barring then they will open thar
Rip Van Winkle eyes and begin to
see the posserbilities of makin mo
ney mo easeriy than er planting of
cotton, even at 10 cents er pound.
I got to Sggerin on the crop that
peach orchid (nought bring an hitjes
passes the bounds of reason to look
at the calcerlation. Spose we allow
that each tree will bar a half-bushel
of peaches, an that they bring in
net 50 cents a bushel, 5,000 bushels
will be $250 00 clar moqey. Sposin
the same 100 acres was planted in
cotton and brought a bale to every
two acres, how much fertilize!
would hit take to make those 50
bales cotton ? Then all ihe gol burn
ed hard work of preparrin the
grown, the piantin theeboppin out,
the homg and the plowin, then the
ginning and the haulm An, an, I’ll
be dod rot if I didn’t leave out tbe
pickin—pity too you couldn’t leave
it out and let them durn fufu fel
lers who wants to fix the price of
cotton before hits grown, iet them
go to theFiilipino Irelands and buy
it at 5 cents a pound—an hits a com-
in to that.
We ole fellows may not live to
see hit, but before many years pass
by thar will be a great change in
the agricultural persutes of ole
Georgy. Yes sir; within ten years
the staple crops of this ole state will
be peaches, pecans and watermil-
yune—an you fellers are rite in the
cream of tb9 deestrick what 19 goin
to raise em.
Now, if I had a hundred acres cf
good corn land I would set out 10,000
peach trees on it, but would first
plant 5,000 pecan nut trees, setting
em 30 feet apart each way, marking
each one with a big stake—then
down the center of each row of pe
cans, I would plant, 15 feet apart,
ray early peach trees (an I know of
three fine ferrieties) then if blight or
yail&rs or the Sang Hosea scale tuk
ray peach trees why thar was my
pecans agrowing and a growing un
til, in praps ten yers they would be
50 feet high and each a barin of a
bushel of nuts at $5.00 and thar is
another $25,000 cron for yer.
Buddy, you young feller, dont let
a good thing pass you by, dont let
the Hon. Brinson and Judge Jones
and Curne! Smith mernoperliae this
business, but take my advice if you
haiut got ten acres of land, git it,
git it some how. You only w 7 ant
ten acres to be inderpenduit ten
yers from now. Plant it out with
50 trees to the aero, 500 two yer old
pecan trees will cost you only $75.00
and when planted take care of
them and they will take care of you
later erloug.
Old man! You sitting thar a won-
derin what will becoms of the fam
iiy if you drapped off. I’ll tell you,
if you will go an put in 5 or 10 acres
in pecan trees you will bo a puttin
in of a insurance policy fer yer fam
ily—thats what! Lemrae tell
yer! I speak from age and experi-
uns. Fifteen years ago I planted
100 two yer old pecan trees and each
one is now as good to me as a hun
dred dollar U. S. bond; better, by
golly, for they pay higher inlerest.
Then while you are planMng, bar
n mind to plant too, the Mamouth
Japan chestnut and JapaD w’alnuts.
Oh! I tell you thars a good time a
coming, if you fellers,old and young
only take my advice—plant these
nut trees, plant peaches between
the pecans.
So, I am glad Mr. Editor, that I
saw 7 your piece about the peach farm
for what 1 have written yer, may
induce many a poor, hard-working
feller ter put on his thinking cap
and drap into this new industrial
procession.

Meeting of the U. D. C.
This extract from the Columbus
Enquirer Sun we re-pub!ish with
pleasure. The high encomiums paid
Mrs. R. C. Neely is gratifying to her
friends who knew 7 her worth in the
U. D. C. We know 7 that no better se
lection for the office of treasurer
could have been made.
“It will bs many a day before Co-
iurabus will have assembled within
her gates again such a body of
bright women. It is but truth to
say that the gentlemen who attend
ed the convention were not only
deeply interested, but somewhat
surprised. They expected to see s
convention of representative Geor
gia women, but they were hardly
prepared for the many easy and
graceful public addresses, the per
fect knowledge of parliamentary
usage, and the splendid executive
ability cf the presiding officers, that
proved such interesting features.
And not ouly this, but the amount
of solid work that was disposed of
was a trifle surprising. After the
opening session the convention set
tled down to business, anu aimosf
the entire three days were devoted
to the methodical consideration of
the various matters brought before
the body.
“At the conclusion of yesterday’s
session the recording secretary,Mrs.
R.O, Neely, of Waynesboro,read her
minutes to the eonveutIon.aod,with
one or two very slight corrections
made, they were adopted by the
convention. Mrs. Neely did this
work in a splendid manner and de
serves much praise. In her minutes
the work of the convention is cov
ered completely and yet in very
concise manner. Her work as sec
retary was very generally compli
mented, and the convention show
ed its appreciation by electing her
to a state office for another term of
two years—that of treasurer.”
Mr. J E. Tarver, one of Augusta’s

