Mossy Hill Notes.
by Iooks.
Everything is moving with a great
rush on Ihe Hill now, but farmers
are generally very backward. j
We see no indications of the far- j
mers going wild and planting the
world in cottcn, as some try to
make believe. It is very true more
guano is- being sold, and the reason
is quite plain, for when cotton seed
went to 32 cents per bushel in Elko
the best farmers saw it was to their
interest to sell their seed and invest
in guano. Another good reason for
the increase in the use of guano is,,
the farmers are learning to farm bet
ter. They do not plant bo much,
but fertilize better. One of the lar
gest and most successful farmers in
this section requires each of his ten
ants to use not less than three tons
of the best guano to the plow. We
were very happy, however, to see
the Journal publish Dr. Hunnicut’s
article on guanao, aud wish you had
gone further aud reproduced the
Doctor on “Technical Education for
Farmers,” Not that i’expect it would
in auy way affect “our lords who run
affairs of state,”but it might put the
people to thinking.
There is not much news to write
about in the country now, as all the
big stories about heavy hogs, etc,
have been sent in and the picnic sea
son hosn’t openedgup yet.

. The University Summer School.
The authorities of the University
and the State Normal School are un
dertaking a great enterprise during
the coming summer. The faculties
of those two schools, together with
distinguished people throughout the
state, and beyond the state,will con
duct a University Summer School of
Methods from July 1st to*.August
9th. Twenty-five dollars will cover
the necessary expenses of a student
in this school for the full six weeks,
and the teachers of Georgia will
have open to them twenty-five
schools of instruction, It is expect
ed that a one fare rate for tbe round
trip will be secured. Ten days of
the session will be devoted to a dis
cussion of rural school problems, in
which the county school commis
sioners will be vitally interested.
Teachers and school officials who
think of attending, should write at
once, for full information, to

Senator Moroan has thus far con
ducted a most remarkable filibuster
on the Panama treaty. He has spo
ken c ver 200,000 words, equal to a
very l)ig book, in his arguments
against the convention as framed,
and still seems as fresh as ever. One
evening last week a night session
was held with the hope ^f tiring out
the venerabl^Alabamian. He spoke
for three hours, from 8 to 11 o’clock,
when the Senate took a recess until
next morning. Your correspondent'
happened to leave the capital just
behind Senators Morgan and Pet-
tus, who were walking arm in arm,
and heard the former say: “Pettus,
whai shall we do with the resji of
the evening? I’m not tired and it is
too eariy to go to bed. Can you
suggest some way of enjoying our
selves for an hour or two?” When
it is realized that Mr. Morgan is 79
and Mr, Pettus 82, the humor of the
incident is apparent.—Our Wash

Grovania Gleanings.
By Joe Bedgo,
It has been quite a while since I
have said anything through the
Journal about our section, but I
have been sick with grippe, the hold
o^er distemper, or some other disor
der. My wife and son have also been
sick. Mrs. Bedge has been seriously
ill, but by the help of the good Lord
we are now able to be up. I feel
very ..grateful to the good ladies of
Grovania and community for their
kiud at .ention to my wife during her
illness, and extend h«arrfelt thanks
for the nourishing delicacies sent
her. We will always cherish a cor
dial feeling for their kindness. Onr
pastor came around to see us while
we were Bick, read some scripture,
had prayer and told us to put our
burdens upou the Lord. Well, I
reckon we did it, but it was a heavy
tote, or at least mine was.
I hear of no serious damage done
by the storm in our neighborhood,
except the smokestack of the Gro-
\ania Oil and Fertilizer Co. was
blown down, and one of the chim
neys of Mr. W. H Harrison’s dwell
ing house.
Farm work has been somewhat
retarded on account of so much rain,
but the weather is now good and
everybody is moving with double
action. The grain crop is looking
sick from the cold. Muoh guano
will be used in this section, from the
quantity I noticed being shipped to
our place. From the odor and fra
grance of the air'it is prefty good.
On account of quarterly meeting
at Elko on the 3rd Sunday wo had
uo preaching at our place, but, now-
over, Rev. H. C. Brewton preached
for us mst Sunday, and preached an
excellent sermon.

fairs a:e moving on nicely, and an

150 prominent citizens of Georgia
organized a "Greater Georgia”
league, for the purpose of advertis

sistently. J. K. Orr of Atlanta was
elected president and W. G. Cooper
secretary, with one vipe president
for each judicial circuit. For ' this
circuit E. L. Martin of Macon was
chosen. It is proposed to raise a
fund of $15,000 to be expended an
nually in publishing and distribut

Hog Raising as a Money Orop.
Mr. Editor: The raising of hogs
as a money crop, in my judgment,
has been greatly overlooked by the
farmers in this and other sections of
the south. Of course it iB like ev
erything else; you must go at it
right and keep at it if you suoceed.
Had I known twenty years ago what
I now know (from experience) about
hogs, I would have been much bet
tor off.
I find the secret of successful hog
raising is to have something to raise
them on, aud see that they get it all
times of the year, so as to keep them
in a thriving condition. Rye, oats,
wheat, Bermuda grass, crab grass,
Spanish grpuud peas, field peas and
sweet potatoes, with a little corn,
will make tbe meat you are looking
for, in the wind up.
Mr. Hog will do his own gather
ing and keep his tail curled all the
time.
I can take five sows, with two lit
ters of pigs eaoh a year, and raise
9,000 pounds of pork. A. low esti
mate, 7 oents per pound, would be
$630. This can be done on a one-
horse farm, and if a pet patch of
cotton is desired, it can be added.
There is not much danger of dis
ease of any kind among hogs when
properly attended to. Of oourse we
cannot engage in any enterprife
without taking some chancep.
My experience is that it takes less
labor and less money to raise hogs
than any crop I have yet cultivated.

Concerning the effect of the freeze
of last week upon the fruit crop a
Fort VjUley correspondent reported
to the Constitution on the 18th as
follows: “The fruit growers of this
section, after making a careful ex
amination, pronounce the peach orop
practically uhinjured, by the cold,
and the prospects are now better
than ever for a great yield. The
very high wind on Monday night
blew the water off the frees before
the freeze came, which was a most
potent factor in preventing total de
struction of fruit.”

tor of the Perry Baptist,Church sev

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble
and Don’t Know it.
How To Find Ont. ,
Fill a bottle or common glass with youf
water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a
sediment or set
tling indicates an
unhealthy condi
tion of the kid
neys; if it stains
your linen it is
evidence of kid
ney trouble; too
frequent desire to
_ pass it or pain in
«'■— the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and blad
der are out of order.
What to So.
There is comfort In the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Root, the groat kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain In passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and'overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists in50c. and$l. sizes.

Wonderful discovery *

tion reading this generous offer In this paper, i
Don’t make any mistake, but remember
