—Clerk Woodard tells us that
the number of mortgages he has

gages is comparatively small—
some as low as $5, and few above
$160. He further says that a ma
jority of these mortgages are to
secure payment for mules pur-
chashed. Macon and Perry are
the places at which nearly all the
mules were bought.
Consider Home Conditions.
Last year the banking business
at Perry was greater than in any
other preceding year, and there
was an increase in the ootton re
ceipts of about 1,000 bales over
the receipts of 1901. In connec
tion with these, increases, more
than the usual amount of farm
products were sold iu Perry, and
there was a material increase in
the value of the goods bought by
farmers from Perry merchants.
Altogether these transactions
were satisfactory, and the farm
ers and townspeople were brought
closer together in business rela
tions.
This winter four carloads of
mules have been sold here by
Perry dealers, and we are told
most of these mules were paid
for in cash by Houston farmers.
The outlooic for another crop
year is promising, and the condi
tions are good for a material in
crease in co-operative business re
lations between Perry business
mon and farmers. This is as it
snonld be, and there is no reason
why there should hereafter be
any break in that line.
Considering home conditions,
it is to the material advantage of
all citizens to buy Houston prod
ucts whenever quality and pri
ces compare favorably with like
products of pother counties, or
another state.
Every dollar sent out of the
county for an article produced at
heme is that much taken perma
nently from the assets of the
county, whilo every dollar thus
spent koeps that dollar at home
and uddB the profit of the trans
action to the property value of
the county.
In all transactions, consider
home conditions, and home inter
ests will be advanced in stability
and value.

Therejwill be a lecture by Dr. j
Eugene May, of Brooklyn, N. Y., |
at the court house in' Perry Fri- [
day night, January 28rd, under j
the auspices of the Alkaherst Ly
ceum. This noted orator has lec-j
tured in all the principal cities
and colleges in the United States,
including Georgia, and during the
last two years filled engagements
with many chautauquas in differ
ent states. He is regarded as one
of the most entertaining speakers
on the lecture stage. His lecture
at Perry will probably be a hu
morous portrayal of Irish charac
ter and wit. All who attend will
secure a literary treat.
Lecture will begin at 8 o’clock.
Usual price of admission.
Tickets on sale at Dr. Cater’s
Drugstore.
An Enormous Yield.
The highest possible attainment
in sigricultual or industrial pro
duction is rarely, if ever, obtain
ed, yet progress depends upon
continual effort in that direction.
Last week we published in the
Home Journal the remarkable
product of one sweet potato vine,
grown by Mr. W. T. Vaulanding-
hum on Mr. L. F. Cater’s farm in
Houston county. On that potato
vine grew 18 potatoes that weigh
ed 21 pounds. A calculation has
been made as to what would be
the product of one acre at the
same rate. With one acre plant
ed in sweet potatoes, iu rows three
feet apart, and the potato vines
18 inches apart in the rows, a per
fect stand at the rate of the vine
above noted, the product would-
be, 127,400 potatoes weighing
205,800 pounds and measuring
8,742 bushels. This calculation is
made without reference to frac
tions, and therefore the produot
in number of potatoes, pounds
aud bushels is less than if the
fractions had been "calculated.
Three hundred bushels of sweet
potatoes per acre is considered a
very good yield under favorable
circumstances.
