Here It is the 10Th Of March. and cv.
crything going along smoothly. Every
farmer that can Is turning over his corn
ground, while the women folk are hard
at work in the gnrdcn. Some few,
learn, have planted some early potatoes,
but | am II opinion that the ground Is
rather cold To be in hurry with most
seeds yet
Still they come. On February % last
there was born 10 Mr. and Mrs Winfield
blackwell n bouncing baby girl. Win
field il the happcst looking man in tho
bend these days
Tone Thurmon i hauling lumber from
the sawmill at the mouth oi Cedar creek
on White river, and fencing his place.
Lafc lnghram was down through this
region about the nth and bought all
the yrarling calves he could lay hi, eyes
ou-and wo understand he paid good
round price for them. lie got some ~
or 20 uoad, Somebody In this neck of
the woods must have raised cattle, even
II We did have a terribly dry year and
no feed
Last Wednesday ComradcGriillth and
VIE went Ia Forsyth, and on Friday he
WIS suffering again with the rhcuma-
ti-m - bad that hr could hardly hobhlc
around. lie says hr walked in, and IL
was too much for him. He says he has
lettuce, radishes, picplant cabbage, to-
mutocs and onions up.
Ii will not pay any man To plant infer
ior seed corn or depend on cheap seed Of
amy kind, nor will IL pay Ia plan more
work than can hc conveniently done
with the help al hand.
Tomorrow will bring It's own rcspon-
siblitics. DO today what should be
done at once, and let the morrow bring
It's own tasks.
One should never be above an effort TO
learn from the experience Of others.
There is no Use uf being able to sec, un.
less one uses his eyes. That is what
they are for, and there are many who
go through life without observing any
thing new, or anything wherein inn
proycmcnt can be made.
| have been told that nj one Of our
up.to.datc, Tancy county Touring mills
they are charging two dollars pcr cwt,
for bran. II such is II fact, II IL an out
rage upon the communityat large. Talk
about your trusts and combines. Idefy
any man to show me wherein any organ
lied trust --as they call thcm-has used
its power TO such I'm cxtOrtionatc rate on
any single manufactured,articlc. So far
ns have been able 10 learn, none OF tho
trusts or combines have gone further
than To pu, the price oi the article man
ufactured to fair and reasonable per
cent. on the cost oi manufacture. Every
man, or any combination Of men, where
in they combine their capital for the
purpose Of producing or manufacturing
an article Of commerce should have
margin enough on the first cost 10 give
them a reasonable interest on their
money 50 Invested. But whenever they
undertake 10 so organize or combine for
the purpose Of expressing the people,
that they may I'LL their capacious maws
with usurious gains, wrung from the
people without the first scintilla OF right
or Justice, there should be- II law 10 force
them TO right and Justice.
Some men have no conscicnccs, and
not much soul. Such men, whether
acting siugly or as members Of an or
guni2cd trust or combine, have just tho
same principles, but single handed they
do no, very often have the chance To
carry out just what they would like to
do. The pas, year, In many sections OF
the country, ha, been one Of the times
that try mems souls" and 1t Is always
In lust such times that some men resort
TO depressing the people by cxtortion.
Men who will seek for gain under such
circumstances have souls 81 small that
you could take hair from horses tail
and punch the pith out OF piece foot
, long, and put ten million such souls in
, the hollow, and they would rattle.
