THE RAIL FENCES AND
LOG HOUSES AND BARNS

lzON nv ShgA~hS
The Ingram correspondent Of the
Pocahontas Star Herald writes that
paper TO the effect that most all the
Old rail fences and dilapidated log
buildings in that section Of Randolph
county have been burned out this
spring. That correspondent evidently
regrets the passing of these relics of
We olden times, if we are to judge from
the following comment he makes upon
that fact:
The old rail fence and the old
log house and barn are relics of
the old pioneer days when our
poor old farmers could have moth
ing but a crib full of corn, smoke
house full of meat, the range full
of cattle and hogs, and perhaps
a shot sack full of sponduliX tuck
ed snugly away in the old wooden
chest"
Why, bless your life, man, the time
has never been in the history of the
world when the old rail fence and
the old log house and barn made the
farmer an ear of corn, a pound Of
meat, COW, a calf or a hog, or a red
cent of spOndulix. The trouble with
the country today, if there is really
any trouble with the country at all,
certainly cannot he a lack of rail
fences and log houses and barns. That
is not the trouble. If the farmer in
former years could have plenty of corn
and meat, cattle, hogs and money,
which, by the way, they all didn't
have, as we all very well know, while
living in log house and with his fields
fenced with rails, he could have the
same things and live in better house
and have his fields fenced with wire,
unless there is greater virtue in rail
fences and log houses than we think.
Every now and then you find a fel-
low who pretends to yearn for a re-
turn TO the methods used by our faith
crs and grandfathers and to their
modes Of living, but he doesn't wish it
really. Those were good old days no
doubt, but they are gone never to re-
turn, and, right down at the bottom,
everybody is glad of that fact. The
world moves, or better still, the world
progresses, and folks either take step
with the march Of progress or become
confirmed pessimists, a living misery
to themselves and those about them,
and finally pass away from the dry
rot.
People are not yoking up the old
team of oxen and jogging along five
miles to the meeting house any more.
The preachers are not lining out the
hymns and preaching three hours and
a quarter by the clock any more. The
lady who keeps the house is not mind
ing the flies from the dinner table with
peach tree limb any more. Most
people in these later days take a bath
every Saturday night, whether they
need il or not. There are many, many
changes from the old way Of doing
things that must commend themselves
to the citizen who desires some com
fort and happiness while he is on his
brief sojourn in the world, even if his
father and grandfather lived too soon
10 know anything about them. Sure,
the more modern way Of living and of
doing things costs more than the
pioneer methods, but you get your
moneys worth every time you add to
the comfort or happiness Of yourself
or your family. There is a screw loose
somewhere with the man who has
money and who will not invest cent
OF II IN happiness.-Hardy Herald.

Here are some things found by the
county agent on the farm of Mr.. Lytle
Martin near Old Reyno; Cotton, corn,
clover, oats, hogs, cattle, horses, bees,
poultry, a good bull, good boar, and
a meat hog which will be slaughtered
soon and a part of it picked to furnish
some meat for the home other than
fat, greasy meat for these hot days.
Check up and see if you have that
great a variety of living plants and
animals from which source to draw
,your living. The farmers who DON'T
depend upon one crop or one group of
animals to furnish their sustenance
are much more likely to succeed as
farmers than the farmer who grows
one crop and depends upon that crop
for his living.
