I'm the address of T. F. Peck,
Commissioner of Agriculture.
Policy OF Railroads
"Another substantial friend to
the farmeris the railroads. They
bring the markets of the world
within your reach, transport you
and your products cheaper than
any agency youDcan employ and
they are active in the develop
ment of your section. Their
policy is broad and progressive
and l am glad to see that the
farmers are less inclined to listen
to the demagogue politician who
is courting popular favor with
!
his senseless TRADE of abuse of
the 'soulless corporation The
railroads are spending more
money to develop the agriculture
of Tennessee than any other
Organization and should be given
the credit they are Justly entitled
to.
The future of the farmer in
Tennessee is promising. If he
will take as much interest in
himself and his work that is beins
taken In him, he will succeed

plant bed destroyed one night last
week. After the rain the bed was
visited to get plants and, it was
found that not only were the tobacco
plants destroyed but that some cab
bage plants were also dup up. Only
one bed was visited, there being
another not found evidently because
there was no canvas over it. This
would seem to indicate that 1t was
done by some one not familiar with
the farm of Mr.. Todd. The track OF
only one person was found around
the bed, though it had rained since

THE WHIG'S MAGAZINE

THE WHIG, in announcing that it
will furnish to it's subscribers high
class monthly magazine, "Our Coun-
ty', wants to emphasize it's reasons
for this departure. The Whig has
quite consistently declined to enter
upon any special arrangements in the
nature of special inducements to the
public to increase it's circulation, SIM
ply because we have believed that the
best inducement in the world for in
telligent people to take a county
newspaper is to make that newspaper
a fair and fearless medium of local
news and local public affairs.
In making this new departure and
offering our patrons this monthly ma
gazine without extra cost, we do so
for two reasons:
In the first place because it is ma
gazine carrying the sort of clean and
helpful reading that people ought to
have and may serve to counteract the
sort of trashy literature that is put
out by the mail-order advertising
firms.
In the second place, we present the
magazine because it carries no mail
order houses as advertisers, permit
Jlng no advertisers TO come INTO ltS
columns except our local dealers and
the trademark houses whose goods
are handled by local dealers. This is
the paramount consideration with us
in offering the magazine. We believe
that there is no greater menace to our
local tradespeople, than the mail-or-
der houses, which are extending their
business enormously in our own and
every other community. They take
thousands of dollars from this county
annually-and return nothing fer it,
in the form of taxes, wage payments,
etc. We are great believers in patron
izing the people amongst whom we
live. 1t is not only fair and right, but
it is sound business sense to do so.
Hence our interest in the publica-
ton and presentation of our magazine
-"Our County"
