Farmers. Attention.

The farmer in the North and
West grows grain, hay, hogs.
cattle. mules and horses. His
land is worth $100 to $500 per
acre. He has never raised any
crops but those named above.
He has money in the bank. His
barns, dwellings and fences are
far better than ours. He is buy
ing land in the South by the
thousands OF acres every year.
Did you ever consider why his
condition financially is SO much
better than ours? 1t is simply
this, he grows food crops and
live stock. From his own crops
he takes a good living for his
family and what he sells is main
ly so much money to put in the
bank or to invest. Did you ever
figure how much better off you
would be if each year that you
have farmed, you had first raised
your corn, hay, meat, one CT
more mule colts to supply your
need for plough stock and then,
after these things, as much cot.
ton as you could? If not, do this:
You must figure. Your merchant
or banker could not get along
without figuring on their busi-
ness, and you must figure on
yours. If you will in 1910, first
raise everything you need includ-
ing garden and chickens. you
will find that the proceeds of
your cotton crop will, in the
main, be surplus money which
you can invest. Don't blame
the farmer in the North and
West because he is getting rich
off of us; don't blame the
government; don't blame your
landlord or your merchant, but
give this matter your careful
consideration. If you find that
this suggestion is right, then put
it into practice. You know, and
we know, that the South can
raise it's corn. hay, hogs and
mules. Let US own our fault,
mend our slack farming, pro-
duce our food crops for 1910 and
be Independent. = Commercial
Appeal.

Number Your House.

An ordinance was passed some
time ago requiring Ill residents
of the city to number their resi-
dences and places of business.
The object of this ordinance was
to get the town ready for the
installation Of free delivery OF
the mails. Some have complied
with the requirements and the
time is drawing near when the
work of numbering the houses
must be completed.
An inspector for the govern
ment will visit us early in JAN
uary for the purpose of looking
over the city and making a re-
port on the conditions existing
at that time. The houses must
be numbered, the sidewalks and
street crossings must come up
to the requirements laid down
by the government before the
order is made by the Postoffice
Department granting the town
free delivery.
The streets are being placed in
order as rapidly as possible ano
unless the weather prevents, tbs
inspector will find the streets
are oil right. The city, if the
numbering is not soon completed
will find it necessary to take
charge and finish the numbering
at the expense of the property
owners.

Although the weather was
very inclement, within all was
bright and cheerful at the home
of Mrs. B. I. Clark on Wednes-
day last, when Mrs. Richard
Clark entertained the As You
Like 1t Club with box party.
After being served to hot chocoi
late and waters the guests were
taken into the parlor, where the
decorations of bells, ETC.,
reminded one of the approaching
holidays. Miss Martha Poston,
Of Memphis, was the guest of
honor. After an excitin ex-
ching exchange Of parcels un-
sight, unseen," Mrs. Clark gave
to each a box. telling her to find
her partner and write verse Of
poetry on the supposed con-
tents. Great merriment was
caused by the reading of these
verses. A salad course was
served by the hostess, her moth
ther, Mrs. Weaver and Mrs.
Boozer. Again the boxes were
in evidence. this time containing
sandwiches and olives. As the
twilight drew near each guest
bade the charming hostess a
regretful goodbye.

The Methodist Sunday School
has planned a pleasant Santa
Claus surprise for the boys and
girls in the orphans home at
jackson. Next Sunday each
member of the school will bring
with them to the regular session
of the school a Christmas stock
ing filed with cool things for
the little folks. Be sure each
stocking is securely tied at the
top and carries the card with the
child's name on it, also the name
Of the sender. If the little fel-
lows in Jackson enjoy the Christ
mas stockings as much as the
Tupelo boys and girls enjoy
giving them, it will be q truly
happy Christmas for then.

An Object Lesson.

Taking the cotton crops of Lee county for the
1908 and 1909 and comparing the number Of bales made
each year and the value Of each years crop, find
demonstration OF the oft repeaced fact that small crop
is worth much to the producer large crop.
Below is given the number of bales for each year and
the value of each years crop:
Ne. of Bales Average with Seed Total Value
1908-25000 S5o.G0 $1,250,0G0
1909-16 600 $500 100000
5000 $4,000
With 1000 bales less receive within $50 coo of
what got for the crop of 1908 The crop of 1903 turn
ed loose county S65 per capita for each
and child white and black in the county The returns
for the crop Of 1909 will fall short about per capita for
the entire population cf the county.
The above showing is not bad one, and but for the
fact that the of hay and meat is short of last
years CROP the county would be in admirable shape
begin another years business.
With these facts and figures before it should be
an easy matter induce the farmers of the county cut
down their acreage of cotton in 1910 and make effort
produce full supply of food sufs for both and
his domestic animals

10Th, 1909, Mrs, Lille Shelton. only
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. George Good
lett. Sorrowing father and mother,
accept this tribute Of love to the mem
ory of Lille. We loved Lille too, and
It's hard to say "Thy will be done. "
All our hearts are sadly weeping
For friend cherished long and warn.
Whose spirit now is calmly sleeping
Secure from grief and earthly harm.
All Chesterville sighs and waits today
The death Of her child beloved and
dear,
Each heart beats funeral lay;
Each soul is bowed by sorrow here.
Mother, cherished, cease your wailings,
Meekly bow to His holy will;
Tho human consolation failing,
Heaven, your molrnful sghs can still.
Afflicted mother, we loYed thy darling
And deeply do we mourn her loss.
Yet we hear her faint Voice calling;
Meekly bow beneath thy cross.
Dear mother, hear our words consoling,
God aff1icts thee not in vain,
Through your heart her death -knelPs
toliing.
Yet. He'll give you strength to bear
the pain.
Though bright is beauty's flower,
Too soon it must be decay,
It bloc MS but for little while
Then doomed o fade away.
But virtue, true nd sacred, lives
Beyond the reach or change of time,
It's grace, it's loyliness survives
To bloom in heaven i cline.
Sleep softly in the dast;
Wait on the Almighty will;
Then rise and be an ang still
One wto loved her.
