Jan. ...?Mr. James Whit and MlSij Mary Sue Bradley were married at Hillside church recently. The groom is a sturdy young farmer of Piedmont.

Hillside has a mailorder mercan tile company. Farms are being made ready for the planting of the 1913 crop. In twelve months time things have great ly changed. The farmers here are giv ing more attention to the planting of potatoes, molasses cane, grain, etc., and when they plant this spring cot ton will be left In the background. Many were the unfortunate citizens, here, who staked their absolute de pendence In cotton In 1912. and many experienced the "fall". The descent might have been very pleasant to some, but It had such a landing, that those that "took the ride" care not to take It again. That's why the farm ers are turning their attention to the raising of pork, the more extensive production of corn, increased acre age of molasses cane, and sweet po tatoes, and decreased cotton acreage. When the year 1913 closes, if the) Hillside farmers have followed these methods, there will be found here a more prosperous people than was ever known here before.
