Mr. James E. Newbury is now

row, and roast potatoes once more
in the good old way.
S e o
Farmers should remember what
ever prosperity they have won in
the past year or two is due to the
large grain crops which they have
raised. Let this sort of work go
on and the success and independ
ence of the farmer is assured.—
Nothing like independence on a
farm. It is the happiest life a
man ever led.
Dr. R. G. Jones, of this city, has
sold his plantation below town to
a Mr. Gay, of Early county, for
the sum of $6,200. The place con
tains 500 acres and the sale in
cludes all the machinery on the
farm. Itis a cheap place and
Mr. Gay may congratulate him
self upon having one of the most
desirable farms in Terrell county.
The time is coming in the near
future of this country when the
farmer will command that respect
and dignity to which his position
so richly entitles him. Of all the
professions known to man there
are none that should be more hon
orable and exalted than thatof
farmiong. But, after all, it is the
man and not the profession that
commands respect.

PRICES LOW.
GIVEHER A CALL.
We have been requested to ex
plain for the benefit of the farm
ers what is meant by “points” in
referring to the price of eotton.—
One hundred poiuts represents
just cie cent. ‘When a man says
that cotton i off 25 points he
means that cotton is down one
quarter of a cent; or, when l_xe says
that cotton is off 12} points he
means that it is off one-eigth of a
cent; and so on.
Notwithstanding that the cotton
crop is short in Terrell it is not so
bad as it is in Baker and other
counties in lower Georgia. While
we would not rejoice over the mis
fortunes of our neighbors, we do
rejoice that it is no worse with us.
People may not believe it but it is
a fact, nevertheless, they will re
ceive just as much or more money
from the short crop than they
would have gotten from a large
crop. The history of the cotton
crop since the war proves this to
be true. |

