Our Southland.

The Cotton Planters Journal presents
this rosy prophecy, which we trust IS
true:
Silently and almost imperceptibly has
the era of prosperity come upon our be
loved Southland. For many years
Southern industries fingered in the lap Of
lethargy and Ionged for some fostering
father to bring them to maturity. Here
and there individual efforts arose, only 10

benefcence OF Providence, the scales are
falling from The eyes" of cur fellow men.
Prejudice has been put to flight by the
light of truth. Factories are springing up
all over the South, and the march of pro-
gress has been as substantial, as il has
been secure. The long list of enterprises,
existing and being promoted in the South.
since the dawn OF our new year, is both
wonderful and wise.
The pro, esson of progress started in
our Eastern-Southern states. and is tri-
umphanty travelling over the entire South.

Alabama are famed the Fall River

Early Pasturing-As spring approaches
there is a strong temptation to turn the
cows onto grass az the earliest possible

by j. G.. Lee of tho department OF agrl-
