George Perkins to Young Men.

Chicago Telegram to St. Louis Repabl.c.l
"Too many young men IN this
country don't want to work hard.
They perfer to take things easy
stay up late at night and lie abed
too long in the morning. They can
never get ahead that way. Times
and conditions may change, but the
old rule remains that there is no
success without everlastingly keep
ing at it."
This was the word Geo. w. Per-
kins, optimist, has for young Amer
lea. Mr.. Perkins formerly was a
Chicago insurance agent. He has
become the right-hand man of j. T.
Morgan in that inancier's world
wide enterprises.
After the whirl of days activi-
ties in Chicago in Colorado Fuel %
Iron, in the Harvester combine, in
the steel affairs and other business
interests, Mr.. Perkins emerged from

enough to declare that this was the

HON. M. r. PATTERSON,

HON. M. r. PATTERSON,
democratic nominee for Con-
gress from this district, spoke
in the court house Saturday
afternoon to a large audience.
This was his first appearance
here since his denomination
and he took advantage of the
occasion to thank the democ-
racy of Hardeman county for
it's support. In his remarks
Mr.. Patterson paid a high
tribute to Hon. j. B. Frazier,
democratic nominee for Gov
ernor, and urged every dem
ocrat to come to the polls on
election day and vote for him,
as we'll as for all other nomi-
nees of the party. The speech
was devoted principally to
national questions, imperial
ism and trusts, and the lucid
and forcible manner in which
he handled his subjects gave
evidence Of study an d state
manship. Patterson realizes
the fact that he is a represen-
tative of the people and it is
his object and desire to advo-
cate only such measures as
will rebound to their good.
He is honest, able and sim
cere, and is making a record
of which his constituents are
proud. His speech was one
of the most impressive and
appreciated delivered during
the campaign.

TRUCK FARMING.

The Madison Truck Farmers As
ISOLATION, which was organized last
September, held its regular monthly
meeting in Jackson last week and
some interesting remarks were made
and valuable papers read concerning
truck farming. We reproduce the
foil owing:
"Mr. A. D. Hunt, the Mobile 81
Ohio agent at Humboldt, and a prac-
teal tomato grower, was called upon
to address the meeting, and he told
his experience in the production of
tomatoes. He said his town was the
center Of the fruit growing belt, and
that during the past season 26O, 900
packages of fruits and vegetables
were shipped from that point. These
products were grown upon less than
600 acres of land, and brought the
sum of SlO4, 900. The market there
was thoroughly established, and
buyers came from every part of the
United States and Canada. He said
that 260 acres of strawberries grown
yielded $3.50, $50. The facilities for
transportation were frst-class, and
there were no losses in the shipping.
lie said that the lands around Jack
son were undoubtedly more prolific
than those about Humboldt because
they contained a greater amount of
sand. The policy of consignment
to commission merchants has been
abandoned in favor of the home
market, and buyers came TO their
doors and will come to Jackson if
the people will raise the products.
Fruit culture will not decrease the
cotton, corn and wheat crops. The
farmers of the Humboldt section
have made tomatoes a money crop.
Mr.. Hunts paper was very elaborate
and after he had finished reading it,
a motion was made and carried to
have it published for distribution
among the farmers Of Madison
county"
What Mr.. Hunt says of the lands
around Jackson will also apply with
equal truthfulness, and even more,
to lands around Bolivar. A gentle
man who has lived four years at
Jackson and five years at Humboldt
says that in his opinion the condi-
ton of Bolivar lands is better suited
for truck farming.

Yes, Isn't 1t Funny.

Oh, yes! we see the point. These
truckers will be the ruin of Bolivar
and the adjoining country for four
or five miles.
We are now getting along with
but little trouble. First, we don't
have much to sell. Second, our land
is so feeble that grass land the crop
is discouraged and we can spread
out. Third, we have but little mon
ey, and that little comes but once a
year.
Suppose every other farmer with
in the radius of five (5) miles of
Bolivar was to plant one acre each
in strawberries, cabbage and toma-
toes, or any other succession Of
truck, and would net what the av-
erage trucker nets, what would be
the result? The first thing would
be a good road for the truck wagons
and the rural route free delivery mail

When the trouble starts it will
spread. The Tennessee towns north
of us pay two cents quart for pick
ing strawberries, so pickers make
81 to 81 per day. 1t takes $50 to
$40 to gather an acre of truck. Just
think of the money TO be dumped
on the merchants and other good
people of Bolivar, and that in ad-
dition to what little they already
have. The banks in these trucking
towns catch fits. If l were running

this trucking business l would quit.
There would be too much money to

it, perhaps the worst of all, will
build up our land, and good land
means nice houses, big barns well
filled with grain, hay and good
stock, and a bank account, and
lot of things to trouble us.

Rural Mail Delivery.

The rural mail delivery system
has rapidly developed within the
past year. In the beginning it was
merely experimental, but the value
and convenience of it has been clear
ly demonstrated. There has been
some opposition to it from country
postmasters and crossroads store
keepers, but these will find that in
the end rural mail delivery is not to
their disadvantage. Even if it were
so, the benefit and convenience to
the greater number should cause the
system to be welcomed by every
body.
Tennessee leads all other South
ern states in the number of free rU-
RAJ delivery routes. July l, 1902,
Tennessee had 3O7 such routes. This
is more than all the routes in North
Carolina, Alabama, Kentucky, Lou
isiana, Florida and Mississippi COM
bined. Georgia ranks next to Ten
nessee with 243 routes, South Caro-
lima comes next with III, and North
Carolina next with 1877. None of
the other states mentioned has as
much as 100. Since July several
new routes have been established In
Tennessee. Tennessee Congressman
have been alive to the value and i'm
portance of the rural delivery sys-
tenn and active in efforts to secure
it's advantages for their constituents
With rural mail delivery and in
creasing telephone facilities, the ru-
raj population is kept in close touch
and easy communication with each
other and the world at large--an adj
vantage which few years ago was
impossible. With better schools and
better roads, important matters that
should receive the earnest attention
of legislators and all good citizens,
the rural population will enjoy ad
vantages of which the preceding
generation never dreamed. Such
improvements and advantages will
do much to make country life more
desirable, to make communication
easy aud pleasant, TO largely remove
the isolation and the loneliness and
make farm life more attractive to
the boys and girls whose gregarious
instincts lead them TO long for closer
communica ton with each other and
with the great busy world.--Nash-
vile American.

The Fence Law Again.

To TIE Bolivar Bulletin
l noticed an article IN your paper
written by Mr.. J. G. Yarbrough,
in regard to the hog question, and is
very good, but does not go quite far
enough.
Hogs are so scarce that you can
90 miles and not see single one,
unless you see some in pens and then
very seldom.
What is the cause?
Why, the great cause is the Fence
Law-the three wire, or Stats. And
l think il is time for the people to
wake up and do something for them
selves, or they need not expect any
thing but hard times and still worse
coming. Why? Because there are
no hogs in the country now. Why?
Because the people cannot keep up
their hogs and feed them on IS cent
corn. For their meat would cost
them 25 cents pound.
What is the matter, and who is
doing this-the rich man, or the
poor man? Why, it is the rich man
who is at the head of the whole
thing. They say, "Keep up your
hogs and you will have better meat
and more meat for less money"
That is a grand mistake for be-
fore this fence law was passed hogs
were no object. You could see hogs
anywhere in the woods or along the
roads and lanes, but where are they
now?
Here is meat selling from II cts
to Is cts pound, but before that
fence law was pessed better meat
could be bought at 5 to 8 cts.
See what the fence law is doing
for the poor man!
This fence law forces the poor
