The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1883-12-06

The people in the south are be-
ginning to realize the one great mis-
take they have been making for
these many years. That mistak e
is the homogeneous mode of agri-
culture, and selling the crop before
it was raised. AS rule such a
system of agriculture is unproft-
able, and the people of the cotton
producing states are beginning to
find it ont. This awakening is due
principally to the agricultural press,
which has of late been urging upon
farmers production of varied crops
at least sufficient for home consump-
tion. Heretofore the whole income
of the cotton crop was swallowed up
in purchasing the necessary pro
vision and machinery used upon
the farm, leaving no surplus. ex-
cept, perhaps, to a few very large
planters, In few years the south
ern farmers will raise their own
wheat, corn, pork, beef, wool, etc.
and not be compelled to sell theiI
oft on crop before it is gathered.

that fact the NJ. E. Church south

their part of the fund, ninety thous-
and dollars, about one-fourth of
which was subscribed during the
late session. There is to be held IN
the city of Baltimore, December 25,
1884. a conference of all the branch
es of Methodism in the United
States and Canada, in celebration
and commemoration of the one hun

ton in America.

a wife may as well stop here, for moth
ing whatever of the kind happened, for
the Squire and his wife had no sons, and
their nephews and brothers were all
married long before Molly's day. 1t is
true that some of the smart young farm
ers OF the region round about tied their
horses occasionally at the Squirrels gate,
and it is equally true that Molly said
No to some of them, though they one
and all swear by her.
This story is not written to induce all
clerks and shop-girls to rush into house
work, for not one in twenty would be
capable of doing as Molly did, and not
one in a hundred.would find such
