Half Your Living
Without Money Cost

A right or wrong start in 1915 will
make or break most farmers in the
Cotton States. We are all facing
crisis on cotton. Cotton credit is up
set. The supply merchant cannot al
vance supplies on 1915 cotton. You
must do your best to produce on your
own acres the food and grain supplies
that have made up most Of your store
debt in the past.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. 1t will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres Of cotton you
ever grew! But it must be real
garden, and not the mere one-plant-
ing patch in the spring and fail.
Hastings 1915 Seed Book tells all
about the right kind of money-sav-
ing garden and the vegetables to put
in it. It tells about the field crops
as well and shows you the clear road
to real farm prosperity, comfort and
independence. IT'S FREE. Send for
it today to n. G. HASTINGS & CO.,

LEESBUkG NEEDS MORE
DWELLING HOUSES

The question Of building new
dwellings, apartments and store
houses is not only seriously oceu-
plying the minds OF commercial
bodies, builders exchanges and
real estate dealers, but is getting
up to the individual owners Of real
estate and small investors here end
elsewhere.
In Leesburg there is no lumber
trust. Prices are regulated by the
law of supply and demand. and
due to this lumber and mill work
and other materials sell for less to-
day than for some time past. La
Dor is plentiful, hence can be en-
ployed for less monty than usual,
Architects, contractors, supply
merchants and working forces esti-
mate that building today can be
completed for Is per cent. less than
at this time last year.
Leesburg suffers for the want Of
good houses for homes. Desirable
lots can be had, and are owned by
those capable of improving them
with good homes.
If those Of our citizens who can
make these improvements will heed
the appeal of the Build One"
campaign, our,town will enter on
a career of building such as it has
not enjoyed for long time. Not
only this, but the money spent
would bring in a good income, the
idle would be employed, wages
would go to the merchants and to
other avenues eff trade. If the
spirit of the brotherhood of man
prevailed happiness would abound
in the land.
Business is not bad. Help make
it better. Think it over. Those
of you who can build do so and
see if the man out of work can't be
made busy.

PROSPERITY In SOUTH
PREDICTED BY HELM

Washington, D. c., Jan. 23-
Representative Hefin Of Alabama
told the House today that he ex-
pected to see the price for cotton
"go up to around 20 cents" in the
winter Of 1915.
1.-THE day Of diversified farmir g
has come in the SOUTH he said !.
There is dawn OF new day.
My people have been taught BY a
bitter experience to break the
shackles that have bound them 70
one idea in farming The day is
coming, not far off, when the feles
will blossom, along with cotton,
with corn, oats, wheat and peas.
With those as the base Of supplies,
as fertilization, the farm will die
tate the prices Of cotton to the
world.
King Cotton 70 longer will be
the only product on the Southern
farm but just one Of al multiplicity
Of products, No longer will it be
a burden, but b'es ing. With
=
the strength that the diversified
idea gives the farmer, cotton will
be given her place in the markets
of the earth. ?
Mr.. HeAin contended that beal
speculators'' had used the power
the farmers had placed in theil
hands to beat down the price 81

AN OPEN LETTER TO
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Gentlemen:
A number Of times citizens of the
Central Settlement have appeared
before your honorable body and
asked that the old Graves Mill road,
leading from the Starksville or Al
bany-Leesburg road be opened and
n bridge built across the creek. /
want to say that our people are
landowners, moi renters. They pay
road tax (minus the road and are
progressive, good people who were
used to good roads, bridges, schools
and churches, where they came
from. Some are native Georgians
and others from North Carolina and
Alabama. They are here to build
a white mans colony and do good
farming, stock raising, etc, and need
some consideration at your hands,
and this road and bridge is not for
their convenience alone but for the
citizens across the creek and the
public generally. Now / hope that
at your next meeting you will take
up this matter and decide to build
this bridge at once. This bridge
would give us access to another rail
road and prove a wonderful con-
venience in a number of WAYS
AS to the road once opened up
and put in good shape, while the
people pay road tax they will keep
the road on both sides of the creek
in good order in future without one
cent of expense to the county. I
would like to also call your atten-
ton to the bad condition of the Al
hany-Leesburg road. In the swamp
known as Lovers Lane, the road
is now almost impossible, not even
jackassable and should have some
work done on itat once.
Respectfully,
w. T, Christopher.

The journal wants every item Of
local news in town and country
that it is possible to obtain, fresh

field is always given preference
over items Of general interest, as it
is affairs personal toa community
that attract MOTT interest and come
within the particular sphere Of the
county papes.
The Journal is the servitor Of all
the people, and as such plays no
favorites. Its aim is tc be Of real
service to the town and commune
ity. There never was a newspaper
in any locality that gave all the
local happenings. 1t is often that
some one comes or goes that the
reporter did not see. 1t happens
that the family is missed several
times. They get tile impression
that the editor does not care to
mention them. This is a mistake,
In most towns the local work is the
hardest work connected with a news
paper. A man may lie a good
editorial writer but fat failure in
| the local work, and vice versa. Ed
| ltorial material is obtain
ed by reading newspapers, some
times by using scissors. Personals
and local happenings can't be read
and clipped from newspapers. not
.Eby a joyful It takes physical ex-
ertion as well as mental to get out
six or eight columns Of local news
in town4of this size.
Most people take a local paper
/ primarily for the local news. Do
not be afraid to tell the editor or
society reporter that you have
friends visiting you. There are
lots Of people who are interested in
your friends visiting you. There

don't wait till too late and then have to
regret it,
T@ HE BEST THING we know o. right now
to boost business and create confidence
in returning prosperity is debt paying
campaign The very best way to begin business
operations for the new year is determined effort
TO clear away debts. This determination on the
part Of every one to pay off all debts would do
more to open up the clogged channels oftrade than
anything else.
In season Of business depression or panic
money is entirely too timid. People who have
any seem to hold on to it as if they thought they
would not see any more Money does absolutely
no good unless it is kept circulating paying debts,
buyng commodities; that is what it is for.
We believe at this time tits a solemn obligation,
duty every man owes to his community to set
about systemically paying his debts. Don't reject
this campaign because you have not enough to pay
off all your obligations; j you can't do any better
adopt the dollar down and dollar a month plan.
Get out your shrinking dollar and start it its mission
Of redemption. Money talks, and this dollar will bring
message Of cheer to the merchant who has been carrying
your account last spring when you laying out
schedule on the basis of fourteen cent cotton
This dollar skulkng in hiding will go from hand to
hand once it is started and will pay dozens Of debts Turn
it loose start it on its way rejoicing
1t takes some courage down accustomed expend
lures aud do without things you want but if that
sary to this debt paying campaign develop little Spartan
spirit and do it,
If everybody in the town and county could agree day
and use every dollar available pay debts it would have
marvellous effect But don't wait for this make every day
debt paying day Count that day lost whose low descend
ing sun does not effort your part toward rduc
ing your list of debts.
Turn your money loose matter how small the amount
1t will go debt paying round and get back to again
Take up this debt paying campaign in earnest make it
real campaign Let march against the forces of sagna
ton and we think need marching song here Isl
Go, little dollar, go,
Paying an honest debit
It's long, long way to liquidation,
But you'll get there yeti
