It affords us pleasure to publish this week a letter from Ernest M Joye, of Hemingway, telling simply and modestly the story of his wonderful achievement in corn growing the past two years. From a single acre of Williamsburg soil this remarkable lad gathered in two successive years three hundred and six,ty-nve bushels of corn. Well may President Phinizy, of tlie Georgia Railroad Bank, say "it couldn't be done." But this boy, Ernest, went ahead and did it. We are glad to learn that Ernest is going to college, although he will, be missed from 41 the ring", which he says he leaves to other amhitious hoys. His example is well worthy of emulation. We hope it may l>e an inspiration to many other bright boys. The value of the special advertisement he has given his county and State within the past two years would l>e hard to estimate. We wish our young friend mighty well and we shall watch with interest his future career. FUSION WINS IN NEW YORK. Democratic Victories In New Jersey and Massachusetts.
