Dennis, Eatonton, Ga., writes as follows touching the time to dig and the manner of saving sweet potatoes: “Most E eoplo wait until the vinos are itten by frost. I know that is a general rule, but will not always hold good. For instance, last Reason after frost it was so wot that sweet potatoes had to bo dug when the soil was too wet to do such work, and most everybody lost their potatoes. 1 always dig when the potatoes are ripe and when the soil is dry, haul up and bank in a bouse, putting straw over them, and let them stand for a week or more then cover with corn stalks and dry sand or dirt, and i hardly ever fail to have potatoes the year round.” Words Fitly Spoken. President Northen in his tino ad dress before the State Agricultur al Society at its nu eting at Ce- dartown last Tuesday paid the following just tribute to the late Judge F. C, Furman, of Baldwin county: Taking sixty-tive acres of worn, Middlo Georgia land, fairly rep resenting all sections of the state, under usual methods, Mr. Furman the lirst year, produced eight bales of cotton, or one bale to eight acres. The second year under Intelligent improvement, he gathered twelve bales—an in crease of fifty per cent, over the first year’s production. The third year, under still more progress, be gathered twenty-four bales—an increase of ono hundred per cent over the immediately preceding year. The fourth year he gathered forty-eight bales, an increase again of one hundred per cent upon the preceding year. The fifth year, the one immediately before Mr. Furman’s death, be gathered eighty-eight bales, or just one thousand per cent in crease over the work of the first year. No bank, or syndicate, or trust, stretching its greedy extor tion to its most wicked tension, can beat that record on worn, Georgia land that averages three dollars and twenty eight cents per acre. Tell me, are the resources of a Georgia farm, as found in such land, at such prices, with such possibilities, valuable? If so, that element of success is fixed and we are ready to proceed to the next. But, says the chronic croaker Mr. Furman died before he gave to the world the cost, of this splen did experiment. So he did. He did not die before he settled be yond all question the magnificent possibilities of our soil, as lie un covered the splendid riches of our inheritance. Whatever marvelous production Georgia may yield, it cannot now he said to ho isolated and sectional. In the presence of this magnificent experiment and in honor to the memory of the grand man who made it the world now knows “there is life in the old land yet.” Progress. It is very important in this age of vast material progress that a remedy be pleasing to the taste and to the eye, easily taken, acceptable to the stomach and healthy in its nature and effects. Possessing these qualities, Syrup of Figs is the one perfect laxa tive and most gentle diuretic known. Brother farmer have you ever thought of tlio embarrassments that your wifo undergoes through the want of conveniences about her home, that you might arrange by spending a littlo time and forethought? Have you ever thought that your wife doos as important work on the farm as you do, and her strength often is moro sovorolv tuxedj tliftt if her hands are hard and rough, it is much your fault by not pro viding her with homo convenien ces that you should? I do not think it is because men do not care for their families that they aro careless in regard to homo conveniences, hut it is from a neglect of study as to what con veniences aro necessary for the comfort and prosperity of his wifo and family; wlmt convenien ces ho could arrange to make her homo attractive, pleasant and lovely. Wo have seen farmers very careful to have good fences around their farms, while the yard fence is so shackly it will not turn stock of any kind, which causes the already over taxed wifo many a wearied hour. Not only this, hut it gives the homo such an uncomely appoarance, that the wifo shudders at tho thought of visitors. How often have you rode to town and spent a half day or perhaps a wholo day without any business whatever just simply to see and ho seen, that you should have spent in building a fonco. I have seen farmors spond ono or two days a week at town, start early and stay so late you could not discorn who they were, who had not oven i rail around the house to keep stock from tho door; and yet they would tell you they did not have time to spare from tho farm to ild a yard fence. But perhaps you have a yard fence; tliero is tho rout gate, if a gate it may bo called- nopped and barred to keep it up ind to perform its. gateship. How can the wife moot her lady visi tors with that grace and pleasant ness of expression, that is required to make tho visitor fool that lier vis it was appreciated when she lias to lift and remove a half dozen rails from the gate before her visitor can enter, when you that very morning had strolled over to a neighbor’s to spond a little friendly chat, which time, if spoilt in making a gate, would have put a nice gato well hung with a good latch to fasten it? But this b not all; after the gate embarress ment is over and the visitor ii taken into tho house, the next thing that seizes the poor wife’s mind is the “dinner.” No con veniences for cooking; no water handy, no