Frank Walker, the wide-awake
representative of the Southern Ag
ricultural Works of Atlanta, was
here Monday demonstrating the
merits of the Hancock Rotary
Disc Plow. One of the plows was
taken out to Maj. Simmons’ farm
on Yellow River and put to a test
on a piece of heavy clay land, and
the result was simply all that could
be asked, and more than was ex
pected. The plow 7 was drawn by
three mules, and cut a furrow 14
inches wide to a depth of 18 inch
es with such smoothness that it
made plowing a real luxury, in
stead of work, Maj. Simmons was
delighted with the excellent work
ings of the plow, and bought one,
which is now in use turniug his
land preparatory to sowing wheat.
The News-Herald takes pleasure in
recommending the Hancock Disc
Plow to our farmers, and we be
lieve every enterprising farmer iu
the county could greatly improve
their lands by using it. The Han
cock is the only genuine Disc Plow 7
on the market, and is guaranteed
to give satisfaction, and" is not to
be classed with the cheap imita
tions that have been tried and
proven failures. Being manufac
tured right here in Atlanta, every
piece of it, the Southern Agricul
tural Works cannot afford to mis
represent it. Deep plowing and
thorough preparation of the soil
is essential to successful farming,
and this oau be done with ease by
using the Hancock Rotary Disc.
Maj. W. E. Simmons shows an
object lesson in the possibilities of
the soil in his “Montgomery
Farm,” on Yellow River. He has
owned this farm now for four years,
takiug it when it was run down
and almost worn out. This year
he will get 600 bushels of rent
corn and nine bales of cotton from
the place. He has gone to work
reclaiming the hillsides by a sys
tem of terracing, and building up
the bottoms by ditching and clean
ing them out, and by so doing has
made the place one of the most
valuable farms in the county. He
has the finest corn crop we have
seen, some of his bottoms contain
ing at least 60 bushels to the acre,
while the entire crop will average
25 bushels. This is Maj. Simmons’
choice farm, because it is close
enough to town to be looked after
by him personally It is cultiva
ted by the Maddox darkies, of
which Sherman Maddox is the
head. Sherman is a true-blue
democratic negro, as is also his six
brothers, and they never fail to
vote the democratic ticket. Tfiey
are intelligent and hard-working,
do not drink a drop of whisky nor
use tobacco in any form. In fact
they are model plantation negroes,
and as a reward for their thrift
and energy are prosperous and
happy. Sherman showed us a big
porker in his pou that would tip
the beam at fully six hundred
pounds. These are the kind of
negroes that will always be accord
ed fair treatment in the south, for
they never bother themselves about
social equality or the race problem,
but go along about their business,
voting the democratic ticket as a
matter of principle, recognizing
that their interests are identical to
those of their white friends.
COL, F;. W. PEEPLES.
He Is Appointed Solicitor of the City
Court to Succeed Col. Juhan.
Col. E. S. V, Briant went down
to Atlanta Tuesday to confer with
Gov. Candler relative to his can
didacy for City Court solicitor.
Gov Candler,while feeling kind
ly disposed to Col. Briant. in
formed him that he had appointed
Col R. W. Peeples to the Solici
torship.
Mr. Peeples was strongly en
dorsed for the position, and it has
been a foregone conclusion for
some time "that he would be ap
pointed, in case Col. Juhan, the
present incumbent, was not re-ap
pointed.
Col. Briant and Col. Juhan wpre
both highly endorsed by nnmerous
friends, but Guv. Candler took the
position that the Solicitorship
should bo filled with an active
young man, and as Col. Peeples
filled the bill and was recognized
as an exemplary young man, well
equipped for the position, the Gov
ernor had no hesitancy in making
the appointment.

A Silver Wedding.
The silver wedding of Mr. and
Mrs. George E. King, which was
celebrated Saturday evening at
their home in Inman Park, was an
occasion which combined senti
ment and beauty in a peculiarly
happy way.
The day was an eventful one in
the happy family. Besides being
the twenty-fifth anniversary of
Mr. and Mrs. King’s wedding day,
it was the third anniversary of
that of their eldest daughter, Mrs,
I. S. Thomas of Baltimore, and
was moreover the birthday of Mr.
Thomas and of Miss Lillian King.
The house was beautifully dec
orated with palm and flower*.
The bride’s table was exquisite in
its silver decorations. In the
centre was a large oval mirror,
and handsome silver candelabra
lent their brilliancy to make the
table beautiful. The silver scheme
was carried out in every detail
and the effect was charming. Mrs.
King received her guests in an
elegant gown of silver gray, elab
orately trimmed with passemen
terie; she received her guests in
that gracious way which is char
acteristic of her. The mother
with her daughters, who assisted
in receiving, presented a charming
group. The presents received were
very handsome and numerous.
Among them was a handsome cut
glass tankard with silver about
the top, a silver soup ladle with a
golden bowl, a solid silver tea bell
and others of great beauty
Among the prominent guests of
the evening was Rev. J. L King,
who performed the marriage cere
mony twenty-five years ago.
The evening was a delightful
one and all the guests united in
wishing Mr. and Mrs. King all the
happiness for the future that has
been theirs in the past. —Atlanta
Journal.
Among the guests on this occa
sion were Maj. and Mrs. VV. E.
