ENerYthina Bad.

A prominent planter recently had
occasion to visit some Of his holdings
in southern Arkansas. The land was
situated several miles from a railroad,
and it was necessary to finish the
journey in a buggy. So he took a
friend with him and started out.
After traversing several miles of
sparsely settled country, they came
upon farmer plowing corn on the
side of a hill. The planter, wishing
to appear civil to his neighbors,
stopped his horse and yelled at the
man, who came to the fence, mopping
his face with red bandana.
Good morning."
"Mornin, mister!"
you live here, l suppose?"
"Yep."
"How's crops?"
Fair to middlin'."
That's a bad hill you're plowing."
II know it. Bad hoss, pullin tn

why, you talk like you were the
poorest man in Arkansas" laughed the
planter.

Support Home Newspapers.

The country newspaper is a power
in the land. It's place can never be
filed by the big daily papers or the
bulky magazines or agricultural jour-
nails. 1t fills field entirely its own.
1t is the barometer of the place in
which it is published. It's news pages
represent the life of the people, and
its advertising pages should reflect
the business activity of the town. It
is the duty of every good citizen to
give his support to the local press
Particularly the business men should
patroniZe it with view OF bettering
his trade. 1t Is not money wasted to
use advertising space in it. One good
merchant in the town who under
stands how to advertise rightly, can
bring trade to the town that will help
every other business man in it. But
all should do their part, and the store.
