But how are wt to promote it? We need a closer community o interests between the farmer and hi family and the town man and hi; family. In many ways each is do pendent upon the good will of th< other, but few of us seem to realiz< this. Too many of us are strangers t< each other in this community where we should all be brothers ant dwell together in unity for the com a anon good of all. L i If cooperation is good in commer cial affairs it would be of equa benefit in private and social life. I would afford us a more intimat knowledge of humanity and a broad er perspective of life, and the re sultant spirit of good fellowshi] would be felt in a thousand ways. A year of "getting together' would stamp a wonderful imprin upon the heart, the soul and th< conscience of this community. We can materially benefit thi town and our farming community if we l>egin right now to make it j rt * ^ year of production and prosperity It would be difficult to find on< among us who could not in som< manner increase the result of hi: # labors during the coming year, an< with each of us persevering to thii end the year's profits would moun high in the financial column of loca achievement. While considering our own indi vidual interests we might dwell als< upon those of the community ir which we dwell, for what is of value to all of the people is of equal value to us. But we can without detriment, oi jntonvenience, or expense remembqr that we are all neighbors, and friends, and brothers, and so act *>ne to the other, to the end that peace, harmony and happiness maj be our lot for the coming year. -A Blind Tiger Law. In tins paper will he noted what is now known as the Liles hill,which will very probably he enacted into a law at the next meeting of the General Assembly in January. This bill should meet the approval oi every citizen in the State who voted for, or is in favor of the new prohib i | ition law which will become effective January 1. This bill provides a punishment for blind tigers, and that punishment is a chaingang sentence pure and simple, without the alternative of a fine. It should be made a law without delay by the General Assembly, and it is generally hoped that it will be, for with a , chaingang sentence staring a man in the face, especially a white man, he will more than likely think twice , before he leaps into a net that will will land him on the county chaingang without the alternative, as | provided by the present law, of 1 paying a fine.
