A TENNESSEE negro who stole a
c,on skin has been sent to the peniten- :
tiary for two years. IF he had shot a
Republican he corld have got off free
If any one thinks this is reckless
assertion, We need seek confirmation in
kemper county, Mississippi, and nu-
merous other points in the South,
where "the Fest Of order prevails"
with numerous Republicans rcposi,g
under the sod IIawkcye.

Large and Small Farms.

Agricultural writer's are inclined to
recommend small farms. As we'll ad-
vocate doing business Of any kind on a
small scale Better have small farm
paid for and we'll managed than to
owe for large one without the means
to work it we'll. But if "a farmer is
able to own large farm, and has the
ability to manage, no one need to waste
any sympathy on him. Large farms
are often poorly farmed, so are small
ones. The difficulty IS not so much
with the size ofthe farm as with the
capacity of the farmer. Good farm.
ing can be done just as well and more
economically on large farm than on a
small one. Teams, Implements and
farm hands can be used to better ad-
vantage or the large farms, for the
farmer can afford to have variety
suited to his needs. 1t is foolish to
seek to get large farm just for the
sake of room. but if the large area is
fully utilized then We sec no objection
