A writer in the Atlanta Con¬ stitution presents an interesting article on “Oil m Southwest Geor¬ gia,” the article bfliDg inspired by the recent discovery of abun¬ dant indications of the existence of petroleum oil in this immediate ■ection of the state, at a depth of about 900 feet. The writer in the Constitution notes the fact that the artesian wel 1 now being bored in Albany brought to the surface a substance that was unquestionably crude petro* leum, but owing to the fact that the object in sinking the well was to find water, not oil, the matter has not been deffinitely settled. The writer discuses at some length the geological formations in Ala¬ bama and Georgia, calling atten¬ tion to the fact that certain Strata to be found nowhere else in the southeastern states exist in cer taiu'parts of Alabama and Flori¬ da, and in Stewart, Terrell Dougherty, Baker and Decatur counties, Georgia being more pronounced in Dougherty than elsewhere. It is the writer’s opin¬ ion that the oil which will finally be brought to the surface in this section come from the Alabama coal fields, moving in the direc¬ tion of the sea through the blue marl stratum, the existence of which in this section ha* been conclusively demonstrated. Ef¬ forts to locate the oil reservoirs near the coal fields have failed, and it is reasonable to suppose, therefore, that they will be found between the fields and the coast. At any rate, a great many persons feel satisfied that it is only a question of a short time wh«« Southwest Georgia will have a gusher of the first class.—Albany Herald. Clerk’s Wi*« S#ffe*tlos. “I have lately been much troubled with dyspepsia, belchiug and sour Btomach,” writes Mrs. M. 8. Mead, leading pharmacist of Attleboro, llass. “I oould eat hardly any thing without suffering several hours, My clerk suggested that I try Kodal Dyspepsia Cure which I did with most happy results. I have had no more trouble and when one can go to eating mince pie, cheese, candy and nuts after well a time, their digestion must be pretty good.

The following epigrammatical periods are from President Por¬ ter. Yale College: “Young men, you are the architects of your own fortunes. Rely on your own strength of body and soul. Take for your star self-reliance, In scribe on your banner: ‘Luck is a fool. Pluck is a hero.’ Don’t take too much advice. Keep at the helm and steer your own ship, and remember that the art of commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Think well of yourftelf. Strike out. Assume your own position. Put potatoes in a cart, go over a rough road, and the small ones go to the bot¬ tom. Rise above the envious and jealous. Fire above the mark you intend to hit. Energy, in¬ vincible determination, with a right motive, are the levers that move the world. Don’t swear. Don’t deceive. Don’t marry un¬ til you can support a wife. Be civil. Read the papers. Adver¬ tise y*ur business. Make money and do good with it. Lor# your God and f#llow men. Love truth and virtue. Love your country and obey its laws.” Favorite Nearly Evfcr/WRere.

The Bale of commercial fertili¬ zers is generally regarded as an indicator of what the cotton crop or acrekge is going to be. Large sales are taken to indicate a large acreage, or vice versa. Here in Georgia the system adopted by the Commissioner of Agriculture for the inspection and tagging of fertilizers sold in the state is such that he can estimate pretty closely by the first of Feb¬ ruary what the amount of fertili¬ zers to be used f#r the year’s crop will be. We see it stated from Atlanta that so far th# sales of guano are 60,OtX) tons behind the sales this time last year. Ac¬ cordingly Mr. Stevens thinks there will not be as much com¬ mercial fertilizers used this year as usual. As most of the commercial fer¬ tilizers bought by the farmers are u#ed for cotton, the indications seeui to be that there is to be a reduction of the cotton acreage this year.—Albany Herald. Mr. Wheeler Got Rid of Hit Rheumatism. “During the winter of 1898 I was so lame in my joints, in fact all over my body, that I could hardly hob¬ ble around, when I bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm.

W. arris on, fPrcs. \ £, ZBostwick, Cashier, 5 Vf j{. Crosby, jtss’t Caahier, It is the opinion of the Buena Vista Patriot that the time is not far distant when “cotton seed will not sell at less than 50 cents per bushel, and perhaps higher. When that day comes farmers can affort to sell all their cotton seed except for planting purposes, pro¬ vided they keep up the fertility of their lands by planting peas. Then by building up their lands to a bale to the acre, and less acreB and restricting production to nine or ten million bales, cot¬ ton will always bring 10 to 12 cents and the seed from a bale $15 to $20, making an acre of land produce from $(»5 to $75. This is no fancy picture, and will come in the next few years if farmers will only reduce acreage.” There is no doubt but that cotton seed is soon destined to play a very important part in the commercial world, and in the main the Patriot’s proposition is correct.
