Dr. A. 11. Stapler has decided to
obey the cal! of his maker by going
into the ministry. We called upon
him 3londay morning and in answer
to the question he said, “Yes, I feel
that I am called of God to preach, and
I intend to begin preaching as soon
as I can prepare myself. I want to
attend a theological school. 1 have
not been ordained yet and can’t say
exactly when I will be. 1 have felt
this call for some time and 1 am de
termined to obey it. In all probabili
ty I will give up my profession entire
ly after I have taken my theological
course.” This section is proud of
such a man as the Doctor. He is a
man of fine intellect and w ill do great
good for the Baptist church through
out this country.
Mr. Walter Dorough reached Ho
mer Tuesday the Ist hist, direct Iron
Rusk, Texas, where he had been t
visit his brother. Mr. I). reports
crops good everywhere out west, but
the preset t financial crisis is having a
depressing effect on trade geneially.
He thinks Northeast Texas the “gar
den spot of the world.” The exten
sive beds of iron and coal around
Rusk are being worked by northern
capitalist and the pav roll for the
month of July amounted to twenty
eight thousand dollars. Three hun
dred convicts are also employed at
the penitentiary at that place on the
iron works connected with it. They
have started anew city a mile from
Rusk and has named it New Birming
ham, and in a few years they think it
will rival the city uf Birmingham,
Alabama.
A Great German Paper’s Editor
Says editorially: “I received from
A. K. Hawkes, of Austin, a pair of
his Crystallized Lens spectacles, and
I must say I was surprised to find
them so transparent and fine. I con
sider these spectacles the best in ex
istence, and can highly recommend
them to all those who are obliged to
use glasses. I believe that these
lenses really preserve the eyes, and
not like so many inferior and badly
ground glasses do, injure the sight.

The Stay Law.
The following proceedings of the
Banks county Alliance, adopted by
that body Tuesday, September Ist at
the courthouse in this place, was
handed us for publication, but too
late for last w r eek’s issue:
Report of the committee appointed
to draft suitable resolutions convey
ing the sense of this body' on the
“Stay Law.”
Whereas, The Banks County Far
mers’ Alliance, hnving under consider
ntion the proposed stay law; and
Whereas, We as Allianccmen un
der all circumstances do recommend
honesty and integrity among the mem
bership of the order. Therfore,
Resolved, That we look upon the
Stay Law as an extreme measure, and
under the present circumstances we
do not recommend its passage. But
we would urge all nlliancemen to pay
as far as they are able on their pres
ent indebtedness, and then respect
fully ask their creditors for further
leniency, that confidence may con
tinue between debtors and creditor.

Rumbles Among Farmers.
A traveler passing through our
country, along the principal highways
may not forth a just conception of
our material wealth. The farmers of
most note are entirely away from the
roads and therefore unnoticed.
But it you want to see corn that
will do your heart good, just go down
into Polk Thompson’s bottoms.
When Polk bought the old Brewer
farm thirteen years ago ii had grown
up in weeds and briars, and the bot
toms were overflowed by water. But
he went to work to drain and clean
them up. He took the rocks lying so
plentifully on the hillsides and built
dams across the bottoms. Every rise
in the stream left its deposit of rich
soil against these dams, and in this
way all the low places are filled and
are now very rich, and in many places
will produce from 60 to 100 bushels
of good corn per acre.
The late Act of the Georgia legis
lature requiring farmers to clean out
the streams of the county and remove
all obstructions will be of incalculable
benefit. It may be hard on them for
a year or two, but when the streams
are once thoroughly cleaned out and
the water allowed to escape, the
batiks of the streams will become
higher and thousands of valuable
lands now lying idle wiil be reclaimed
and put in cultivation. The health
o. the country, too, will doubtless he
improved.
Bud Mize is one of our most sue
cessfttl farmers. He has made an
ample living at home and is rapidly
increasing his store of worldly goods.
His crop of corn and cotton is as good
as could be desired.
Jesse White is another successful
farmer, and so is Jas. A. Poterfield.
They raise plenty of hog and hominy
at home.
If you want to see prosperity turn
your face northward from the public
square, and take a trip along up the
Hudson river. Go by Mack Furr’s
and look at his immense pasture a) id
the drove of young horses and mules
kicking their heels in the air. You
will also find as fine corn as there is
to be found in the country.
Going still further Van Chambers
and David Sixties can show as fine
crops as there is to be seen in North
east Georgia.
John Chambers lias for several
years past been turning his attention
to stock raising as well as farming.
He has made a grand success, and
few men have made better headway.
Higher up still you come to Reuben
Bolling, J. A. Thomoson and the
Jordan boys. Looking down from
the road upon these farms, the vast
fields of corn look like thunder clouds
in the distance
There are many others I would
like to mention, but space forbids.
In my next I shall notice others who
are so nobly battling with the prob
lems of our time by paying strict at
tention to fanning.
It is cheering to look at the pros.-
pect. Surely hard times arc begin
ning to leave our land. Western corn
at a dollar per bushel will soon he a
thing of the past if our people con
tinue to plant aud raise it at home.
Home-made bacon too, will make the
trying pan smell as of the properous
days of yore. V.IJ.L.
Where Woman's Intuition Counts.
In many branches of the treasury
service women have arisen to the profi
ciency of experts. This is especially
true as to the office of the treasurer of
the United States, where the most ex
pert, rapid and accurate counters of
mutilated currency and detectors of
counterfeit money are women. A
woman detected tlm first counterfeit
SIOO bill of a very dangerous issue.
When called upon to explain why she
thought it was counterfeit her answer
was, “I knew it was.”
It took a day or two for the en
gravers and cashiers to make a detailed
explanation, so that bank officials
could understand the reason. How
ever, it was discovered that these same
cashiers and bank officials had received
a good many of the biils, while the
woman had detected that they were
