say that will prove the most interesting

among the smart set. The gowns are

they are here in New York, but elegant

GREAT NEED OF SMALL FARMS.

An Alabama paper published at
Scottsboro, in Jackson county, urges
that the big land owners of that
county cut up their large plantations
into small farms and sell them, on
reasonable terms, to men who de-
SIRE to secure homes of their own.
This paper points to a certain section
of that county, where this system
has been tried, as the most prosper
ous section therein, and it attrib-
utes this condition to the fact that
the farmers there own the land on
which they live and work The SCOTS
boro paper declares that Alabama has
outllved the old tenant system, and
must get out of the old rut. This is
true of Georgia as we'll as Alabama.
That the old system of tenant farm
ing has out lived it's days of useful
ness and profit there IS no doubt
Only in rare instances do we find a
large landowner who is receiving prof
liable returns from his plantations
where he runs them by tenants. It is
more often the case that the landowner
is losing money every year by this
system. he may receive as much
from his farm in rents as he would
make under another system, but his
lands are washing away, his fences
are rotting and his houses are falling
down, hence in this respect he is a
loser every year, for there is not one
tenant in thousand who will care for
the plantation, keep up the bitches and
fences, repair the houses as faithfully
as he would if they were his own
property. 1t seems that the Alabama
paper has given the proper solutions of
this problem. Let the big landown-
ers divide up their lands into small
farms, sell them to those who desire
to purchase homes of their own, and
numerous prosperous small farms
will soon take the place of the IN
profitable large plantations, and the
whole community will be much the
