ont of date. for the bright, CHEEKY,
energy inspiring autumn, is, and
should be, the most delightful
season Of the four. 1t means a
return to work of the thousands
of teachers and pupils of our land,
but work that is generally congo
NAL and healthful. II means work
for business and professional
men, which is compensated by
iingling cash. To the farmer,
it means the fruatjon of the dreams
of spring time, with full barns
and pockets to tide him through
the approaching winter. 1t means
Thanksgiving season with good
cheer to sweeten life and soften
its trials. To the patient, long.
suffering, crediting, country edi-
tor alone. is Autumn a season Of
melancholy, and the length OF his
delinquent list regulates the ex'
tent of that gloom. However
all editors would doubtless be de-
lighted to join the ranks of the

THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS.

In the good old times when the
sunny Southland was in flower,
or said to be, the poor white man
was decidedly at a discount as a
citizen. Regarded by the wealthy
and aristocratic planter as an IN
necessary incubus in the economy
of Nature, and by the negro as
"po' white trash,n he stood an In
Intestinal chance of ever pulling
out of the ruts aud mires of pow
erty. His children were denied
the educational advantages now
afforded the most worthless me-
gro, under the present regime, and
he and family were socially ostra
cised.
But with a turn of the wheel OF
Progress, the old system has been
completely reversed, and with the
dawn of a new century, a new dis
pensation has been evolved, max
ing the South more favorable to
the poor man than any land un-
der the sun.
In many sections of the South,
land is so cheap that nothing but
unmitigated l~aziness and shiftless
ness prevents any family from
owning a home. But what is still
more advantageous, a homestead
consisting of only a score or SO
of acres, may be made to support
a small family in comfort, provid-
ed determined industry is Joined
with discretion in management.
Not a foot of soil need be wasted,
and the hustling farmer, who de-
spises not small things, may claim
peace and plenty as his own.
The fact is, a diversity in farming
is essential to the prosperity of
any people. No people can de.
pend solely upon one crop or in.
dustry and enjoy genuine indie.
pendence.
With the saving of a few years
wages, a laboring mar may buy a
tract of land, a horse, COW, a few
hogs, and he has the nucleus Of
complete independence, if he but
uLites brain and Drawn. With an
orchard, garden, pasture, and a
few acres for ;corn, sorghum. po-
tatoes and peas, he can live in
comfort, and probably save money
regardless of trusts, OF high or

niue NAV be made to contribute to

December. Free schools are so

out the South, that no boy or girl
need plead ignorance from neces-
sity, and up-to date methods may
become the stepping stones OF
fortune to all who wish. Now is
tie time if ever, for cur people to
awaken to the fact that the day
of small things has come to stay,
Faed all may avail themselves of
the opportunities within their
grasp.
