Jim Croker,

Jim Croker lived far In the woods,
solitary place,
Where the bushes grew like whiskers
On his unrazored face;
Aud the black bear was his brother,
And the catamount his chum,
And Jim, he lived and waited
For the millions yet to come.
Jim Croker made clearing
And he sowed it down with wheat;
He filled his lawn with cabbage,
And he planted 1t with beet;
1t blossomed with the potato,
With the peach and pear and plum,
And Jim, he lived and waited
For the millions yet to come.
Then Jim he took his ancient axe
And cleared a forest street.
While he lived on bear and succotash
And young opossum meat.
And his rhythmic axe.stroke sounded,
And the woods no more we're dumb,
While he cleared the crooked highway
For the millions yet to come.
They came as aimless strangers,
They came from far and near.
And little log house settlement
Grew around the pioneer;
And the sound of saw and broadaxe
Made glad industrial hum.
Says jim: 1.-THE coming millions,
They just begun to come"
Then little crooked railway
Wound around mountain, hill and lake
Crawling toward the forest village
Like an undulating snake,
Till one morn the locomotive
Pulled into the wilderness.
Says Jim: 1.-THE coming millions,
They're coming by express"
And the city grew and prospered
With each succeeding year.
1t had City Council,
And old Jim was chosen Mayor.
But jim declined the honor
And moved his household goods
Far away into the forest.
To the old primeval woods.
Far, far into the forest
Moved the grizzled pioneer
And he reared his hut and murmured.
4" III build city here"
And he hears the woodfox barking,
And he hears the partridge drum,
And the old man sits and listens
For the millions yet to come"

cost of our mis-government impos-

THE CROP OUTLOOK.

w g rest in our advocacy Of tue
anne nding OF the constitution of
the State of Tennessee 10 stop
and congratulate our citiz ens on
the good outlook for corn, wheat,
oats and vegetables of all kinds,
peaches, apples, aud last but hot
least the grapes in the Stquachee
Valley which presages mucn
good food for sOmt body.
Ii the tanatlcal craze of 1887
to 1890 ruined many it has been
a paying factor in one point in
that the old fashioned, anti-belA
lum way Of corn, corn and moth
ing else, has been broken up
aud the diversity of crops at
tempted, which we believe in the
long run will be far more profit
able aud meet the growing de
lnands of the country much bets
ter than corn and corn only.
The wheat harvest has begun
and the crop bids fair to he q
good one. There are more acres
in wheat than ever before, acres
of sweet potatoes, acres of mel>
Ons, acres of peas, and many
other things, all of which with
the addition of corn in a less
quantity is a step in the right d.
rectiOn.
The census of 1899 gave as the
per centage of the Sequachee
Valley:
Farms worked by owners 7544,
by tenants, 1916; in Sequatchle
County, by owners 1886 and by
tenants, 33 25; aud Marion Co.
by owners, II SO and by tenants
ALL. To go into the matter
still deeper Bledsoe had 857 farms
$50 worked by owners, 32l by
tenants; Sequachee County, 1874
farms, 263 by owners, 13I by
tenants; and Marion County 989
farms, of which SIS was guilty.
ated by owners and 412 by tenn
ants, making at that time a to-
tai of 1888 farms in the entire
Valley. In census of 1880 the
same territory only had 1901
farms, which shows q gain of SS7
farmsi in the Valley in 10 years,
all of which goes to show grad
ual increase in farming and with
the impetus given TO farming
since 1890 we believe that 1900
will show still greater gains.
What we claim is that people
have taken up farming and have
found out that the better they
farm that the better the returns
will DO aud that a variety of crops
is safer to bank on than one crop.
While we believe many farms
are yet too large, we hope that
we may see yet greater divisions,
and in this the-plan of Gov. Nor
thern, of Ga, would work here
admirably well, which is, to have
small farms radlating on centre
