6. When the living has been
provided, grow cotton for the
main money crop. If this is
done there will always be a few
eggs and chickens, a pig now
and then, and occasionally a
steer for sale. and out of these
surplus or sundry products let
us pay the farm expenses.
Safe farming was given a
wonderful endorsement by the
bankers assembled at the Cotton
States Bankers Conference in
December. They have invited
producers to cooperate with
bankers to that end that safe
farming may receive proper fl
nancial accommodation at rates
and upon terms as favorable as
those furnished to commerce
and industry.
The situation has not changed.
There is still uncertainty. No
one knows what the future of
the cotton market will be. Let
US therefore, insure the living
by safe farming. If bankers
and business men will cooperate
with farmers to extend credit
upon this plan, we will soon ap-
proach that degree of prosperity
to which the Southern farmer is
justly entitled.
Safe farming, an insured liv-
ing and thrift will surely bring
a Happy New Year to many a
family, and the Merry Christ
mas in many a farm home will
be more than the mere spirit of
the season.
Very truly yours,
BRADFORD KNAPP,
Chief.

Missionary Pageant to be GiveI
at the Presbyterian Church

The ladies and young people
of the Presbyterian church are
planning a Missionary Pageant
to be given Sunday night,
March 26th.
1t is a Home Mission enter
tainment entitled Christ in
America. !"
All departments of the church
work report the possibility of
deficits at the end of the present
church year March 91st) unless
the churches take take vigorous
methods at once to raise the
necessary funds. Mite boxes
have been distributed, as far as
possible, among the members,
but whether they have a box or
not every Presbyterian is urged
to be present, on this occasion,
and to make as liberal an offer
ing as possible, that our local
church may not fall behind in
her contribution to the general
work of the Presbyterian church.
If you have not yet given the
tenth of your money due the
Lord, will you not now bring in
your 1.-THE into His store house,
expecting Him to fulfil His
promise in return of pouring out
so bountiful a blessing that
there shall not be room to
receive it.

E. b. Buckingham Dead.

Another old soldier has heard
the long roll beat, to fall in line
on the other side of the river,
where the roar of artillery and
the rattle Of musketry shall be
heard no more. There to inherit
through eternity the blessings of
peace, that God has reserved for
those who have done their duty
to their God, their neighbers and
their country.
Bro. e. B. Buckingham, after
living a long and useful life, has
moved out into the mysterious
beyond and his familiar voice
shall no more be heard among us.
His was an active life, he was
always on the firing line as a
soldier, and carried the marks
on his own body to show that
where the bullets fell thickest
and the storms cloud ragged the
fiercest he was at his post, will
ing to sacrifice even life itself,
for his convictions of duty.
He was a very positive man,
and spoke his feelings on all
questions without fear or favor.
He was nearly " years old -
married in 1861, and had Is chill
dren, II of whom are now living.
His wife and children were very
fond of him in his old age, as he
was a model man in his family
relations.
1t was a touching sight to see
his strong sons and daughters
from several states attend his
funeral and follow him to his
last resting place.
His funeral was preached at
the Baptist Church by Rev. E. E.
Thornton, of Houston, who had
been the teacher Of his children,
and pastor in his family.
Brother O'Briant, pastor Of the
Baptist Church at Okolona, (who
had known him only a few
months), spoke very feelingly of
the good impression Brother
Buckingham had made on him,
as his pastor for only a short
while.
He was a bright Mason, as ty-
Ter of the lodge, was always
present. He was buried by the
Masons, as was his request.

Missionary Meeting Held.

tell you it nearly took the
breath of an "old woman" like
myself to walk from "Hubbard's
Hill" to Mrs. d. c. Hairs, the
exact opposite corner of town,
where the Missionary Society
met Monday afternoon. So if we
leave anything untold that we
ought to have told, we hope you
will pardon us.
We feel indebted to Mrs. Hair
for her most cordial invita-
ton, for so many being present,
especially those borne on the
tottering footsteps of age.
Interesting reports were given
Of the Clarksdale conference by
Mesdames Harbour, Miller and
Shell, with promises of more
such inspiring information later
on.
Topic for discussion was I'm
'stitutions for the Care of the
Sick, and Prevention of Dis
eases. "
Attention was called by intelli-
gent readings to the various hos
pitals, which are the outcome Of
the missionary work, and the
wretched condition of our county
poor house. To put Home Mis-
sion in Action" plans were sug-
gested for the betterment of
same and visiting the Jail. So
accordingly committees were ap-
pointed by Mrs. Maggie Pannell
to carry out these suggestions.
1t shows consideration to speak
of these conditions, but the more
arduous task is to remedy them.
The Chickasaw poor house is not
the only one needing attention.
Sometimes the keeper has to be
reformed and christianized. first.
Some beautifully executed
music was rendered by Mesdames
Davenport and. Hair, Jr., the
latter visiting her husbands
family.
A motion was made and car
ried that birthday" offerings
be made to add to the sinking
fund"
After a rising vote of thanks
to our affable hostess for the
pleasant afternoon and luscious
repast, a motion to adjourn was in
order, which we did, and went
home to meet again as announced
later on.

SAFE FARMING,
To Farmers and Business Men:


Safe Farming, and in November
on insurance against loss by pro-
ducing the living on the farm.
This month | want to talk to you
about thrift, and how safe farm
ing will make us a thrifty and
prosperous people.
In report written in 1906,
DR.. Seaman A. Knapp gave out
for the Department the follow
ing items of farm economy to be
kept constantly before the far
merS:
First, Produce upon the farm
all the food necessary for the
sustenance of the men and ami
mails employed upon the farm.
Second, Pay all current eXpen-
ses of the farm out of sundry
products other than the cash
crop.
Third, Never mortgage the
cash crop. Let it result in bank
able money at the end of the
season.
Fourth, Keep as many domes-
tic animals as will utilize the
waste of the farm and protitably
consume the surplus fodder and
grain.
This lis the program we call
safe farming, but | want to call
special attention to the second
and third items.
Thrifty farmers pay current
expenses for clothing, food
which can not be raised, and
other incidentals from sundry
products of the farm other than
the cash or money crop. Eggs,
chickens, milk, butter, cream,
'fru1t, d hog or young steer, all
these bring in some income.
The good thrifty farmer makes
such items carry practically all
current expenses and saves the
money crop to pay big debts,
make improvements, to add to
his equipment or stock, or for a
savings account for rainy day.
This is the only way tenant far
mers can become land owners.
How can this be done? How
can we avoid mortgaging this
great money crop? How can we
pay the running expenses from
the sundry products of the farm
and keep our great money crop
for cash? The answer is-by
following safe farming. The
prophet said, "Despise not the
day of small things" Attention
to these little items of income
and saving is thrift, and thrift
gets US out of debt, independ-
ent and prosperous.
Don't forget the safe farming
program
l. A home garden for every
family on the farm. Not less
than a tenth of an acre for a !
garden and half an acre for po-
tatoes. An acre of sorghum or
cane for the syrup of the family; |
the eXcessscane can be fed.
2. Produce corn enough to
feed the people and the livestock
on the farm for year, with a
little excess for safety.
8. Produce oats and other
small grain to supplement the
corn as food and to conserve the
soil in winter.
A. Produce hay and other for
age crops sufficient to feed the
livestock on the farm for one
year, not forgetting the legumes
which produce hay and enrich
the soil
5. Produce the meat for the
family by increased attention to
poultry and hogs. Plan to gen.
orally increase and breed up the
cattle and other livestock so as
to consume the otherwise waste
products and make the waste
lands productive. Not less than
25 hens for a renter and 80 for a
