JONESVILLE Jonesvillee, Oct. 16.?In the edi torial column of the Times last weel there was a head line thus: "Younj Man Buy Land." This is, I think timely and good advice. Ho ace Gree ly the great phil osopher and states man of the north, said after th< civil war, "Young man go west." Thi Wes tof course is an inviting fieh for young men but there is no usi of young men of this Piedmont coun try going West. Our country need: our young men and the young mei need just such a country as ours t< prosper in and do well and the plac< for the young to do this is upoi the farm but the trouble is how fov take to the farm and agriculture Most of our young men attend schoo till f.... ...i ?: i 'i vii vivt? svt tin vmacuivm ?HlU II1UI they seek a clerkship or profes sion and don't turn their faces to thi country and tlie farm, consequent!; much of tlie lands are in the hand of a few people which should be di video into small farms and go i'it< the hands of young: while farmers Mo.-! of the farm work is now don< by the negrvoes, but the negro l iboi is not jroingr to do farm work in th< future as they have in the past. Thi negroes are all intent on an educa tion and experience has shown thai the educated negro as a rule is 1101 going to work on the farm, they an going to hunt for public work 01 professions and to my mind a decadi or two hence will develop quite ? change in the agricultural department of this country. Every decade brings chancres in government, agriculture, politics, fashions (really the ladies' fashions change every season] teaching ,travel, church, and State? for these and other reasons the growr men had better prepare for the changes that are sure to come. Jusl see how much has been said anc done lately about preparedness, ther I will join in the admonition of Editoi Rice and say "Young Man Buj Land." Go upon it, live upon it anc work it yourself, improve it anc build it up, raise stock and poultry hogs and cattle and save yoursell from the high cost of living we arc now suffering from in this country A small dwelling house in the southern part of our town was burner last evening. The house (belonged to Mr. John Scott and was occupied by George Moore, a colored man George and his family were away at work, so his furniture was a total loss?not a soul was at home. Mr. Scott had an insurance policy on hi: house but it had lapsed a short time ago and he forgot to ke#ep right up with it and so had the agent. Mrs. Bank Harris, Sam Harris and Jim Harris from the Brown's Creek neighborhood visited the family of W. H. S. Harris last week. Mr. and Mrs. J. C.

McWhirter, one of the old and reliable citizens died at his home here on Pacolet street Saturday night about 12 o'clock after a long illness of rheumatism and othei complications. Mr. McWhirter was the son of Belton and Nancy Foster and was a twin-brother of Gadberry McWhirter. The (twins were born near Bogansville seventy years ago next January. Mr. McWhirter moved near Jonesville where the family has lived ever since. On the 8th of June, 187.r), Mr. McWhirter was married to Miss Anna Fowler, daughter of Chas. E. Fowler of Jonesville and seven children were born to them. Two of the sons are in the army, Albert and Lemmond and were granted furlough to see their dying father. Mr. and Mrs. McWhirter were charter members of the first Methodist church in Jonesville which was organized in the year 1878, and they have been true and faithful members ever since. Mr. McWhirter was a veteran of the late war, having served the last two years in the Confederate army; he was a Mason and belonged to Prudence Dodge for the last forty years and was faithful tc the order. The funeral services were held in the Methodist church Sunday morning, conducted by his nastor Rev. W. R. Justus, who spoke beautifully of him. The large auditorium of the church and Sunday schoo rooms were both packed with people to show their last respects for thi> pood man. The interment was ir (iilead cemetery.

Jobson, who, in the opinion of Atlan" ta capitalists, practical farmers and ? government agricultural experts, has given to the South and to the coun try one of the greatest inventions of > the decade?one which, in the prac. tical words of Loring Brown, a leading farmer and writer of Georgia, is I "now sweeping over the South, and I is going to give us a crop increase of at least a fourth." Mr. Jobson has invented a plow? : that's all. He hasn't wrought out a | new rapid-fire man-killer or fashioned a model sword; but he has. It is thought, produced an idea that will ) make available, without a penny of ? extra cost, thousands of tons of natural fertilizers that have lain dormant right under the feet of the farmers of the country, but which have 1 been so completely locked up in the soil that they have heretofore been of no profit whatever. The Jobson System of soil cultivation and this remarkable plow will, > it is claimed, open up new possibilities in soil tillage that have hereto1 fore been impracticable and entirely beyond the reach of the backbone of this country?the "one-hoss farmer." With its simplicity and practical nrtantnhiliiv iho nna h i ?horse stock; its easy adjustment to . clay, loamy, hard or shallow land; Its peculiar handling of the soli so 1 that it. can be worked several days earlier than the ordinary plow In . wet land, and its wonderful digging and turning power which gives It more efficiency per horse-power?all of these combine to make it something which has set the farmers of this and adjoining states to talking 1 deep plowing as they have never i talked it before. That Mr. Jobson's plow comes highly recommended is readily seen in the hearty indorsements of* such men as P. J. Merriam, editor of The Southern Ruralist; W. A. Parker, vice president and general manager of Beck & i Gregg, one of the biggest hardware firms in the south; W. L. Hunnicutt, editor of The Southern Cultivator; !
