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.

Commission Merchants, Colquitt, GA. 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.” SIOO,OOO TO LOAN On improved farms in South West Georgia, maturing alter years. Low rate of interest Quick service.
