HOMER, GA.. NOV. 12, 1896 A company has bought a ne w spa per outfit and ts.ll start up a paper at Baldwin in a few darn. The legislatßi c has made a busi ness-like start and we hope to nco it continue to the end. We have added The Augusta News to our exchange list the past wjsek. The News is a newspaper being in its lint year. It is a bright, clean, newsy. Democratic paper and we welcome it to our table. In the federal court at Atlanta Monday .1.

It is said that 1100,000 bushels of wheat are exported dailev froth Chi cago. It will not take many months to exhaust the supply and flour will undoubtedly advance. With a small cotton crop, a low price and the gold standard, our people may expect hard times next summer. An exchange lets up on poltiics long enough t cull attnation to the following : ‘-About a year ago a young lady at Oeve’a-id Tetn.j got a needle imbeded in her waist. A few days ago. it issu'd, the same needle worked its way out of the arm of a young man in another town. —Acworth Post. McKinley is elected and we have just as good a President as aay body. It remains to ho seen whether their promises ot good times will Come to pass or not- We were promised ten cent cotton if ho was elected and we sincerely hope they will carry out their promises. Two or tlireo more elections and perhaps our people may take a much needed political rest. The Supreme Court Judges will be elected in De cember and Justices of the Peace and Bailiffs in January and, if Atkin nn is elect pil to Ihe United Suites Senate, a Governor's election will take place about May. We are opposed to this last election anil hope .our legis lature win prevent it. We believe there are more men than one qualified l* fill this office and Atkinson can content himself in the Governor’s chair. A Funny Joke. A funny joke, all the more palata ble as its truth can be vouched for, occurred in a prominent church in Indiana. It leenis that a worthy old lady had been very iudnstrious in sell ing anew church book, costing awn tv five cents At the service in question, the minister, just before dismissing thu congregation, rose aud said, “All ye who have children to baptize will please present them pert Sabbath.’ The old lady, who, by the w ay. was a httle de2 r , having an eye on seboig the books, and suppowng t'lo pastor was refrring to them, immediately j inped up and shouted. “All vou who haven’t, eau get as many as you want by cal’ "gomi'e at leveutvtive tents uach.” That Tired Feeling Makers you seem “alt broken up,” with out life, ambition, energy or appetite* • It is often the forerunner of serious ill ness, or the accompaniment of nervous troubles. It is a positive proof of thin, weak, impure blood; for, if the blood is rich, red, vitalized and vigorous, it im parts life and energy to every nerve, organ and tissue of the body. The necessity of taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla lor that tired feeling is therefore apparent to every one, and the good it will do you is equally beyond question.

Now, Mr. Editor, I would not ask you to punt the whole thing over again just to sat sty the Dr., but will say to any wanting further informa don that .Mr. Cox, who was editor fa tl a‘ time, will say ho saw the report ns T gave it. Ido not blame the Doc lor for fighting the record. It is a tough bit f Democratic literature to have to meet, nevertheless it is true lie disputed my 7 per cent bonds at first. I see some otic* has told him there was. 1 think a few more replies from him find he will acknowledge the the whole thing. He has given up the public-school system I suppose, as be did not mention it. Now, Mr. Editor, there is no use for me, when I have the record before iru*. to he wrangling with a man when lie disputes his own record; so this will be. the last, I think, to Dr. Lock hart as lie will not submit to facts. lie says 1 Charge a great deal of rascality.

