The West and Southwest have been greatly afflicted this sea son with storms. Only a couple of weeks ago Wisconsin was via ited by terribly destructive clones, and now Texas is suffer¬ ing from floods, the result of extraordinarily heavy rain storms. It is impossible as yet tofomi any accurate estimate of the damage which the Hoods have done, but it is known that many lives have been lost, and property destroyed amounting to millions of dollars. It is roughly estimated that the dam age of property is fully $5,000. 000. For 1,000 mile: along the valleys of the Big and Little Brazos rivers and the Gauda loupe and Lower Colorado riv¬ ers the farms are from five to twenty feet under water, The cotton, tobacco and corn are en¬ tirely destroyed in these valleys and many thousands of cattle have been drowned. The rail¬ roads also have suffered severe ly. It is said that tiie Lack of one of the roads for a distance of 100 miles has been complete¬ ly washed away, and it is known that 400 county bridges and 250 railroad bridges have been swept away It is hard for farmers to have the results cf their season’s work completely destroyed. Many of them have lost not only their crops but their stock and farm buildings as well. No doubt the majority of them are very poor people, and it will take them years to get. back to the degree of prosperity they en¬ joyed when overtaken by the rains and floods. It is too late for replanting this season and tlio great majority of the suffer¬ ers will no doubt have gicat cl if ficulty in finding means of liv¬ ing until the crop of next year is gathered and sold,-Ex OASTOHIA.

Now if her example is a stimu¬ lus to other Georgia towns, an inspiration for good, we feel that she is accomplishing her noblest purpose. If every south ein imin, and every southern town will stand together, shoul¬ der to r.houlder for the common '* elfare of tiie south, our future in the world is already written in letters of gold-Wi lton wm To PATENT Good Ideas may be secured by our aid. Address, tHE PATENT RECORD, 6ubKrtpdeni to TUt Pateot Rtcord EPIGRAMS, It is a greaf mistake never to make one: a great misfortune never to be unhappy, Death is not the greatest ill, life not the greatest good, hap¬ piness not the noblest end. The greatest ill is to die with¬ out having lived, the greatest good to live only after having died; the nobleBt end to fulfill one’s part. In the furnace gold is melted, clay is hardened. The largest planet has its sun, the smallest, hair casts its shad ow. It is n question whether lifs was meant to be hard, it is cer¬ tain that we make it so. To be hardened the iron must first be softened. Health lives in the present, disease worries over the future. We should treat fortune as the fanner his wheelbarrow— push it from us when full, and only drag it behind us when empty. The surest way to leave hap¬ piness behind is to run after it. What do I learn from the nail? The farther ’tis hammer ed the firmer it holds. What do I learn from the candle? Even though turned down it still sends its flame up¬ ward. What do Hearn from the rose? Though its root is in dirt and mud, it yet sendeth forth grace and perfume. Shells we find on the beach, for pearls we must dive. The best remedy against an¬ noyance from small things is lo battle with great. In prosperity men ask too lit¬ tle of God, in adversity,- too much. I used to wonder at the strik¬ ing resemblance of some of the false religious to the tine, un¬ til I learned that the difference between the goose and the swan is only a few inches of neck—Ivan Panin.

A pound of these seed will t yield enough to plant a crop. The seed were tested in a list of thirty varieties l)y the Georgia Experiment Station and a bul letin recently issued by Director Redding 1 shows that the African Limbless Cotton produced 70 pounds more per acre than any other variety, and 161 pounds more per acre than the average of thirty leading varieties. The African Limbless Cotton produced 780 pounds of lint per acre, which is nearly four times the average on the farms of the South. T his shows what high fertilization and thorough cult ure will do with these excellent Seed. The value of the product, V counting .. cotton at . 5 , cents and seed at 13 cents a bushel, was over $45 per acre, The cost of fertilizers used was S4-.77 per acre. The Journal does not guarantee results, but the result of the test at the Experiment Station makes it worth a farmer’s while to test these seed when he can get them for nothing. • „ The Journal , , bungs . the you NEWS ok the World Twice a Week, with hundreds of articles of special interest about the farm, the ... household, , ,. juvenile topics, . . etc., and every Southern farmer should have the P a F cr ’ You don’t have to wait a week for the news, but get it twice as often as you do in the weeklies, which charge the same price.
