If the preBeut weather* continues throughout the week ninety per cent of the cotton crop of this section will be picked, ginned and sold. Be it said to the credit of the farmers,they are meeting their obli gations well considering the Bhort cotton crop. ' The pext thing in order will be the grain crop, which will be a large one. By sad experience most farm ers have learned the importance of wheat and oats. With meal selling for a dollar a bushel in October it would seem that there is something wrong with our farming, and every one with whom I have talked seem to realize the importance of food •products. No crop ever fails every time for everybody. Last season some failed to. make oats on account of being killed in the fall,while oth ers who sowed later made good crops. Mr. H. E. Talton, who has probably made more wheat for a number of -years consecutively on the same land,made almost a failure last season, while Mr. J. H. Davis made a very good crop. It won’t do to quit because wheat, oats or corn happen to be a failure. We stick to cotton hit or miss and no crop fails oftener to meet expecta tions. Let us go to raising some thing to eat, “Socks” may not agree with me but I think we can rdise all the ham we need without any cot ton. HOUSES AM MULES Wholesale and Retail.

GEORGE’S: PLACE. CASTORiA For Infantsand Children. In the state election last week Judge John S. Candler was elected to the nnexpired term of Justice of the Supreme court by a majority of about 1,800 votes. Though defeat ed, Judge Ross may be proud of his Vote, he having received a ma jority vote in a large number of counties. Judge Candler had so licited support and received pledges throughout the state before Judge Ross became a candidate. In this defeat there has been no humilia tion. In fact the vote polled does not even carry with it a declara tion of superior fitness. in behalf of the successful candidate. —Invitations have been issued for the marriage next Sunday af ternoon of Mr. Walter Whitehead to Miss Minnie Parker. Mr. Whitehead is a young farmer of near Bonaire,and Miss Parker is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Parker, about three miles north east of Perry, near Spring Hill. Grovania News. ByJoeBedgo, Maj, H. Benson, Secretary and Treasurer of the Grovania Oil and Fertilizer Co., informs me that they have ginned and packed up to Octo ber 3rd 1902, 954 bales of cotton against 521 bales October 4th 1901. While this is no indication of a big cotton crop in our section, yet our farmers have no room to complain, but will say the bulk of the crop is gathered. The doctor’s crop and the preacher’s crop will be slim. The oil factory commenced to grind seed Monday, somewhat earlier than last season, having I suppose a lar ger quantity of seed-on hand. Gath ering of corn, and sowing of grain, I dare say will be in order another week. Mr. Joe Q. Ellis’ house is near completion, and when the finishing touch is applied will be a coflimodi- ous residence. It is said that we are to have a marriage to take place in our town in the near future. This is good news, and a lovely month for the occasion. We regret to note Mr. M. H. Daniel of Hayneville is quite siok. Mrs. C. I. Bass, who has been very sick, was advised to .be treated by a surgical operatipn, and was ac companied by her physician, Dr. E. C. Brown of Hawkinsville, to Ma con a few days ago for treatment. There wasjquite an uproar oc curred at the negro church near Hayneville Sunday. An election was held for their pastor, allowing sis ters and all to vote, whereupon a dispute arose over the vote, knives, and pistols, clubs, etc., were in order: nobody much hurt. I am courting or attending court a little, and must dose. Will give you more fully in next.

Last school year the Eduoal 'O ml board of Moscogee county transport ed pupils to school from section,, where it was deemed inadvisable to establish a school, and the same plan will again be adopted, It is the purpose of the board to make the schools larger and better rather than increase the number.
