Come unto me all ye who are
clean and respectful and have plen
ty of money and a nice home, and I
will give you in exchange for it a
blasted life, a red nose, bleared eyes,
a wretched body, a cursed soul. I
will break the heart of your wife, am
send your children to the poorhouse,
or orphanage, or on the street to
follow your steps. Take my yoke
upon you and learn of me. for my
yoke is galling, and hard
bear. You can pretend to drown all
your trouble in my flowing river of
liquors, but when you come to your
self. all of them will be on top as
dead weights to drag you deeper.
To those who have left my ranks:
return unto me and I will return and
enter your heart and I will make you
harder in sin than you ever were in
all your life. —Selected.

four hams here a month or so ago,
and they were fine. Have you any
more of them?”
“Yes, ma’am,” replied the grocer.
“There are ten of those hams hang

“Well, if you re sure they’re off
the same pig I will take three of
them,’’ replied the young wife meek

HERE IS A CORN CLUB BOY
WHO IS AUTHOR AND ARTIST.
(Atlantta Journal)
John Barry Hutchins, Jr., of Sum
merville, Chattooga county, Georgia,
is here for the Georgia corn show,
and believes that his report on his
acre ought to take the prize, for its
is an elaborate scrap book, giving a
complete history of the acre, the
planting and the yield, together with
facts concerning the author, appro
priate quotations, and a number of
pen drawings, cartoons, decorations
and kodak snapshots.
Young Hutchins is a fine type of
the new generation of progressive
Georgia farmers —strong and clean
cut of body, intelligent, educated,
hungry for knowledge, alert for new
ideas in modern agriculture.
He is president of the Chattooga
County Boys’ Agricultural club; pres
ident of the Chelsea School Boys ag
ricultural club; weakly contributor
to the Summerville News, and invent
or and patentee of a folding bucket
which is sure to find a ready sale
when he puts it on the market.
The history of his acre consi is of
seven chapters. The first deals with

his selection of ground, with maps
and diagrams, showing the shape,
drainage, etc. The second deals with
the soil and previous crops. The thirc
deals with the horses and implements
used in cultivation, being illustrated
with a kodak snapshot of the Hutcn
■ ins barn and stock. The fourth deols
with the preparations for planting
The fifth deals with planting and fer-
tilization. The sixth deals with ex '
penses of cultivation. The seventh '
deals with the gathering of the crop. !
In addition to these detailed re
ports there is a calendar showing the
days of rainfall, an itemized account
of expenditures and receipts, and a
great many other interesting facts
concerning the acre, the Hutchins
farm, Chattooga county, Georgia, corn
growing, etc.
In all, the scrap hook contains fif
ty-two pages. Each page is decorat
ed with a border and with drawings,
sketches, scrolls and quotations in a
variety of colors. The book is neat
ly and substantially bound, and tied
with white, yellow and pink ribbon.
The accompanying picture is a
reproduction of one of the cartoons
drawn by the author, who has quite
a talent in this line. It represents
the corn club boys of Georgia being
attracted by the magnet of the corn
show.
A woman wine taster in France is
said to earn nearly $25,000 a year, as
her services are in great demand.
It is estimated $7,240,000 will be re
quired to start the new parcels post
service and that the entire postal
service for 1913 will require $282,805,-
760.
