Georgia Raised Horses.
Bob Branch, of Bishop, Oconeo
county, is so suthority on stock rsis
ing He has s magnificent race
trsek of his own snd makes a special
ty of raising race horses His
horses have won msny prizes st
county snd state fairs He was the
leader of tbe movement which ter?
minated in the successful organiza
of tbe Osk Branch Fair association,
whioh is composed of msny promi?
nent planters of Oconee, a county
noted for its blooded stock and fine
raoers
Mr Branch is not a horse breeder
oo o large ooale Ho only raises two
or three fine colts s year,and develops
their speed. He says he gets from
$125 to $1,000 ood opwsrd for those
he soils, snd wbsn asked why horse
raising is not engsged in more ex?
tensively by Georgia farmers the
tbo other dsy, ho osid :
"1 do not know unless it io
becanse men unacquainted with tbe
business plunge into it an get dis?
couraged before they learn what is
necessary to success. A good strain
io the first issentisl, then knowing
how to treat yoor animals, how to
feed them, how to handle and how to
develop them. A man must lesrn
the business before can hope to sue
oeed in it."
On the subject of feed snd
eoonomy to be exercised io rsising
horses in Georgia, he said :
"I find that to cut wheat and oats
in the doogh and feed this to trotting
borsee is a very fine feed and enables
them to get along on about half tbe
groin they otherwise would require
A man wsnts to hsve plenty of
forsge crops, such ss sorghum, Ger
men millet, peas oats, corn etc , snd
then some rye for winter grazing
If your land is rich enough barley
will make the best grazing in the
world, but it won't do for thin soil
Rye bests it There is money in
stook if you understand the busi?
ness "
Mr Branch is right Horses can
be raised as well and as profitably in
Georgia as in Kentucky, aud it is
strange that more of our farmers do
not eugaga in tbe business In Au?
gusta's vicinity Burke snd War*
ren counties have won rep?
utations oy the flue stock
they raise snd every effort
should be made to encourage this in?
dustry, which means so much for the
prosperity of tbe farming interests of
the state ?Augusta Chronicle.

Is the most complete we have ever carried, and the man?

to us that
The Styles and Prices are Right.
Already our stock is badly broken in some lines which we
hope soon to replenish. There has been a great deal said
about the advance in prices of Dry Goods, but we see no
justification for this, except in domestic goods, such as
bleached, brown and plaid homespuns, that are* directly
affected by the price of cotton, the advance is not appa?
rent. ;, We are still selling

These are in very desirable patterns plaids and stripes,
suitable for Shirt Waists or Children's suits.

Probably the best value we have in our stock, and most
appropriate for this season of year is
Our India Linens.
For some years we have been buying this class of goods in

DIRECT FROM MANUFACTURERS.
The goods are perfect, and buying them in that manner
and the quantities we do, we are selling them at
