THE PROSPERITY OF U PEOPLE.
With the farmer this has been an unusual
year. Crops have been easily, and economl-
caIly worked, while the season for harvest
time has been unpareIled, SO that all the
crops nave been gathered In first class shape,
and marketed at good ,prices. Many Of our
farmers are so situated that they: are able TO
hold their cotton Tor higher prices.
me barns are all flied with fodder, corn
and hay. Large banks OF potatoes are 10 De
seen on every side, while fat cattle are graz
ing in the pastures, and swine roaming
around that would do credit TO a "Tennessee
Drove"
So that with plenty to eat, cotton under
shelter, money in the bank and fat STOCK on
the farm, our county Is In a prosperous con-
dillon and our people happy In the enjoy,
mept Of the great prosperity that has crowned
their labors the past year. When the farmer
enjoys prosperity, then, and only then, do all
other vacations OF life prosper.
