
ed to a Master Mason; and that the
furniture of our lodge he appropriate¬
ly draped to express our sorrow.
Fourth.—That a copy of these re¬
solutions he sent to his bereaved fami¬
ly ; a copy sent to the county paper,
and one sent to the Masonic He raid
for publication.
Respectfully submitted,
