Items like pretty girls for the
past week are hard to get. AS we
predicted, thieves have been break
ing. into corn cribs in this neighbor-
hood. Farmers had better try
their shot guns as well as their pad
locks. Public roads are getting in
bad condition. We favor the road
law and would like it better if
hands could be worked longer. We
did not get the advantage of but
half of our road tax this year.
More of it should be spent on the
roads. Our church also needs
some repair and it must be done or
we can not have q good Sunday
school during the winter. Rev.
Mr.. Ussery preached an interesting
sermon at Zion Sunday. We think
if that people consult their best in
terests they will secure his regular
services. d. X. West, with his
daughter, Miss Mcclellan, returned
from Huntsville Friday. Miss Ella
Brownlow is visiting relatives near
Campbellsville. Miss Susan Tyler
has moved to William Daugherty's.
d. c. Hill came up from Lawrence
burg Monday. Times must be
very dull there as he did not know
that it was first Monday. John
Chapman, who went to Texas about
twelve months ago, is expected
home. We dislike to see the boys
leave dear old Giles and go west,
but these is a consolation in know
ing that they will come back again

The following is clipped from
the Daily News, Trinidad, Colorado,
of Nov. 81, and relates to our Mr..
Mac Pryor. Messrs. Will and Cal.
G.. McKissack are with him:
"a few weeks ago, Pryor Bros,
large cattle men Of eastern New
Mexico, forwarded four hundred
head of cattle to Kansas City, for
which they received forty-eight dol
lars per head clear of all expenses.
This we consider as one of the fin
est shipments of beef cattle ever
made from this territory.-[Las We

And none know the cattle bust
ness better, and are more deserving
of success, than Mac Pryor and
brother, who are well known and

Do We Need Immigrants?

1
There are some good men in Giles
county who say they do not want
immigrants because we have more
than we can feed now. There can
not be a greater mistake. Our PEG
pie attempt to cultivate toe much
ground and they ruin the soil with
out getting a natural yield. If we
had more farmers, interested in pre-
serving or redeeming the soil, we
would have smaller farms, less ex-
pensive, better culture and larger
proportionate yields. If We had
more producers we would have more
consumers to buy our increased
productions and thus have market
at home for products we do not now
grow largely because we cannot sell
them, and when our products run
up we can get better rates on large
shipments, of course, and thus get
to market at = paying price. There
is not an interest or industry in
Giles county that would not be
materially enhanced by an increase
in population, and the good it would
do our lands in saving them from
the wasting processes now employed
furnishes alone sufficient reason for
wanting more farmers and smaller
farms. These arguments are so
palpable that we confess our in
ability to find sufficient opposing
ground to combat. The benefit to
our county does not stop here by
any means. AS our population in
creases, energy and progress keep
pace, and there is not only spirit
of industry engendered, but neces-
sity for manufacturing will exist,
and the result will be an increase
of what we have, building of more,
a development OF hidden wealth and
a utilization of our woods and water
powers and the various elements of
wealth that now stand useless be
cause unasked for. These are
thoughts that should challenge
mans most serious consideration
before he interposes any obstacle to
the movement on hand.
We can truthfulIy say 1--WE told
you so" You'll believe us next
time. And yet, we cannot blame
Gov. Hawkins for distributing all
the fat places to his friends. Dem
ocrats are beginning too see what
they lost by their foolish Olsen
sions. We have felt very little oft
down in Giles until last week, but
when it came right home to US we
realized the situation, and we are
forced to enter a protest against
the governors high-handed abuse
of his power. Mr.. j. H. Morris, a
straight republican, received the
appointment as delegate to the
Manufacturers Convention at At
lanta this week from Giles, with
privilege to pay his own expenses,
lose his own time and leave his
court right in the midst of the
term. We do not object to his fit
ness and honesty, for he is a re-
liable gentleman, but to sit right
here in a state with forty thousand
democratic majority and see such
fat places taken right from under
our noses and given to republicans
should teach us all lesson and qui
ct our discussions.
