Do you wish to vote? Have you
paid your poll tax? Well, you can
not do the one if you have not done
the other. Every person who is re-
quired to pay poll tax and fails to
pay the same before the first day Of
May, will not be allowed to vote in
the next election. This is the law.
Bear this in mind then and pay your
poll tax before that date. And be

FARMS SUCCESSFULLY.
ColOred Man who is an Honor to His
Race.

Allen Martin who lives in Youngs
Township was in the city Thursday.
"Uncle Allen" is a colored man. He is
a prosperous farmer, own 204 acres OF
land, works hard and pays his debts
He has been a subscriber to THE AID.
vERTISER for the last ten or twelve
years and no man on the whole list is
more to be relied on to pay his dollar
a year. He stands well among his
neighbors, white as well as colored,
and the people who live near him say
that in sickness or misfortune no
neighbor is more useful or more kind
than "Uncle Allen"
The secret of Aliens success as a
farmer is that he makes what he and
his people and his stock eat on his own
farm. One Of his rules, so 1t is said, is
to sow just twice as much wheat as
people ordinarily regard necessary to
furnish the family during the year.
''Then" he says, ''if the season Is bad i
may still make half a crop which will
be enough to live on. If [ make a good
crop, | will have wheat to SELL"
