Now let's see if some of us careworn, almost rasted-ont Fair?eidites can't be "up and doing" and snetain not only onr reputation as farmers, but the reputation of the dear old county as being the fairest field iu all the State. First, let us mean just what we say about planting less cotton at.d *nore grain, at least, enough for home, consurap'ion. "We wiii never cease to fee; tbe sting of poverty whilst we persist in planting so much Kiu? Cotton. For after we have sioLfd the heat of summer and carried a heavy bnMcn (debt) all year, then V7e do?i't find the "king in Lis counting house counting out much mo:iey; neither the queen in her parlor eating bread and honey." Them, too, we h-.ve ifee mortification of hearing tha'. .be poor, honest merchants haverfi go (ten their pay for the hog and hominy, and maybe a Jew clothes to run thac cotton crop on. 7, for one, am willing to plant no more c. tfonthan my family can finger pick, thereby savh.g re expense of ginning. Why try to keep up with progress unless we makj a j effort toward progress? which c&-.'t be accomplished by planting tour ocrvs cotton.
