of activity. If you wish proof o.

of good times.
Our friend Abe Broadwater sent
us this week three magnificent
rutabaga turnips, one of which
would make two meals for an or
dinary family. He accompanied
the gift with the remark: ~ have
given Jim Bacon three just like
them, and I want to see who can
tell the biggest lie about them next
week." We confess we do not think
it fair to put US in competition
with friend Bacon on this line, as
he is in full practice-been at ii
forty years-and 'practice makes
perfect" so old DR.. Bill Jennings
says.
Let US be cheerful while we live.
And there is nothing makes the
room more cheerful than to have
beautiful window shades and rugs.

Three and a Half Gents Cotton.
Our old friend Mr.. w. H. Mays,
nearly seventy years old, told US
on Monday, salesday, that he re-
members distinctly when cotton
was 81 cents a pound. This was
somewhere along about 1910.
"But," said he, lit didn't make
any difference then, because every
body made their own supplies, and
the cotton although only 81 cents
was all surplus, net profit. The
farmers didn't reduce their acreage,
but kept right on planting as much
cotton as ever, and they are going
to do the same way next year,
wherever they can get mule and
a niger to plant and to work it,"
The Right Way.
There is right way and wrong
way to farm. 1t strikes us that Mr..
Sam Gardner, who lives in the
Savannah River side. has the
right way down to fine point, for
instance: He has sowed already
this fall two hundred bushels of
red oats and will SOW one hundred
more in the spring. He didn't buy
the seed either. He has sold from
this years crop one hundred
bushels OF peas, reservlng Two nun
dred bushels for his own use and
planting next spring. But most
wonderful of all, he has between
forty and fifty banks of potatoes.
These banks look like an esqui.
maux village as you drive along the
road.
