CALL EXTENDED
To Rev. John T. Thomas of Good
land. Indiana, To the Pastor
ate the First Presbyter-
ian Church.

Rev. K. H. Houseman of Florence
officiated IN the cnpicity of moderator
at . Congre ational meeting OF the
members of the First Presbyterian
church on Wednesday evening of last
week at which time it Was voted to ask
the session to extend a call to Rev.
John T. Thomas of Goodland, Indiana,
to become their pastor as the successor
of Rev. Harry n. Wilson, lately re-
signed to take charge of the congrega-
tion of the First Presbyterian church
at Muncie, Indiana.
Rev Thomas preached here with
great acceptability number of times
several members of the church at that
time to do every thing in their power
to have him enter upon the duties
pertaining to the vacant pulpit and the
action Of the meeting last week was the
elimination of their hopes.
Rev. Thomas is a young man, not
quite thirty years Of age, and is a native
Of Tennessee. He is married and has
one child and is possessed of those
social, moral and intellectual qualities
that assure success in his chosen pro-
fession- What action Rev Thomas
will take in relation tothe call cannot
be foreseen and it would be both idle and
discourieous to speculate upon it. In
balloting upon the proposition of call
ing him to the pastorate Of the congre-
cation the vote stood ia in favor to 10
against; the minority afterwards vot-
ing to make the call unanimous.

A NOTE OF
At Prevailing Prices Almost Any
Crop Will Bring the Farmer
More Money than Cotton.

We feel called upon to raise a note
of warning to our readers. The pres
ent indications all point to an extra
effort to grow cotton. Very many are
arranging to raise from one bale to
two per acre. The efforts in this di-
rection are not single or isolated.
They are well distributed and quite
numerous. And they are praiseworthy.
They are on the line of progress and
success. They look to the increased
productiveness of the soil and to bet
ter seed and better cultivation to pro-
duce these better crops. All of these
will help to cheaper the raising of
the cotton. This is highly commenda-
BILE, but still it tends to increase the
crop. Then, again, the fair prices of
the past two seasons are stimulating
the cotton growers to plant more.
Again, the gradual, yet steady. growth
of farming in the south will of it.
self increase the acreage in cotton.
There will be much more land in cul-
tivation in the south this year than
any former year. Now, we feel that
it is necessary, in view of these and
many other reasons, to warn Il
readers that there IS danger in plant
ing cotton this year. Now, while so
many will rush on to loss and ruin, is
your time to steer FOR q safe and sure
thing. Every other farm product is
bringing good prices. You can make
money by planting any and all crops
besides cotton.
At the prices now prevailing any
thing pays better than cotton. Heed
u advice and give attention to all
kinds of crops that feed men and ami
mails. Grow hogs, cows, sheep, chick
ems; anything that can be sold in the
market will pay you better than cot
ton. This is one time when you can
take no risk in raising supplies; vege-
tables, fruits, melons, hay, corn, oats,
wheat, peas, pinders, sugar-cane
broom corn, sorghum, potatoes, cassa-
va, rice. and 40 other crops that grow
in the south.
You risk nothing in leaving cotton
entirely out this time. Cotton costs
about what you get for it. The profit
is very small.
But when we advise men to do this
they reply: "We are compelled to
raise cotton because we r in debt"
We'll, that is the very reason you
ought to quit raising cotton. What

HERE AND THERE.

Begin now and feed the colts
some wheat bran at least once a day
DO not think that because sheer
have a good coat of wool they neee
no other protection from @ an6
rains.
A heifer calf intended for a dairy
cow should be trained from birth
with this end in view and be made
gentle and tlactable.
Every indication points to a con
stantly increasing demand for good
COWS in the future. A great many
dairy farmers are giving but a super
fetal study to this feature of theil
business.
AS the planting season is ap.
preaching it is very important to use
our best efforts to get our seed in
well prepared. finely pulverized soil
February and March should be given
mainly to this work.
The worlds markets a only con.
sumo a given quantity of cotton, and
all above that only serves to embar-
rass all parties and always results in
lowering the price. Hence it is not
to the interest of the southern farm
er to plant so much cotton.
1t is true that the quantity which
the world can consume increases from
veal to year as new uses are found
for cotton. But this increase is not
equal to the increased area that the
growing south brings into cultivation
each year.
