CONYERS, GA., SATURDAY, OCT. 5, 1895.
From A Georgian.
A Letter From Prof. James luCleM
Alvarado, Texas, Sept. 25’95.
Capt. J. B. Beese,
Dear Comrade : I arrived at
my destiny on Tuesday morning
after I left your town on Friday.
I found everything all right and
went to work the same day.
From Atlanta to Birmingham
I found crops good, especially
com ; cotton very good. From
Birmingham to Memphis the
crops, neither com nor cotton,
were so good. From Memphis
to Little Rock crops were much
better. From Little Rock to
Texarkana corn is fine ; cotton
sorry. From Texarkana to Dal
both corn and cotton are
much better. Cotton is not good
for Texas. Here in this (John¬
son) county, com is fine and sell¬
ing for 15, 17 and 20 cents per
bushel—as flue corn as can be
raised anywhere.
This is all prairie land. Timber
only on water courses, and they
are not near each other. The
soil is deep and black,
when it rains, is so sticky
can hardly get along, neither in
buggies nor walking. I have
seen the wheels of vehicles as
solid as if they had been sawed
from a log.
The health of the people is
generally good. I haven’t heard
of any chills since I have been
here. We can’t get a real good
drink of water here without put¬
ting ice in it. It is healthy wa¬
ter, only hot ; not near as cold
as the water iD old Georgia.
All the' merchants are looking
for a big trade this fall.
Good farm hands get $15 to
$20 per month.
I was talking today with a
gentleman who said he had land
that he would gather 75 bushels
of com per acre from. Land is
worth from $40 to $75 per acre.
This is a fine country for tak¬
ing buggy rides-, the country is
so level and roads so bard and
firm—when it dont rain. Tou
don’t see much driving when the
land is wet.
I will send you a little budget
of news occasionally.
Your friend,
J. M. McClelland.

The burden of labor is con¬
stantly being lightened by new
inventions, but nothing new has
yet been discovered to brighten
the hours of labor and make life
worth living like Siimnons Liv¬
er Regulator does. It’s the
King of LiverMedicines. A slug¬
gish liver depresses one’s spirits
and causes languor, besides up¬
setting-the whole system. But

Mr. Matt Maddox exhibited
in McDonough one day this
week some of the finest speci¬
mens of mica (or what is com¬
monly known as isinglass) we
ever saw. The sheets were
about 10 x 15, and perfectly
transparent, Mr. Maddox has
a large bed of it near Moseley’s
mill, in which is a large clear
rock weighing a thousand
pounds. This discovery was
made several years ago, but no
definite steps have yet been tak¬
en to develop the mine. When
done it is bound to prove of
great value.—Henry County
Weekly.
A newspaper lias at least
5,000 readers to 1,000 subscri¬
bers. A merchant who puts out
1,000 handbills gets
300 or 400 people to read
The handbills cost as much as a
good advertisement in his home
newspaper. All the women and
girls and half the men and boys

merchant who uses the uewspa
per has 4,500 more readers
There is no estimating the
amount of'business that adver
tising brings to a merchant, but
that each dollar invested brings
a good return there is no doubt.

An Advertiser man was shown
by Mayor Mustiu the other day
an ear of corn which is indeed a
wonderful freak of nature or a
new variety of maize, Every
grain on the cob is enclosed in a
miniature shuck, and it seems
to be an car within itself. The
corn was raised by old man Al
fred Watts, colored, one of Ool.
Mustin’s tenants on his Sliouse’s
hill place. He planted a grain
of corn which he found in a sack
of coffee, and this is the result,
Now, the question is, whether
is a freak or an established va
riety. The stalk contained two
ears just alike.—Madison Adver
tiser.
Quite a lively scene transpired
on the streets of Covington last
Tuesday evening. The partici¬
pants were a dun colored horse
and his determined driver. Just
as the horse walked up in front
of Mr. T. C. Swann’s store, and
apparently without any provo¬
cation whatever, began to feel
of the dashboard with his heels,
wnereupon the driver vacated
at once by falling out behind.
The horse continued to kick, and
the people were yelling ’and
whooping from all parts of
square. The horse had just
been swapped for, and was fresh
from the tender hands of the
gypsies.—Covington Star.
Now the southern farmer en¬
joys opportunities of improving
his home and surroundings, of
educating his children and of en¬
joying some of the pleasures of

Strictly speaking, cotton is an
ali the year crop. Sometimes a
fair crop is grown after early
grain, but a first class crop re¬
quires a year in the preparation,
cultivation and harwsiing. Not
so with the food crop. Two
crops may often be grown on
Lllre same ground and splendid
result obtained. Cotton should
only be grown as a suiplus crop

What use is there in eating
when food does you no good—
in fact, when it does you more
harm than good, for such is the
ease if it is not digested. If you ,
have a loathing for food there is
no use forcing it down, for it
will not be digested. You must
restore the digestive organs to
their natural strength and cause
the food to be digested when an
appetite will come, and with it
a relish for food. The tired, lan
guid feeling will give place to
vigor and energy, then you will
put flesh on your bones and be
come strong. The Shaker Di
gestive Cordial is niad.i by the '
Mount Lebanon Shakers con¬
tains food already digested and
is a digester of food as well. Its
action is prompt and its effects
permanent.

Are you taking Simmons Liver Req
ulator, the “King of Liver Medi
cines?” That is what our readers
want, and nothing but that. It is the
same old friend to which the old folks
pinned their faith and were never dis
appointed. But another good recom
mendation for it is, that it is better
than Pills, never gripes, never weak
ens, but works in such an easy and
natural way, just like nature itself, that
relief comes quick and sure, and one
feels new all over. It never fails.
Everybody needs take a liver remedy,
and everyone should take only Sim
mons Liver Regulator.
Be sure you get it. The Red n
is on the wrapper. J, H. Zeilin 8p
