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.

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, His purpose v,. ‘ieipat* the action taken b„. 18, 1888, making avai 000 voted under the act March 2 , 1887.
