But we still see three square meals and a bed and some clothes for those who have worked hard and put some intelligence into their labor The most of us are several jumps ahead of the sheriff; and there is no prospects of q crowded poor house. Iii fact, some of our farmers, es- pecially the COW men, are still wearing smiles as well as good clothes and expect to continue to do so. The disappointment is only in the fact that we all expect to 'mop up this year, and may have to put it off year longer -Demopolis Times.
