Erecting Creamery Plant.

Forest City.-B. H. Bridges, secre
tary and treasurer of the Farmers Co.
operative Creamery, has given out the
information to the effect that the site
for the creamery will not be near the
Seaboard depot, as rumored, but in
the southern part of town. Two acres
of land lying on the Southern Rail
way has been purchased from Charles
Ford, and the erection of the build
ing will begin at once. The building
will be of brick with concrete floors
2Sx51 feet. Power and heat will be
furnished with boiler. 1t is probable
that an ice plant will be installed in
connection with the creamery at an
early date. The plant when completed
will represent an outlay Of about
$4,000.

Expectations of tobacco, potatoes and
peanuts will be on an increased scale

Regarding tho advice so generous
ty handed out to the farmers from
everywhere the commissioner says
that one great trouble has been that
the mark has been overshot; it isn't
so much what should be done to-

know, but what should be done to-
day. A community must elevate it.
self, and must have self-respect and
realize it's ability to rise before it
can do so. Mr.. Graham asks,
while impressing upon our people
how low they stand in literacy, why
not tell them that they exceed all
other southern states in what is be-
ing done in increased production Of
the whole crop and upon an acre."
Messengers sent the farmers may be
ever so eloquent, but to be effective
there must be close sympathy and
cooperation to accomplish anything.
