st. Joseph had this week the
pleasure Of . visit from Nias Nellie
K. Smith, whose home il at Mont
Grey, California. Miss Smiths visit
to our town was made unusually
pleasant to many Of our older citi-
zens because Of the fact that she is
the daughter and youngest child Of
the late and lamented Rev. Thos. w.
Smith, who was for SO many years
rector of Christ Church at st. Jo-
seph. She is . lady Of strong per-
sonality, bright mind, highly Guilt
waited and possesses most charming
manners. Her features and voice
bear striking resemblance to her
father, who, she minated, it was
never her pleasure to know. During
her stay here Miss Smith met . num-
Der Of our people who had known
her father wen and who had received
ministerial service from his hands.
In company with friends she visited
the present telephone exchange,
which had been her fathers home
during the many years Of his pastor
ate here, and gazed fondly upon the
walls which had known him 20 long.
From some Of his close friends she
secured q photograph Of her father
and other souvenirs that brought the
dead close to the livingl On the
whole Miss Smiths visit was very
pleasant and brought to happy end
. search that she has been making
for years to locate the town in which
her father had lived and the people
among whom he had spent % many
happy years Of his life. She b en-
gagged In business ct Monterey,
where she conducts . tee room and
gift shop, and IL now visiting New
Orleans for the purposes Of buying
antiques suitable for her line. We
hope to have . visit from her again.
Any Of our people who may have

Southern Farmer Has Cash
In Hand Year Round Now
Railway ReportReveaIs Eman-
cipation From One Crop
System

The annual report of the Southern
Railway system for the year 1921.
submitted by President Fairfax Har-
rison, included a resume Of southern
farming operations this year, tending
to show that the southern farmer has
finally and really emancipated him
self from the one-crop system and
now has cash in hand the year round.
In the matter of fruits and vegeta-
BILE shipments from January to Au-
gust 10, this. year. the report says.
There were shipped in this period
from the states North and South Car
DINA, Georgia, Florida. Alabama.
Mississippi, Louisiana and $'ennesseo
t07.29S car loads or cabbage, esnte4
ioupes, lettuce, onions, strawberries,
sweet potatoes. tomatoes, watermel-
ons. Irish potatoes. peaches and
mixed vegetables, compared with 80,
$40 car loads for the same period of
last year, an increase of 2S699 car
loads, or $3.50 per cent. The showing
Is the more remarkable because the
production Of watermelons and
peaches showed a substantial de-
crease on account of weather eondi-
tons"
TwentF-six new creameries were
established in the territory served by
the Southern system and the butter
industry WAS greatly increased.
Cotton Will Production
Similar good report is made of cot
ton mill production this year. In
July, 1922, says the report, 9s.97 per
cent of the spindles in the mills of
the cotton producing states were ac
tive. while in other states the per
eentase was 1853.
During the - months ending July
81, 1922, there was a net increase of
245,S31 spindles in the southern
ton of 1887 spiudles in other states.
Southern cotton mills consumed
3,733,000 bales of cotton in the year.
compared with 2,l7S,ooo bales con-
sumed in mills of other states
Farmer Pays Debts
The report says:
Business in the south is again on
the up grade.
The output, of the mills and fac
tories has been steadily increasing
during the past few months
A large part of the Indebtedness
which the farmers were compelled to
tASNA ia ASAV anu Hdb bttIl us -
charged"
Larger EARNINGS
The report shows greatly improved
earning data in the first half of the
year In that period operating In
come, after payment of expenses
taxes, hire of equipment and joint
facility rents, amounted to ss,S77,00O,
compared with s2.143,000 of operating
income in the first six months OF
1921
The report says the years results
should be satisfactory, despite the
handicaps of lower freight rates and
disorganization of labor
New Equipment
The Southern is spending more
than $11,000.000 on physical improve
ments this year, commencing in May
These include 6.445 box cars, 100 pas
senger cars and $50 coal ~cars.
AS recently mentioned in The Age
Herald, the Southern has ordered
10000 tons Of principally 1901 pound
steel rails OF the Tennessee company,
with which 1t will complete the in
stallation of that class of rail on thu
road between Washington and At
