Ami still King Cotton reigns.
Georgia ns a whole lias missed the
sutumn storms and is making cotton.
Tho state fair commence • next week
in Macon and Baldwin county will be
there.
Planting oats is like building a bul
wark around the home. Farmers
should begin the work ut once.
Despite the fact that cotton is over
lit cants it will lake plenty of home sup
plies to keen tho farmers on easy street.
I’lant winter crops.
Digging sweet potatoes will soon be in
order. And then comes the possum.
And think of prosperity tlirowed in
with it all, too.
It makes one tired to rend this watcl

The father of the late Benoit Con

was a baker, aud young Coquelin was
brought up to the trade. At thirteen,
a w riter in I,u Figaro says, he mani

the stage, and inclinaticn which his
fathersteailfastly strove to repress.
"Don't devote so much time to tnose

Suppose evry man in Milledgeville

There is always two tales to he told

or kept secret from the world ami no

pathos, needful of human sympathy ns
the most pathetic story ever made
public. Herein Mille Igoville there is
a public service corporation -no matter
width one that has caused unending
comment and harsh criticism has been
showered upon the company.
We will not defend the company. We
know thut they are expected to show
the greatest good to the greatest num
ber. But, ah, the story of the other
side. Some of the employes are said
to be incompetent, but there is a reason
why ih) force is not up to its standard.
It is not so much the will of the man

It would be nothing jhort of harshness
to change, for what is earned must go

Yet the world never cares. The ser

but soon as possible we shall strive to
throw some light on other reasons.

So great is the demand for teachers
of agriculture and allied industrial
subjects that the University of Min
nesota had lately followed ths example
of some other colleges, and established
a school for the special training of those
who desire to engage in the work. A
bulletin issued bv the university an-
r i.inces that young men with high-schoi *
education, who have alse had pratical
experience on a farm, are especially
fitted for entering the new profession.
Every new machine, every new pro
cess, every new plan or scheme or
system or principle, is a tool in the
hands of the man who can use it.
Every original thought or device is
material for the business building of
tomorrow.
