Worst Kind of Drunk.
Said a well-known traveling man
from New York, now stopping at
the Maxwell house: ‘I eame here o
sober ap. Dont smile. [t is a fact.
About twice a year I get upon
what is called a spree.
Usually it last only fouror five
days, but this time I vemaiged in
the prohibitioneity of Atlanta on a
three weeks’ drunk. With the
intention of sobering up, | tried
to drink heer but it was s warm
and vile that I had to turn azain
to whisky, and that was =0 abowm-~
inable that two or three drinks of
it would set me erazy. Positively,
it was impossible for me to remain
there and get sober. I have been
here four days, taking a few glasses
of good beer each day, and am
all right again tor mounths to
come.”
“But how did you get whisky
in Atlanta?”
“IHeavens! Don’t ask me how I
got it, but rather ask why I was
such a fool as to drink the terrible
stuft they handle there now.”

The Sweet Potato Crop.
As a rule sweet potatoes ought
to be harvested as soon as fully
matured, though a very gederal
practice is to begin digging the
tubers divectly after the first frost.
If there should be any daubt as to
whether the potato are fully ripe
or not, cut open a few specimens
It the cut dries white the tubers
are ready to harvest; if dark,
they ought to be lett in the ground
a little longer, Where one has
a potato digger this is used, but
harvesting the c¢rop is oftenest
done with a turning plow.
In storing sweet potatoes, na
matter by what mode, an allams
portant point iu their keeping is
dryness and protection from un
due cold, with some means of ven
tilation at the same time. In the
South a usval plan is to bury, the
potatoes in heaps or bank. flarge
growers in colder climates use
houses made with double walls in
closing & packing of sawdust,
