\ Wonp ~ SEASoN.-Wc have fairly
entered upon another year. The land is
not filed with plenty and hard times arc still
upon us. This i not so because OF barren
soil or appropriations seasons. Prnvilrncc
has watched over Us and been kind to us.
The fault is in ourselves. We have nos
maze use "! the advantages bestowed upon
us but have cone forward in n l:stlcSs and
Indifferent. way, contcntcd with Il mere cx.
istcncr.
Unless the people assert themselves the
prospect is thot We will continue in the
| same satisfactory way ani ut the end Of tho
| century we will be no more prosperous
! tnan We arr iniS dag. y iN"t.:. for planting
| cotton has done the work and brought us
down to the lowest round of the latldcr'
Cotton is not worth what was required to
produce it. Skill it has been the main crop
and provision crops have been almost on
tirely neglected.. SO we find ourselves at
this critical juncturo with full su?ply Of
cotton at an exceedingly low price and moth
ing 30 eat. The farmers arc responsible
for this result. They have needed moth
ing the newspapers said, but making haste
to be rich they bent their energies and
spent thor money in making cotton. On
this line we have touched bottom and the
| time for reaction has como.
Shall we enter upon the new year with
the same old idea. We hope not a
diversity Of crops is the remedy. If we
make enough to eat We will be all right
in the future. Then our farmers will be
Independent. and so also will be our citizens
in other occupations Our advice is to
raise grain, corn, hogs, cat:lc, tobacco and
everything to keep money at homc.-.iJ>
