The Macon Telegraph announces that another convention of wheat growers will be held in Macon on July J 3th for the purpose of com¬ paring notes on this year’s successes and failures in wheat growing. It seems that the reports will be mostly of success inasmuch as the venture has proven a great success through¬ out middle Georgia. Even in south Georgia, there has been made some splendid wheat crops. It is to the credit of the Telegraph that it done a great deal to encourage wheat growing in Georgia by offering premiums, giving needed informa¬ tion and otherwise. It couldn’t have been engaged in abetter work. As a result of its efforts hundreds of Georgia farmers, who have here¬ tofore raised cotton to buy flour, will cat the' latter from their own bin this year. It is needless to say that the crop of wheat has paid them much better than the same land in cotton would have paid them. “Even the pro hi bitionist doesn’t make a kick about the horn of plenty.” F all"] ^ I j MIAnini y M ' . | that the Peerless Remedy for Diseases of the Liver, Kidneys and Bladder is Ufa Jo Ha «*■«.

North Alabama, June 3.-—I see from the paper:: that the wheat crop is near a failure this year, but the farmers should not be discouraged, It will do better next time. There is more money in wheat than there is in cotton, even if it be like my my friend, Judge Dan Tucker’s, too much rust to save. Pasture the land two or three weeks, then it is ready for a big crop of peas. Need not pay any attention to what Elder Sikes says about how nasty and mean a fellow looks and feels when he has been working in rusty wheat, or when he tolls about Elder Albert ■Sutton or Elder YvE TI. Harden’s wife’s telling them that they are ex¬ pecting company Sunday, and they wanted some nice flour, they did not want to cook that smutty, rusty stuff for them. Now, Mr. Editor, I know I ate at as many different places last year as Elder Sikes, or anybody else, and I did not eat better biscuit than I did at John McMillan’s, three miles southwest of Alapaha, in Berrien county ; at Aaron Mocks’, six miles north of Willacoochee, in Coffee county, aad at other places I could mention where they had tlys “rusty stuff,” as Eider Mikes calls it. The farmer should not be discour¬ aged because Lige Hogan made a failure one time, as Lige hardly ever does make a mistake in his farming. Here, over 400 miles north of Til¬ ton, flour will be 50 per cent, higher next fall than now. Cattle have gone up 50 per cent.; will go higher now. Wheat means more cattle, more fat cattle means more money, more prosperity and less buying on a credit. Elder Sikes has been a very safe man in his writings and savings, but, as Elders Harden or Sutton would say, he is in the brush this time. Let every farmer raise his bread, his hogs and beef, and hay to sell. No money in cotton until it sells for more money. Crops are all very poor in this sec¬ tion except cotton. It is fine and in good condition. It is very dry; the oat crop is a failure. Some farmers say they will plow up part of their crop of corn and plant again if it rains soon. Have had no rain here for six weeks next Monday; ther¬ mometer 96 in the coolest shade. No fruit in this section. Kind words to all', my friends. Would like to sec all my friends in all parts of the Brushy Creek 'country. W. W. Hum. A Card ot Thanks.
