STRAY STREAKS.
(By Fluke McFluke.)

A statement In one OF the Owens
boro papers is to the ecect that fish
in Panther creek are so plentiful and
ravenOus that Fishermen are obliged
to get behind trees in order to bait
their hooks. We don't wish to cast
reflections on any one, but have an
idea that these Daviess County fisher
men dodge behind trees for another
purpose, and after looking a flask of
Daviess County sourmash in the face
for while of course FISH appear more
numerous and | guess do seem to
chase the said sour-mashed fishermen
upon dry land, gee how we would
love to get hold of about a gill of

A VISIT TO SPENDTHRIFT
PLANTATION.

One OF the finest plantations in
the Yazoo.Mississippi Delta is that
of Hon. J. w. Cutrer, near Matt
son, Coahoma county, known as
Spendthrift plantation, Last Sun
day ye editor and Mesdames J. l..
and Sumter Gillespie visited Mr.,
c. J. Bolen and family at Spend
thrift and took a look at the mag
nificent crops on this noted place,
of which Mr.. Bolen is the capable
manager.
There are 1850 acres in cultiva-
ton on Spendthrift- 700 acres in
cotton and $50 acres in corn and
peas. The land is as rich as a
crow ever flew over, and the
crops Of cotton and corn are as
fine as we have seen anywhere
this year-and this means that
Mr.. Bolen has perfect crop. He
believes in producing a surplus of
feedstuff each year and in making
in addition thereto as much cotton
as possible and this is the view
that every farmer and planter in
this country should take of the
farming question.
We enjoyed our brief visit to
Mr.. and Mrs. Bolen and their son
and daughter, Charlie and Grace,
and were delighted at having had
