FROSVi JNJRff RIENDS IN THE COUNTRY
To my friends in Polk county.

To those oi you wno may not
j.now .where i am, to let you
know is a partial reason why I am
writing. but the main reason is,
to tell you from impressions of
;Vhat 1 nave seen anu iiearu,"
what is going on in the old north
state. Tn 'ears aS it was gen
erally believed and accepted as
la fact that farmers in Piedmont
land eastern Carolina could not'

Session of the farmers con
tention has once for all disabused
'the farmers mind, if he kept his
lear opened and his understanding
'alert. For one time the subject
'permanant pastures in N. C. ,
'and their importance and ease,
with which they can be had was
handled just to my' notion. If
every editor in North Carolina,
'religious, political and what not,
would preach pastures perm
'anant summer and winter pas

at it as you please, ; if you have
not the capital and labor then go
at it as you can, but by all means
get at it and stay at it until the
thing, is done. What we -want all
over the south is men who will
do the thing they think can't be
done. Do you know a thing
that can't be done is done? Weil l
here is the way it is done, some
fellow who don't know it can't
be done undertakes it, and the

Bone he just keeps right on till
he does it. There is a pasture

Polk lag in this battle for agri
