Substantial Farmers.
Mr. John E. Fulmer, one of the
best farmers of the Spring Hill section,
and an all-round good fellow,
was in town Thursday selling cotton
at 12 cents. He was accompanied
by his son-in-law, Mr. P. E. Eleazer,
who is another successful farmer of
the same section, who also brought
cotton along with him. This incident
shows how well they have managed
their farming operations during the
last season and we confidently believe
that were they asked the secret of
their success they would both unhesitatingly
reply that they raised
their supplies for home consumption
and made cotton their surplus or
money crop. There are plenty more
farmers in this county who have done
this also, and whose experience along
this line will corroborate those of
the gentlemen mentioned above. Let
doubting Thomases try the experiment
for themselves and they will be
thoroughly convinced that diversified
farming is the better plan.

of the rope after awhile.

now wait until the 14th, the old
soldiers reunion.
