Dutch Courage,

Every one wher he speaks of Dutch
courage means courage hat Is induced
by the cup thai cheers and also inebri
ates-pot val!ancy, in short, the exact
opposite Of what has been called two
notwithstanding courage. Three
different origins Of the expression have
been suggested. According to some.
Dutch In this case is used simply as
the adjective corresponding to the
nGon "Hollands,' Us applied to that
Kind Of ardent spirits. Others assert
positively that the phrase arose as u
sheer at the Dutch troops who showed
the white feather Of Fontenoy. But
perhaps the best explanation Is that
this uncomplimentary allusion to the
Dutch refers to practice common in
former times in Holland Of encourag-
ing those Who were condemned to ex-
ecution to drink heavily before they
were hanged.

A Dog Story.

Reerbohm Tree, the London actor,
told n story of Il dog named Argus
which used to accompany him to the
theater. The dog was of an emotional
habit Of mind and was greatly affected
by sensational scenes. When Mr.. Tree
was playing in Captain Swift" Argus
used to take his place in the wing and
follow his every word and look until
the suicidal situation was reached. The
moment Mr.. Tree felt for his pistol
Argus used to rush into the darkest
corner he could find and. burying his
head between his paws, listen for the
thud of the actors fall After that the
dog would crawl back to meet his mas
ter with a howl Of JOY at Mr.. Trees
apparent return to life.

Getting our Bearings.

Success is what we are all
after and in the stock, as we'll
as any other line of business, if
we would attain it we must get
our bearings. What branch of
the stock business is the coun
try in which we have cast our
lot best adapted to: This is one
of the first and most important
questions for US to solve; it is a
ground plan upon which, if cor
rectly gagged, We may safely
rear our superstructure. In
passing upon this question eli
mate, range and cost Of feed
stuffs are perhaps, the three
leading factors to consider,
Where, to US, is the best money:
Is it in raising stuff for northern
feed lots, or, isit in both raising
and finishing combined:
Answering these questions,
The News, under its present
lights, sees best money in rails
ing the feeder. It is forced to
this view of the case on account
of the prevailing prices for
requisite finishing feeds. Under
present conditions it is easier
and better TOR all concerned to
take the stock to the iced than
it is to bring the feed to the
stock. The News says present
conditions" advisedly, because,
the time is not far distant when
the Plains country will not only
raise the boss feeder, but the
grains and cotton seed bypro-
ducts to finish him on as we'll.
But getting our bearings
down to the point of deciding
on producing the feeder is not
enough-we mnst produce the
animal that is in most demand
''the right sort, and just what
this is The News will eudeavor
10 tell next week.

To the Planters of Noxubee Co.

For some time .past an energetic
movement has been made by infiuen-
tial men of the South to have the cot
ton acreage reduced, and giving as
their reason the fact with an average
crop the total yield, provided all OF the
available land isl planted in cotton,
would flood the market and thereby
lower the price to such an extent that
the income of the farmers would hardly
cover the expense of production,
while if the cotton acreage could be
reduced rs per cent, we woul really get
more for our cotton in the sum total
with less cost of production, and be-
sides obtain fair income from this re-
duced acreage by planting it in corn,
grasses, etc.
Now this has proven to be very
strong argument and one that can hard
ly be gainsaid by the reasonably intel
ligent man, but at this late day, and
owing to Our long spell of wet weather
and to the general conditions of our
crops at present, we have another rea-
son equally as strong why we should
look forward to something besides cot
ton to plant on the lands that the plan
ter has been unable to place in a state
of cultivation, and that commodity, we
think, should be CORN.
1t is a historical fact that to plant
cotton at this late day is merely an ex-
pertinent and very doubtful in its incip-
iency, for besides having to trust to
luck for a good season of weather at a
time when it rarely occurs, we alsc
have to speculate on very late Fall
with the chances ten to one against us
whereas, if we plant corn on these land:
not already planted, and having the
average seasons, we could realize good
crop of corn, which is something We
never have too much of,
This will certainly be bad year or
the farmer if he has to buy corn, As
the present indications are he will have
to purchase it at a dear price, for We
have only to glance at the market
quotations to see that the price ha'
been continuously growing higher anc
higher until at the present it has reach
cd the enormous price of 65 cents pc
bushel in Chicago and with fair pros
poets of going higher 1t has been wei
said that he who buys corn measure
all of his profits from his cotton to hi
crib, and why should the people o
good old Noxubee County, the granar,
of the South, become parties to tn
hardship2
