If Georgia yams could be sold
in Northern markets, our farmers
would have another lever to lift
them above the uncertain depen
dence upon cotton as a money
crop.
A correspondent writes from Ev-
erette Station, Taylor county, that
a, majority of the farmers of that
section will not increase their acre
age'in cotton, though some will
continue the all-cotton system.
Brooks county farmers made
large crops of hay, and many of
them sold profitably in car-load
and ton lots. The expenses of this
crop are light, and the demand for
Georgia hay increases as the mer
its of the product become more
extensively known.

Mrs. Avy Glover died at the home
of her nephew, Mr. T. H. Brown, on
the 7th inst. Mrs. Glover was the
widow of the late Mr. John Glover
of this county, and a sister of Mr.
N. B. Head, deceased. She was in
her seventy-third year, and had
lived in tbiB part of the county the
greater portion of her life. She
was a consistent membEr of the
Missionary Baptist Church, and it
has been said of her that she was
never known to have said or done
anything that her church or the
Word of God forbid. In her meek
and humble way she was continu
ally exerting an influence for good.
She now rests from her labors, and
her good works will follow her.
We are glad that some of the
good people of our county live and
die in the 6th district. The hallow
ed JnfiuencB of their lives,and their
deaths, we trust has and will con

They are indeed the salt of the

but rejoice that they have lived

again in the sweet by and by.

This is the time when the cotton
planter must make his decision as
to the acreage he will give to the
crop of 1900-01. Upon his decis
ion within the next few weeks rests
the answer to the question wheth
er cotton will bring 9 cents or
cents next fall and winter. If ev
ery planter in the cotton belt de-
termines that he will make his own
corn and bay and hogs, and that
only the balance of the land he can
comfortably cultivate shall go into
cotton, the higher figure will pre
vail. If on the other hand, he is
tempted by the present price of the
staple and returns to the all cotton
method of the past,he can make up
bis mind to sell his crop at 5 cents
or less. Which will it be?—Macon
Telegraph.
A Fort Valley correspondent of
the Macon Telegraph says: “Con
siderable acreage will be devoted
to track farming in this immediate
vicinity this season. Last y6ar
several parties ergaged in it on a
small scale and found it so remu
nerative that they will go into it on
a larger scale.”

Editor E. T. ByiDgton of Miami,
Florida, thinks Georgians can
make much profit by planting to
matoes for shipment to northern
markets. His paper says all avail
able laborers earned $1.00 a day
in Miami last week packing toma
toes. Field grown plants can be
procured in Florida as soon as they
can be set out in Georgia.
All the cotton in the -varehouses
at Oglethorpe were sold about ten
days ago at 8J cents a pound, and
of the transaction a correspondent
says: “The bulk of this cotton was
owned by farmers who had some
Money advanced by the banks, but
a greater part of it goes into the
hands of the honest tiller of the
soil. Just to think of $30,000 be
ing turned loose in a Georgia town
in February! It is certainly some
thing new under the sun, and all
the result of a little economy and
home living among the farmers.”
A Telegraph correspondent at
Everett Station writes: “The or
chards in this section now contain
over twenty thousand peach and
plum trees. This section is the
center of the greatest ‘ peach and
plum orchards in the world. Mar

of us, Fort Valley east about the

prospect continues as good as it is

E. B. Muuday, a lawyer of Hen

digger. He says: “My brol her was

ranch better, but continued their
use until he was wholly cured. I
am sure Electric Bitters saved his
life.” This remedy expels malar

Does It Pay To Buy Cheap?
A cheap remedy for coughs and
colds is all right, but you want
something that will relieve and
cure the more severe and danger
ous results of throat and lung trou
bles. What shall you do? Goto
a warmer and more regular cli
mate? Yes, if possible; if not pos
sible for you, then in either case
take the ONLYjremedy that has been
introduced in all civilized conn,
tries with success m severe throat

stimulates the tissues to destroy
the germ disease, but allays infla-
mation, causes easy expectoration,
gives a good 1 night’s rest, and cures
the patient. Try ONE bottle. Rec

Concerning crop acreage in Lin

ed: “There is a larger area sown

As to the acreage in cotton, all in

minished.”

France has suddenly awakened
to the fact that Great Britain has
practically a monopoly of the ocean
cables and can hold or transmit
messages at her will. In the event
of war between France and any oth
er country in which cables would
cut a figure, the British would have
control of the wires and exercise
their own pleasure respecting com
munications. In view of the facts,
it is probable that France will do
considerable cable laying within
the next few years.

