LITTLE FOLKS AND CHRISTMAS

The stores in Walhalla present a
more Christmas-like appearance now
than they have for several years at
this season. This would seem 10 in
dictate that the Great Day this year
holds much in store for the little
ones. And so it should. The coun-
try is in more prosperous condition
by far than last year, and it is but
right that the little folks, the young
people, too. and 1.-The old folks at
home" should enjoy the Christmas
tide to a marked degree.
There are now but ten more days
until Christmas. If you have not al
ready made your preparations for
beStowing gifts. do so at once. Don't
wait till the last minute. There will
be plenty Of others to do that. The
stores have prepared early to meet
your requirements. Go now and
make your selections. Leave the last
days before Christmas to the elev-
enth-hour shoppers. No small amount
OF purchasing has already been
done; lots and lots Of the little folks
have been provided fol-, still there
are others yet to be supplied.
Get busy,

here and buy his food In the West;
that such a policy only makes him
poorer and his Western brother
richer every year.
Oconee farmers are right In their
start for 1910. They must keep
right, however, to complete their sue
cess. The second step is quite as i'm
portant as the first, and that second
step Is from the wheat and oat fields
to the corn field. Oconee ought to
be the banner corn growing county
in South Carolina, and 1910, we be-
lieve, Is going to bring her far up
toward the top of the list. There
are good intentions enough for the
farmers not to be side-tracked from
their good Intentions by the steady
rise In the price of cotton. The fact
that cotton now is worCh Is cents q
still higher should not cause any
farmer to Increase his cotton acreage
for 1910. Stick to corn and small
grain in ample quantities to meet all
your own needs, and plant your cot
ton for surplus. Therein lies your
salvation.
Remember that bumper" crop
Of cotton IN 1910 will mean a set
back of at least two years in your
prosperity.