Now as to the state sea!— who would have picked it up in the road? No one could use it except the the state. That, in mr opinion was only a pretense to get the money; for if it had been paid back, tho historian who said he brought the seal could easily have said ho brought the money with it. Is it not reasonable? lie says as soon as civil govern ment was restored, liukins and June settled wuh Bulloch. Now listen t" what Gov. Bulloch says about- it.. “Jenkins or Jones never made any settlement with thu Republican state administniti n I reft rned the seal lo Gov. Smith and a Democratic Legis lature, and Jinkins was beyond the jurisdiction of the state." After he went imio office he i>,J: “I have ntver been informed or seen imv record that either Jinkius-or Jones ever made any statement of funds in their band When Gin. Rug.-ir was appointed Governor his Treasurer reported ten cviiis in the treasury, which was over looked by the absconded officers Jones was 10-el cted by the Democrats, and the fact was male known that he was largely short during that term and his housincn paid it large sum to the state in settlement ot lbs ease He was never ptnhdiad by ihe I)i n ocruiic admiti'M -ation.” From the Unit* the Stale Road was coniDletcd until the Repub'icati look charge u cost the tax payeivs a million and a half dollars more for its expense than its earnings paid into the ueax ttry.

The fact that the road belongs to the state at all is due to the Republicans The rate of taxes were less during the Republican administration than it has ever been since, and not near the amount, of property to be taxed.

Question.—Why is it that in Georgia, many parts of which state are pecu liarly adapted to sheepraisin?, there are so few sheep raised? One would suppose that if properly managed it could be made a most profitable business. Answkh. —ln southern Georgia there are a good many sheep raised. Several years ago one of the largest sheep own ers there reported that Ire clipped an nually 00 cents worth of wool from c heep, which cost him only 11 cents a tiead in expenses There is only one reason why sheep husbandry is not one of the leading industries of the state, and that is, there is no law for their protection again-t tho dogs which roam at will through tho country. It has been said by men of experience that one aero well godded in Bermuda grass will support five sheep nine months of each year. This was on ordinary land, which had not. yielded profitable returns in other crops. For the remaining threo months we have other crops, such as rye, turnips, bujey, p itatoes and the hardy native grasses, all of which can bo grown in abundance. The sheep more than pay for their keep in tho increased fertility of land on which t hey are folded. One hundred sheep regularly folded will fertilise eight acres of land to such a degroo as will enable it to double the crops produ- od on it. Besides the added value to the lands in tlitf droppings wo have the crop of wool and the in reuse of tho flock, which last may lie reasona bly calculated ns Oil per cent of the whole. Nor nro these all. The charac ter of tho crops required to support the slice]) are just tin.so needed to recuper ate our too often exhausted lands. B ;r --muvla is particularly adapted to these lands and the grass roots serve to hold the rc;l together and provent the w-sit ing away, of the accumulating vegeta ble matter Many worn fields could be thus rehabilitated, that now offer no encouragement to cultivation iu other crops. We trust the day will dawn when the present difficulties in tho way of suecessful sheep raising will be re moved, and instead of about 51X1,000, tho present number of sheep in the state, Georgia wiil contain at least 8,000,000 or 4.000,000. Our mild winters and early springs give ns many advantages, of which growers north of us are do prive l. In sumo sections of tho state tho sheep receive no attention beyond tho annual clipping, and until the price of wool was so much reduced they wore ovon under this currle.- management found profitable, if more attention wore given to raising crops for them, to improving the breeds, and to tho gen eral care of tho flocks, there is no rea son, except tho one mentioned, why sheep raising should l'.ot be made profit able in our section. An experienced sheep raiser in Southeastern Georgia once said to me, that it was cheaper in that section to raise a sheep than a chicken, because tho chickens had to be fed, while the only attention the sheep received was an occasional salting.— State Agiieuitural Ib-purtmout.

Tho third year two other small teeth are sh -d. one on each side of the two center be th, and they are replaced by two large teeth; thus giving them four large teeth in front, on each side of which are two small, pointed ones. In the fourth year, this process is re peated, the animal then having six large teeth in front, flanked on each side by one small tooth. In the fifth the last of the small teeth are lost, and are replaced by large ones, thus giving them eight large front teeth. In the sixth or seventh year, they- generally begin to drop out, and if not they will begin to break or show signs of wearing,— State Agricultural Department.
