ing Of this popular tuDer. The South
ern crop can be put on the market
from three to six weeks earlier than
the Northern and Western crop and
will in consequence demand good
prices. The fact that good seed are
high and difficult to get should not de-
ter those who understand the culture
OF the Irish potato. Every effort
should be bent toward getting this
crop on the market early and in prime
condition. "A few years ago similar
conditions obtained to those now
prevailing and West Point. gentle

land in Irish potatoes. 1t would be

The Port Gibson Reveille speaks
thus sensibly on the important subject
OF our young men who are too anx-
lous toIeave the country for the town:
Several young men have moved out
of the county this winter and we un-
derstand others are contemplating do
ing the same. They have become dis
satisfied with raising cotton and hope
to benefit, their condition by going
elsewhere. This is a great mistake, as
those who go will soon discover. PEG
pie can make q living here just as
easily as they can anywhere else, and
in most cases great deal easier. If a
man finds that he cannot makescotton-
raising pay, there are many other in
dustries that present themselves, and
he can try Something else. Experience
teaches that where, men are deter
mined to- succeed, they can make al
most any industrysor profession re
munerative. The man who is dissat-
taasd With his lot is usually a man
Whs 3 succeed at anything.
