Mossy Hill Notes.
BY fcOOKS.
Crops are short and hard to gath
er on the Hill, but there is life in
the old land yet, for ’possums and
potatoes are ripe and plentiful.
In a late issue of The Journal
"The Judge” declared we could
farm without planting any cotton,
but doubted if I would agree with
him, and I don’t. There is but one
way to make money on the farm,
and that is to t make plenty of cot
ton, and the way to make plenty of
it is to do as the late Dr. Tharp ad
vised his young friends, plant lots
of it. Every one knows a short crop
of cotton has been made this year,
but the price oontinues to go down,
and clearly shows that the supply
and demand has got nothing to do
with controlling the price, You ofi-
ly want enough hogs to make plenty
of meat for home consumption and
have one hog over] and enough flour
aud syrup for home use and have a
barrel over. The extra hog and bar
rels insure the greatest plenty. Then
go in and make all the cotton you
can. But this question has been
through the hands of all the scrib
blers of the world, and how beauti
ful many can picture their theories
on paper. We have just read a
mighty article in the Forum in
which the writer exerted all his elo
quence to show that the negro is a
better farmer than.the white man.
But we all understand that kind of
stuff, and only read it when there is
nothing else to read. But I love to
follow The Judge, and hope he will
continue to wave his magic wand for
our good.
Dawson Lumpkin, a colored farm
er on the Hill, reports that he had a
bale of cotton stolen from him on
Sunday night.
Mr. Bradd aud family of Oordele,
have been the guests of Mr. and
Mrs. 0. B. Till this week.
Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Langston have
returned home from a delightful
visit to friends in Jasper county.
Mr. Langston reports things looking
gloomy in Jasper, and declares that
he now knows this is God’s own
country.
Cane grinding will be next in or
der, and the promise is that long
sweetening will be plentiful.
Much grain has been planted and
still the good work goes on.

As the question of a dispensary
system for Houston county is to be
passed upon, it should be studied
carefully so as to pass upon it intel
ligently. While I do not propose to
argue either side, I may say in pass
ing that in my opinion our local op
tion law is the best solution of the
whiskey question I have ever seen
advocated. A majority of the peo
ple of this section take their dram,
but I have yet to hear one of them
say that whiskey was not as near to
them as they wanted it to be. It is
claimed, I believe, that a dispensary
will reduce taxation. Will it, or
will it not, be a very costly redac
tion? A dispensary with a "blind
tiger” can be no better than local
option with a "blind tiger,” though
a blind tiger is to be preferred to
one with t.wo good eyes.

Perry, Ga., Nov. 10, 1902.
Preamble and resolutions read and
adopted at the fourth quarterly con
ference of Perry charge, South Ma
con District of the South .Georgia
Conference.
As this is the last, quarterly con
ference at which, under the regula
tions of our church, we can hope to
meet with our beloved Presiding El
der, Dr. J. B. McGehee, in an oflloial
capacity, we desire to express our
love, affection and respect for him.
We feel a very peculiar interest in
him for many reasons.. Dr. McGehee
was born in our town, and was li
censed to preach here just fifty years
ago. Daring this long service he
has served us as pastor and presid
ing elder at different intervals, and
while acquiescing in the rule of the
church, we can but say that we part
with him with many regrets.
Therefore-, be it resolved, that
though he is nearing his thsee score
and teu yours, yet hisrmthe strength
of mind and hotly is not abated, and
in heart and spirit he grows in
grace, and we pray that many years
may be added to his useful, conse
crated life
We commend him to his next field
of service as a faithful, worthy ser
vant of our Church, aud wish for
him much happiness and joy.

Card of Sympathy.
I notice in the columns of the

ing the death of 0. L Hollemau on
October 24th, 1902. 1
I wish to say that I do earnestly
sympathize with my most beloved
and mistaken friend,who felt enough
interest in my welfare to announce
my death and me still living. I can
assure that party that I am in fine
health, and carry 173 pounds of
pure man flesh. On October 8,1902,
I just began to gain in weight and
have been gaining ever since. I do
earnestly sympathize, and beg that
all the good people of Houston and
Orawford counties will sympathize
with the person that is so unfortu
nate as to be so wealrsmd fickle
minded that he can’t discriminate
between a dead man and one in fine
health. Respectfully,
0. L. Holluman.
