and tries to find the quickest way to do
this. He hopes to become rich In Il short
time by planting cotton exclusively, but too
late. he finds it a delusion, and then the cry
comes, 81 am involved and must raise cot
ton to mcot my obligations or sink," and
gradually he suks by following this course;
he floats on down the stream until he finally
tumb"s over financial prccipicc, his credit,
farm and all gone. The farmer that raises
his own supplies, has fat horses and good
stock generally, good credit, is happy, and
his balance at the bankers is slowly but sure
ly increasing. There you find JOY and peace,
while in the other case you will find unrest,
unhappincss and anxiety. The experience
of every day life teaches me this. Our lots
in this world depend upon individual cxcr-
ton aud energy, and we sh ,uld look well
ahead in order that we may avoid breakers
in the ocean Of life. Our homes arc just
what We make them, and where there is
debt. anxiety and trouble, there can be no
happiness. Therefore let us strive to make
our homes happy oy having everything that
we need about us in abundance and not
depend upon the West or Northwest to sup.
ply our wants and last of all let us avoid
debt and we can do this by raising corn
VIII at and oats, and also bacon, instead Of
cotton.-Cor. Kcowcc Couricr.
