For Better Roads.

Parties who do inter, county trav-
cling by teams are very much dis
satisfied with the condition of the
Jefferson county roads. Compari-
son with the roads of all our neigh
boring counties is always to our
disadvantage. We are told how
good the roads of Adams, Clai-
borne, Franklin and Lincoln are
compared to ours. The recent
very protracted rainy spell has
made our public highways a chain
of mud holes and loblollies, and
from sections of the county it is
impracticable to come in town
with anything approximating a
load, Involving serious inconven-
fence to farmers and planters who
desire to market their crops.
In the interest of getting move
ment started looking to having our
road system improved public
meeting of citizens will be held in
Fayette at an early date. At that
time it is hoped that every public
spirited citizen will come forward
and not only attend the meeting
but make it point to give express
sion to his views Resolutions
will not build good roads, but res
olutions, backed by public senti-
ment, will start an impetus for a
movement already heartily en-
dorsed by majority of the people
of the county.
Better roads are a necessity to
rural prosperity in Jefferson coun-
ty, and our lands will never be
valuable until passable highways,
good all the year round, are built.

Girls Canning Club Notes.

Bulletins and Tomato Seed from
the Agricultural Department have
been sent out to all club members.
Prepare the hot bed and get seeds
planted out at once.
HOW TO MAKE AHoT BED
On the south side of some build
ing or in some place protected
from the north and west winds,
make a box two feet wide and four
feet long without any bottom;
sides, one foot wide and a little
higher on the north side. Fill the
box 6 inches deep with good stable
manure. Tramp this down a little
and on top of it place about three
inches of good garden soil.
This will make hot bed. The
MANURE will warm the soil. On
this soil thus placed, plant the to-
mato seed, from Il to II inch
deep, distributing well, and as
soon as they are up an inch or
morethin the plants so that they
stand about an inch and a halt
apart each way. This will give
over 400 plants in box, Be sure
that they are kept sufficiently
moist. If there is not enough rain,
It will be welllto add enough water
to slightly saturate the soil once IN
about every three days. Cover
the box at night with a cotton
cloth, window sash or thin blanket,
but leave it exposed during the
day, unless the weather is too cold.
Cold winds are damaging. In case
of cold weather little earth could
be thrown around the bottom OF
the box and a little straw placed
over the top by putting boards on
so that the straw will not inJure
the plants. Do this for part of the
day and at night. The straw
should not Remain on too long.
This is only recommended in case
ofatemperary cold snap. Upon
this plan the plants will be hardy
and each plant will be strong.
It may be we'll to stir the soil with
4 fork to the depth of an inch or
more so as to prevent packing,
II there Is a tendency in that direc-
ton While plants are growing.
SheA the plants are about three
inches tall they can be set in the
plats of .ground. Before setting,
harrow or rake the plat SO as to
thoroughly loosen and pulverize
the soil. Then mark it out in
squares fouf feet each way for set

can be secured by having the
plants four feet apart than by set

Farmers are complaining that
Port Gibson merchants do not

This complaint is not without JUS
tihcation. While some of the mer.
chants buy on a small scale, mer-
chants of other places bay every
thing that is offered to them. This
is especially noticeable at Herman

own interests by marketing pro-
duce for the farmers, even if this
is done without profit, for The
farmer will trade with the merchant