!
M r. Ben Malabar, out a little ways
from town, gathered sad housed
from one acre 280 bushels of sweet
potatoes. So far this seems to be
ahead. However Mr. W.D Fulcher
says he ha-; sold already, after sup-
plyfng family use $119 00 worth
from three-quarters of an acre.
Then Col. Ed Fulcher comes in
and says he doesn’t know exactly
how many he raised on a strip about
an acre, but says he dug a ditch
along side to drain a slop, and the
vines ran over the ditch from the
patch. The ditch is, he says, about
a yard wide and two feet deep, or
more. The vines took root in the
ditch and the potatoes have filled
ihe ditch twice now, averaging 3 or
4 pounds a piece, and is filling up
again.He is getting tired of cleaning
out the ditch crop, tho he hasn’t
touched the main crop which is
sticking up like cypress knees all

fell before his fatal blue whistlers
It weighed 155 pound. The doctor
was on a visit to Geo.W. Jones,Esq
one of the most hospitable men in
Georgia as well as the best hunter
in Burke county, Besides this deer
the two bagged ducks,rabbits, birds,
turkeys, coons, wild cats, didappers
and maybe a few jay birds. No
doubt about it the doctor had a glo
rious time, but it will take some
thing weighty to hold him down
since killing the buck, for a while
He furnishes U9 proof that there
was a buck killed for we have the
fine antlers on exhibition in our of
fice,a splendid specimen of an Ogee-
ehee deer.

E. SPERLING,
WAYNESBORO, GEORGIA,
My what a difference. Ten months
ago you started out full ot hopes
and good resolutions. Your resolu
tions were soon gone, but your
hopes were great and prospects
were fine. You planted for ten bales
of cotton to the plow, which you
expected to get 10 cents per pound
for. Six hundred dollars for your
cotton crop to say nothing of corn,
peas, potatoes, watermelons aud
other small crops. In other word9
you thought you would make some
thing like fifty “rocks” per month,
besides having most cf your pro
visions at home. No wonder you
were light-hearted and whistled
merrily as you stepped lightly be
hind ihe plow that turned tho fer
tile soil that wa9 so sure to bring
you in such a handsome income.
That’s what made you sing —
“Got no money but I will have
some.”
But there was no use of a man
doing so well, stinting himself and
family, when you could get what
you wanted and pay for it when
you 9old your cotton. So you went
to town and told the merchant bow
much cotton you were planting and
how much cotton you expected to
make. Tho merchant drew up a
little paper, got you to sign it, and
than you could get anything you
wanted just like you had the money.
And you bought eomo things that
you could have done without, but
you wanted it and knew you could
pay for it and you got it. But alas
for you, it all went on the book of
fate with another 25 per cent, on
the regular cash price. And now
your crop i3 gathered and your
prospective ten bales ha9 come
short by three balo3 and the ex
pected 10 cents per pound is off 25
per cent and your other crops are
short. In fact everything seems to
be shrunk up except your account
and that is twice as much as you
thought it was, and you find your
little cotton ^crop hardly equal to
the emergency, to say nothing of
the new buggy and nice furniture
and a hundred and one other things
that you had planned to get to
make your wife and children hap
py-
Thus your hopes that budded so
brightly with the leaves in the
pring have also faded and fallen
with them, and you find yourself
with just a little money and a lot of
of experience, both of which will
greatly benefit you it you will use
them in the right way It is not
the man that makes the mo9t mon
ey that succeeds, but the one that
knows how to spend it. Be sure
you spend each penny where It will
buy the biggest values.
The Cash Concern submits to you
a few prices to consider before you
buy, and if after careful comparison
you find that you can beat them we
advise you to do it, but if you can’t
find belter values for the money we
will greatly appreciate your patron
age. We want to show you what
we will do.

are the leaders of low prices,” “we
make quick saies and small profits.”
