Condition of Panning Lands Kneouraglng to a lielioUler. A short trip to the upper purt of the county b few days ago was en couraging to a man who seldom sees the fields. We saw that the fields where wheat and oats had been planted showed that the land had been thoroughly prepared with im proved implements and that the grain had been put in with drills. The farms have all been terraced, the terraces are in good shape and the improved conditions of the farms were apparent on all sides. On many farms repairs are being made on buildings and new ones being built. On account of the severe weather but little plowing has been done for the next crop, but what has been done was with big turn plows, and the unplowed fields show that the last crops were carefully and thoroughly cultivated. Wnat we saw impressed us with the great progress that is being made in the method? of the farmers in the section we were in, and the improve ments that have been and are being made in the lands and the great pos sibilities which these improvements made manifest. They showed that the soil of Cherokee lands cun be made to produce a good crop every year, and its fertility so increased that it wili make a better one th ? next. When our farmers find out that the improvement of their lands is one of their most important jobs, and that their lands and this climate will not make eight cent cotton for them at a profit, then they will take to the ce reals forage crops and stock raising, conditionsjwhich make lands grow rich places an abundance of home raised food in [the country, fill homes with comforts and happiness and evince an intelligence that the country should be proud of. Then will Cher okee begin to attain what slu ce capa ble of being and be in the h ,;a nich where her natural resource! her lo cation and surroundings indi Lte she should be The Editor’** Jot>. Editing a paper is a nice job. If we publish jokes, people will say we are rattled brained; if we don’t we are an old fossil. If we publish origi nal matter, they say we don’t give enough selection; if we give selec tions, they say we are too busy to write. If we do not go to church we are gheathane; if we do we are hypo crites. If we remain in the office, we ought to get out snd hustle for locals; if we go out, we are not attending to our business. If we wear old clothes they laugh at us; if we wear good clothes they say we have a pull. —Tarrytown (X. Y.) Xews.

What is the difference between selling whiskey and cigarettes? It is just as much sin to sell cigarettes as it is to sell whiskey, for the cigarette smoker is taking his’own life every time he smokes, and the tobacco manufacturers are getting rich sell ing them. It is just as much sin to smoke a cigarette as it is to take a drink of whiskey. Young men and boys should take warning before it is too late. Beware of cigarettes. Reader. A Correction.

Every impulse of practical economy suggests the course.
