If the farmers will take interest in the Farmers’ Institute organ ized here Tuesday it can be made of great benefit to the agricultural and commercial prosperity of Gwinnett county. It will bring about a closer fellowship among the farmers, and through an inter change of ideas at the monthly meetings the best methods can be adopted as to the preparation of the soil, fertilization, seeding, etc. Friendly rivalry will thus be pro moted and the groat industry of agriculture stimulated. In order to further along this great move ment, the News-Herald has in view r the raising of a fund to be of fered as premiums for the best acres of wheat, corn, cotton, etc., of which we will speak more fully at the next meeting of the insti tute. Gwinnett’s agricultural re sources are simply marvelous, and with proper development should make this the garden spot of our beautiful Southland. And the Farmers’ Institute can be made the means of stimulating this de velopment. It costs nothing to join, and every farmer in the county should enroll his name as a member. Dr. H.

Dod- j son will entertain them with an i interesting speech, for nothing affords him more pleasure than! the hale fellowship of the rugged men who will be here on this oc casion. All the newspapers in the coun ties above mentioned are respect fully requested to give publicity to this grand event, and their ed itors are cordially invited to be present if they want to “laugh and grow fat. ” -*THE NEW BLACKSMITH SHOP.*- C.
