Mr. Editor: If you will give me space in your paper J will give your readers a few dots from this little -namesake of your capital city. I first saw the rays of God’s sun light six miles west of your beauti ful little city, in Broomtown valley. I left Chattooga for this place in Dec. ’76, but have not forgotten a great many of her good people, beau tiful valleys, springs and picturesque scenery. I noticed in your paper of the 19th hist., "A Bale to Every Acre,.” Ev ery word under that heading is ab solutely tr ie, and the quicker the Southern people adopt that system of farming the better it will be for them. Last winter one of our na tional banks offered one hundred dol lars to the man that would raise the moat cotton per acre, and the same amount to the one raising the most corn per acre. A good many farm ers are contesting for the prizes, and the result is a good many acres of Die finest cotton and corn ever seen in this county, notwithstanding the hot wave and Mr. 801 l Weevil. We have here a Fruit and Truck growers Association which raises Irish potatoes, peaches and other pro duce for the Northern markets. The peach crop was a total failure this year, have a fine corn crop and a moderately good crop of other produce raised hero. Tin first bale of cotton sold in At lanta the 17th Inst., for 12 5-lfic and $23 premium, a year's subscription to each of our papers. The hustling early bird gets best worm most gen erally. Cast county and Northeast Texas is a good country and has many good things in and under her soil, not yet developed, but is not supe rior i.i any way to Chattooga and North Georgia.

Chicago experts have discovered a disease called '"mythomania.” In oth er qarters it is called plain lying, but that does not sonud half as interest ing or scientific. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach tile diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness and that is Ly constitution al remedies. Deafness is caused by an iruflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rum bling sound, or Imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deaf ness is the result, and unless the in f lama (ion can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi tion, hearing will be destroyed for ever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Cata.rh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

EEMINOLE We have had some extremely hot, and dry weather and the corn and cotton is damaged a great deal; we cannot say just what per cent. The protracted meeting at Sardis has closed with eleven additions to the church —6 by experience and 5 by letter. Rev. W. M. Griffitt was very faithful in preaching, and dis charged his duty as pastor, I think, , in every particular. There was a t good deal of interest at the close . of the services Sunday. , We had a very nice shower of rain last Saturday afternoon. Some , are pulling fodder and others are saving hay. Mr. T. A. Gayler has cut a fine lot of peavines for hay. Mr. . Dayton Pledger has cut down some • of his corn that he did not get to • work. Cotton is opening prematurely on account of the dry, hot weather we ■ have had. There has not been much lay bye time this year with farmers of our community. There is still late corn that was planted in July and tlie first of August that would be i better with another plo.wing. Now is a busy time with farmers ; and many are not able to pull their fodder on account of sickness. A great many are chilling. Mr. Turner i has moved his family to the foot of tlie mountain to get rid of the chills . and malaria. There is a big pond ; of water near Mr. Turner's on J. R. Henderson’s land that is the cause ■ of the sickness there. But Mr. Hen derson is going to have it. ditched off then 1 hope they will quit chilling. There was a great many friends and relatives at the funeral and burial of Mrs. J. 11. Hill last Wednesday. Surely a good woman has gone to rest. She has been in bad health a long time but suffering is now over and she is at rest. Mrs. Steel, who lived just below l ore in Alabama died Sunday and was buried Monday. G. A. RAGLAND. MONTVALE. Rev.

Head Office: Rome, Ga. —— GEORGIA’S COTTON CROP REDUCED BY DROUTH. Atlanta, Ga. —Reports from middle and North Georgia indicate that exces sive drouth and heat of the past fort night have appreciably damaged cot i ton in those sections, and that as a j result there will be a reduction rang ing from 15 to 30 per cent in the yield. South Georgia has also felt the de teriorating effects of recent weather ! conditions, though not to the same ex tent as the middle and upper portions of the state, for the reason that in ! the former section the crop was i practically made up half a month ago with the exception of what is known as the top crop. Assistant Commissioner of Agri ; culture Robert F. Wright, explained I this untoward weather and its effects as follows: "Some two weeks ago our cotton had reached that stage where it ma terially needed rain. .Tune, July and the first of August had been a very wet season. The cotton was full of sap. It had put out a great deal of extra growth which needed moist ure to take care of it. Then the sky turned cloudless and the sun beat down mercilessly upon the parched fields. As a result the crop has been hurt, to just what extent. I would not undertake to estimate.” There are three growths of cotton ■ One of these is at the bottom of the stalk and matures earliest. Then comes the middle and the top growth one above the other which mature la tter, the top growth being last. This is the portion of the crop which has suffered most. As a result of the foregoing situa tion together with the decreased cot ton acreage, it is predicted that Geor gia’s crop will be cut down this year trom 15 to 20 per cent, though this estimate is in no sense authorative. Various calculations place Georgia’s shoitage in number of bales this sea son from 200.000 to 400.000. Last season the state produced 2,026,000 bales. i reduction will be evidently in the amount of money Georgia receives this year for the crop. For cotton has been around 12 cents and may go still higher while last year it reached only 8 1-2 and 9 cents. ■ This increase in price'is due in part i to the reduction in acreage. Some- i lung like 4.000,000 acres were plant- i ed last spring which represents a < de<-rcase es about 6 per cent. This ’ fact together with the present damage i to tile crop and conditions over the 1 lulled States at large have worked < together to raise the price of the i great staple, and to hold it firm with 1 a prospect of increase. s i There are many tonics in the land. As by the papers you can see; But none of them can equal Hollister’s Rocky Mountain Tea. —Summerville Drug Co. Mrs. Fleming Mobley, At Menlo, Ga., on August 16th, 1909, after a long illness was called from earth to the ‘‘Home of many Mansions” to be forever with the Lord. How true it is that death loves a shining mark. She was loved by ■ all on account of her kind and lov ing disposition, these qualities made her a great favorite. In early life she gave her heart to God and joined the Presbyterian church. She lived a sweet, helpful devoted life. On account of her I death a cloud of sorrow hangs over 1 cur church and community. She leaves a husband and several chil dren and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her loss. W e ex tend to the bereaved ones our deep est sympathy and in Christian love point them to that only source from which cometh our help. We thank God that even though that sweet . voice has been hushed, though those dear hands have been folded to rest, the influence of that beautiful life shall live through eternity. ‘“Some day, some time, our eyes shall see the faces kept in memory.” MRS.
