Remember now the hog in the
■ <iv of crop planting, Mr. Farmer,
for ■i in the evil day com-th of
the boll rot, black root, blight, rust
c rpiilnrS and slumps in the - ot- f
ton market, he prove thy friend, i
burn not thy back upon him, for |
oe will richly repay his master s
even attention. He isonebulwark
of the farm, and the other two are]
hominy and hay- And the three
are invincible. Ably advises the
Albany Herald.
A GOOD PLANK.
The esteemed Early County
•■ews of the current wook says-
“A few days ago Air. V> . J. Bach
lor, of Lucile, killed a hog that
weighed net 529 pounds. Ho sold
the meat to Mr. J. I. Spoones for
the sum of Sl2 How is that for
one plank of the hog and hominy
picture, Brother Mclntosh?"’
That plank is alright. Brother'
Fleming. Let’s have more like it.
That hog brought its owner about
as much as a baleof cotton will sell
for in the market, and it is safe to
say that there was more clear prof
it in it than in any two bales of
tootton solri by Mr. Bachelor last
fall —Albany Herald
Mr W. J. Bachelor is cue of
Millet county's most exemplary
citizens. He and his family live
at home and board at the same
place.
Hog raising is an easy occupa
tion, Every farmer can and should
raise his own meat. This can be
done with just a little effort. Hog
cholera is !arg>*lv the result of care
are given clean quarters, plenty of
i'rt i’i water and are not allowed to
live in the mud holes and roam
over the country at will, catching
cholera rrom some filthy wallow ;
and bring ng it home, will l;ave|
very little to fear from the disease i
atrong the stock. If he can keep
the cholera away he can make
more money raising hogs than ho
can raising cotton - -Dublin Coif

OUR WORK NOTED.
The Liberal is standing up for
Colquitt and that town is prosper
ing every day. A good newspaper ]
run by- a beautiful woman is sure j
o build up a town. Quitman and ,
Americus for instance. —Baini
bridge Search Light.
Wo thank Hon. Ben E. Russell
for tnic kind reference; but we
better explain to our readers that
the gif ed genii m n lid not im a i
that ye scribe was personally “oeau
iiitii; (Fie is too high ton’d to
dea in flattery;) but that our ef
forts were beautiful. Bon E. Rus
sell has stimulated hundreds of
of Decatur’s boys and girls to no
bier efforts. Ho has been a pow
erful instrument in the develop
ment of the resources of South
-14 . £„ Georgia.
No one going to him for infor
mation or advice relative to the
perfecting of business enterprises
was turned aside.
Yes South-West Georgia especi-l
ally, has been made ranch greater
by the work of that earnest, en
thusiastic Confederate Veteran,
Hon. Ben. E. Russell.
Tomorrow, the 14th, is Valen
tine Day. It is not observed to j
nnv great extent by the fair girls j
find gallant boys of our city.
AAe thank that clever lady Mrs

vegetables sent last week. •

1 M M T GRATION CONV ENT ION
AN ASSURED
SUCCESS.
tain to Bring About Practical
I Results.
; Every arrangement for the great
I convention held by the Georgia In
dustrial Association at Macon, Ga.
Tuesday, February 19, is now com
plete. Chairman of the State Ex
ecutive Committee, J. A. Betje
man, of Albany, Ga., and Commis
sioner Thomas Hudson, have just
returned from a trip to Washing
ton, New York and eastern cities,
where they have devoted their en
tire time to securing at first hand
latest facts, figures and methods
employed by recognized immigra
tion experts. All this will be plac
ed before the Macon convention
for general consideration, discus
sion and action.
It is just such important matters
as these that will make the pres- '
ence of Georgians from every sec
tion of the state important am
even imperaive. The matter ol
bringing in only the very best im
migrants for settlers and laborers
to correct rhe recent scarcity of la
bor, and to settle and develop lands
which are now lying idle are ot vi
tal importance to every good citi
zen. The Associations needs the
experience and suggestions of far
mers, merchants, manufacturers—
of every one at this Macon conven
tion who can possibly attend—that
every county and locality may be
represented by those who really
know the prevailing conditions in
their own territory.
The Immigration Association
wishes to particularly thank the
Georgia press, iuc*uding this pub
lication , for their generous co-op
eration. It has resulted in accep
tances which prove that this sec
tion will be represented. It is
hoped that yon will also be able to
join this representation from your
section. With the railroads offer
ing low rates, ami such speakers
as National Immigration Commis
sioner Sergant. Governor Ter r ell
Governor-Elect Smith. Thomas E.
Watson, and others, all is now in
conference ever held in Georgia >.’<
this question at Macon, Feb. 19. V
TRADES that cure
DISEASES.
(From the Minneapolis Journal.)
‘'Oil workmen are never bald.
Visit our oil regions or those of
Russia; examine the workmen’s
hair; it is soft and thick and glossy.
Foi petrol urn cures incipient oald
ness, and if your hair is tninning,
rub some in. Never mind the
smell. It will do you good.”
The speaker a druggist, went on
earnestly;
“Shepherds enjoy remarkable
health. The odd order of a sheep
seems to drive away diseases. Sheep
are especially good for whooping
cough. In the sheep country, when
a child takes whooping cough, itis
he custo of the mother to put it to
ilay among the sheep, and the next
day it is wel l .”
“The men and women who work
i nong lavendar, gathering it or dis
t Hing it, never have neuralgia or
nervous headache. Lavendar more
over, is as good as a sea voyage for
giving tone to the system. Run
down persons often work for noth
ing in lavendar plants in order to
build themselves up.
"Salt minners can wetr summer
clothes in blizzard weather without
fear of catching cold, for colds are
unknown among salt workers.
“Breweries and tanneries and
print-ink factories bar ontconsum
tion. Tupentine works and rope
walks bar out rheumatism. Copper
mines bar out typhoid.”
