Money in Farming
The Albany News gives an in«
teresting account of suecess on the
farm in Calhoun ccunty.
Three years azo Mr, B. W. Da
vis was a commercial traveler for
a large wholesa'e house. He was
getting a good salary, but it ocs
eurred to Him he was not making
eaough. Thereupor, he invested
his surplus in a one mule farm in
Calhoun coun'y, near Dougherty.
On bhis litde farm Mr. Davis
E\\")N(S oune mule. He has this
year cultivated thirty-five acres ot
“eotton, from “which he will ga‘l er
f-om thirty to thirty five bales cf
{cotton. He hus alresdy ginned,
‘{ packed aud sold nineteen bales of
| cocton, the lightest of which weigh
‘i cd five hundred and two pounds.
In addition to this he had fif
teen acres in corn, which will av
erage twenty bushels to tle acre.
He will make fi‘ty bushels of upe
land rice, and one hundred and fifs
ty bushels of sweet votatoe-.
Mr. Davis has nos used a pound
ot commerecial fertilizer on his
place, nor has he bought any wes—

*There is a Happy Land."
How many of the myrizds who
in childhood have sung, “There is

80 years of age, still mentally and
physically vigorous. and retaining

hymn was con posed tor the melo

musieal ear the first time he heard
it casually played in the first draws

and again. It haunted him. Be

and so the hymn wes created. My

The Georgia Legislature.
The general assembly ot Geore

tircee more such encounters are ims

not that members seek to avenge
insults given on the floor, but that

~over 9 bill to establish an industrial
school tor girls, & member tuking
the position that the school ought
not to be established becunse
southera girls should not be
brought into rude eoutact with the
world. It wus a singular position
to take because the average mind
could see in the establishmert of
such a school nothing less than g
wise provision to enabie youny
