Plant Early

Observation has taught every
observant farmer that if he wants
to make sure of good corn crop,
let him plant early. The drought
Of the summer rarely ever sets in
before July, and il the farmer has
planted early and cultivated well,
he will be pretty sure to make a
good corn crop. So don't wait
for your neighbor to begin, but
get ready and plant early.

The weather Of the present
winter has been exceedingly fine
for saving pork, and not a single

spelling of any. One merchant
who deals largely in plantation
supplies tells us that it has caus-

half. He states that one year ago
he sold 10000 pounds of bacon
during the month of January, and
that last month he sold only 10000
pounds.

A TALK WITH OUR FARMERS.

The hard cold weather and rain
which continued during the great
Ell part Of the month just past,
has had the effect to put the farm
ers in this section considerably
behind with their farm work. If
our farmers will only stop long
enough to think how important is
thorough and deep preparation in
order to insure good crops, they
will be almost amazed to see how
much they will be called upon to
do in a very few days. Before
another issue of the JOURNAL the
corn planting season will be upon
as and how many of our farmers
will be ready for it? Observation
has taught us that in order to
make good corn, it must be plant
ed just as early as the weather
will admit, and we doubt not that
the experience of every successful
farmer in Terrell county will bear
us out in this opinion. The mid
die of this month is none too ear
ly to begin planting corn, pro-
vided the land is thoroughly pre-
pared and the weather not too
cold. Farmers, are you ready?
Are you putting in every moment
of time in order to get ready?
The front of the battle must be
fought now, in the way of proper
preparation, if you wish to make
good crops. If you get behind now
with your work you may expect
to stay behind all the year, and
make very poor crops at that.
The amount Of corn and meat
brought into this market from the
West since the first day Of Janu-
airy, to be sold to the farmers of
Terrell, is by no means encoura-
ging. 1t demonstrates very clear
lv to our mind that the condition
of a large class Of our farmers has
been woefully exaggerated. And
it is high time, if ever, that the
people of this country should
learn that they cannot become in
dependent unless they raise their
own supplies at home. Show us
a farmer who buys Western corn,
and nine times out of ten We'll
show you a farmer who has
mortgage on his crop, mules or
land, and no farmer can long live
and prosper who carries a mort
gage Let this be one of the
years when the people of Terrell
will make corn enough to do them
from one end Of the year to the
other, end let it not be said anoth-
or year that your corn crib and
smokehouse is located in the
West, but at home. Be sure,
then, that your preparation is
thorough, that you begin in time,
and that you plant enough of it.

 Iwish it to be understood that I have no apologies or recantations to make and no favors to ask of the next administration. I accept the result of the election as the fate of war, to which I have not been altogether unaccustomed. I have survived one lost cause, and may survive another. I have no repinings or complaints to make.

A Pig in a French Horn.

From the Philadelphia Times.
 The members of the Washington Grays Artillery Corps spent some time last evening chasing pink sucking pig around Industrial Hall, where they were holding their annual New Years festival. A number of useful articles had been disposed of by raffle, when the hilarity of the audience was suddenly provoked by the an nouncement that Major Tabor, cashier of the Peoples Bank, and paymaster of the regiment, had won a sucking pig. The animal managed to wriggle from under Major Tabor's arm, and, with a squeak of triumph, dashed for the door. In a moment the spectators sprang in the direction of the the game, but the animal dodged them, and foiied in his efforts to reach an exit, began running around the hall. After fifteen minutes, by which time the whole company had become completely tired out, the pig dashed in the direction of the spot where the orchestra had deposited their In- struments and dived into the bell of a brass horn. There 1t stuck fast. When it was extricated it had tainted for want of air.
