NEW TON FARMERS ANXIOUS.
F ear Rains Have Injured Crop
In This County.
As a result of the continuous
riiinfall of the last ten days, the
farmers of this section are feeling
little anxiety owr the crop pros-
1 P PCts especially cotton, which is
-
taking on an abnormal growth and
! bedding rapidly its newly formed
f rild
De-pite these discouraging re
ports, however, the merchants and
farmers generally believe that it
the hea T y rains cease within the
next f ew davs and with only as- I
°nable showers through the re
ma inder of the month, an average
coil on crop will be made in t hi
county.
Patronize Your Industries.
The following from the Binning
hum News, which is published
one of the most prosperous cities
in the South, is applicable to Cov¬
ington and directlv in line with
the policy ot ihe Enterprise:
Patronize home industry. There
never was a ni"i’e practical motto
than this. The man who lives i
community and depends upon that
community for his income and
sends purchases to a foreign mar¬
ket because it may be cheaper, is
more selfish than wise Tho money
he sends away never comes back
He has in part robbed himself, j
He has set a pernicious > xn mpF j
which if generally followed
result in bankrupting the town up*
on which he relies t'01 a living. ‘To K
v
neglect , the , home people , .
is not «:«rs
lv , ingratitude, .... short-sighted . . ,
it is a
which . entails , penalty
po.icv a on
the . offender, , If man has no pa
a
, triutism, . . appreciation • . of f favors ,■
no
no civic pride, he should have in
telligence enough to know that it
is a good business policy to patio
mze the hotnefolks. Everybody
shares more or less in the prospet
i ity of the community. If thei
1 merchants, the factory owners,
and others who have commodities
to sell are prosperous every citizen
. g partlally beiie tited. A little
candle of prosperity throws its
beam a long way.
Patronize home industry; help j
your heighbor and he will help
you.
