is not only a railroad man of

OUR FRIEND: FRANK HERR.

In another place the local editor has
expressed very prettily the feelings Of
the home people in parting with Mr..
Frank Herr and family on their leaving
for their new home in Greenwood, Miss, .
where Mr.. Herr has been made agent
of the Y. & M. V. station. The editor
however cannot let the occasion pass
without adding a personal word of re
greet and esteem.
Mr.. Herr is one of the most ~forceful
men in the community, and his efforts
as railroad and newspaper-man have
done much for the upbuilding of the
town. AS editor and owner Of The
Felicianas, which he published in the
late COS, he showed what he could do
in producing a superior country paper;
geographically perfect and edited in q
strong, clear way that commanded res,
pectful attention. His style in writing
is trenchant yet elegant; and he was
easily among the first of Louisiana edi,
tors so long as he cared to devote a part
of his busy days to that engrossing &C,
cupation.
For always first and foremost he has
been a railroad man. From a wide ex,
perience in ~railroading, he built, rar
and Differed generally the Jackson
Railroad, giving good service and care
full attention to every detail. Depress
ion in cotton-raising and other circum
stances have made the road Of late un
profitable to him, and led him to seel
another and a larger field.
This does not alter the feeling Of losI
that animates Jackson friends, and tina
the community in general will expert
ence in not having his strong vital per
sonality on the roll of citizens. Hi
public spirit, his kindness and helpful
ness will be missed. To US he has bee
a kind and ]appreciative confrere an
friend, even when we differed with O
criticised him. This showed his mora
greatness, and we take pleasure &C
cordingly in expressing our appreciatiot
of him. May he prosper wherever h
goes and find friends as true as he ha
ever been to us. Jackson, La, Record

WHY 1T PAYS.

Briefly. the philosophy of the advan-
tage Of clover growing lies in this fact
that, while a ton of clover hay takes
from the soil about So in fertilizing
elements. there is added to the soil
through the root systems. which take
nitrogen from the air. about the same
volume of fertilizers. This means that
one can grow clover and just about
keep even. However. If one feeds this
clover hay on the farm and returns the
manure to the soil the farm will be
the gamer by approximately 81 worth
of fertilizers for every ton of hay pro-
duced. 1t is due to this fact that sec
tons where dairying is carried on and
where cattle and sheep are fed become
more fertile and prosperous as the
years go by.
