General Robert E. Lee
Each year that passes, fail J to
lessen the love of the South and
the -'Mpreciation of the entire
wort., for Robert E. Lee. whose
ch«; icter as a man and genius
as a soldier will ever emblazon
the piges of history. In these
times of mortal strife between
the 'ions of Europe, all men
think i 1" the matchless loader-,
ship of t!i ■ South's greatest Hon.
Today, o*>* 1 hundred and ten
years ago, h • was born jn Vir
ginia that lain! which has been
the mother of s* many of the
country's bravest men. Death
claimed his b')dy,on October 12th
1870, but his spirit still lives in
the hearts of the people whom
he loved, for nowhere else in all
the world, can there be found
truer patriotism than in the
Southland.
With men like Lee to lead, anil
soldiers like those who followed
him. the battles of the times
might be changed, and the atro
cities of those calling themselves
men, stopped and stopped for
ever Every man, woman and
child in the South should on this
day. thank God for Robert E.
Lee nui th * heritage of truth
and h nor which he has left be
hind l iin forever.
Plant Bed Time
Ti farmers in Martin County
are beginning to arrange for
thi ir. tobacco. plant beds. With
mativ : his is an important part of
the on the farm, with some
otlu. it is less important. To
secu' ■ 'he best and strongest
plan's or early setting, much
care should be exercised in the
prepannion of the bed, and then
seed S"1 >ction comes next. Af
ter t' eed are planted, there is
the > .i! attendance to every
plias ' the plant life coming up
thor- Some people pay little
or i tention to the preparation
oil', oil in which the seed are
to i pped. The consequence
is tb the plants are not high
_ gra- . , -uui fail to produce the
bey' of the yellow weed.
Th*vnine for careless and shift
less i-inning has passed away,
and !;>. K-cessful man of today,
whether hj has ten or one hun
dred an s, exercises every care
in th« j pr paration for and in the
cultivation of the crops which
shall bring to him excellent re
turi... for labor and money expend
ed. So ;he plant beds for every
crop must be planned and thor
oughly p.vpared ere the seed is
depo ited therein. The time is
approaching for this preparation
and the diligent farmer ifion his
job. Aro you a diligent farmer? 1
If no! why not.
