Wmm w% JTOHIY H. HODGES, Pr °pr. DEVOTED TO HOME INTERESTS, PROGRESS AND CULTURE. #1.60 a Year in Advance. m VOL. XXX. PERRY, HOUSTON COUNTY, GA., THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1901. NO. 23. A Successful Georgia Farmer. Atlanta Constitution. Editor Constitution—The Consti tution is doing good work for Geor gia in calling attention to its agricul tural resources. There are, of course, hundreds of instances where Georgia farmers are making wonderful rec ords, and all of which cannot be treated by your special men. One of these, and they are scattered about all over the state, is the dairy farm of Hon. R W. Weatherly of Dalton. This farm is in the Upper end of the county, consisting of 600 acres,about half of which is being tilled. Mr. Weatherly breeds his own “muley”- headed Jerseys, “culls out” the * off” ones, thus keeping the milking strain up to its full and most profitable limit. Each year finds r from a half to a dozen additional milkers, all bred and trained from calfhood to their business. He is now milking thirty- four cows. The cream is separated from the milk and sent to Chatta nooga by daily express, where it is sold for 65 cents per gallon. The “skim” milk is fed the young calves until they are fit to pasture and ei ther sold for beef or kept for the dairy. The cows are all pets and gentle as house cats. The ugly-dis posed ones are banished to the slaughter pen, for gentleness is a prerequisite in this business. Hr. Weatherly informs me that clear of all expenses he is netting $1,500 per annum, and the profit growing an nually as the new ones “come in.” There are other items of profit not included in the above sum, such as wheat, the straw only being charged to the dairy account. There are two silo towers of 1,000 and one of 1,500 tons capacity, which stand at the side of the milking house. A cutter with a carrier takes up the finely chopped green com, stalks and blades, and dumps it into the tower or pit, and here it is pickled for fu ture use. Of course neatness, kind ness and promptness is the inviolable rule. Mr. Weatherly has several thousand Elberta and Lady Ingold peach trees that will be old enough to bear next year. He is a drummer for a Nashville house, has a lovely home here and is one of the tVro re publican members of the Dalton city council, and numbers his friends by the limit of his acquaintance. May 17 th is the anniversary of his birth, and a large number of his friends annually gather at this farm, where a big picnic is held, when the pick from his large strawberry patches is furnished in proflgate abundance and the tables are literally decorated with the little red globes so palatable to the Cincinnati breakfaster, where they are daily served. Gallons of pure cream are furnished, and the east Tennesseeans vie with the north Georgians in the annual enjoyment, and it is here that the good lady from the “volunteer state” matches her home-raised turkey and chicken with the apple jelly and layer cake of her sister across the line in the “cracker'state,” and when the boys and girls of four generations get around these mammoth tables the warfare of Epicurus begins in earn est and is always a draw as to victo ry, but the name of Watt Weatherly fixture in this section of east Tennessee. Fbane. T. Reynolds, ■ Editor Dalton (Ga.) Citizen. Stoneville, Mo., May 5th, 1900. Gentlemen—I have been troubled with indigestion and constipation for the last two years, and have tried ev ery remedy known, but had never re ceived any relief until I was handed a trial bottle of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin through our druggist, J. W.. The Bride at Last Said “Obey.’ In telling about “Some People I Have Married,” in the Ladies’ Home Journal for June, the Rev. D. M. Steele says: “Being an Episcopalian I always use the formal printed ser vice of the Prayer-Book. In this the greatest stickler is ‘obey.’ One day a couple came to me, bringing as witnesses the parents of both bride and groom. Everything proceeded smoothly to the point ‘love, honor and obey,’ when the bride refused to say the last. I repeated it and waited. Again she refused, and I shut up my book. Then there was a scene. They talked it over, and the more seriously they argued and discussed the more stubbornly she refused. The parents became angry, the groom excited, and the bride hysterical. To humor her he joined in the request to have me leave it out. But I liked the fellow and de cided that a little sternness from me in the present might be a favor to him in the future. So I told them I had no authority to change it and would not do so. I tried to show the foolishness of her objection, but it was no use. Finally, I said to him: “Well, this household * must have a head somewhere. I will leave it out for her if you will say it.” Then it was his time to refuse, which he did. He gathered up his hat and started for the door, when, presto change! she sprang after him, led him back by the hand, looked meekly up at him and said it.” Not Properly Coached. Success in Farming. T. C. Karns in Southern Farm Magazine of Bal timore for June. The difference between success and failure is very little at best. One farmer protects his stock from the weather and sa\ es enough in feed to make money. Another feeds in the snow, rain and mud, and loses all his profits. One houses his imple ments and they last for years. An other leaves his scattered in the fields wnerever he finished his work, and they are soon worthless. The one puts all products in fine shape before offering them on the market, and secures a high price. The other does not and charges his loss against capital and corporations. Further details are unnecessary. Anyone can see the difference. The wonder is that some farmers live at all. If farming were not the easiest, safest business in the world they would not.

The editor who had been asked to address the Sunday School came for ward, says the Chicago Tribune. “Children,” he said, “your super intendent has told you that I am considered one of the wealthy men of the country. Whether that is true or not I want to tell you one thing I know absolutely, and that is that riches do not make happiness. They only add to one’s cares. Chil dren, what does make happiness? “Circuses?” shouted one of the ur chins in the infant class. “No, my son,” said the visitor with a frown, “circuses do not make happiness. Being good and obedi ent, mindful of the lessons you team here and faithful to carry them out in your lives, is the only thing that will make you happy. Will some little boy tell me what it is that is said to make one healthy, wealthy and wise?” “Joinin’ a trust!” yelled the six- year-old on the front seat. And the visitor gave it up and took his seat. The children of that Sunday School did not seem to have been well grounded in the rudir ments. $ Very Young Soldiers. One of the most remarkable but least-noticed facts in connection with the war in the Transvaal is the extreme youth of a large part of General DeWet’s army. When hos tilities broke out almost every grown man enlisted, even the enfeebled, but the pace has been too rapid for the venerable burghers. As they were kilted or incapacitated their places have been taken by mere school children, many only thirteen or fourteen years of age. Under the title of “The Youngest Soldiers in the World,” in the June Cosmopoli tan Allen Sangree throws more light on the make-up and life of General De Wet’s commanders than any thing hitherto published.
