Neither of the three members of the
council will offer for re-election, cadi

will literary pursuits. They have al¬
ready secured some thirty or thirty

EXCHANGE SURPLUS
FRUIT TREES,
FRl IT TREE EXCHANGE BEING
INAUGURATED IN NEWTON. A
WAY TO GET TREES AND VINES
WITHOUT COST.
I assume that every farm in New¬
ton county has on it one or more fruit
trees that are not needed by the farm¬
er living on it.
It is customary in the winter or
spring to cut down or grub up these
Surplus trees and destroy them along
with other unnessary sprouts about
the farm.
These consist of peach trees grow¬
ing on hedges, by gullies and ditches
or under favorite old trees; cherries,
aples, plums, damsons, pears, quinces,
tigs, strawberries, rasp]terries, black¬
berries, currants, pomegranates, um¬
brella china; all of which grow from
the roots of the parent trees; and
many others of various kinds.
One farmer may have more of these
than he needs to supply his own wants.
Instead of trowing them away, the
Emit Tree Exchange, which is now
inaugurated in Newton county, and
becomes operative at once, contempla¬
tes a distribution of these valuable
trees among other farmers who need
them.
A farmer in going to town or visit¬
ing,, or leaving home on any mission
can take his mattock and shovel and
dig up a tree, or two, or a dozen, take
them with him, find any friend who
needs them and supply his wants.
This act of kindnes from one will
arouse a similar mood in another when
he will very probably think of some
friend whom lie would delight to favor
with a like kindness.
Everybody in the county should feel
a pride in aiding a friend to add at
least one more fruit tree or vine to
his orchard or vineyard. Let us not
do this with any hope of personal gain
even to the extent of receiving a tree
in return. Let us give freely and with
gladness.
Our resources are slender this win¬
ter on account of the deplorable for¬
eign war, and we do not feel able to
buy what trees we may need from the
nurseries, but if we are thoughful ev¬
ery orchard in our county will come
through the winter with at least one
new tree in it.
If Santa Claus is poor this Christ¬
mas, and we cannot bring us all the
good things we may wish, we can help
him a little by bringing a choice tree
or vine, or shrub, or bulb, or flower to
some one we and old Santa love.
Now, just for the sake of love we
bear to our county and the good fel¬
lowship amongst her people, let us
join at once the fruit tree Exchange
and do what we can to emulate the
teachings of the unselfish Christ who
lived this life on earth thinking only
of others. G. C. ADAMS.
OUTLINE ON SWEET PEAS
BY MISS JOSIE REYNOLDS.
Sweet peas are not hard to grow,
but they are very particular about a
few things. This is the way to grow
extra line sweet peas.
1 >ig a trench two feet deep and one
foot and a half wide. Fill in with a
rich, well worked soil until your trench
is only one foot deep. If you can’t get
this, use old cow manure. Then two
inches of soil, then sprinkle wood ash¬
es. then put another layer of soil. This
is a queer kind of layer cake, but the
sweet peas like it. Then you will have
a trench six inches deep. Take a
string and divide lengthwise into three
parts so that each will lie about six
inches wide. The middle division is
for brush. On the space each side,
sow the seed. Sprinkle it thinly over
the whole six inches. Don't sow it in
a narrow row. Then cover the seed
with one inch of soil and press down.
After the little plants come up. till in
the trench until it is level with the
ground. If' you like, you can plant
sweet peas just as you plant garden
peas, but this way although it is a lit¬
tle more trouble, is the way to have
extra tine ones. The worst enemy you
will have it the cut-worm. You will
find him a half inch below the sur¬
face of the ground hard at work cut¬
ting the stalks off.
Sweet peas like to be kept moist. It
is a good thing to spread lawn grass
clippings over tin* roots. Here are
some oft he best kinds.

