PR|MUS COMMUNITY
AGAIN REPRESENTED
WRITES ON MANY TOPICS
Says Heath Springs Is to Build
Flour Mill-COmmunity
Crops Very Short.

MI. EultOT. i again take tne
privilege of dotting a few lines for
The News. The farmers Of this COM
munity are busy gathering their
crops and making preparations to
SOW wheat and oats The cotton
crop is very short, not even half of
crop will be made. The weed is
dying with the bolls unmatured. The
farmers are preparing to SOW large
acreage of wheat this fall. There is
not farmer in this community but
who is going to sow wheat, having
realized that the only salvation for
the farmer Is to make his hog and
hominy at home, and raise cotton as
a surplus. Too many have their corn
cribs and smoke house away out in
the West. Next year promises to be
hard year for the "clod-hopper,"
but fith pluck and energy and
economy he can pull through and be
benefited from the lesson he has
learned this year.
While in town last Saturday / met
Uncle John S. Blackmon, who has
just returned from Texas, where he
has been visiting during the summer.
He said the crops are short in Texas,
not over half. / asked Uncle John
how he liked Texas. He answered
very well, butt asked him what
Kind of people were the Texans. He
replied they are good, clever peo-
pie but-but what Uncle John I ask
ed-he replied they are lazy peo-
pie, and saw some of them reapine
oats on Sunday. He further stated. .
Texas, will 40 for young man but
1 am too old and it doesn't suit me.
/ have home here. Home Sweet
Home" / asked him-do you ever
expect to go back to Texas. He re-
piled 1 never expect to see Texas
again, however, If were to go bacl,
/ would have to leave Nancy here
1t is quite interesting to hear him
tell about the different things he saw
while in Texas.
Well, Mr.. Editor, just word
about our -four mill: AS everybody
knows, l have been advocating IL for
TWO years. While in Heath Springs
the other day l was informed that
we were going to have one in Heath
Springs without a doubt, and Heath
Springs people don't do things bv
halves. What they propose they
perform. Now If Heath Springs gives
us a roller mill why not Lancaster
get busy and build a hospital for
Lancaster county It. seems to me
that such an institution would he a
paying proposition for any capital
1st to invest in, and | think if some
people get any worse than they have
f4r the last month, il would be n
GOOD idea for some man to adyncate
hospital FOR the insane at some
point in the county At our last pri
mary election some peoples ideas
went wrong and they said some very
hard things about those who voted
for Governor Manning; saying they
voted the Republican ticket and that
they used money and bought votes.
Some very hard things have been
said about the writer Of this article
but to these / give the following
advice. Before retiring take large
dose of Dodson's Livertone or Lax
Fos with which to cleanse the liver.
Can be found at any of the drug
stores and in the morning / think
they will feel better. AS for buy
Ing votes, would regret to know
that ! was on the cheap side that
could be bought or was on the mar
ket for sale. n. F. ADAMS
