not tell whether he was a negro or a
white man. Getting his Marlin rifle,
he slipped out the front door, when
the burglar jumped over the fence
into Mrs. Garrison's garden. Mr.. Nc
Clatchey pulled the trigger and the
rifle snapped. Next time, the gun fired

gun and put in new cartridges, and the

seeding, hoeing, picking, ginning and
sweating. Who is it that would do
| that much work for $3.50, except the
cotton raiser? The time has come
when the farmer must plant grain and
grasses, and raise cattle, hogs, mules
and horses, if he makes the farm self
sustaining.
