A Farmer To Farmers.
Counsel Well Worth Heeding?When
to Sow Small
Grain and How to Improve
Land?Advantage of Raising
Less Cot ion and More
Supplies.
Mr. Editor* I >'!
... ? MV? ? tUV MI* I O I "
mers to how more small grain ol
all kinds this tall titan they have
been doing in the past, and sow
as early as possible, so that the
grain may have a chance to get a
good start before the weather
gets so cold and rough. In order
to make this a success, it
would be wise to fertilize the
land well and till it well; and
when the grain is harvested fertilize
the land again and sow it
in peas. In this way you can
enrich the land and enable it to
produce a better crop the next
year. All tanners should make
preparation to plant more corn
and peas, and other articles ot
that kind, and raise your meat,
bread and other lood supplies at
homo, and don't plant and try to
raise so much cotton, and what
you do raise you will# gel more
% lor it.
My advice to all farmers is to
plant less cotton and lerlilize it
better and work it better and
you will make more on an acre
than you woul l make on three
\ uot manured and worked. When
this plan of farming is adopted
and put in practice the farmers
will get along better, times, will
be better and wealth will increase
more rapidly ; and not till this is
done will limes be better, in my
humble ]udgment.
Some tarmers say that they
\
have such large families and big
debts that they can't afford to
plant less cotton than they do
now; but it the people would
raise ihhm ?' -
^ w. men iHIIlliy supplies
hi home, and mtiKe more i
corn and roughness to teed their i
slock and cattle on, they would i
not have to make such big debts, <
110 matter how large their fami- I
lies are. Make your tertilizers <
at home and it will not cost you I
near as much as that you buy, <
and it will last longer and do the i
land more good. I advise land *
owners to lence their land that is <
not in cultivation and keep some i
cattle, just what they can man- f
age, take care of well, and what I
their pasture can afford grass for I
through tlie summer months, and I
pen them at night. And also t
keep your cotton seed to put on ]
Vjf the land with the stable manure. I

An Editor's Troubles.
I
Many persons seem to think,
that editing a publication makes
life one glad sweet song. Ring '
off! If we publish jdkes people '
say we are rattle brained. If we 1
don't we are fossils. If we pub- '
lish c iginal matters, thev sav we
dont give them enough selections,
If we give them selections, '
. they say we are too lazy to write.
* If we don't goto church, we are 1
leathens. If we do. we are hypocrites.
If we rem tin in the office,
we ought to be out looking for
news items. Ii we go out, then
we are not attending to business.

they say we have a pull. Now,
what are we to do? Just as likely
as not, someone will say that we

we did. Its from the Wyoming

And wrenched it out of his hand.
When J. E. (Jillis shot Whitaker '
his son grabbed Gillis and said to

Witness wont into details as to
the position in which Whitaker ;
held his pistol, lie said that, he |
very deliberately pulled it out ,
with the muzzle pointed to the
ground and gave it. to Ancrum,
who hesitated to taae it, saying
it. would not tie fair unless the
Gillises gave up theirs, and then
il was that Gillis said, "No.
damn it, we will battle it out," 1
and fired. Whitakerdid not fire, 1
1
as witness saw.

essential details. He was in his 1
store when Whitaker drove up in
trout of the store and called for '
him. lie went to his buggy and 1
then walked to where the Gilli

They did not speak to him ,
at ail, but looked toward Whit?

serned. We have had our satisfaction.
It you want satisfaction

ur3 he sa w Whit aker getting out '
>f his buggy and lie stopped him ; j

without any shooting. Whitaker lf
