From all appearonces it seems
that the brumal davs are gone and
the estival are in their stead. With
the change green f'liago has begun
to put forth its beautiful appear.
ance, little birds have hrgun to
chirp their sweet songs; the far
mer has begun to till the soil for
another crop, lien time is in order,
guano is plentiful, soon tho old
woman can get new dress on thai
lien the girls new hats and John a
pair of brogan shoes; May will be
here and what nice time at the
big meetings
Well, if it was not for tho "ins,'
there would be no pleasure and
life would not be worth living, and
on the other hand if there were no
"outs" lazy man would never
" )rk any, consequently his dlges-
tive organs would soou g~t 90 they
wouldn't work, and like an old
wagon he would s, on lie no good.
So you see everything Is for pur.
pose. If you don't grease Il wagon
it won't last, and il a person don't
work to get creased they won't
last. We often think 1T ought to
be Il Sill, whether 1t is or not, for IL
lazy mans children to have to work
SO hard to keep their daddy from
screaking. We have often thought
that if we had had n "screaky
daddy we would have played out
a little too, and maybe wo could
have out lasted him, and if we
could, after he was gone we would
have now boxes put in and try to
make very respectable old wag-
on. If any person will visit n cot
ton mill and soc the daddies that
are being creased by their children
they will say something ought to
be done to check the tide. Those
"screaky" daddies are the best in
formed men we have so to speak
They are real entertaining, and
always among a crowd. They
know just exactly how much grease
it takvs to keep the whcsl turning,
and whenever the Cotton Nj i'll Co.
fails 10 give their children enough
to heep that wheel CREASED without
any work ON their part they are
then ready to seek ether quarters,
aud the mill behind them is no
good. What a blessed thing it is
that such men are blessed With
children, for it would he deplora-
BILE to hear of q man perisning to
death on account of laziueSs. Take
notice We don't style evory man at
a cotton mill as "screaky" man,
but Just those who don't work
themselves and depend on their
little childron for a support A
cotton mill is a good place for a
smart man. There is good money
for a working man. We know Of
mon that lave made handsome
sums at a cotton mill aud redeemed
their land from under mortgage,
The fapn,ers have been making
good use Of the dry weather. Some
are ready to plant and some have
planted.
!Ir. I. e. Cook, Of Norris, planted
soma cott,n April 1st. We will
watch his patch.
Mr.. j. G. Garrett informs us
that he has sold about 500 tons o
guano from Norris up to date. He
has sold more up to the time OF
year than he ever has before, but
it don't mean that there is ,beiDG
moro guano used. Heretofore there
were four other agents that solo
from Norris IN large quantities
and this season there have beer
only two car loads sold there be-
sides what Mr.. Garrett has sold.
Mr. Garrett shipped over 20(
tons of cotton seed from Norris il
the past few weeks. He has i'm
ported and exported about 1000
tons of stuff from Norris and t.
Norris in the past twelve months
lie buys cotton seed meal an
hulls and sells at the same price Q
the Liberty Oil MiN which is
great accommodation to the sur
rounding community. Mr.. Gar
