Nesbitt, State Com- missioner of Agriculture of in Iris report calls the of the farmers to the fact that they mast raise more products for home consumption and less cot- ton. From an agricultural stand point he says our history can be divided into three periods- the first we find the people living in rough houses, working small patches with rude implements, their wants supplied to great ex- tent from tho game with which the woods abounded. Truly a primitive period of agriculture In the second we find the small patch developed into the wide field of Virginia soil, diligently cultivated, and as a result, tho overflowing crowded with everything to make the home a place of bounteous content. There were well filled cribs, the sleek cattle grazing on the hillside, the fat porkers grunt- their satisfaction; tho table home peace and plenty reigned, the contented and prosperous farming class. But now mark the third era. To-day in many sections, we find land too gullied and furrowed from want of care that stand amazed at the destruction and ask ourselves if this waste can restored Agriculture is depressed, discontent everywhere- It has required years to bring us to our present depressed and it will require years for us to get back to our former period of The then goes on to explain the this depression and to the way out.

Some eight months ago the Atlanta Constitution, the greatest Southern paper, and perhaps one of greatest in tho nation, chased the largest printing press brought South, at a cost of thirty thousand dollars. Its capacity was forty eight thousand per hour. The Constitution not thinking of making a ten-page daily did not order a press to print a ten-page paper. It has been found out that a ton- page is the most satisfactory daily and to print that they have to make two runs in sixes and fours. To avoid this difficulty they have ordered a new press at the cost of forty thousand dollars that will print, fold, cat and deliver papers of any size from two to twenty- four pages at the rate of twenty- four thousand per hour. This new press will be the largest ever brought South and will be exactly like those on which the great New York dailies are printed. In chasing the large press last fall the Constitution went considerably beyond the limits of any other Southern paper, but in its present purchase it has jumped beyond its own former bounds, but not be- what it can sustain. It has a weekly circulation of and a daily double that of any other paper in Georgia.

Stubbs, Esq., gently passed away at on Friday morning, July 3rd, 1891. Her death was a shock to the com- and threw a pall of over the hearts her many friends at home and abroad. Mrs. Stubbs was possessed of an amiable disposition, a bright, genial nature, and a kind and generous heart. She attracted hosts of friends to herself by her kind, and tender bearing toward all with whom she came in con- tact. Novel haughty, never arrogant was she; but having at all times a sunny smile, a kind word, or a pleasant look for the lowest as well as the highest. This writer admired her for the purity of her life, for her many shining virtues and for the charming- which apples or gold in pictures of life. And above all, did he esteem her for her walk and life. Doubtless. like others, she had her faults, but they were eclipsed by the and bean y of her She loved her church with pure and loyal devotion, and her God from the inmost depths of her soul. Hers was, indeed, n lovely character adorned with the grace of submission, and irradiated by the sunlight of love. the scene has changed. All the hopes of are suddenly blighted and light fades before the approach of the dark winged Reaper. Friends stand by her bier and weep. A fond heart is bleeding and crushed as he bends o'er his soul's treasure, and bewails the loss of departed joys. And now loving hands bear the casket In which God's beloved the quiet borne of the dead, strew the grave with beautiful flowers, and leave loved one to await of the morning when the mists shall vanish from the grave, and the spirit of wife and mother and friend, shall a sweet and eternal resting place in of God. The Lord regard in tender compassion the afflicted husband and babes. N. We will also sell Straw Hats at prices.
