GRENADA COUNTY'S OPPORTUNITY.

The year 1916 is redoent with opportunities for Grenada COM
ty, especially to the farmers, that have never presented themselves
before. In the hrst place there is a more intelligent conception of
what real farming is than ever before and the people everywhere
are realizing mat they are but parts of the great machinery of the
world M that IN a greater or less degree, they are linked with the
tate OF their neghbor and their neighbours neighbor, indeed the
world at large. Such a view naturally broadens ones mental hori-
zon and causes him to plan and direct his affairs somewhat in ac-
cordance with the thought and the purposes of The remainder of the
civiIzed world. The present European war has furnished another
striking object lesson that men, that nations even, can not live TO
themselves.
Grenada county has a trained farm demonstration in her midst
VINO is anxious and willing to show the results of better farming
methods; besides the farm demonstrator, there is a lady in onr
midst, Miss Annabell Hughes, who is prepared to show the good
women o: the county how they can simplify their domestic duties.
how they can can their vegetables and their fruits easier and cheaper
than ever before, and many other matters that tend to increase the
profits of the farm as well as to make rural life more attractive. 1t
ing together for the accomplishment of one purpose. When people
are brought together. socially they are together for almost everv.
thing else that is uplifting and benefcent.
Again, there is abroad in the comfy a sentimen t. YEA q conv;c-
ton, that we must have better roads, permanent road. and the peo-
pie nav. reached the place where they realize that to get permanent
roads they must be willing to go down into their pocket books to
loot the bills, and they are ready to do this. In building permanent
roads W e not only do that which adds to the benefits and the con-
and the comforts of those of the present, but we are law
ing foundations for the betterment of our children and chilbrens
ch'ldren. with permanent roads, farm values increase. better coun-
try schools and school houses come and more churches and better
social economic conditions obtain. Permanent roads make NEIGH.
visiting easier and quicken interest in all that pertains TO
the peace, progress and prosperity of the community.
Grenada county is at the threshold of a new and better dav.
