clouds over everything TO cheer US
on our way. We feel martyrs, mis-

others who have TO bear our fancied
grievances come to regard US as

not be SO. Let us enjoy the good

refusing TO meet future troubles
halfway. Many give their troubles
too much place in their thoughts

The discipline of life is here good
and there evil. here trou BILE and there

CoIored Farmers in Missis sippi.

Most of the colored farmers in
Mississippi have an erroneous
idea of farming In the first
place they do not understand any
philosophy or science of agrlcul-
ture, to amount TO much, second
ly they don't diversity their
crops, Down in Mississippi a
colored man will plant 80 acres
of cotton and Is or 20 acres of
corn. Just two times as much as
he should plant, aud is, there
fore unable to cultivate his enor-
nous crop-sOme parts of his
plantation is grown up in weeds
before he can get to it-he is
paying rent on 35 or 40 acres,
but Can only work half of it,
therefore he is throwing away
money Another thing: our farm.
ers in the south have got to be
more economical some of them
must be more Industrious.
You do not know it, but there
Is a class who would not work on
saturday if their crop was "dy,
ing for just one day work, Oh
no, he must go to town. Also
there is a class who, when the
Associations and big Meetings,
Quarterly Conferences, ETC.,
start say: fare thee crop,
bitches up the mules to the
wagon and takes Dina and the
children, the dog, elc., and goes
to Big Bethel way over on
Mud Creek and stay for 10 days
10 days work at certain time
of year is worth TT ousands Of
dollars.
Our people should plant a
small crop, cultivate 1t well
raise all their hogs, chickens, a
good garden. have good or
chard; can fruit. raise watermel
ons, sweet and irish potatoes and
quit running large accounts
raise your milk and butter and
when you sell cotton, even If you
only have two or three bales, you
only owe about $50 and there is
profit. Also give your children
advantage OF the schools-as
poor as the school system over
Mississippi is. there are too
many coIored people who do not
send their children to school one
half the time schools are in Ses-
sion. Our people will never be

elevate people beyond its intel :
