VOL. XIX.
Sad Tales of a Motorist.
There was a man of modest means
But inclinations gay,
Who sold a corner lot and bought
A motor car one day.
He closed his business up to ride
With the big machine,
And patted with his diamond
To buy the gasoline.
Before, along the country roads,
The sumac lit its tires.
He put a mortgage on his house
To purchase rubber tires;
And be auctioned off his beds,
His tables and his chairs,
To give the car a coat of paint,
And to make some need repairs
If you want the best in
shoes try the Selby at Car¬
ter’s.

Gossip
Gossip is the “thinkings’’ of a
vulgar mind, and the “sling-slob
berings” of an evil-wagging
tongue. The barrels of tears
that-have been shed, and the tons
of heart-aches that have been
borne, will out-weight the good
that has been done, by the good,
the religious and the Heritable.

Dry Goods Much.
Cheaper.
Don’t get confused, and think
because a merchant is able to sell
goods this Fall at a much
price than last that he is
doing so to unload on account of
times, or that he is sac ri¬
his profit in ofder to help
aldng, be wise,look’around
see where it is to your ad
vantage to trade. Perhaps I
myself haven’t all the best
but it pleases me to
you what I have.
I do not intend to misrepre¬
things or speak falsely when
say that we can look forward to
and prosperity, for I
believe iye are going to
have better times; when I say
I do not do so to differ with
friends for I might bej mis¬
and if I am I would rather
be than to be out and above board
hard time. The differ¬
in now and this time last
is as follows: last Fall we had
money panic, securities of all
went to pieces, nope but
very'best stood the storm,
crops could not be marketed
our supply of money and to
on business it was neces¬
to issue Clearing house
that was the only
tiling that could be done, which
added insult to energy, some
them soap wrappers and
many other nick names were
given to them, it caused the peo¬
ple all over the country to hold
their money, many had money to
pay their bills and would not do
it because they had a panic ex¬
cuse. Banks refused to ex'end
or re-new notes, you could not
borrow at all, every thing was at
a stand-still- I tell you it was a
horrible time, we will all re
member it for-a long time. This
fall our crops as a whole are not
bad, some of our farmers are
making poor cotton crops while
are making fair crops,
many state that they are making
best all around crop they
ever made. Take a ride
the country and you will
many improvements hi the

Much improvement 1 going on
the towns and cities, note our
bank statement, good reserve and

n every way finances are rapidly
up to its usnal standard
the look is very bright
the future -
J predict that wl!1 not be
but a short while before all of
industries are at work on

Farmers Institute at
Perry on Oct. 30.
Dr Andrew M Soule, J’residenfc
of the State College of Agri¬
culture and Director of the
Farmers’ Institute of Georgia,
has arranged to give the farmers
of Houston County at Perry,
Georgia, on the 30th of October,
an institute that will be of very
great interest and value to all our
farmers.
All that is necessary to make
this institute a great success will
be the interest and presence of
the people for whose benefit the
institute is to be held. There
will be several addresses of a
practical nature by men who are
experts on the subjects that tl iey
will discuss.
This is an era of practical edu¬
cation. The object of the Htate
College of Agriculture is not only
to interest and instruct the youth
of the country in the principle
and practice of agriculture, but it
is also to interest and enlarge the
interest and intelligence of all
our farmers in their great pro¬
fession. We believe agriculture
has reached in Georgia the point
where its great importance and
capabilities for good are to be
vastly increased.
We hope our people will be
prompt to realize the importance
of this meeting and will give Dr
Soule and ii'is assistants a large
attendance and a hearty welcome.
