the farmers of this section work to
get good living rather than to make
money they will fare much better. If
anybody has butter half an inch thick
90 his bread, it should be the farmer
and he should eat more chicken than
a Methodist preacher. He should
Teyel in fresh peaches and cream from
July 18th to October 18th and put up
enough dried and in cans to supply
him till peaches come again, Nobody
has better right to have a fine torse
and buggy and enjoy driving over the
good roads than he. 1t is not money
tnat we so much want, as comfort
able, happy life. Not one of US
brought anything into this world and
cwe sure can take nothing out, but it
should be the business of all to make
their lives as comfortable as possible
here, and be prepared togo to a better
world when they have to leave this
one"