wood, a hot kitchen to cook in; but tho poor woman with a bowildorod step goes forth to arrange up her hospitalities. But having no wood, she calls her husband to get some, which he does in liaste, getting a few green split poplar sticks which make more smoko than heat; tho dinner is sorrily cooked, when the day you spent a fishing should have been spent in preparing good dry wood. But at a late hour dinner is announced, and mark the sad countenance of the wife as her guest is seated at the table. Laboring under great em barrassment she acts awkward ly which lowers her in tho estimation of her visitor, makes the dinner flat and the visit an unpleasant ouo. Would you ho astonished to hear that lady say to her family, ou returning homo that she did not wonder at you always saying that you was behind and out of heart for you had such a poor help mate; she was so slow and awk ward, and tho poorest kind of a cook, all because you aro un thoughtful and neglect to arrange things conveniently. But give your wife all needed homo con veniences, a nice yard fence, a nice gato, nice walks, Hower beds, a nice house, a well arranged kitchen, a good milk house, a good garden, plenty of water handy, a good stove, good wood and it handy. She could meet her lady visitors with an expres sion ol welcome, having none of those embarrassments; slio could treat her guest with politeness and could serve up a dinner in nice order and in dispatch. After she has her dinner on tho table she beholds it, and it is nice; din ner is announced and as they sit down to tho table, an inward in nocent pride beams out through her bright choorfnl face, which sweetens the occasion and which will haunt tho visitor in after days, and your wife gets the name of an industrious and a pie as ant 1J lady. Study to make your homo con venient; by so doing you could arrango. many little things that time nor space will admit to speak of now, that your wife would thank you for; and one expres sion of thanks from a loving wifo is worth moro than a wholo day of-idleness. • Remember your farm is your kingdom over which you reign supreme, your house is your palace; give it all the beauty and conveniences that are neces sary to make it worthy of tho name, and your wife will keop it with queenly grace.—T.

Senator Boyd, chairman of the joint committee to bring in a bill for the construction of good public roads, brought in an important measure as the result of the deliberations of the committee. It provides for the commutation tax of Ilfty cents a day in lieu of road working, which is not to exceed six days in the year. This road duty and commutation tax is to supplemented by an ailva- lorem tax sufficient to raise a sum equal to the road capitation tax. This being limited to six days, or three dollars a head, the total of the advulorem tax will be equal to three dollars a poll or less. In a county where there are 4,000 polls, the ed- valorem tax will aggregate $12,000, and the commutation tax and labor estimated at fifty cents a day will bo equal to $12,000 more. Thus the road fund of a county having 4,000 polls will in cash or its equivalent, i amount to $34,000 or less. The limit | being so low the commissioners will | probuly ussess the full limit, so the total road fund will in most instances amount to $0 a poll. The county commissioners, or ordi- i nary, where are no commissioners, ' shall have charge of tho road working i of the county and shall appoint road commissioners for each road district as now provided. These commission ers are to have the present power of such officers in the trial and punish ment of defaulters. They shall select 1 road overseers annually and shall have tiie power to remove them wt pleasure. The overseers are to be paid $1 a j day for the time they are actually at work. The district commissiouers are to make returns to the county commisioners of the number of men subject to road duty and tho num ber of miles of road to be \rork- 1 ed in their several districts, and upon theBe returns the commis sioners are to assess the number of bay’s work, not to exceed six days i» the year. The overseer shall summon to work on the roads such a number of hands as can be worked to advantage, and if any of them offer commutation tax of fifty cents a day he shall receive it and summon other hands in tliefr places until he has the requisite num ber, and shall so proceed until he has worked the number of days re quired by the commissioners. When the number of days or road duty as sessed by the county authorities have been exhausted the overseers shall employ such hands and work tho j roads such an additional time as the county commissioners may direct. In summoning hands due regard is to be given tp placing them ou the roads near their places of residence, but their road duty shall not lie limited to any one road. The working of misdemeanor con victs on the roads is also provided for. It shall lie lawful to work them oil roads in counties which have organi zed chuingangs, and where there are no such organizations a county may hire out its convicts to another coun ty and after paying tho fines, costs and expenses of their conviction, the remainder of the money arising from the hire shall go into the road fund of the county whence they lauie— Athens Chronicle.
