What Georgia Can Do.
A special to the Atlanta .Journ¬
al from Sylvester on Jan. 1st.
says:
We got tired reading about the
largo hogs raised in the north and
the description given concerning
them, as though that was the on¬
ly place in which large hogs could
be raised; so we decided to let
one of ours run over one year, as
it is our usual custom to kill at
from (5 to y months old.
This one we killed at 25 months
weighing as you see him hanging.
1)32 pounds, with no special care
whatever, and 150 pounds more
could have been put on. The
writer is a northern man, being in
this country only three years, but
can readily see the natural ad¬
vantages for stock raising this
country has, specially Worth
county, as green pastures can he
had the year round, which makes
an assured success for any kind of
stock raising, and the quicker the
southern farmer sees it and gets
into it. the better for him. lie
should quit raising cotton for the
other fellow.
The hams on this hog weighed
(17 pounds, and wo regret to say
the hog only had two.
Trusting you will give the pic¬
ture some space and show some of
those papers, especially two or
three agricultural journals, that
good hogs can be raised in Geor¬
gia, and with less expense than
any state in the Union.
Very truly yours.
The Indiana Fruit Company.

A Handsome Building.
The high school building at
Ashburn, which has just been
completed and is about ready for
occupancy, is the handsomest one
in this section of tho state. It is
built of brick and stone, two sto¬
ries high, and containg all mod¬
ern convenience.
There is no better criterion of
the citizenship of a town than its
public buildings, and the interest
manifested ill religious and edu¬
cational matters; by these, there
are no better people in Georgia
than those of Ashburn.
The Gazette congratulates its
enterprising neighbors, and trusts
the money thus invested will long
remain a monument to their pub¬
lic spirit m visible evidence, us
well as in the educated minds and
hearts of its coming generation.—
Tifton Gazette.
The southern cotton planters
noed some scheme whereby they
can hold their cotton until they
are satisfied with the market
price. As it now is, a majority
of them are forced to sell at a
time when the price is the lowest,
amt it is bdieved by many that
each year they are the helpless
victims of speculators. Tho most
feasible plan of relief yet suggest¬
ed is the bondod warehouse, and
we hope to see it given a fair trial.
—Ocilla Dispatch.
There are 2,512 patients in tho
Georgia Sanitarium for the insane

of mixed candy, one barrel stick

ples.