Jesus Rejected.at.Nazareth
—Luke 4:16—30.
Golden Text.—“He came nnto
His own and His own received Him
not,”—John 1: 11.
Jesus-came -to Nazareth, where
He had been brought up:- and He
entered, as His custom was, into
the synagogue on the Sabbath day,
and stood np to read. And there
was delivered unto Him the Book
of the prophet Isaiah. And He
opened the Book ahd found the
place where it is written, “The
Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, be
cause He hath annoiuted Me to
preach good tidings to the poor:
He hath sent Me to proclaim re
lease to. the captives, and recover
ing of sight to the blind, to set at
liberty them that are bruised, to
proclaim the. acceptable year of
the Lord.”
And He closed the Book, and
gave it back to the attendant, and
sat down: and'the eyes of all iu
the synagogue were fastened on
Him. And He began to say unto
them, “To-day hath this Scripture
been fulfilled in your ears.” And
all bare Him witness, and wonder
ed at the words of grace which pro
ceeded out of his month: “and
they said, “Is not this Joseph’
son?”
And He said unto them, “Doubt
less ye will say unto Me this para
ble, Physician, heal thyself: what
soever wehave heard done at Caper
naum, do also here in Thine own
country.” And He said, “Verily
I say unto yoa, No prophet is ac
ceptable in His own country. But
of a truth Isay unto you, There
were many widows id Israel in the
days of Elijah, when the heaven
was shut ud three years aod six
months, when there came a great
famine over all the land; and unto
none of them was Elijah sent, but
only to Zarephath, in the land of
Sidon, unto a woman that was
widow. And there were many lep
er8 in Israel in the time of Elisha
the prophet; and none of them was
cleansed, but only Naaman the
Syrian.”
And they were all filled with
wrath in the synagogue, as they
heard these thing; and they rose
np, and cast Him forth out of the
city, and led Him unto the brow of
the hill whereon their city was
built, that they might throw Him
down headlong. But He passing
through the midst of them went
His way;
When He came again into Gali
lee, the Galileans received Him,
having seen all the things that He
did in Jerusalem at the feast: for
they weut also unto the feast. He
came therefore again unto Gana of
Galilee, where He made the water
wine. And there was a certain no
bleman, whose son was sick at Ca
pernaum. When he heard that Je
sus was come out of Judea into
Galilee, he went unto Him and
besought Him that He would coma
down and heal his sod; for he was
at the point of death.
Then said Jesus unto him, “Ex
cept ye see signs and wonders, ye
will in no wise believe.” The no
bleman said unto Him, “Sir come
down ere my child die.” Jesus
said unto him, “Go thy way, thy
son liveth.” The man believed the
word that Jesns spake nnto him,
and he went his way. And as he
was now going down,. Mb servants
met him, saying that his son lived.
So he inquired of them the hour
when he began to mend. They
said therefore nnto him, “Yester
day at the seventh hour the fever
left him.” So the father knew that
it was at that hour in which Jesus
said nnto him, “Thy son liveth,
and himself believed, and his
whole house.

it will be of interest for Georgia
farmers to note the annual investi
gation by the American Agricultu
rist into the approximate numbers
and values of live stock upon the
farms of the United; States, as
brought oat in its report of Febru
ary 3, which shows a .further pro
nounced advance in this important
industry. Returns indicate not on
ly farther substantial improvement
compared with the past three years,
but the highest aggregate valuation
ever reported. Daring 1899 the up
ward tendency broadened and deep
ened, and the present report shows
a valuation of all classes of farm
animals of $2,658,000,000. This is
the highest record ever made, and
an increase in this form of farm
wealth" of 15* per cent, during the
year. Among the interesting facts
brought out in the report, it is
shown that for the first time since
the general improvement began ev
ery class of live stock shares in the
improvement both iu the average
value per head and total value of
the class. The highest valuation of
live stock od the farm previously
reported, says the American Agri
culturist, was id 1889,-when it ag
gregated $2,507,000,000. This val
uation was reasonably uniform un
til 1892, when, the depression be
gan. In four years, or by January
1, 1896, the shrinkage in this form
of wealth was about 25 per cent.,
the total valuation at that date be
ing only $1,860,000,000. From then
to the present year the .upward
trend has been pronounced, as
shown above. Daring the past
year there haB been an advance in
the average price per head of
horses on farms of 12. per- cent.;
milch cows, 10 per cent.; other eat
tie, 19 per cent.; sheep, 8 per cent.,
and hogs 19 per cent. In the pres
ent upward swing only cattle other
than milch cows and sheep have
passed the best previous record of
price per head. Milch cows have
not yet quite equaled it. Horses
and mules are stitl far below their
best.record, and hogs can yet ad
vance materially without reaching
the previous record.
It will be seen that hogs have
advanced in one year 19 1 per cent
being a greater advance, than
any other live stock. This is par
ticularly interesting, for the reason
that cattle and hogs are better
adapted to Georgia farms and
meadows than any other stock.
There seems to be no good reason
why there should not be a great
revival in this line of endeavor on
the farms of onr Btate.
