Boyleston—Well, that depehds on the season and the man, that is if we have a cold winter and a fairly dry season next spring with the right kind of farming on not too large an acreage, we think that you will not be damaged but very little by the weevil next year. But on the other hand, if we have another mild winter "3k we had last, with a wet season as the past one has been, with the or- dipary farming that we have in this, county, then we certainly fan expect some material damage next year.

When most of us were young,^~the typical campaign ad dress was a “rousement.” Fiery jammers- of wiM were sent out from headquarters, .whose duty it was to enthuse “the boys.” Few members of the opposite party ever attended such meetings. .Such op ponents as • were' present were too fixed in their convictions to be con verted.

The old-time system of farming that you have been practicing for years and years will have to be done away with. This idea of killing grass to make cotton to buy grass will have to be done away with.

ANNIE MARTIN RENEW O. H. .Miller, Singer A few days ago the sad news reached me that little Annie Martin Renew had been called home to Jesus. Annie was a bright, sweet, little girl, one year old. She was the only child of Martin and Inez Renew who justly loved and admired her. Their hearts have been crushed but by a lpying j-and sympathetic Father, who doeth all things well! She was an exceedingly bright girl for her age, and will be greatly missed by all who knew her. , . ..

We can grow just as good cows just as good hogs and just as cheap as the farmers in the west and better. Farmer—How are we going to grow those cows and hogs? Boyleston—Easy. In order that we may grow these cattle and hogs las they should be and at a profit we must have at least a part of our fields, if not all, fenced so that we may have those crops that will make good hogs “cheaply. Therefore the thing for you to do now ia to look in to the matter and decide how possibly much of wire yotr can buy this fall even if you have to borrow the money, and the bartia will be. glad to lend the money.
