We arc laboring hard
AS farmers today,
To obtain for our products
| Reasonable pay;
And the man that hangs back
Is blot on our sky"
Oh, yes, if we are small, and
cannot make much of a ripple,
don't let one be too much of a blot,
&c.

Rev. w. H. White filled his ap-
pointment at the Presbyterian

day.

There arc many good things that
go UNDER" while the bad are
patronized; many church members
patronize the flimsy, the frivolous,
the bad, in preference. Now in
the year 1905 will the Baptists do
better by their convention, the
Methodists and Presbyterians by

| If any man who rents out land
to the amout of, say for basis, ten
bales, and wishes his renters to re-
duce their acreage 25 per cent, and
production to advance prices, he
fought to be willing to meet them
on the halfway ground, and reduce
his rents % per cent and help to
Iadvance the prices, and not let all
the honor" CD all the work, all
the sacrificing be on one side.
| The Santuc Mercantile Co. has
just received lot of goods and in
opening up saw that shipping
box showed signs of having been
opencd, and later found that card
board box of shirts had hole torn
in it and all of the shirts taken out
OF that box except one, and that
had a greasy place where the soiled
hands of some freight handlers had
been pulling ut that No doubt
many things get lost from freight
handlers pilfering them.
They are having quite job over
at the dam trying to get in some
crib-pens in building Golfer dams.
The river is considerably narrowed
down, and runs through swift like
a mill tail, and it is deep, too, SO

Rev. w. II. White, at the Pres

ing from the commandments of
crimes, anger, malice and murder,
: and incidentally suicide, said that

great deal Of that kind of suiciding
mot out of this community. Some
people wouldn't like to do anything
if they had it to do, and conse-
lquently don't try to have anything
to do, and wouldn't have if they
could, both male and female; but
the most of us call it laziness, and
it works harm, for idlcness is the
devils workshop, 1 am told.
Cut your acreage. to decrease
the production-supply-of cotton"
is the cry. Yes, that is right, and
make that production cheaper.
But then to bring about equity, let
those who receive many bales for
) rents reduce that, that their supply
may also be reduced, and not let
them have the same full crop, at
good prices, at the many unfortu-
nate renters expense of reducing
the acreage, or the thing might not
work fairly and satisfactorily in the
