Don’t Depend Entirely On Cotton. 1
Houston farmers have learned
by personal experience that they
cannot secure profit if they pro
duce cotton with which to buy
oorn, meat,or any other farm pro
duct needed.
They have also learned that
they can sell many things that a
few years ago they thought were
unsalable at profitable prices.
Recently hay by the carload,
meat by the wagon load, cows by
the drove, syrup in barrels, corn
and peas in large quantities have
been sold in Macon and other cit
ies at profitable prices.
Having learned these things,
Houston farmers have profited
and will continue so to do by
means of this experience.
Just now it seems that circum
stances and conditions are con
spiring to curtail the cotton acre
age and increase the provision
and provender crops. At any
rate, our farmers are determined
that there shall be plentiful crops
of all products needed on the
farm, and some to sell, if their
efforts and the seasons can be sat-

Recently Sheriff M. L. Cooper
lost a horse under peculiar cir
cumstances. The horse was a sor
rel 1 named ‘‘Hearts,” and exceed
ingly troublesome to drive. About
two weeks ago Deputy Sheriff Ri
ley left Perry with a double team,
this horse one of them, About
five miles out of town the horse
became unable to go except in a
slow walk, and Mr. Riley ex-
changeed him for a horse belong
ing to a farmer. Returning that
evening Mr. Riley hitched up
Hearts and drove homeward,
though the horso was sluggish.
About opposite Mr. E. L. Den-
nard’s home, the horse began
stumbling,, and finally fell. Up
on examination it was found that
the leaders just above each front
hoof were broken, and the small
bones in one ankel broken. An
effort was made to cure him, but
he managed to get out of the
swing in which he. had been plac
ed, and the additional injury was
so severe that he was killed. What
was the matter with the horse?
Some say it was ‘‘Big-head.”
—Mr. J. K. Wilson, recently
of Greenwood, S. O., is now a cit
izen of Perry, and will move his
family here about March 1st. He
is a courteous gentleman, an ex
perience undertaker, and is in
business with Mr. F. C. Day,
whose store in the Masonic build
ing contains a choice stock of fur
niture, sewing machines and bur
ial goods.
The *Spinters Club met with
the Misses Cooper oh Friday af
ternoon of last week, and in spite
of the light down-fall of rain, the
Club was fairly attended. Busi
ness being rapidly dispensed with,
time was given to social pleasure.
The delightful game, “A Musical
Romance” was introduced, Miss
Kathryne Martin occupying a seat
at the piano.
The first question, “Who is the
heroine?” was answered at the
piano by. a few strains of Sweet
Marie, each guest with pencil and
paper writing it down. Then as
other questions were rapidly an
swered at the piano, with strains
of familiar, music the young la
dies were forced to be wide awake
to keep up. When “Lucky Jim”
and “Sweet Marie” were happily
married and settled in‘America,”
the papers wore taken up and
Misses Lula Houser and Nell Nor
wood, who must have written in
short-liand, were found to have
tied. A drawing of straws gave
the prize to Miss Lula House. A
salad course with hot coffee were
most enjoyable refreshments for a
rainy afternoon. Club Editor.
