News From Over The County.
NESBITT.

We have been absent from the
.o1,rns of the grand old Journal
for some time. Have just been too
.,sv with the cares and labors of
+rrck farmer to find time to
write.
We svmpathize with all the papers
managers and readers in the loss of
our Washington correspondent, for
we sadly miss him, and feel and
.ooIize that we have lost a true
friend.
Rev. A. c. Cantrell filled his regu-
lar appointment here last Sunday
morning and night. His text was
taken from James, the 3rd Chapter
and 2nd verse IF and man offend
not in word the same is a perfect
man and able also to bride the
Whole body. His sermon Sunday
night was very fine.
The friends of Mrs. A y. Edwards
will be sorry to know that her health
does not improve any
Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Camp, of Carmi-
chaels. visited Mrs. Jane Camp Sat
urday night.
We are sorry to note the little
Miss Lucille Griggs has relapsed
with typhoid fever.
Mr.. Martin A Griggs and little
daughter, Alice, spent Sunday with
Mrs A. A. Criggs, Of Macland. 1t
was her seyeny-fifth birthday.
We recently spent a few hours at
Mr.. ]. T. Anderson's farm Cor fair)
for indeed it is live stock and agri-
cultural fair within itself. Just as
fine Berkshire hogs as can be seen
any where. IS heads of Hereford
cattle as good as the blue grass re-
gion of Kentucy affords. Calves not
four montas old that he has refused
$4,000 for, one two-year old yearl-
ing that weighs 1900 lbs. and valued
at 100000, another five years old
and weighs 1900 pounds, and valued
at $1,000. Seventy acres in corn
that will easily average so bushels
per acre. Now just think for min
ute that farm in Cobb County will
produce $500 bushels of corn, be-
sides having already made over 1000
bushels of wheat and oats On this
farm are 10 acres in cotton that
they are quite sure will make 20
bales. Sweet potatoes that are
making more than 800 bushels per
acre and one Of the finest crops of
Lookout Mountain Irish potatoes that
we have ever seen grown. Also an
Alfalfa meadow that would do credit
1t to Oklahoma. What is being done
on MIR. Anderson's farm can be done
on any farm if Suitability is ap-
pied like Ed Legg and six hired men
with eight head of horses have gone
after things down there this year.
Ed says that Farmer John beat
MIN making oats this year but he
intends to see that he don't do it
next year.
The oat crop that was planted in
cobb county last fall proved a great
success and save many farmer
from having to give 16 pounds of
GOOD INT cotton this fall for a bushel
ol corn to lay by his crop with,
There should be twice as many acres
| planted to oats and wheat this fall
5 as Ihere was last. We have never
Yet known a man TO have tn hee tho
merchants to buy his wheat and
oa'S' And buy the way, that brings
Os 10 another point. We are on
posed to boycotting but if the other
'eiIo" hlts you it's quite natural
~ MI back And if two or three
men IN town can nav 10 can+c q
pounu Tor cotton on accounts every
1'oH III the same business can do it,
anu NAe farmers ought to keep every
pound OF it at home until they get
soou and willing to give it or give
oil u their cash trade to the man
wat Is giving 10 cents to his Gus
,0"ers and then give all his time
uaoe to that man next year for he
'Ne farmers friend. And a friend
neeo Is friend in deed.
" your horse or mule should stick
nan in his foot just fill the place
-u'' Oh black ink and you will have
~ more trouble with it,
rev. 5 E. CASSIDY Will preach here
next Sunday night.
DON'T YOU SEE.
