BEST THINGS FOR FAT MEN
All the Choice PIckings In Life Re-
served for the corpuIent Accord
ing to Writer.

Fat men get all the good things
Of life. They are conducted to the
best tables at restaurants, they get
the corner seats in The theater and
always seem to have enough money
to get along without worrying. When
a fat man enters a drawing-room
doesn't he always get the most COM
Portable chair? asks the writer.
When his hat blows off on windy
day doesn't some one always run
after it for him? No one expects
him to get up in bus or a train to
give his seat to a lady-he would
block the gangway if he did. Even
his wife doesn't expect him to stoop
to pick up things when she drops
them. Everybody tells him their
best stories, because they like to hear
him laugh.

BROTHERS AS MATCH MAKERS.

1t is strange thing that mothers
are looked on as match makers,
while girls brothers never are. Yet
the fact remains that many a girl
has her brother to thank if she hap
pens to get married, and not her
mother at all.
Many woman who is happily
married to-day has her brother to
thank for it-had he not brought a
particular man about the home, why,
his sister might have remained un-
wed all her days; but very few wom-
en- give so much as thought to that.

Editor DemOcrt: :

AS there are
a great many farmers in Neshoba
county that should be members
of the Farmers Union. Those
who say that our platform and
principals are all right, still they
are on the fence and do not seem
to be dispose to join us in this
fight, therefore, let me say to
them that, if the principals are
all right, they should he in here to
help carry them out. My friend
let me ask you the following
question, DO you expect the
other fellow to carry on this
work? They have been doing
that for the past twenty years
How does the farmer stand to-
day? More than five-siXth of the
wealth of the Nation has left tie
farmers. Gigantic trusts confront
you on every hand. What about
the United Steel Trust! | refer
you to recent issue of the Com.
merical Appeals article on that
subject, that trust alone has ac-
cumulated wealth enough to
purchase the states of Kentucky,
Tennessee and Mississippi, and
one hundred thousand men in
one thousand years, at day labor,
could not purchase the United
Steel Co.
What about the lands of the
country? In the year 1905, Brit
ish manufacturers of cotton pur-
chased thousands of acres OF the
finest cotton lands of Mississippi,
Louisiana and Texas. The next
move will be to have these acres
cultivated with cheap labor.
They do not contemplate having
them worked with southern
white labor. No, they will i'm
port the worthless scums of
Europe. They will fill the south
with the dusky hordes of the Mon
gal Empire, and reduce American
labor to the standard of the pig
tailed bodies of the heathen East
One English syndicate owns
Three million Acres in Texas and
four and a half million acres in
other states. Robert Tenant, of
l. nndon, owns an area, equal to
two-thirds of Rhode Island.
Baron Scully owns two hundard
thousand acres in Illinois and
Kansas. Forign Noblemn own
thirty million. And we have
Land Lords at home. Vanderilt,
Ewo million. Deston, four mil
lion. Murphey, an area larger

friends, what are you going to do
for homes and lands for your
children. We come to you and
tell you that these millionaire
land owners will have to pack uI
their grips and follow their an
teceedents to cultivation.
Now in conclusion let, me say
to you that for tho sake of your
children, and the welfare of the
country, wake upl and join US in
this fight be men and do your
duty, but if you want help us
pull for the right all we ask is
stop your kicking and we will

COLORADO THE GREATEST.
Leads All the States In the
Production Of Sugar
BOotO.

The National farmer has the fol.
lowing to say of the season of 1907
in Colorado:
During the year 1907 the farmers
Of Colorado produced enough sugar
beets to make this the premier agri-
cultural industry of the state, and
the 16 Colorado sugar factories turn
ed out sufficient sugar to supply the
whole of the population west of the
Mississippi river. In ten years Colo
RADIO has risen to be the first sugar
producing state Of the Union. Mich
igan has 16 factories also but their
capacity is less than those in Colo
RADIO.
In all moro than 1889, lao tons of
beets were produced last year by the
farmers of Colorado from nearly $50,
600 acres of land. From this a gol.
den revenue OF more than 90, 900, 900
was poured into the pockets OF the
farmers. From this tremendous pro-
duction of the raw material the 16
sugar factories produced in round
numbers 10000 tons of sugar.
In Colorado there are at present
16 factories. The growth of the in
dustry in the last eight years has
been remarkable, aud it has been at
tanned by an increased progress and
development of business interests
throughout the state. In all parts
of tho state where crops are grown
irrigation is necessary. Draining the
Rocky Mountains toward the east are
the Platte and Arkansas rivers. With
