Plant Rico.
Under the caption, “Plant Rice
and Fane,’’ in last week’s paper, in
onr enthusiastic advocacy of Geor¬
gia cane syrup, we loft off, in the
middle of our remarks, in regard to
rice. This week we propose to
plant rice.
There are two varieties of rice—
upland and lowland Either va
rietv will do well in this county.
Wo have seen tine crops of rice
raised on first year new ground in
Decatur county, and on high and
|- dl T ^nd~sirnilar piney woods in land every of middle

Georgia. •
Rico yields from ten to fifty
1 bushels per acre, and can be success¬
fully grown on ordinary loamy soil.
' It should be cut before the heads
i are dry as it does not shatter out so
j badly, and when thus cut, the straw
makes fine provender for cattle and
horses. The crop is harvested in
very much the same manner as oats
or wheat.
Rice is a profitable crop and there
is always a good demand for it at a
good price, be the supply great or
small. It requires from a peck to
three peeks of seed to plant an acre,
the quantity depending on the
method of planting and distancing.

Kin to Jonan’s Gourd.
A friend of ibe Telegraph sug¬
gests that we weave into our “daily
corn song and fable a few stanzas
about the velvet bean.’’
From all that we can learn, the
{ bean in question is a cross between
p ope Brown’s red ripper pea and C.’
Jouah > 8 g0U rd. Recently Mr. A.
u liaivey, arvcv of ot Candler Ganctiei, Fla i la., sent suit to to
the Indiana Farmer a specimen taken

teen pods to the stem* five beans to

„j ve ^j le t p ir Lies plenty of work,
make lots of fertilizer, good meal
for cows, horses and hogs. One
can raise corn, potatoes and other
things after, a crop of them. He
gathered some of these off dead pine
trees twenty-five feet up. They grow
on until frost. It keeps a man busy
to keep them off things and from
running over the fence into the road.
Hard to kill? Have to beat them
like a lloosier schoolmaster does
his kids.
If these facts do not establish
their kinship to the gourd which
was Jonah’s and also to the red
ripper known to Hon. Pope Brown,
then the Telegraph is no expert in
this business. We should think that
this bean ought to be given a chance
to spread itself over the red hills of
Georgia even unto the bottom lands.
After corn, why not velvet beans?

Mr. \ anAtten, of this ,

beans last year, r ed is highly pleased

For Christians to Remember.
It would be well for all professed
Christians to read and ever keep in
mind the following truthful para¬
graphs taken from the Rain’s Horn::
The religion that costs nothing is
worth nothing.
If the heart is wrong, how can
the life be right?
When we are close to Christ we
never feel any weight in Ilis yoke.
There are no crown wearers in
heaven who are not cross bearers
here.
The measure of one’s love for an¬
other is his willingness to Suffer for
him.
There is no better place to serve
God in than the one in which lie
has put us.
Those who serve God only when
they feel like it, never do a full
day’s work.
Some of us would praise God
more if we would find fault with
our neighbors less.
It is only now and then that God
calls people to preach the gospel,but
lie calls every convert to be a wit¬
ness for it.
Remarkable Care of Rheumatism.
Kk.mna, Jackson Co., \V*. Va.
About three years ago my wife
had an attack of rheumatism which
confined her to her bed for over a
month and rendered her unable to
walk a step without assistance, her
limbs being swollen to double their
normal size. Mr. S. Maddox insist¬
ed on my using Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm. I purchased a. fifty-cent bot¬
tle and used it according to the di¬
rections and the next morning she
walked to breakfast without assist¬
ance in any manner, and she has not
had a similar attack since.—A. B.

The Atlanta Journal’s Ashburn
correspondent gives the following
account of the Story-Dasher mar¬

7:30 at the home of the bride’s
father, Mr. W. B. Dasher.
Dr. Story is one of the leading

Butter from peanuts is now being
made in commercial quantities in
Indiana. It is said to be quite a
good, palatable and wholesome ar¬
ticle, and the cost of it is about one-
