John's wife killed the bear, while John, the sneaking coward was n the loft and when he saw the danger was over, he jumps down and "what a a bear we have killed Betsey." -There are more people of this section going to the factory this fall than ever. We hope they may do well, but fear some of them have made a mistake, especially where they leave a good home of their own. We speak from the experience of others who have tried it, but let all go who desire, it will make times better on the farm, as the consumers will be increased while producers are decreased. -Several of the Libertites at tended the Gospel Wigwam meet ing at Major's Shop yesterday. Reports of some lively times down there Saturday i ight, beside rowdy ism in abundance; several horses were cut loose and lap-robes stol en from buggies. What's wrong? Such things did not occur until recently. It is about time to set a peg and ask whither are we drifting as a people. Is this an evidence of our boasted civiliaz tion? -Wheat sowing is being pushed lively and more fortilizers are be ing lought for wheat than ever before. It will boat five cent cot ton as the price of cotton varies so much. The price of labor re mains about tho same as when cotton was eight cents. It is about time for us to wake up and quit paying two to three cents a pound f)r the privilege of raising cotton as we are not awaro that anybody has a paftent on the husiness. We ought to ge-t in a shape as soon as possile to hold our cotton from one yeatr to another'. if the prices will niot give us a profit when the crop) is gatliered. C. Assessment Notice.
