South Coming Into Her Own.

The south. as an agricultural
section is just beginning to find
itself, and once she falls into her
stride there is scarcely any limit to
her possibilities for diversified
production" writes Barton W,
Currie, formerly a we'll known
newspaper man on the staff of the
New York World, in the first of a
series of articles on Down South
The New Era of Optimism and
Opportunity" which begins in the
February IA issue of The Country
Gentleman. "There is every fun
damental reason today for the
south to lead the nation in the
production of beef cattle, pork and
mutton; moreover, there is every
where in the south what the law
yers call newly discovered 'eyl-
dence' to prove that the possibili::
ties are being capitalized and will
eventually pay splendid dividends.
The economic cut off is straight=
away south.
The new generation in the
south has every apparent reason to
stay at home and grow with the
country.

oxen of the monster Geryon, the
golden apples of Itesperlde, and
fetching from the Internal Regions

labors of our president as com

prohibit interlocking directOrates;
maintain the Monroe doctrine;
avoid war with or on account of
Mexico; check the SOILS system IN

A town that is not made Access

good roads is in a more or less iso-

What a blessed thing it would

What a blessed thing it would
be if one could ran a newspaper
and never ask some of its sub.
scribers to pay up. As long as
the paper goes on week after week
and no statement for arrearages,
everything goes like clock work
and you are one of the best and
most accommodating editors on
earth; your items are highly pol
ished; your advice followed; your
savings gladden. the hearts of the
household and happiness reigns
supreme. Bat Oh what brute
you are after sending paper for
a year for nothing, if you politely
send in your bill and ask what is
justly due you, Delhi Progress.