We learn from our School
Commissioner, Judge L. M. Len
nard, that the public schools of
the eounty are now generally in
operation and that the attendance
of children is vnusually large.—
The Commissioner afl;o thinks
that the efficieney, as well as the
proficiency, of teachers in the
county is greatly improved since
last year. ~ Judge Lennard has the
interest of the publie schools of
our county greatly at heart and
we doubt not that they will com
‘pare favorably with the schools of
‘any county in the state.
The Cuthbert Enterprise in
speaking of the resources of Ran
dolph says:
“Many of the small farms aver
age half a bale of cotton to the
acre over the whole farm, while a
bale to the acre is not at all un
common.”
Will the Enterprise be kind
enough to furnish us with a list of
its farmers who have found it no
“uncommon” thing to make a bale
of cotton to the acre? Itis just
possible that such an exhibit
would have the effect to stimulate
the farmers of Terrell.
It can be no longer doubted
that the cotton erop will turn out
a full two-thirds average crop;
and this, too, the prettiest cotton
ever raised in Georgia. We don’t
remember ever to have seen so
much middling cotton from one
crop. When 1t is remembered
that the early storm of last year
threw about one-half of the cotton
crop upon the market as “storm
cotton,” and that a large per cent
age of it was sold from six to eight
cents per pound, there can be no
further doubt but what the pres
ent crop will bring more money
into the country than the one of
last year.
We were asked the question
last week why it was that we had
not said anything in the Journal
about the cotton all being picked
out. For he reason that the cot
ton had not all been picked out.—
There is still a good deal of cotton
to pick in some sections of our
county yet. We are not among
those who would make matters
worse than they really are. It is
true that the cotton crop is a short
one, but we believe, after all, that
it will bring as much money into
the country as a larger one would
have done. So long as our people
have plenty of bread and meat
they have no cause of complaint,
especially so, since the cotton crop
is a universal failure. Our posi
tion has always been that a five
willion bale erop would bring as
much money as a seven million
bale erop. Who will gainsay this
preposition ?
On last Monday, we took the
pains to go 'round to the several
ware-houses in the ecity and find
out the number of bales of cotton
each house had received up to
that time. Putting them all to
gether we found that Dawson had
received this season, 5,120 bales of
cotton. Including what has been
received this week, we suppose
the receipts will aggregate, up to
date, something like 5,500 bales.—
Last season, Dawson received
10,000 bales. The probability
now is that she will receive this
season about 7,500 bales, possibly
8,000. It must be remembered,
however, that Dawson is getting a
good deal of ecotton this season
from a territory that she never
reached before. This is only in
evidence of the fact that Dawson
is a growing town, and we expect
to see the time come when her
cotton receipts will be doubled.
A Remarkable Case of Horse
Vanity.
Mr. Lawson Melton, of this ecity,
has a mirrorin the side of one of
his stables; and he hasa horse
which goes, every day, several
times, and looks at himself with a
peculiar air of personal pride, as
if he were a young dandy. He
steps before the glass, takes a
look at his face, then he turns and
serutinizes himself, from side to
side, with eritical inspeetion of
his form and proportions; and
when he is satisfied with his mas
culine bangs, the graceful flow of
his mane, and the exquisite donn
ing of his eurry comb, he then
goes away., Who can say that a
horse is not heir to the personal
vanities so common to mankind?
To be sure, this horse has had a
good deal of training from exam
ple. His masSter, no doubt, has
had considerable influence upon
his powers of imitation; for he is
a fine looking gentleman, dresses
handsomely, and generally looks
as neat as a 4 band-box. We do not
say that his master is vain, at all;
but the horse may think so.—
Whatever the opinion of the ani
‘mal is, be is evidently striving
with his master to maintain a
handsome personal appearance.—
We don’t know but it would be
good for other citizens to erect a
mirror in their stables. Perhaps,
if the horses did not learn any
thing from exampleor appearancs,
they might be inspired, flrom con
sideration of self, to ecultivate
style. We consider this a new
and important discovery in the
cultivation of fine stock; and we
would recommend this item of
horsology to the general consid
eration of mankind. As yet
there is no patent on it.
College Exercises.
The regular montbly wunion
meeting of the Alpha and Euter
pean literary societies of the South
Ga. Male and Female College was
held in College Chapel on last
Friday night. It has been the
custom, heretofore, to hold these
meetings on a certain Friday af
ternoon of each month, but for
good and satisfactory reasons the
time has been echanged from the
afternoon to night. The plan isa
good one and will work wzll. The
programme presented on last
Friday night was an interesting
one, and the exercises thoughout
seemed to entertain the large au
dience presént. Some of the reci
tations and orations were excep
tionally fine, while others were not
so good. A few of the young la
dies and gentlemen and even little
children deserve special mention,
but to attempt it in this notice
would require more space than we
can spare. From the President,
we learn, that the college is in &
most flourishing condition, and
that new pupils are entering the
school every week.
| House Burned.
" On last Monday afternoon while
Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Prince were
sitting on their front porch, two
miles west of town, on the Sea
wright place, one of their little
children came rushing out and re
ported the house on fire. Mr.
Prince ran in and upon opening the
door of a small shed room found
the fire, already, beyond control.
So rapidly did the fire burn it was
found utterly impossible to stay
its ravages. fn fact,the destruction
of the house was but the work of
a few minutes. Mr. Prince lost
everything except a bed, » mat
tress and a chair. The wearing
apparel of the family ‘was even
burned. It leaves tge family in
very distressing circumstances and
a generous public should respond
liberally to the petition now bein
circulated seeking aid in behalf o%
the unfortunate family. The
building was the property of Mr.
W. E. G. Wall, lately occupied by
Dr. Reeves. The loss sustained
by Mr. Wall will, also, be consid
erable. The cause of the fire is
not absolutely known, but sup
posed to have resulted through
the carelessness of a little negro
girl. We take this occasion to
warn the public against the dan
ger of fires. Should your resi
dence get on fire at such adry
time as it has been for the past
several weeks it would be almost
imnossible to eontrol the flames.
