Editor: On Saturday November 14tb, we were present at a corn-shucking at our neighbor, Mr. 9. T. Stewart's, together with several of oar friends. One of those present came through one of Mr. Stewart's turnip patches and was telling about how flue and large turnips bo found there; So after dinner Mr. Stewart asked all who wished to see a real large tur nip to go with him toanolher patcb. So several of us went and certain ly and a whopper. He decided to Iiull up the largest one and weigh t. After all present bad guessed how much it would weigh. It was of tho White Norfolk Qlobo varie ty, and weighed exactly twelve pounds and measured twenty-eight and one-half Inches in circumfer ence. It was the largest turnip ever seen by any one present. And by the way that is not the ouly large thing our friend Stewart has for he has raised a very largo family, and more than that he has made his own living at home as far as It Is possible for a man to do, never buy ing corn, flour, meat nor molasses. It strikes us that if more of the people of this country wore to do the same thing thero would not bo such a cry of hard times and wo could certainly pull through awhile longer without the Free Coinage of Silver, while there is no doubt in our minds about It being restored to its rightful place as one of our money metals In tho not far dis tant future, yet It behooveSvevpry man to corao as near living at home as he can. Thero is, in our opinion only one safe way for a man to live and that is as we have said bet?re raise your supplies at home as far as possible and then as much cotton as you can thor oughly cultivate. ?'Neighbor." Death of a former Citizen. Tho news was received here a few days ago that Mr. John F. Saxon, formerly a resident of this city, died on tho 13ih nil., at tho home of his son in Cartersvillo, Ga.
