STATE FAIR
The State Fair opened in Atlan¬
ta today.
From the claims made by the
promoters of the institution, we
are led to suppose that tnis fair
will eclipse any former state effort
of this kind and those who attend
may expect to be will paid and
materially benefitted by this ex¬
hibition. The indications now
point to a larger attendance than
was accorded the fair of last year.
The railroads will give reduced

ENTERTAINMENT.
“America’s great heart is now
being stirred to its depths by the
appeal for the destitute famine
orphans of India. Fully 500,000
of those helpless little ones are
thrown homeless and friendless
upon the world, and must perish
like their parents, unless the men
and women of Christendom reach
out to save them.”
Along this line Mrs. E. Roberts
requests us to announce that she
will sell to the highest bidder, at
the Court House, next Monday
night, a quilt which she has made
for the purpose of raising money
for the orphans. Mr. D. N. Hud¬
son has kindly consented to auc¬
tion the quilt off and it is hoped
the people of Conyers will turn
out and help generously in the
cause.
A musical program has been ar¬
ranged for the evening and a good
time is hoped for.

THE WHEAT CROP.
The one crop above all others
which should engage the attention
of every farmer at this time is that
oue which heads this article. There
is an old adage which says, “If a
thing is worth doing at all it
should be well done.” This old
proverb could not be more forcibly
applied to any work on the farm
than that required in connection
with the preparation of our lands
for the coming crop of wheat.
The time has passed when each
farmer relying upon the splendid
fertility of soil, freshly cleared of
Virgin forests, can lightly break
the surface, sow grain and expect
yields.
Our lands have been cleared
and submitted to annual cultiva¬
tion lor many decades, inmost in¬
stances cultivated in crops which
have a tendency to harden and
cement the soil rather than loosen
and pulverize it. Take a field for
instance which has been cultivated
principally in cotton, the land
being plowed but lightly each year
with a constant packing caused by
the daily tramping of mule or
horse, and the subsoil becomes as
hard almost as brickbate just a
few inches below the surface of
the soil. In planning for the best
development of any species of
plant life on the farm it is well
to know something of the laws of
nature, The very life of every
farmer is closely interwoven with
the marvelous laws of nature.
Nature will bountifully take care
of every farmers home if lie will
bub study her laws, apply them
intelligently in the management
of his crops, and otherwise ener¬
getically do liis duty, The mag¬
nificent and varied resources cf
our beautiful southland make it
possible for every tiller of the soil
to weave peace and plenty about
his fireside and to be able to walk
the public highways as that strong
and independent character which
our creator in (ended him to be.
when at the dawn of civilization
agriculture was given as the first
business in which man should en
gage.
I have the best [jline of
clothing, shoes and hats to be
jound inCon vers for the mon¬
ey. M. H. Piunket.

Ohio Man Has Had Twenty Child¬
ren-Wages From $1.20 to $1.30
a Day.
A most remarkable family resides
at Monroe Fail, Ohio. A few days
ago. Mr. and Mrs. Moore gave to
the public an outline as to how
Hiey had raised a family of twenty
children on the small salary which
Mr. Moore has commanded, $1.20
to $1.80 per day. The story is as
follows:
Mr. Moore is fifty years old and
ins wife is forty-three. Both were
from Mon tons, Penn. Moore went
to Ohio in 1876. The first child
to bless the union was Norah, now
twenty-three years old. Mrs.
Moore gives the following list of
their children: Norah, twenty
f hree; Bertha, twenty-one; Lucy,
twenty; John, nineteen; Harry,
seventeen; Deila, llifteen; Hazel,
fourteen ; Maud, thirteen • Deffany
twelve (dead);- Frank, eleven;
Amy, ten; Charles, nine (dead);
Austin, eight; Isaac, six; Roger,
five; Evelene, four; Russell,
three; Chester one (dead), and
baby boy two weeks old.
The family not being large e
nough a little one named Bernice,
aged three, was adopted. At pres¬
ent fifteen of the children are at
home. Norah was married two
weeks ago and Bertha is in Akron.
Moore is exceedingly proud cf his
family, and nothing delights him
more than to talk about them. He
says:
“Yes, I have found it a little
close to bring up my family on
$1.80 per day, and even $1.20, but
I managed it. I go to Akron and
buy my corn and flour by whole¬
sale. It takes a snug sum to shoe
my family. I usually buy my
shoes in dozen lots, and the last
merchant I purchased of threw in
a shoe butt-oner. But things are
getting easier My boy gets near¬
ly as much as I do, and two girls
work here, too.” Every one in
the family is insured. The home
of this large family consists of six
rooms, a sitting room, a bed room,
and a kitchen down stairs and
three bedrooms on the second
flour. Mrs. Moore said they “had
to sleep pretty close, but three
worked at night, so it wasn’t so
bad.” Five large beds are in the
house, besides numerous trundle
beds.
