THE ONE-HORSE FARMER.

The one horse farmer has life
long ambition to gain a reputation
by wearing a dirty shirt. He will
alarm the neighborhood by getting
up two hours before day and then
sit around and not go to work
until sun up. He will ride around
a whole week looking for a 81 hog.
He will complain of hard times,
then tear his pants climbing a
fence where a gate ought to be.
He will pay s. for new bride,
then let the calf chew it to pieces
before Sunday. He will get all his
neighbors to help get COW out of
a bog and then let her die for want
of attention. Stock will get in and
destroy his crop at a hole i'll the
fence that he has put off fixing for
six months. He sprains his back
lifting something to show how
strong he is. He will talk all day
Sunday on what he knows about
farming, then ride around the
neighborhood Monday hunting seed
potatoes. He will go in his shirt
sleeves on a cold day to show how
much he can stand, then return
home at night and occupy two
thirds of the fireplace until bed time.
He will ridicule the mechanism OF
of cotton planter and then go out
and mash his thumb mailing board
on the fence. He will come back
from town with fifty cents worth of
coffee, a paper of pins, dollars
worth of chewing tobocco, and his
hide full Of whiskey. lex.

The prosperity OF the South is
shown in the fact that this section
has to borrow much less money this
year than usual for moving the
crops. The logical conclusion is
that the people have their own
money to do this. Last fall New
Orleans drew from the North ST.
81, 900, but this year, with cotton
crop of nearly 10, 500, 900 bales
going to market, the Atlanta Journal
says the draft on the North will not
amount to more than So, 600, 900.
The South has more money, better
banking facilities and better bust
ness conditions generally than ever
before, and prospects are favorable
for further improvement Vicks-

Here is a little piece clipped
from the Pilgrim by a citizen of
Yazoo City with the request to
publish if we endorsed it, which
we unequivocalIy do. 1t is good
advice and reads:
Spend your money with foreign
merchant and all you receive are
the goods you buy. Spend it with
a home merchant and it will come
back to you not only in the goods
you buy, but in better streets,
sidewalks, churches, schools, and
better everything else. Did you
ever stop to think about the
matter? When you help your
home merchant you are helping
yourself directly or indirectly.
So far, so good. Buy your
noteheads and printed stationery
from your home printer. Every
dollar you blow in this direction
will come back to you a durn
sight quicker than the bread that
was cast upon the waters, for
verify, the printer is not generally
so overstocked with sheckles of
the realm that he hides them away
for very long at time.

The holiday trade was not as
good this year as usual, notwith-
standing the pleasant weather.
This is good sign, showing that
people are beginning to take care
of their money for more important
purchases.-Port Gibson Reveille.
Observation teaches us that a
small holiday trade is indicative of
shallow pocket books, with whites
as we'll as negroes, as Christmas is
time when those who have money
are not contented until they spend
it. However we congratulate the
people of Claiborne upon reaching
the unique position as holiday
money savers"

OUR TOWN,

A canvass of the merchants of
our town as to the volume of the
Christmas trade as compared with
former years. shows the past year
10 be far in advance of any in their
experience. That the months
business preceding Christmas was
below last year, is the opinion of
all, but we feel safe in the assertion
that this falls trade is we'll up in
the front rank.
AIS we have stated heretofore,
every merchant in the town carried
larger stock than ever before and
contrary to the pessimistic predic-
tions, they have disposed of them
to their satisfaction, and a feeling
of brighter things for the future
predominant. There is evidence in
our town of a slow but steady
growth and such prevailing condi-
tons in the business world, are
calculated to and do strengthen the
faith of our people in the stability
of the place. This feeling must
prevail to induce the investment Of
capital, and a continuation of such
activity on the part of our people,
whereby the business of the town is
expanded and placed on a firmel
footing, will inevitably be greater
incentive for money investments
We have the money here i'll the
town, lying practically idle, but i
will not stand such inducement!
for great while, hence it mus
come forward and help in the up
building of the town and county

for Mississippi has become more

two years. The biennial report of
Secretary Power shows that the
collections for the biennial period
amounted to $50. 1854. 40 as against
only 81 sos for the preceding four
years. The greater portion of the

According to recent ruling of
the Attorney General, the collection
of poll taxes can be enforced by
law. Where the delinqucnts have
no personal property that can be
levied upon, the tax collector can
garnishee their wages in the hands
of their employers, for the settle
ment of the same. This ruling is a
good one and should have been in
force for many years back.-West

INVESTIGATION.

The prosperity that has pre-
vailed in our county during the
past few years is in large meas
use due to the fact that our farm
ers have gradually been divorced
from the all cotton practice to
which they were so long welded,
and are now awakening to the
benefits derived from diversifying
their crops and living at home.
They have found that Western
corn and oats at seventy-fve cents
and one dollar per 5ushel, with
cotton at five cent per pound was
not very profitable. During an
average year the quantity of grain
now brought here and sold to our
farmers has very materially di-
minished during recent years, al
though this year the corn crop IS
below the average.
Along the line of Investigation
of crops, Fstock raising, etc., the
following able editorial from the
WInoHa Democrat will prove of
interest to farmers:
"While Mississippi farmers are
still welded in a more or less
degree to the raising of cotton,
and while they have not yet fully
determined to turn their attention
to the diversi6cation of crops and
to stock raising, which will natur-
ally follow, yet it is gratifying 70
see that rapid strides are being
made along these lines. Those who
have made a trial of crop DIVERSE
fcation are making money out of
=, and the tendency toward stock
raising is growing every year. Of
course the farmers are not going
to reverse their mode of farming
at once (though IN our judgment
the sooner the better) and the
change will naturally come by
degrees, yet it is surely coming,
There was a time when cotton was
king in Mississippi and 1t was
looked upon as the only money
crop that could be raised. Now
it is found that money can be
realized from almost any other
crop, with a great deal less cultiva-
ton. The truck farmers in south.
ern Mississippi are realizing big
money on their farms and the
fruit industry in the state is as.
Stunning large proportions. The
farmers are going to raise theil
own meat and beef, and whereas
they used to be content with scrut
cattle, nothing less than Jersey
suits them now.
"They are beginning to learn
from bitter experience that it is q
very constIy policy to purchase
their horses from Kentucky and
Tennessee when they can be rails,
ell here for less than cne-fourth
the money. The result is more
stock of all kinds is being raised
in the state than ever before. We
note from the Tupelo Journal that
Sheriff Long, of that place. has
on hand at present 500 head Of
two and three-year old steers, 100
yearlings and cows. while other
dealers in that section have be-
