Antlxoine Machine Works, J. W. ANTHOINE, Frojfr., FORT VALLEY, GA Cultivation of Cotton. To prepare the land comes first iik. order, which is done by furrowing the rows in widths to suit the Soil— say, if the land will produce eight hundred pounds of seed cotton per acre, run rows three feet apart; if a thousand pounds, three and a half feet apart, and bo on in proportion to strength of land. Then, with turn plow bed out the spaces thus made deep and close, so that no ridges remain unbroken be tween furrows; the finishing furrows should be run the deepest, going well down into the clay. Thus the land is broken. To apply any fertilizer, strew in water-furrow, made by bedding up the land. Any quantity per acre de sired may be used, applying same three or four weeks before planting. After placing fertilizer, form small ridge thereon by running two fur rows, cutting from bed. Do not make fresh furrows, but place fertil izer in old furrow. When planting, run long three- inch plow well down opening fur row for the seed. Cover with small scooters attached to covering board of the planter, so that the row will not be left flat to form a crust pre venting cotton coming up. Thus we have the cotton planted. Cultivation is now in order, which should be done with cultivators— Planet, Jr., Horse Hoe—the best plow in the world for this purpose. Side the ootton first with three 1J inch steels, using same in middles to destroy grass and weeds, and at the same times pulverizing the soil and opening the cells or repositories of plant food from the atmosphere. These small steels break the land deep without throwing an open fur row, as afttr the old plan. As the cdtton grows larger, larger steels may be used—shovels and sweeps. Planting in the-water farrows en ables cultivation to proceed without interferring with the roots of the plants, and the work is more effect ively done by working the soil down instead of up to the cotton, all the time keeping the plants below a lev el to hold the water, and not on a ridge to shed it off into the middle of the rows and out of the field. There is no deception in using cultivators with shovels and sweeps, as there is in using scooters and scrapes. The scrape is a vain de deceiver, in that it covei’s up and hides the damage done by the scoot or that goes before. See, on hard land, where there is not sufficient loose earth to fill up and hide the furrow made by the root-cutter. Yours, R. W. Gamble. Perry, Ga., Aug. 4th, 1902.

I Bears the J Signature r of GroVania Gleanings. - By Joo Betlgo, At the last regular appointment of our pastor, Rev. H. C. Brewton, the m3eting JJat this place was pro tracted several days, and muoh in terest was manifested. It was a very good meeting, and closed with eleven additions to the church. Our farmers had nice weather for saving fodder last week, but to-day points to the contrary. Crops are lopking well in this sec- tiou, and have no complaint to make. The Grovania ginnery is undergo ing repairs and will be in fine trim to cut the fleecy staple and paok in square or round bale shape, as the farmer may prefer. Miss Mattie Miller ot Perry, I am informed, will teach school at thiB place for the ensuing fall term. Miss Mattie is a most excellent teacher, having taught at this place several terms, and has given satisfaction,we think, to all the patrons. MisBes Clyde and Willie Buff of Elko were the guests of Misses Ma ry, Vie and Jessie Winn Riley for several days last week. Miss Mattie Miller of Perry is vis iting friendB in Grovania and vioini- ty. ! MiBs Mary E. Riley is visiting rel atives at Elko.

Woven Steel Wire Does It for Years at a Low Cost, Wanted: A fenoe that will fence and last for years, at a low cost. This was a tong-felt want with far mers, planters and cattlemen in all parts of the country, till the perfec tion ’of the woven steel fenoe known as the Ellwood Steel Wire Fenoe. This filled the long-feet want, and is to-day used frpm the Atlantic to the Pacific for every kind of farm, ranch and plantation fencing. It furnishes protection to crops and holds all kinds of live stock for the longest term of years at the least cost. The Ellwood Fence does fence* It is made of high-grade Bessemer steel, heavily galvanized and praotL cally everlasting. It is woven so ac curately that it stretches evenly and when subjected to any se\ ere strain, as when a heavy man climbs over it or a farm wagon is accidentally backed against it, the tension is evenly distributed and no damage is done. It is a diamond meBh fence, the heavy twisted cable wires being connected by panels which are small near the ground and larger toward the top of the fence. —Slippers going cheap. F. M.

Houser, An Accident and Tragedy. At Fort Valley last Monday , a little boy accidentally shot and killed his little sister, and from the Macon Telegraph we re-pro- duce the following report of the deplorable incident: “By the accidental disoharge.of a shotgun, Marguerite, the 5-year- old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rob ert Flournoy of Fort Valley, was instantly killed. Ohe side of her face and head was 5 torn away. Death wa,s instantaneous. “The gun was held in the hands of Marguerite’s 10-year-old broth er at the time of the fatal explo sion. The little girl’s head was not more .than two feet from the the muzzle. The little brother is named Robert Flournoy, Jr. “Mr. Robert Flournoy is a brother of Mr. J. A. Flournoy of Macon, and he haB a number of other relatives here. He is a con ductor running between Macon and Palatka on the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad. He was on his run when the acci dent occurred. He was telegraph ed for at once. “The members of the family are comfortless over the tragedy, and little Robert is almost crazed with grief. He was especially de voted to his little sister, and at the time of the schooting the lit tle girl was engaged in some child ish amusement, unoonsoious of the presence of danger. Her lit tle brother had decided to clean up the gun, which he supposed to be unloaded. He lifted it from the rack with this purpose in view. There was an explosion, and smoke filled the hallway. The thundering noise ceased and the smoke lifted. The boy stood daz ed. The first sight on whioh his eye rested was that of his little sister lying on the floor within eight feet of him. Blood had spattered about the floor. The little fellow’s agony was pitiable when other members of the house hold reached the scene.” -Death Of Mrs. Corbett. —Another negro was adjudged a lunitic in Houston Court of Or dinary last Monday, the fourih within thirty days—three men and one woman.
