Haralson, Ga., April 14th, 1888.
Hon. W. Y. Atkinson, Newnan, 6hi.—
Dear Sir: We, the undersigned voters
of Coweta county, having observed
closely your course as a member of - the
last Legislature, and believing that
you have faithfully discharged the du
ties incumbent upon you as a member
of that body, and that you have ever
acted for the best interest of your con
stituency, desire to express ourselves as
heartily indorsing your course. Inas
much as many of the important ques
tions which came before the last Gener
al Assembly have not yat been disposed
of, and will therefore come up before
the next session for final action, wo
think it extremely important that the
next Legislature be composed of men
eminently qualified by experience and
ability to deal with the important is
sues that must come up at that session.
We therefore ask that you become a
candidate for re-election, subject to
the action of the Democratic party.

Lucerne--Every Fanner Should Plant
It.
If the farmers of Coweta will pardon
these friendly suggestions and act upon
them, they will some day find cause to
bless such action and thank the adviser.
The increasing uncertainty that at
tends the production of corn and oats
in this climate, calls loudly for some
feed crops that will in a measure sup
ply their places. We all know German
millet will not do it, and we also know
milo maize will not; and even if these
would, they must be planted annually,
and a good crop always leaves the soil
impoverished and hardly fit for use for
a year after.
We do not mean that anything can
take the place of corn aud oats; yet
something must be done to lessen the
cost of stock feed, else farming for
profit is out of the question. Try lu
cerne on a small scale, and I venture
the declaration that no farmer will be
disappointed, and all who prepare well
will he well paid.
Lucerne should be planted in Sep
tember or October, and in order to
have the soil ready by that time, the
preparation should begin in the spring.
Select as rich a spot as you have near
the lot and plant it in peas about the
first week in May, and cultivate the
crop of peas. The speckled pea is pre
ferred, as they will mature by Septem
ber.
The soil should be well fertilized in
September by frequent plowings, and
should the earth be too dry in Septem
ber the next month will do, as late as
the 20tli. By all means have the soil
rich and in good tilth, to insure a good
stand and rapid growth. The size of
t he seed indicates the quantity to be
used, and the manner of planting is
about as would obtain in the planting
of turnips when sown broadcast.
If the winter and spring be as favor
able as the past winter and present sea
son, cutting and feeding can be
gin about the middle of April.
Lucerne should be fed green, and
the cutting should be done sys
tematically;—e. g., begin at a given
place and skip none; and when the
patch is cut over, the place of begin
ning will be ready for the blade again.
Many years ago the father of the
writer seeded two acres with lucerne.
The plat of ground was exceedingly
rich and adjoined the horse lot in which
ten mules were fed. Two hundred
pounds were fed to these ten mules ev
ery evening, and at least five more
could have been furnished, so rapid
vras the growth. My father claimed
that these two acres were worth at
least- one hundred bushels of corn and
a half supply of fodder for the ten
mules.
Many plant lucerne for hay, and the
experience of Capt. H. J. Sargent
abundantly justifies a trijil for this pur
pose, for it would not be untrue to say
that Capt. Sargent saved at least two
em tons of hay last season from the acre

green soiling,
time it looked as if “razors would fly in
tlie air.” During the heat of debate on
the vexed question of proxies, one sa
ble brother rose up in his might and
demanded of the chairman if he knew
the meaning of “Ipsy Dixie,” and get
ting a negative answer seemed utterly
humiliated at the idea of his presiding
officer’s ignorance. Curtis Beall wound
up the proceedings with a characteris
tic speech, in which he lammed the
white people and gave his race some
i good advice by telling them to be lion-
' est if they would be prosperous and
respected.
Can Such Things Be?
What is the matter with Mr. Andrew
Carnegie’s employes in Pennsylvania.
It seems that* while lie is writing
books showing the beauties of a pro
tective tariff to the workingman, and
going around to banquets and making
speeches on the same inspiring subject,
to say nothing of the fact that he is
making 81,000,000 a year on his protect
ed steel mills, his laborers are striking
against his proposal to lengthen the
hours of work from eight to twelve, and
to make two gangs do what three have
been doing. , , ,,
Not only is this the case, but these
same “highly paid” workingmen of
Mr. Carnegie’s are organizing free
trade clubs—not tariff reform clubs,
but out-and-out free trade clubs. Their
free trade club at Braddock, Pennsyl
vania, already numbers one hundred oi
Mr. Carnegie’s employes, and now
there is a dispatch from the same place
that a call is out, signed by a large
number of the Carnegie men, for a free
trade demonstration, the call saying,
among other things of similar import,
that the signers are no longer willing

There are a great many things lost that
are found again, and a great many
things that are lost and never found.
There are deputations lost which can
not be gained; there are hopes lost,
which come not back again; there are
joys and friendships lost; there are
thoughts and talents lost which are
never found. Every man has at some
time lost something, which he would
give the world, if it were his, to recover.
It may have been but a single pearl
from the thread of friendship, or a mere
hope of his soul, but it was previously
dear to him, and life is sad and dark
without it. The smallest things are
oftentimes the dearest to the heart of
man, as for instance a little wife, a lit
tle heir, a-little fortune, a little home.
What wonder, then, that when tbew
are lost he would give everythin £ he
had for their recovery.
The Dairy World learned that sever
al members of a family were made
sick by drinking the milk from a young
cow. An investigation was made by
that paper with the following result :
“In the correspondence we drew out
the fact that- the cow was rath
er a wild one and had been driven
from the auction on a fast run, and
that before she had cooled off the
milk had been drawn, with the re
sults as above stated. We have time
and again warned our readers that milk
taken from a frightened or heated cow
is unfit for use, aud sickness m some
form or other is almost sure to follow
its use.
Every now and then the lamp needs
a thorough cleansing. The oil should
be carefully emptied away, so as not to
leave any dregs in the bottom. This
can be put into a bottle and kept
for cleaning. When the lamp has been
washed the other oil can be pour
ed back again, and added to until the
reservoir is almost full. Before putting
on the glass part that holds the globe
and chimney, this too must be thor
oughly cleaned. The net work that
crosses it must be freed from all impu
rities, and all pieces of charcoal wick
turned out from the edge. It will be
found that the lamp will burn clearly,
giving out a bright white light.
