IN MEMORY OF MOTHER,
Wbo Died In Perry July 29th, 1962
Written For The Bomb Journal.
Softly; so softly, darling mother,
The angel whispered to thee, “come,”
We did know thou waat going
Until thy spirit was almost flown.
I called thee,but thou oouldst not answer;
T kissed thy face, fast growing cold;
In loving embrace I held thee, mother,
And oh! how loth to loose my hold.
Although hushed were earthly Voices,
Thou didst hear thy Savior call*
Galling thee to “Heavenly Mansions”
His loving hands prepared tor thee.
With unveiled eyes, sure we oould see
Loved ones who had crossed before:
On swift wings they gladly oome
To convey thy Bpirit Home.
For many years had father left thee,
In the world to toil alone.
He has come, obj hear dLim calling:
Game,’Mary .dearest,to heaven and home.
“Long have waited for thy coming,
I have watohed thee from the shore;
At last thou art come; oh, how happy
To be parted never more.”
Wealth thou didso not leavens, mother
But there’s something more than gold:
Prayers of faith and ohristian oouusel,
Leading us to our Savior’s fold.
Heavenly Father, how we thank Thee
For a ohristian mother, dear,
Who hath taught us, if we trnstThee,
Nothing would we have to fear.
Give us strength, oh, Heavenly Father,
To follow as she led the way,
Walking in the Savior’s footsteps,
Trusting Him from day to day.
Then again we’ll meet our mother;
Onoe again will olasp her hands,
Join with her in Binging praises
For safely reaching the Heavenly Land.

It will* perhaps be a revelation
to some people that Georgia pro
duced 1,105,600 pounds of tobac
co from 2,804 acres, worth $169,-
659, in 1899. But such are the
figures given by the United StateB
census reports. This state has
been regarded as illy suited to to
bacco culture, and the impression
is quite general that the weed in
Georgia merely supplied a few old
men’s pipes and mouths as they
sat around the family hearth and
told stories of the war. And yet
in some of the Southern counties
a very fine article is grown, and
its cultivation is increasing
Georgia planted 1,927 acres in
beans in 1899, realizing 17,489
bushels, valued at $17,982. There
were 167,082 acres in peas, mak
ing 1 180,441 bushels, worth $958,-
241. Alabama had 1,141 acres in
tobacco, producing 311,950 pounds
valued at $55,581. The acres de
voted to beans were 1,765, making
1-7,865 bushels, worth $15,507.
Peas covered 91,106 acres, making
665,888 bushels, valued at

Sugar Oane will be a Great Money
Crop.
Macon Tolegraph
Maj. W. L. Glessner, land.in
dustrial commissioner of the Geor
gia Southern and Florida railroad,
was an attentive listener and ob
server at the recent convention of
the sugar ,oane growers.
Discussing the results that will
follow a permanent organization
of the cone growers of the South,
and especially of Georgia and
Florida, he said:
It 'means that sugar cane is
going to be cultivated on a large
Beale, beoause people have learned
that properly handled sugar cane
is a great mousy crop.
“I think there will be some
■radical departure also from the
old methods. The day of the old
plahtation horse-power gin has
passed, the day of the plantation
horse-power oane mill will soon
pass, and it will be replaced 'by
the central s'yrtip mill, with its
steam power oane mill, and steam
heated evaporators.
“With the advent of central
mills, farmers will raise • sugar
oane and ship it to the mill at a
rate of freight that will prove
profitable to the railroads, and
leave a godd profit to the farmer,
or the central mills will manu
facture the syrup/ for the oane
grower for a small toll.
“I am iuolined to the belief
that a direct sale of the cane to
the central mill is the best propo
sition. The oentral mill oan man
ufacture with greater economy in
oost of production, and will be in
better position to reaoh the
large buyers when they offer
syrup uniform in color and flavor.
“The cane grower, when he sells
his oane to a central mill, has re
lieved himself of the tedious and
expensive task ,of manufacturing
his oane into a marketable prod
uct. Sealing his cane at so much
per ton delivered, all he has to at
tend to i& proper planting, culti
vation and harvesting.
“Macon is a good point for a
central cane syrup plant. A fac
tory capable of producing 750 gal
lons per day can be erected for
$8,000 to $4,000. This includes
the building and setting up the
machinery,
“There are fifteen wholesale
syrup dealers in New York, who
are ready to buy at any time a
good grade of Georgia cane syrup.
There are ten wholesale firms in
Nashville, Tenn., who are buyers
of syrup, nine firms in Louisville,
Ky., nine in Cincinnati, eleven
firms in St. Louis, ten firms in
Indianapolis, eight firms in Kan
sas City, one firm in Boston and
eleven firms in Chicago.”
Discussing the manufacture of
sugar, Maj. Glessner said: “Sugar
has been successfully manufactur
ed in Georgia and Florida; its ex
tensive production was supersed
ed by cotton cultivation. Dur-|
ing the past few years, however,
the low price of cotton has again
called attention to the possibility
of a profitable manufacture of su
gar. The cane growers’ conven
tion has given an impetus in this
direction. It is possible to erect
a sugar mill of modern* equip
ment, capable of working up tons
of cane per day at a cost not ex
ceeding $20,000. Such a mill
would turn out white ''granulated
sugar, ready for the market, which
would always command the open
market price.”
Where Indian Trasures Go*
Now York Mall and Express-
A few years ago a bright dealer
in Indian articles was on a col
lecting trip to the West. He did
not exactly foresee the. present
rage for Indian things, but he
knew well enough that a great
many branches of native produc
tion* in art and industry are going
to become extinct, as wampum
making has, and he realized that
anything good that he oould buy
would soon be \yorth more than it
was then. He saw an Iudian, wo
man at'one of the reservations,
who had on a particularly beauti
ful beaded buokskiii dress. The
work was done in the free, broad,
fine way employed by the Indians,
whose work is yet unspoiled by
oontaot with the whites—with
subdhed and mellow colors. The
dealer tried to buy the dress of
the woman, but she would noft<
sell it. Next time he came, she
said, smiling, perhaps that ho
would give her any price for it
ithat she asked, and she promised
that no one else Bhould have it.
In two or tnree years more he
went to the same reservation and
endeavored to find the Indian wo
man with the dress. He discov
ered that she had died in the
meantime, and that her wonder
ful dress h|id been buried on her
bodyand not only that, but she
had been dressed for burial, in
three other dresses of the Bame
sort.
The • same, 'dealer had an even
more startling ■{ experience. At
one reservation he came upon a
warrior who had a shirt decora
ted with 200 elk teeth. As elk
teeth are now worth in the mar
ket from $5 to $10 apiece, the
value of this wonderful garment
can be estimated. The dealer
made the same proposition to the
man that he had made to the wo
man with the dress. “When you
want to sell the shirt,” be said,
“I will give you any money you
ask, and will pay you more than
auybodj else will pay, you, no
matter what it is.V The man re
fused to sell, but said, he would
remember. Not very long after
the dealer went to the same res
ervation and found his man alive
and well. But in the meantime,
the Indian’s greatly beloved son
had died, and as a mark of love
and giief, he had dressed the boy
for burial in the wonderful elk-
tooth shirt. The boy had, there
fore, a winding sheet whose value,
at a low estimate, was a thousand
dollars.
