Sensible Talk From 10. 8.
A We want 10 sit down and rest for =

fsrsnt people rest different ways. Generally,
when man wants to rest he turns l.ess
everything and sits back in tho easy rocker
and folds his hands, (if his newspaper Is
not nsar) bat II the good wife or daughter
sits down to rest they rest while they knit
or crochet or something Of the ki,d.
While farmers have good deal Of work
TO Dc in winter, II is . moro leisure time
than in the spring and summer months,
DO sow, the busy season will soon ts upon
us We must begin to think shout
what we are going to DO this year. Those
who have stock could be building spring
pasture fences, for the stock that have been
on In some winter pasture; and perhaps they
are needing salt, IL they have not had any
this winter; and II we have NO stock We
eoald employ ourselves hunting up and re-
pairing our plow gearing, bringing up the
Piow stocks frsm the fields, whore they were
left when We quit plswing Gotten, and
took up the hses that were left in
the hsld along in the latter part Of
July, fer 1t may be that some of the handles
are little tender, or the rust may have in
jured some, So that now snss must be bought.
And II would be . great saving Of time,
while We are hsuling our Guano, Corn, Mss.
Flour, Mslasses, Pot.tses. Sugar, Coffee,
Rice, and many other supplies that ws
@Yafs skta bring the nssdsd farming i'm.

market = crop Of feotten. We nre not very
good in Arithmetic, but really Il does seem
to Us, if VIC could run that through, accord
ing TO the "single rule Of three" in cid
Pixies arithmetic, we would sson get shout
year behind bu. maybe not. II II 10 90,
some Of the smart men We have in the
country would have found it out. Be
that rs il may, We say We are bound to
plant cotton to pay our Guano bills, and our
ration bills, or liens, which is absut $500
to the sne-h horse farm and good portion Of
that is taken mp now, or will be by the time
the ole woman gels . supply Of ealicoss,
Plaids, Muslin, Hats, summer shoes, eto.
Besides, We like to dress as well as anybody
else, and nice suit Of clothes don't cost but
ahont twenty dollars, and other things in
proportion. Now. il we can just make about
out out s; 1sy sona ass aSssS W. VIII
with our calculations thus made, with such
prospects before US, with the strength Of our
muscle and the vim Of mud turtle, We sail
in, and We will "get there too, but get
~here Now we ezpect some one will want
to quote something like this: .
All fools will ns'sr be dead,
We know the reason why;
The young snss they grew up
Before the old ones die,
We hope all the farmers are not as above
described, but instead, by close observa-
tion, industry and economy, steer clear of
the breakers.
There is small farmer We have in eur
mind. about 60 or 65 years old, who still
wears his Fathers coat, wears q pair Of
shoes made about 20 years ago. has bought
only 2 saddles in his life and has hamper
s=ske. :h.t helped gather 80 crops Of Gotten
aud corn.
Tell Vex, in answer to his question in
your issue OF the 22nd, ve refer him to
John 49, 38.-"Pjlsts saith unto Him, what
is TRUTH
We are in favor Of VoK's idea In regard
to an inquiry column in the TINES.
What person in the scriptures 10 repre-
ssnted a. "a cake unturned."
Hoping you may mako better collections
for the next month than you have in the
past two, We will not mako our letter lsngsr
