fit that has come to the communities

LET'S CLEAN UP AND PAINT UT


It will soon be time to "clean up
and paint up. And, while we are
about it, let's clean up, paint up, and
stay up. To spend a few hours and a
few dollars on your yard and property
this spring and then forget all about
it for the next five years to come is
the poorest kind Of economy, 1t is
even a first-class extravaganza, for
the moment a piece of property be-
comes rusty" deterioration rapidly
sets in and rushes right on to de-
struction. Afew dollars and a little
labor in periodical improvements is
the best interest you can get on your
investment. And what is good for
you is equally good. for the town, the
county, and the state. ~ Brownsville

What the Boil weevil Did for Us

About dozen years ago,
The weevil came from Mexico,
And when he'd crossed the Rio Grande
A wave of terror spread the land,
For cotton, then, was lord and king
Our meat and bread and everything.
And so, we started in to fight
The pesky bug, with all our might;
We set price upon his head,
And sprinkled poison where he fed.
But still, we fought losing fight,
We could not check his appetite.
Our strength began to fail at last;
1t seemed that help and hope were
past.
Wherever you might turn your eye,
Gaunt poverty was stalking by.
Then some wise farmer up and said,
Lets try to raise some meat and
bread"
And thensthe dawn began to break,
King Cotton's hold began to shake;
We planted corn, we planted wheat,
And grew more hogs to make our
meat.
And what is more, I'll say to you,
We found that we could sell them, too,
We grew dozen calves or more,
Where only one had grown before,
And where no sheep at all had been,
A dozen grazed upon the green,
And every mothers son of them
Was pedigreed from stern to stem.
Our silos dotted hill and plain;
Our bins, they overfowed with grain;
Our barns were filled with corn and
hay;
Our bank accounts had come to stay,
And all because the weevil broke
From off our necks King Cotton's yoke.
And still the pesky bug is here,
But now we view him not with fear;
We've learned to raise some cotton,
too,
In spite of all that he can do.
And | must say, the ugly cuss
Has been no little help to us.

Ex-COVINGTONIAN.

The last issue of the Covington
Leader carried a statement of the
financial report Of the Covington Sup
ply Company, Upton county's largest
mercantile establishment, known to
every man, woman and child in that
county. The statement was made by
the treasurer that the company had
sold a grand total of $180,O00 worth
of dry goods, clothing, shoes, ETC., dur
ing the year 1916. This firm is the
largest advertiser in West Tennessee.
1t carries from half page to full
page in each issue of both the Coving-
ton newspapers. If a firm doing a
$180,000 yearly business needs to adj
vertise, what about those not so well
known? If it pays this well-known,
popular firm to advertise, what about
the merchants of all the other towns :?
Dresden Enterprise.
