W’e get the Following timely ar
lT .
tide from the Wallen News and
Messenger, and if every farmer in
Rockdale could read and accept it
at ils face value, it would enrich
them many hundreds of dollars in
the end. We hope that, our farm¬
ers will give this question due
thought. When t hey a ,r nke to the
importance of hay-saving they will
have made another long stride on
tin road to independence. The
News and Messenger says:—
4 4 Farmers in the South should
make and save all the hay they can
this season. It is evident that in
the We t the hay crop is going to
be a short one. And there will
be such an abundance of corn as
there usually is. Corn and lmv
Infill will command a high price in
the near future.
The South is a good customer of
the West for both hay and corn.
For all they buy of these crops
from this time until the corn mid
, lmy harvest next year t.lmv , will . ,1
have to pay high prices. The ag
ricutural commissioners of the dif¬
ferent states of the Middle Wo*t
which are afflicted by the drought,
are telling the farmers to save all
the hay they can and to sow for an¬
other hay crop this year. They see
that hard times are ahead for the
drought afflicted section of the
West.
The West will have very little,
if any, hay for the South this year
If it consents to part with any of
its hay it will lie because it will be
o fie red an extraordinarily high
price for it. But there is no good
reason why the South should con¬
tinue to be dependant on the West

for hay. or even for corn, It can
produce all it wants of both of
these products. In order to do so
however, it must give more att/n
tion to them.
Monroe gets a large amount of
hay from the West. And yet there
are native grasses in this county
which makes excellent hay. Every
farmer in the vicinity of this city
should save all the hay hecangath
er on his farm. It will pay him
to do so. Unless till sign= fail the
price of hay is going to be so high
that comparitively few will be able
to pay it—that is the price of Wes
tern hay. They will turn natural
iy to the homesupply. If that i°
a m pie it is probable that the price
of hay in this immediate locality
will not advance a great deal, but
there will be a market at a good
price for all that will be grown in
this section of the state.
A great many Southern farmers
think it small business to cut the
grass from their wheat field or po¬
tato patches for the purpose of
making hay of it, but, it the Wes¬
tern drought turns out to be as bad
as it now promises to be, they will
think that the hay business is a
pretty big one.”

WEEKLY - BANNER-
A Complete Apology.
A prominent official at Tabrecz
in the course of an altercation with
an English gentleman called his ad
versary a liar. The result was a
challenge, which seemed to the Per
sian preposterous.
“I fight?” said he. “What shall 1
fight for ? I only called him a liar.”
“Well,” said the gentleman who
took the note to him, “lie says you
will have to fight him. There is no
way of getting out of it. It will
never do to call an English gentle
man a liar.”
“But I say I won't fight,” replied
the other.
“Then you must apologize.”
“Apologize! What does lie mean
by apologizing?” all back and
“Why, take it sav
you are sorry you called him a liar.
That is what it means.”
“Is that all?” replied the Persian. I’ll
“Of course I’ll apologize. say
whatever he wishes me to say. I
lied when I called him a liar, lam
a liar, the son of a liar and the
Ti o CO s. What more does
lie want B O say?”—“Persia and
Persians.”
"How Deep Does the Earth Quake?
At Virginia City, Nev., the great
earthquake of 1879 was not noticed
by the miners in the deeper portions
of the Comstock mines. The fa¬
mous earthquake at the sameplacc in
1S74, which shook down chimneys,
fire walls, etc., and cracked every
brick building in the city, was mere¬
ly noticed by some of the miners
working in the “upper levels,” but
did them no damage, not even shak¬
ing down loose rocks and earth. The
station men in the various shafts
folt - t s t ro ugest, and the deepest
point where it was noticed was by
the ninth station man, who was on
watch at the 900 foot level, which
is, of course, 900 feet below the sur¬
face. He said it felt like a faint
throb or pulsation of air, as though
n blast had been fired above, below
or in some indefinite direction. In
some of the Virginia City mines
shock was not felt at all, not even
by station men in the shafts.
