The revival of wheat culture in
Georgia has already assumed sndh
proportions that an era in the agri
cultural history of this state will
d ite from the beginning of this
movement. Along with the im
mense peach crop that is now be
ing pot npon the market, another
of the most-talked about subjects
pf the day is the largest wheat
crop that has ever been known iu
the state, and especially the third
annual convention of the Wheat
Growers Association of Georgia.
While talking on this subject to
a Telegraph reporter, Mr. Theo
Ellis, secretary of the Wheat
Growers’ Association, and a man
who is taking an active and effect
ive interest in wheat culture and
the geueral advancement of the
country, made a suggestion which
is here given for the consideration
of everyone interested in the pros
perity and upbuilding of the state.
Mr. Ellis’ plan looks specifically
to the advertising of the wheat
lands of central Georgia, and con
sequently to the enhancing of their
value.
Iu discussing the subject, Mr.
Ellis said:
“On July 12th next, 12m., there
will convene at Macon the third
convention of wheat growers. There
will be a large display of all the
latest improved labor saving,'grain-
growing and harvesting machines.
At this especial date there wili be
collected in central Georgian large
number of strangers who will have
come representing purchasers,
transportation lines, nurserymen,
date factories and sight-seers in
terested iu the mammoth peach
crop. Now, for example, if Jones
county will have drawn up in fcont
of the convention hall a half doz
en or more fine teams drawing
heavy loads of wheat sacked and
ready for the market, it will be a
fine advertisement of her lands.
Now, if Jasper, Pike, Monroe,
Crawford; Butts. Baldwin, Wilkin
son, Washington, Hancock, Spald
ing, Talbot, Upson, Twiggs, Dooly
and Houston woald each do like
wise, the picture of Mulberry street
packed with wagons laden with
wheat would be carried to far
countries in the advertising n«m
phlets of the Southern and Central
railways. Is it worth the trouble?
Wheat lands sell for $25 and $o0
per acre. There are hundreds of
cash customers for wheat lands
who are educated in the belief that
we can raise only cottoo. Shall
we educate them and enhance the
market value of our lands?’”
A Life And Death Fight. .
Mr. W. A. Hines of Manchester,
la., writing of his almost miracu
lous escape from death, says: “Ex

ous lung trouble, which ended in
Consumption. 1 had frequent hem
orrhages and coughed night and

soil. Please send me two loads of
fertilizer and a new barrer and if
yon could send me a man for a
couple of days I would be obliged.
With this help I knov the garden
stuff will turn out al rite and I will

How to Conduct a Church.
A citizen of Houston requests
the reproduction of the following:
I read so ranch in the different
papers about how Christ would
have ran things if He was on earth,
the following will give yon my idea
how Christ wonld run a church if
He was on earth:
He would drive out all hypo
crites.
He would demolish the places
called churches and built to cater
to the rich only.
He would try to redeem the sin
ner, visit the sick and feed the hun
gry.
He would preach in places where
the poor as well as the rich would
be welcome. „
He would arrange to have it so
that the poor mao’s seat would be
as good as the rich man’s.
He wonld drive oat of the church
all saloon keepers.
He would mind His own busi
ness.
He would leave politics out of
the church.
He would purify the church,
then politics would purify them
selves.
He would have around Him men
of character, and not men known
for their wealth alone.
He would make such changes in
the running of the church that
would make some ministers’ hair
curl.
He would drive out of the church
all lottery and grab games.
He would 'object to ministers
who claim to have faith iu God to
keep them and feed them—and at
the same time demand from S3,000
to $20,000 a year salary.
He would make the church so
that sinners would flock to it, in
stead of going the other way.
He would not say that He had
other engagements when a poor
woman, a member of his chhrch,
sent for him to visit her, a3 I know
to be the case with a certain min
ister in the city. He could not find
time to call on a member of his
cbnrch when she was sick, because
she was poor, bat could visit the
rich in the same neighborhood.”

Variety seem3 to ba the spice of
Indiana politics. Each of the last
seven presidential *elnctions wit
nessed the swinging of the hoosier
commonwealth oat of one column
and into another. The record is
as follows;
Majority.
1872 —Grant, Republican ... .25,515
1876—Tilden, Democrat.... .5,615
1880 —Garfield, Republican.. 5,641
1884—Cleveland, Democrat.6,512
1888—Harrison, Repnblicad.2,348
1892—Cleveland, Democrat. 7,127
X896—McKinley* Republ’o. 18,181
But all this implies neither fri
volity nor fickleness. It simply
means that the couditibns are fa
vorable in Indiana for the exist
ence of a large independent vote.
There is no negro quPBtiop", for in
stance, to keep men bound hand
and foot to any particular party,
and the people are free to consid
er and divide on new and living
issues as they are brought forward.
The Democrats are naturally
hoping that Indiana will swiDg
their way again this y-eaij, and the
widespread hoosier distaste for the
Republican Porto Rican policy,
disapproval of President. McKin
ley’s check to civil service reform,
and disgust over the Caban post-
office scandal, are looked npou as
encouraging. But on the other
hand, Indiana is a sound money
state and, according to the chair
man of the state Democratic com
mittee, a platform with free silver
as the leading issue would lose the
party ten votes for every one that
it would gain. He is a.bo!d proph-
etwho would state positively wheth
er Indiana will or will not change
politically this year.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by iocal applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
cansed by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustach
ian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed deafness is the
result,and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re
stored to its normal condition,hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

The Good Samaritan Society of
Symrna Baptist Church (colored)
of Houston county met on the 12th
day of May for the purpose of dec
orating the graves of its deceased
members;
The Society collecting in the
church,the female members march
ed down to the cemetery and placed
flowers on eaeh grave, which had
been cleaned off by the male mem
bers. The flowers were scarce, bat
the tact with which the sisters
spread them made them look plen
tiful, while the snrronnding beauty
nature had shed made the scene
more impressive.
The sisters having retarned to
the church, onr loving and instrnc-.
tive president, Rev. S. Johnson,
commanded the assistant chief
commander, A. Simons, to have
the body form line in double file,
and, placing the president add oth
er chief officers in front, the socie
ty, which consists of about 101
members, began , to march, singing
an appropriate song, and contin
ued singing until the graves had
been once marched aronnd, halt
ing st the south end of tbeiios of
graves.
Rev. S Johnson read the 90th
Psalm, and offered a very feeling
prayer in behalf of the audience.
He then introduced Rev. S. Gunn,
who mastered the ceremonies with
some well directed words. Ail
seemed to enjoy it.
The members then reassembled
in the church and performed their
regnlar monthly business. The
snm of $13 65 was raised from an
average of 91 membeis for one
month. *
The doors of tli8 society now
stand ajar for membership At half
fee, $1.25. This offer stands -for
two months.
We shall publish a piece soon ltd
the doctors who treat onr members.
