Jefferson Lodge being a young and small

the work 50 well, without 4 blunder. This is

S&VERAL Of the planters in tina
vicinity have at last como to the
conclusion that king cottou's reign
is about over and that it does not
pay to raise the staple, and are in
vesting in, and making prcpara.
TONS to raise hogs, hominy, cattle,
mules and horses. Clover and
grass pastures are being sewn, and
a time Of plenty may be confident
ly looked for at no very distant
day. We are glad to note these
iniuatory steps towards a new de-
parture, and hope soon TO see eve.
ry farmer in the county raising his
own bread and meat at homo. Then,
and not until then, will Mississippi
county be prosperous, and her peo-
pie free and happy.
