Governor Hardwick, it is said, has. virtually made up his m-indl that the constitution of Georgia forbids the whipping of cenvicts. The constitvtion provides that neither whipping nor banishment from the ctate shall be imposed upon any person as a punishment for crime. The whipping of a conviet or a prisoner at the state farm i 3 an incidental part of the sentence imposed upon him as a punishment . for ‘crime, the gov ernor 18- inglined to believe, and, therefore, - in his epinion, comes within the meaning of the con stitution.

If we sow wheat we reap wheat, if we sow, or plant corn we. reap corn. A handful of wheat would net feed a family, but if sown and fertilized would yield a suffi cient amount to feed a large family several days. The above is just as true with money as anything else. We all want to accumulate money and the best way to do it is to plant it by depositing it in a good safe, strong bank, like ours, where it will accumulate and LZrow. e Let us help you with your money crop. . _ % BANK OF LEESBURG, G.A.NEsSBIT, PRESIDENT ' O.W.STATHAM, VICE-PRESIDENT T..C.
