Do Good Always.
As you go out to-day make some¬
body’s heart glad. It M ill not take
much to do this. A smile will do
it. A kind word will do it. A
hearty shake of the hand will do
it. A penny to some poor beggar
will do it. Don’t wait for some
great opportunity to do good. Be
content to labor in the vineyard
in the small way. The little foun¬
tain bubbling up at the foot of the
hill makes no noise. It glides
silently along, making the meadow
green, slaking the thirst of the
farm horse—it nourishes the nod¬
ding flowors growing./,) fis banks,
and wat^rxile roots of spreading
Li 1 ST Day and night it goes on
in its meandering course spread¬
ing beauty aud fertility over a
wide scope of country. It does
not thunder and excite the amaze¬
ment of the world, yet it is doing
a very useful work. Ho let your
daily influence be like that little
quiet stream. Bo as a garden full
of fragrance. Be as the bank of
music creating gladness all around.
Make it a point every day to help
somebody. Be cheer and light to
your neighbors.
Experiment Station
The bill which provides for the
establishment of the experiment
station and an experimental farm
to be known as “The Georgia Ex¬
perimental Station,” was passed by
the Senate Thursday. The bill
was drawn by Hon. Martin Y. Cal¬
vin, of Richmond. It was sub¬
mitted to the Committee of Agri¬
culture, of which Mr. Calvin has
been an active member the past
six years. It was fully discussed,
then submitted to a sub-committee.
It was reported favorably by the
latter, whereupon the general
committee, by a unanimous vote,
adopted the bill as its own, and
directed Chairman Brady to in¬
troduce it in the House as the
committee's bill. It passed the
Houso on Monday after a protrac¬
ted debate; ayes, 118; nays, 4.
The bill provides for a Board of
Directors—one from each Con¬
gressional district, to Vie appoint¬
ed by the Governor. The appon
tees are to be practical farmers.
The Chancellor of the University
of Georgia and a member of the
faculty of the State College of
Agriculture, (the latter to be amiu
t By designated by the Governor)
are made members ox-officio.
Under the bill donations of sites
may bo accepted; and, in locating’
the station, tho Board will be
governed by centrality, healthful
ness, adaptability of soil for ex¬
perimental purposes. The scien¬
tific part of the station can ho lo¬
cated at one point and the practi¬
cal part, the farm, at another, or
both at the same place. The bill
places the station under the man¬
agement and direction of the farm
ers for whoso especial benefit
Congress voted the annual ap
propnation 1 iron vi at inn of Ot V. *15 Io,UUU. 000
Mr. Calvin lias devoted a great
deal of time and thought to the
subject matter of the bill and to
the great interest the appropria¬
tion is designed to aid and ad¬
vance. In the fall of 1K87, Mr.
Calvin pressed upon the House
the necessity r‘ -----a similar
bill, practiea. same bill,