A delightful occasion for the pupils
of Livingston school was the reception
given in their honor by Prof. Hicks
on Thanksgiving evening.
There were 65 pupils present includ¬
ing the guests. The parlor and long
corridor were decorated with palms
and ferns, while the dining room was
made beautiful with autumn leaves,
candles and fruits. On arriving the

Fay Harjjer added much to the occa¬
sion with delicious marsh mellow pud¬
ding. cake and cocoa.

interesting readings and musical num¬
bers while the tableaux scenes of
Puritan days was watched with eager¬
ness. The guests left feeling that thej
bad obeyed the injunction “laugh and
grow fat.”—Oue present.
HOGS FOR COTTON
IN THE SOUTH
THE UNITED STATES GOVERN¬
MENT ADVISES THE FARMERS
TO GROW LIVE STOCK AS A
MONEY CROP.
Washington, D. ('.—Four measures
are being recommended by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture to farmers
of the Smith in order to remedy the
conditions created by the collapse of
the cotton market. These are:
1. The reduction of excuses by the
production of more food for the fami¬
ly and more grain and forage for the
live stock.
2. The substitution of other money
crops for part of the cotton acreage.
.'!. The raising of more live stock.
4. The addition of humus to the soil
in order to make fertilizer less exten¬
sive.
The first thing to be done, say the
Government sjiecialists is to plant
winter crops to be used partly for win¬
ter and spring grazing, partly for the
spring hay and grain and partly for
cover crops to be turned back into soil
for fertilizing purposes. These crops
should include oats for grain and oats
barley, or rye for bay, and any one of
these for winter and spring grazing or
for humus value. Although October
and November are the best months for
planting these crops in the cotton conn
try, the time may l>e extended into
the winter. The winter crops should
he followed by summer legumes such
as cow peas, soy beans, eac. Fall and
winter vegetables should be planted
for home use and for the market.
Hogs are reeonnueded as the best
form of live stock to grow. Immediate
steps should be taken to increase the
profits from hog and hog products by
the planting of crops for winter and
spring grazing, to be followed by sum¬
mer and fall crops for the same pur¬
pose. Growers are also being warned
to take rigid precaution, against hog
cholera. If strict quarintihe measures
are adopted and if the animals, when
threatened, are inoculated with anti
liog-cholera serum, growers should suf¬
fer little loss from this source.
Hogs, however, can not be grown
profitably when they have to be fed on
grain at $1.00 a bushel. A succession
of pasture crops is therefore of prime
importance. For Georgia, rain* rye. bur
and crimson clover and vetch arc
recommednded with cowjieas, bernm
da pasture, alfalfa, velvet beans, arti¬
chokes. and above all, peanuts to fol¬
low these.

ANYWAY WE HAVE
SOME GOOD DOGS
THE CLIPPING BELOW WAS GIV¬
EN US WITH A PROMISE THAT
IT WOULD APPEAR ON THE 1ST.
PAGE OF THE PAPER.
The following is a clipping that was
handed us by one of the best citizens
of Covington. It is a good clipping,
and the only consolation that we can
get out of reading it is that we may?
have some good dogs.
Here’s the clipping:
"Georgia farmers get up early at the
alarm of a Connecticut Clock, button
their Chicago suspenders to foreign
overalls, put on a pair of shoes made
in Ohio, wash in a Pittsburg basin,
use Cincinuatti soap, wipe on a towel
made in New Hampshire, sit down,
eat hot biscuit made in Minneapolis,
Kansas city bacon, Indianapolis grits,
fried in Omaha lard; buy Irish pota¬
toes grown in Michigan, canned fruits
put up on the Pacific coast and season¬
ed with Rhode Island spices. The
meal over they slap on an old hat
made in Philadelphia, harness a Mis¬
souri mule, fed on Iowa corn and plow
mortgage covered farms with an In
dianna plough; at night crawl under
New Jersey blankets and are kept
awake by Georgia dogs—the only home
products on the place. No wonder we
are poor.”
YV. C. T. U. MTDAL CONTEST.
On next Friday evening Dec. 4th the
Covington Union of the Woman’s
Christian Temperance Union, lias ar¬
ranged to give a medal contest, repre¬
sentatives from each Sunday School to
take part.
Master Robert Gordon, Thomas Lo¬
gan. James White, and Joseph Gary
will contest for the two boys medals.
Misses Annie Mae King, Gladys Wil¬
son, Effie McGarity and Helen Mea¬
dor will contest for the girls medal.
Exercises begin promptly at 7:30.
There will lie music and a good time
generally. Admission, adults 10c; chil¬
dren 5<*. The public is cordially invit¬
ed to come out .
planting these crops is that all avail¬
able labor is now needfed in the cotton
fields. This emphasizes all the more
the extensive use of machinery and im¬
plements which will minimize the need
for human labor and set the hands
free to do other urgent work on the
farms.
