MARCH 15, 1902, ; . A Sermon on Rum. Brethren: My text is one word, R XT. M, Rum. My first question is, are you empty-headed? If so, there is no use talking; but if you have sense, you must know that R stands for Rags, Ruin and Ras cality. U stands for you—-the fellow thas is listening, and no body else. I want to know what you are going to do about it. Are you going to do what a lot of other fellows want you to do, or will you do as you want to do? Who tells you what to do? Who is your boss? Is it the crowd, the gang, “all the other fellows, ” or is it you? What does M stand for? That depends on what you stand for; it depends on whether you stand at all on your own legs or have to be propped up on some body else’s crutches. Yes, it all depends on you whether M will stand for mumbling, misery, mendicacy, and madness, or for muscle, money and manhood. Absurd Cure for Colds. The mao who originated the oft-quoted maxim, “Stuff a cold and starve a fever,” either did not understand what he was talking about, or he has been widely mis understood, to the great injury of multitudes who have acted upon the absurd maxim. Presuming that the author of it was a physi cian who knew something of the nature of colds and the action of remedies, he must have spoken Bubjunctively and not impera tively, and then it would read thus: “If you stuff a cold the consequences will be that you will be thrown into a fever as a result of the stuffing treatment of the cold, and then you will have to starve the fever.” This is a true and sensible interpretation of this commonly received maxim, which has done as much harm as the .thousand and one popular errors which prevail on medical subjects. SUGAR CANE CULTURE, Information Given by tbe State ricultural Department. Question.—Some time since I saw $ stated that good cane could be grow* from the top third of cane. Pleas* write me if this theory can be relied on, Any other information touching can* culture will interest south Georgil planters. Answer.—It has been demonstrated by Dir. W. O. Stubbs, of the Louisian! Sugar Experiment Station, as well a! other directors, that the top third of the cane stalk is not as good, but superioa for seed purposes. Dr. Stubbs recom mends that only this portion of thi plant be used for seed. The tops, how* ever, should not be banked, as is th< custom where the whole cane is used fof seed purposes. The land upon whiol? oane is to be grown another seasou should be thoroughly prepared, and thl COTTON.

Parlors and ware rooms on South Bradford street di rectly in front of court house, GAINESVILLE, GA "The top third of the cane,*’ says Dr. Stubbs, "should be cut off and planted in the rows in the usual manner, but without stripping. The tops are then covered by means of a turning plow and the middles opened to allow drainage To prevent freezing the cane tops should be covered from 5 to 6 inches deep. Thitf method of seed saving is the practice of many farmers in Louisiana, and is u« longer an experiment.** The Southern Farm Magazine say! that Dr. Stubbs, after six years of expe riments With a great variety of. canes, has developed a sugar cane which if capable of yielding 30 per, cent more oi sugar than the cane now grown in the state of Louisiana- He claims that this variety of cane will produce 38 tons to the acre./ The juice yields 16 per cenf of sugar, while , the old cane gives an acreage of 30 to 35 tons, with a 12 pei cent yield in the juice. Small bundles of tins cane will be furnished to-planters of Louisiana free. Would it not be a good plan a for a fevr of our Georgia farmers tointerest them selves in this new variety of sugar cane, whicn promises so much for our sister state?

The Valdosta Times says: A young man cannot learn too soon, the value of good' cheer; he should early and late cultivate the ability to look on the bright side. He should find what many a man has failed to discover, that there is such a thing as the sunny side of shadow. He will encounter diffi culties ; he will meet enemies; he will bear burdens; but if he can maintain a serene, even temper, and an unconquerable, hopeful spirit, he will succeed where mul titudes fail.
