NOTICE.

A large number of subscriptions are
now due. Owing to postal regulations
we are forced to either collect or dis
continue. AS we have not time nor
opportunity to get out and see those
owing us personally, and paper at
SOC for SO issues gives us no margin to
employ an agent to travel for us, it is
necessary for us therefore to cut off all
such. If your paper fails to get to you
this is the reason for it. We regret
this course but the government says
subscriptions must be paid or else pos
tai facilities may be removed, and we
wish to make strict compliance with
the law. The continued high price Of
printing paper and increase in freight
rates also is a factor in determining
this course. We hope none will get
offended at this determination on our
part, but give us credit for sound bus
mess judgement in doing so.

STICK TO THE FARM, BOYS.

The GAINESVILLE Tobacco-Leaf Chron-
icle says: Something is wrong in the
education which makes a forty-dollar
clerk of a boy who might have made
forty Thousand dollar farmer. -
Kyrect
There's a world of truth in that
statement. But, perhaps the fault is
with the youth who gets dazzled with
the superficial glamor attached to the
forty dollar clerkship, and abandons
the farm for it. When boy does that
in nine cases out of ten he gets
as high as he ever will in the ladder of
life, as far as recompense is concern
ed. 1t is best to stick TO the farm,
and boy cannot do better than en-
bark on the career of farmer-a good
farmer, we mean, not lazy, shift
less cuss-even if he has to purchase it
literally an acre or SO at time.
One good farm, worked by farmer
with thrift and energy, is worth ood-
lums of forty-dollar clerkships to its
owner. And it is not necessary to
have acres by the hundreds, for that
would make one landpoor, which is
only step removed from actual pow
erty, but few acres well cultivated
and cared for will make the owner
happy, and if not wealthy, at least il
comfortable circumstances.

Two whiskey nabobs of Chattanooga
have declined to build $50, 600 hotel
on account of the recent action of the
legislature regarding the sale of whis-
key in the state. Their action disclos-
.es several points. In the first place,
if prohibition had been defeated they
would have built it, and if they had
built it they presumably expected to
sell enough whiskey to pay for it, and
so women and children would really
pay for that fine hotel. And what in
thunder does Chattanooga want any
more hotels for? Unless it be of the
class where man could go and drink
for week at time and have the best
of care-while his bank roll lasts. Oh,
yes there were several points in con-
nection with the building of that no,
tel, but the Legislature has knocked
them higher than kite.
