congregation was small, but those
present were fully repaid for Drawing
the weather. DR.. Willingham presents

airy in the foreign field this year.
Now is the season when every one
will determine the number of acres he
will plant in cotton next year, and the
ones who diversity their crops, raise
less cotton and more feed and forage,
truck, potatoes, hogs, etc. may have

Dor, who plants his crop mostly in cot
ton, but he will have less need for
money, and he will be in much better
condition otherwise.

trade

Glass Legislation is the bane of the
age. 1t is always vicious and it is sin
> cerely to be regretted that we have
"class" laws on our statute books The
way to remedy the wrong is not by
perpetuating the wrong, and repeating
the wrong, but to repeal every one now
in force and put every class on foot
