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. . . Dennard Dots. By The Judge. 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. Emmett Pitts and Edgar Barfield of Macon spent Sunday here with relatives and friends. Mrs. J. N. Andrews of Roberta is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. 0. Sandefur, Mr. J. 0. Tice of Hawkinsville is the guest of Mr. J. I. Johnson. Mrs. J. F. Hodges of Macon re turned home to-day, after a short visit to the family of her brother, Hon. J. II. Davis. Mr. J.

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. 0. 0.

I notice in the columns of the Home Journal an article announc 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.
