How happy will that mortal he,
Who can with truthful arder say,
There are no flies on me.'"
Frost is approaching, then you Cal
say it.

having miningetis, but | have heart
of many Jeters having horse.
With the approach of frost I fell
somewhat scared but under weather

certain young man may 60 to achin
too.
Crops are very late maturing this
year, especially cotton and field peas
Verify we need something now to re-
store confidence.
Me thinks people might live much
better if they did not want too much.
In their wanting ambition they loose
much they might gain in trying the
expansion act.
The nearer the round up the shorter
the corn crop shows us. There is
going to be "buckle and squeeze"
with many TO fatten hogs this fall.
l saw little negro few days ago
sitting in the sunshine with whip
going through the motion of fishing.
Evidently he was trying to fish some
thing out of II poor opportunity.

paciied. even if they have taken the
oath of allegiance. Uncle Sans sal
walton army will have to shoot more
religion into them to make them
''stick." If Mckinley was a great
aud good and christian man, that part
Of his christianity and goodness d,du't
suit them probably, or they didn't
believe half they read. My opinion
Is to be great and good enoughto let

Why is it that even at hint of a
short crop of wheat, corn, oats, hogs.
etc, those products 90 jumping to the
upper story" chat almost causes
dizziness, and with report after ep'rt
of short, scarcely more than half Of
a cotton crop, that product and seed
remain 80 low. Perhaps the former
articles goes soaring after the specu.
Iators get them. and with cotton many
must sell, aud factories as we'll as any
keep the price down knowing that it
must soon .'slide" cheap or not. If
our farmers Isould raise their hog and
hominy and grain at home the soar

little concern.-Ed
Despite the short feed crop some
negroes are feeling very rich: ! pp-
derstand that several are buying
mules now and are going to rent land
next ye"r. They say certainly there
is heap of hay saved But mules
cant live on hay alone and some may
starve. But l believe one ambition
Of a negro is to rent land. have some
sort of an animal and ride. Yes,
ride they will if everything goes to
pieces.
Some negroes put up poor mouth
and made many promises until | let
them have provisions, and now no
sort of propr sition, compromise or
allowing big pay for work can induce
them to pay or work it ou:. But it
seems We all like to be humbuged, or
will bite at any bait. People will dc
it, it may be kind Of syMpatby: -
This tsli'weatRef sort Of fills one
with desire to do various things.

scarcity Of game or fish. 1t is too
early to hunt rabbits, Am pa great
