BEEN SECURED FOR TODAY'S

The program of the Butler the
alter tomorrow is one that is about
equally divided with comedy and
drama. The Attack on the Mill

Emile lola and represents an cpl
sode of the Franco-Prussian war.
The scenery is very beautiful
throughout and the situations are
exceptionally dramatic. Mrs.
Bargainday's Baby" is a funny mix
up over a baby. Quite the best
features of the picture are the fool
ish looks of the young men who
receive the baby in turn and con-
trfye in some way to pass it along.
Then follows the frantic endeavors
of the mother to find the missing
youngster, as one after another
join in the chase and it becomes a
vigorous route The Troubles of
a Flirt' tells in graphic manner
the difficulties and trouble into
which flirt may be plunged. 1t is
lively and humorous throughout
and will be enjoyed by everybody.
Jewish Types in Russia is an ed
cational film which conveys valu-
able information and is very pleas
ing in the extreme. Next Tuesday
the management has made arrange
ments to produce a true picture of
ranch and cowboy life in the West.
1t was especially posed for by
Buffalo Bill and his famous troupe,
and is entitled Ranch Life in the

janitor at the college, his chief duty

A Very Valuable and Timely
Article From an Able, OBJ
serving Writer.

Dear Advertiser: Farmers are a
hopeful class, they start out in the
spring with optimistic views and
whensfalI coraes with a small yield
of farm productions they hope to
do better next year. This year has
been a disastrous one for this. sec
tion on account of the almost con-
tinuous rains during June and July,
and then the drought in August.
Some one has said if the farmers
can make only. half crops and pay
their debts and live farming must
be a pretty good occupation after
all.
But there m coming a new erea
in farming, and the farmer is COM
ing to his own. In social economy
the world wants to place him in the
third or fourth rank, when he should
occupy first. Why shouldn't he
stand aboye the artisan, the trader
and the banker 1t is his produce
that feeds and clothes the world,
and affords others opportunities to
take toll from his earnings for their
living. Yes, the farmer is coming
to his own and the next generation
of politicians will not gain popular
ity among the agricultural classes
nv dubbinp them the lone rallus.
wool hat crowd" The old negro
preacher who told his congregation,
we done been worked for the white
people 800 years and we got to
work for ourselves may have been
something of a philosopher. We
farmers have done been worked"
for the world ever since God AL
mighty turned Adam and Eve out
of the apple orchard and we must
do something for ourselves. We
must educate and take more interest
in public affairs. We can nc longer
afford to be hewers of wood and
drawers of water.
The faymefs have only learned
beA9habe.of growing crops, yet
SOC Bushels of corn and two bales
of cotton per scre are being produc.
ed. It is no uncommon thing to
read of yields of 100 bushels per
acre, and they are being made all
around us. Even here some of the
old hills above, Rocky creek have
produced good crops under the
most unreasonable conditions. Mr..
j. Duzts made 1879 bushels of
corn 'on. 3 acres at a total cost of
$500 or about 26c per bushel.
Duane QUITS, Mr.. QUITS grand son,
made SO bushels on one acre at a to-
tai cost of S14.O0 or about SOC per
bushei. Mr.. j. X. Allen will make
about rs bushels per acre at a cost
Of about csc or soc per bushel. Mr..
III. d. Padgett made sc bushels on
onesacre at a cost of about soc per
bushel. Then there is Bell, Devore,
Sawyer, Bledsoe and others to hear
from. While those yields are not
remarkable they show what can be
made under adverse conditions.
The farmers are now engaged in
sowing grain and the area sown
will depend largely upon weather
conditions. We deplore the fact
that so many are sowing western
oats when the home raised oats are
far superior to any we can buy.
And the @bole eountrywill be RUIN.
