Akcut Farm Hacbi&ary. We copy the following from the Greenwood Index, with the earnest hope that it will be read and care j fully considered by every farmer in I this: onnnfr * "One man, out West, does as much farm work as three ordinary farm laborers in the South. Why? Western farmers use farm machinery that makes human labor unnecessary. Instead of having one man and a horse | go down a row and then up again to j cultivate it, the Western farmer uses i a two or three horse cultivator and ''carries" two cr four rows at a time. ' "There is food for thought in this, j The last issue of the Progressive j Farmer, of Raleigh, Ts". C., is a "farm j machinery special," and The Index j would like to see every farmer in j Greenwood county study the issue cf j the Progressive Farmer referred to j above. "The Progressive Farmer compares j the States cf Iowa and Mississippi, j Although Mississippi has more farm- j ers, individuals, than Iowa, yet the j latter State made last year ?70,000,000 more farm products than the former. Why? In Iowa one man does as much work as two or three in Mississippi. He uses farm machinery that enables him to do it. Money invested j in farm machinery is far better than the same money paid out to trifling wage hands at present exorbitant prices for such labor. Farmers in this section have bought more farm ipachinery in the last five years than had been bought in this section in the last 25 years, and the money, as a rule, has been splendidly invested. Of course, a farmer, like all other men, has to learn by experience. Some farm machines that do good work in some sections of the country do not do as good work in other sections. But the main thing is to experiment. Don't keep running along in the same old way. Up in the Pennsylvania Dutch section, a farm of 50 acres has usually fnnr hitr "hrvropq TVia lit,tip farm nf 50 acres not only produces enough feed for four horses, but the owner makes mopey besides. Use more horSe power and le^ man power. Haye a two-horse-brain farm instead of a one-horse-brain farm. It is true that the broad, level lands of the great West are better adapted to farm machinery than our lands as at present cultivated, but the Dutch of Pennslyvania have lands as hilly as ours, and they do not have these hills seamed with old red gullies. / A great opening exists in the South for improved farming, and there's mohey in it.?Greenwood Index.'

Gambrell was a son of. Rev. J. B. Gambrell, the noted Baptist divine, and had practiced law in Dallas for many years. He formerly edited several newspapers in Mississippi: Today he called on Hunt McCaleb, an old newspaper friend, and discussed the suicide of Banker Hutchens. He later went to a hotel and wrote a note asking that McCaleb be notified of what he had done. He leaves a widow and a six-year old son in Dallas. Notes From Peters' Section.

"Why," replied the clerk, in surprise, "our comic page is conceded to be the funniest out." "That's just it, young man; it is too funny. Why, last night, while I was reading some jokes in the kitchen I started to laugh and, by gum, I laughed so loud I tilted my chair too far back, upset six jars of gooseberry preserves, knocked down the stove j and killed the cat. Then the old woman came near killing me; so I reckon you had better stop the paper."?Chicago News. Wot How Cheap?But How Good A brick front painted with L. & M.

The current of life runs every way on the bosom of God's great ocean; Don't set your force 'gainst the river's course and think to altar its motion; Don't waste a curse on the universe, remember it lived before you; Don't butt at the storm with your puny form, but bend and let it fly o'er you. * m e* H i_ _ /? 1 i_ _ O J - J "US iony to ngnt tne mnmte aim gu under at last in the wrestle; The wise man shapes into God^lplans as the water shapes into the vessel."
