Live and Progressive City-Good Graded Schood-Churches, Bank and Cotton Mill. Er. Editor: I noticed an article ur pal)er some time ago over the ul of H. P. Ducket, yhich does hitmire a great injustice. Whit ire is not in the woods as . Mr. iteket would have you to believe. Whitmire has a fine up-to-date cot ton mill, bank, graded school and best of all, good churches. -Whit mire is up-to-date iln every respect and no town of its age can excel Witmire for growth and business. *"While I am a new comer to the city, not much acquainted with the to pography of the country wvould say that Whitmire would make an ideal county site that any county would be proud of. To compare Whitmire vith a still born town, say like May binton, which can snot be found on the may is an outrage. Who, is Mr. . P. Ducket? I have made diligent quiry. Mr. John Ducket and his ii who run a drug store at this ace\ are the only persons by the ame that can he found. Why does r. Ducket give his full names as any people have assured me that such man lives i'n the town or nptry. Whitmire is a full coml iical town and no doubt excels i'aiy other places with twice its j ,opulhation.

We are not going to try to tell you any big sight more about how to make cotton. You already imake more cot ton than you have sense to sell right, that's tihe reason why you are so darned poor and the other fellow that knows so miuch about. how to buy cot ton is so all fired rich.

Wihen you leave out from home to attend a Farmers' Union meeting pull off that old selfish Cloak of yours and hang it on the gate post until you return from the meeting. Tle distinctive difference in a un ion or co-operative meeting and your self is this, whenl you join in witil your neighbor to do anything for the good of all, your whole body and soul is all built into the big man l! That is, you are a mere part of what it took to make this giant man, who is so powerful that little selfish fel lows and other gaints of smaller breeds and of less import must get out of your way. These great giants that grow on the farms are popping up all over the south very fast and growing big and fast like corn on rich soil after a good shower in June. Backisting P'ertilizers.
