Melgi, Ga,, July 25, 1KH.—Editor Tlmes- Enterprlse: One would hardly, auppoae, looking at those small baskets that re dally being transferred from one train to uni»t 1i*t, in Uiir btautlfU] little City that til V i/onlaiii i;r.ip< s horn an l nils-.1 tho lino of Mitchell and Thomas coun ties, anil yet such !s the case, and graphs. that have no superior, both us to size and quality, and that go to the four corners of these United States to gladdet the hearts of tho lovers of this fruit, and the returns from which make broad smiles trace each other over the face of the grower. Grape**, grapes, is the sound that greets one’s ears just about all day In and around this portion of God’s vine yard. On the depot platform. In tne store houses, on the streets, one can hear any time the subject of grape culture being discussed. Even In this hour of great political "talk,’' and even when Debs had tho wheels of commerce tied up and tt.e country waiting f<»r a. breathing spell, grapes seemed to be uppermost In the minds of some of our leading farmers and citizens. Yes, this Is a grape coun try, Indeed, as a visit to some of the vine yards will testify. Even the vines that cover the vine-clad hills of the old North rtate, cannot produce a better , por more f them. Let us look uround and see chat a country can do when with non who will work and risk a little of heart nnd money for the betterment ot themselves and their fellowmao. Here two years ago no one had any ’dea that today (In such a short time) could be gathered a crop of grapes that in valje per acre, would be more than tnrp acres of cotton, and with much less expanse, in fact the difference in the valuo and’the ost of raising the grapes Is so far in advance df that of cotton that a compan ion seems out of the question. Good land nn be bought hero from *10 to *23 per acre, und when set with vines properly tuked will represent ft total of a,bout *75. from which can be gathered yearly from nice Income, judging from tho yenr’s receipts. About elshtrcn months ago some of our now enterprising farmers concluded to transgrcHK the law as laid down by their erthy forefathers, (that Is the raising of cotton n*i n money crop and thereby make a scant living), and go Into something thnt would make for themselves and thetr posterity a living far In advance of that now fit-cured by the average farmer, anu to that end, with trembling nerves and doubting hearts, they have today reared a lasting monument to their pluck and energy, grape vineyards that will do jus tice to any portion of our country* Une hundred or more acres stands as the re sult of this enterprise with many more believers to follow with from five to titty acres each. To give a correct and Inter esting history of the grape culture here would require more space nnd time than l am at liberty to use. hence I will con dense* ns much as possible. Follow me to the vineyards owned by some of our farmers, where eighteen months ago not n sign of grape vines stood. Today they are picking it fair emp, which, when put in the market, will bring tendCMl re turns. Thin shows how’ quick the V and fruit can »>•' r:»'.m.-.i in this the vines here are only seventeen months old,It was predicted that we would hav no grapes, however this xvas a wrong 1m- proillrn as already about 1,600 baske have been marketed from nine acres that were hearing In a vineyard of tw ty-tlve, and which have netted ajbout 40 cents per basket. Prom good authority we have it that an old vineyard will yield About three tons yearly per acre uneb dr cultivation nnd 6®od seasons, which, hen put at the unprecedented small laboring classes, quite a nice sum, which will no doubt appease some of the wrath of our third party friends.

Advice The great financier, gives the follow' Ing good advice to boys','which parents might also read with profit: Boys, go to school as long as you can, and remember every hour spent in study in youryouth will be worth money to you In after life. Read good books; make yourself acquainted with history: study the progress of nations and the careers Of men who have made nations great. “ Study religion, science, statecraft and history. Learn to read Intelligently, so that you can turn to practical use in after life the reading of your youth. Be sure you begin right. Do not waste time In reading trashy books.” Mr. Sage further says: “ The boy who Is wanted in the business world of today must be educated. If his parents cannot afford to give him a college or a high school eduucatlon he must learn to study without the aid of a teacher. In the early mornings before business begins, and In the evenings after business hours. It can no longer be truthfully said that an education Is out of any one’, reach.” This Is the advice of a man who Is one of the most conspicuous business successes of our time, and who has amassed one of the largest fortunes In America. It cannot possibly be charged that he is in the pay of THE ATLANTA CONSTJT UT JON, and yet these words given as the conviction of life of unusual observation and experience ad vise, as strongly as words can that you hasten to accept the offer of The Constitution, and secure this greatest of popular educators, The Encyclopedia Britannica. The edition offered by The ■ Constitution fills every requirement cl Mr. Sage’s recipe for success. It Is the only edition that Is up to date.
