A Lesson For Farmers.
»Iu the October number of the
Southern"Cultivator the editor
leads with , an article concerning
“A lesson from the Seasons.”
From this article we reproduce a
part, which'is applicable to Hous
ton farmers, as well as to others:
“The cotton crop has been cut
short because the supply of water
was not sufficient to withstand
the excessive heat. Everything
ha* emphasized the necessity of an
abundant water-supply in order
to insure a good crop, It is sim
ply impossible to make a large
crop without a large supply of wa
ter. But with plenty of water
we can.
' ‘‘Then it becomes^Question of
great importance to know if we
can do anything to. help make
’sure of this water-supply. We
iare sure we can. Amidst all the
jdisasters of this year, we find here
'and there a good crop. When we
examine into the reasons for these
'exceptions we always find that
the land was well broken last fall.
This made it possible for the win
ter rains to sink into the soil. It
also enabled this same water to
come back in the 'fiotT and" dry
weather just when the crops most
needed it. y •
“The lesson every farraecehould:
get from this is that if he expects
to succeed, he must begin now
and break his soil deep, ready
for the next ceop.
“Another lesson is the wisdom
of sowing large grain crops this
fall, Everything to live upon will
be high this winter. Then plant
everything that man or beast can
live upon, that will grow in win
ter. Fortunately, there are sev
eral of these crops which will grow
in the South.”
.^] le8 ^ a y of Ia$t wlek, October
14th, Edith Nannette, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. ^as. A, Smith of
near Wellston, died in Macon at
the home ofher grand-father, Mr.
Carter. The tenderest spmpathy
of their many friends is with the
bereaved parents and family.
The following tribute is repro
duced from the Macon Telegraph:
For two short fleeting years, God
left in the home of fond parents
this little earthly life; trusted to
their tender keeping this human
flower, untouched by the blight of
sin and srorrow; a tiny leather
from they wing 6| . lovei dropped
into the sacred lap of fiiotherhood.
But) these two short years were
time enough for her baby fingers
to grasp and hold the affections
of all, who knew her.
Beautiful, as if touched by the
finger of God, dainty and sweet,,
she was bright and attractive be
yond her years. Her every ac
tion was full of grace, and she
made a picture which will long
linger with those who were wont
to see her in the Sabbath sohool;
her little face all flushed, and hap
py, while her tiny hands waved
in rhythmic motion to the chil
dren’s songs of praise.
Now these things are but a
memory, and to loving, yearning
hearts they come with a staggers
ing weight of sorrow. They see,
instead, a dainty formjunclasped
by mother’s armseyes that yes
terday were blue as skies of June,
today drooped beneath ^kite lids,
which no pleading voice, can raise.

ingly about mother’s neck, quiet
ly folded in coffined rest. Soft
lips, yesterday rippling with
laughter, sweet as murmuring
woodland brook, gay as trill of
forest bird, today unresponsive to
call or kiss of love.
A silent home, a little bed, un
pressed dainty garments folded
and (with aching hearts) tenderly
laid away. A small mound, flow-
er*strewn, in the silent city of
the dead.
In uneasy, troubled slumber,
a father’s and mother’s groping

the low . sob, the bitter tear, as
broken dreams awake to sad reali

wrecked, like a fair Bhip that sud-

Yet, is_this so?
Let us” turn our thoughts from
the casket which holds the jewel,
and looking upward may the eye
of faith pierce the gloom, yet an
other link in the chain which

A Brutal Mother.
Lost Tuesday morning the peo-
iu the business portion of ^Perry
were startled by the screams of a
negro woman in the prisoners’
roomfof the court house.
She had just been convicted in
County court of cruelty to her
child. The sentence was 80 days
in jail, or a fine of $20. The
scream followed the judge’s an
nouncement that he would not al
low the child to remain in the
custody of her mother.
The woman’s name is Annie
Hall, and she says she came to
Houston county from Macon,
While picking cotton near Wells
ton about ten days ago, she whip
ped her daughter, twho is only 5
years old. The child ran off, and
was not found until after several
hours of diligent seach. Then it
was discovered that the whipping
had been brutally severe, the
child’s body being shockingly cut
and bruised.

The mules we sell are raised in the mountains of Ten

mules, and Are well broke and will stand as much work
!•* the ffrs$;year as the second. Owing to the fact that our
expenses are light, we are prepared to save you money.
Retiiemher, all the mules we sell are guaranteed tb be
all right, or your money will be refunded. We will
have in a car of these mules November 1st, next. Call
