A Timely Warning.

Editor ReveilIe:
The time is now at hand when
the planting of the cotton crop will
begin. How very important it is
that the acreage be not materially
increased.
Let US urge the importance of
all necessary food crops for each
and every farm and plantation.
The hog crop is. now a cash crop
at any season of the year. Good
lespedeza hay is now more stable
than cotton. Cotton is ALL RIGHT
las a surplus crop. The worlds
requirements must be supplied.
This can only be done at a PROFIT
to the PRODUCER when made as a
surplus. The day of cotton as the
one crop IS past. Those who re
fuse to recognize this fact now
must do SO later at their cost.
Very truly,

A little less ready to scold and blame;
A little more care for brothers. name;
And so we are nearing the journeys end,
Where time and eternity meet and blend.
A little less care for bonds and gold;
A little more zest for the days of old;
A broader view and saner mind.
And little more love for all mankind;
And so we are faring a-down the way
That leads to the gates of better day.
A little more love for the friends of youth,
A little less zeal for established truth;
A little more charity in our views;
A little less thirst for the daily news;
And so we are folding our tents away
And passing in silence at close of day.
A little more leisure to sit and dream;
A little more real the things unseen:
A little nearer to those ahead,
With visions Of those long-loved and dead;
And so we are going where all must 60
To the place the living may never know.

GOV. MAN
BUYS LAND
Head Of Animal Husbandry fol
South Becomes Owner of
SiIlers Place.

One of the most important trans.
fers of real estate which has taken
place in the county was consum-
mated this week when A. H. Ward
and son, w. F. Ward, bought of
s. Bernheimer & Sons the Sellers
and VenabIe places, comprising
1910 acres, a lew miles west of
Port Gibson, for $4,000.
The Importance. of this sale is
not because of the property, for
these places, being billy, were not
priced above the ordinary lands in
the western portion of the county;
but because of the prominence of
the junior purchaser. Mr.. Ward
is head of the department of ami
NAL husbandrY in the south for the
United States government, is au.
thor of several works and bulle
tins, and is a recognized authority
on beef cattle. He was raised in
Alabama, has been over the whole
south several times, invested in
Cuba, ,-and finally decided that this
section pleased him better than
any other.
Mr.. Wards father will make his
home on the property which will
be developed into a stock farm.
The soil on the hills in that section
of the county extends to a depth,
ia many places, of a hundred feet,
and its ability to grow grasses is
second to none in the union. This
is what attracted Mr.. Wards at
tention and what caused him to
BUY.
