Meat is too high— not healthy to
cat much you know.
All the farmers are rejoicing in
the hope of a beautiful harvest this
fall. May it be an abundant harv
est and liberal prices is my hope.
The sweet potato crop is almost
a failure; what few are planted
look poor, and this is one among
the best crops raised on the farm.

pawed through here this morning

his stock of horses. There is noth

Political temperature is running
high in this county ; some talk of
an independent ticket later 011.
contentment is a bankable
resource of untold worth, but so
few have it.
Another nice rain visited vs
this week, and it came in
good time, for crops had began
to fail, corn especially. I always
like to see corn look well, for what
looks nicer than a big field of
corn.
Tobacco curing Is well under
way, aud I have never seen better
cures. Tobacco is going to be the
leading money crop for the next
few years. But would it not be
wise not to let fancy prices lead the
fanners astray, and cause then to
loose sight of the home supplies.
This year's prices of meat and corn
ought to be a schooling to those
that had to buy.
I find a good many of our
successful farmer; are going to sow
freest this fall, mainly for food, as
spring oats are a failure in this
country. One year with another,
wheat ia the surest crop, and ta
flitted better a* I kpow by
JfOC*. having tried it for several
years myself. Just give it a trial
, on some good spot on your fann
and you will be satisfied with the
results. Don't give tobacco the
right of way to all the best land,
and give the 1 ther crops an equal
show, and if you do not have so
much to sell, you will not have so
' much to buy. W. G. H.

What • pity that "women folk*"

Suppose they understood the tariff
question. What would they say

down to bargain counter prices?
And the Trusts! Suppose the
faiier and weaker ktMW that
th?y pvukl buy their railroad iron

than they can in the United States!
