The farmers along the Geor¬ gia railroad from Atlanta to Augusta and its branches are seriously debating the question of taking up tobacco as a moil ey crop, A recent trip over the main line from Atlanta to Craw fordville showed that the lands along tliis road are specially suit ed to growing the very best types of bright tobacco. From Covington to Rutledge the lands are almost identical with those around Winston, in North Carolina, where the fin¬ est tobacco in the state is grown. There is a light-grayish top soil with a subsoil low enough down to mal e the very finest types of yellow tobacco. The forest growth also iudicates that this section will produce the very best tobacco that ; be , grown. can Fhereis undergrow th ,, of ,, hard , an woods, which are always found ou the best tobacco lands. Tn the immediate vicinity of Social Circle the lands are es¬ pecially tobacco lands of the highest type, and the cotton growers there, who are now making $30 00 worth of cotton to the acre, could easily $125.00 worth of tobacco. have never seen finer tobacc lands aDy where in the Carolin as than in the section ately around Social Circle. Passing Greensboro we come into anothei very line type of soil for bright tobacco, which reaches a high degree of fertili¬ ty at Crawfordville. In the Crawfordville section the farm ers will find that tobacco will flourish and the average land in that section, with proper cul¬ tivation , will produce from $100 to $150 worth of tobacco per acre. It is very likely that to bacco will be taken up by farm¬ ers in this section the next sea as a money crop. There are many readers of the Southern Tobacco Journal working worn-out lands in the Carolinas, w r ho would find that a change to the sections above described would be very benefi These lands along the Georgia Railroad have never been planted in tobacco. They are Q6W laDdS f ° 1 ' thiS C10P> Thfc lauds are low iu h rice and very easily cultivated, and will pro easily from 900 to 1200 of tobacco per acre. They are similar to the best to b.icco lands along the Atlantic coast line in South Carolina. A few wide-awake farmers would find a harty welcome among the farmers along the Georgia railroad, as they a;e anxious to learn about the tobacco crop. Lands can bo bought at low prices, or they can.be leased on reasonable terms. Southern Tobacco Journal. Winston, N. C. July 3rd, 1899. Little Lapses at Table, Oftentimes one wishes that the rules of table etiquette be daily rehearsed, It seems absurd, and yet observation teaches us how necessary that t j je no t ’s be enforced and re Do „ not use a spoon £ or knife , when fork - . will ... do. a Do not elevate fruit or any th'ug else to the mouth w’ith a knife.

Tihe Local Paper, Every thoughtful man whose observation of men and things is valuable, every man who has been obliged to rely upon him¬ self for advancement, whose as¬ piration has been high enough ana his will strong enough to advance himself.every man who recognizes the ladder by which he climed and is not ashamed to acknowledge he was once at the bottom rung, has a good word for the home paper, the country newspaper, which is the barometer ot business and the artery through which it is increased atid kept alive. The late Judge David Davis, of the United States supreme court, expiessed this opinion that he had won his highest honors, says the Logansport Journal; “Each year every local pa¬ per gives from $500 to $1,000 in free lines for the benefit of the community in which it is loca¬ ted. No other paper can or will do this. The editor, in proportion to his means, does more for his town than any other man, and with all his fairness, man with man, he ought to lie supported, not be ( ause you may like him or nd mire his writing, but because the local newspaper is the best advertisement a town can have. It may not bo r-rmvdid with great thoughts but financially it is more of a benefit than both preacher and teacher, Today the editors of local papers do more for less pay than any oth er men on earth, Pat rorfize your local piaper not as charit) but as an investment.”—Ex, IN MEHORIAM. Last Frida v aftcrn °° [i at 3 °’ - cloek ( aftera long and painful illness, death claimed one of the best and most highly respected women of the community in whichsheliPed The subject of this sketch, Mrs. Zippora A Oglesby, daugh¬ ter of Capt. James G. and Eliz¬ abeth Cooper, was born in this, then Newton county, Ga., Dec. 1860, and died at her home in Sheffield district, this county, Aug. 4. 1899. On Dec. 24th, 1882, she was united in mar¬ riage to Robert L Oglesby, Ei-q. R H Cannon officiating. Sin was the mother of several obii dren, four boys and three girls NO. 31. The oldest is about fifteen year# and the youngest only a fern mynlhs old, all of whom serviv# her. Asa devoted wife, a loving mother and a good kind neigh¬ bor, she was ^ model. None but those who-came in contact with Ik r knew her many vir¬ tues as the was one of thoso re¬ tiring, utnissugiing persona whom ) 0 u li ad to know well to appreciate. Her whole desire and prayer to God during her illness was that her life might be spared, not from a selflsn motive, but that eh* might raise he*’ children and shape their characters for tho right, as none but a mother can do. But tho call camo and we can but submit to Ilia will Who doeth all things well. The funeral service was held in Bethel church, this county* conducted by the Rev, D A Brindle, after which her mortal remains were laid to rest in tHO cemetery at that place- We can truthfully say that the bereav<* cd relatives have the of all good people. May her children bo brought up to b« good and useful men and worn eu - wll,ch wa8 the greatest de¬ sire of their . mother’s heart, and when they are called from this ' vo,, id may they bo a reunited ori t,1G beautiful shore* of the bright beyond without the loss of one. She lias gained the heavenly re¬ gion ; ■She IniM touched the heavenly ghore; Blessed thought! no hostile legion Can alarm or trouble more; Far beyond the reach of foes, now dwells in sweet repose.
