I What we accomplished or failed to do must either be numbered as dead things » or facts that can go down on the new year’s fresh letter page as something worth while and worth remembering. This time last year la-cent cotton had \ s exhilarated the farming classes and thou y. sands went in debt for high-priced mules, high-priced guano and high-priced eat ubles and expensive clothes. When a bale of cotton could cash in at $75, what was the use of going slow? Why not live, while you were living? So the supply man said to the sanguine farmer: “Just come in and help your self." E And they helped themselves to all in sight, and because pay day was post poned to November they piled up a long Hr column of figures on the supply man's 9 ledger and they ate, drank and made K’"’* ■ merry. They pulled the old buggy out * in the lot and shoved a new buggy under the shelter, the last not paid for. f When they found the old wagon need- E? in* repairs it sas quite as easy to bring a new one home as falling off a log, and why not buy a new wagon body to go With the new wagon. He didn’t have to pay until November and the cotton crop was promising: why not work with $ good tools instead of worn out ones? F And when the big meetings were com ing on why not fix up the house with K some new furniture, and if the preachers stayed with you you felt obliged to, and then you must buy more groceries, and tI » you had lots of company to call in and eatable* disappeared very fast But the Bi crop was laid by. or to be plainer, you had quit working at it, and why not t- eat. drink and be merry? x Maybe you had some sickness and the doctors came, and may be one of the boys I took a notion to marry and suddenly X appeared with his bride All of you had to eat and cotton picking time was on. and you woke up at last to the fact that it took two bales of cotton to bring W ” what one bale brought the year before F • It cost as much to pick as formerly, and the guano was the same, the ginning - was just the same, and behold the price was just half at the selling place. > Don’t you <ee where the mistake was ’ made? I think you do. Need I say more? Now. good friends, the year 1912 i going « to be close and hard to begin with, and the gupply man will want you to give good gecurity. and credit will be much l inert difficult as a farming proposition, and while labor may be no higher it will be equivalent to cash, or more so. You must farm to live, and the world that I want to give you is economy. I lived through the war I know what it was to do without things you felt you were obitgrd to have. We wore the old clothes and we ate sorghum* and corn bread when we had ,no meat and no gnonev There is but one way to climb out of a ditch and that is to crawl up and out and It is not easy or dainty, but you a tan climb, if you are obliged to. ytHTWY MAKES FOB PLACES W \ There was a merry group cf men not far from me as I was returning on a j having a merry Christmas in ~ the Gate City.

H.nry Watterson gave out an interview last night on the subject of Theodore Rooeevelt'a candidacy for the presi dency. Inspired by the statement,of a re porter that he had been accused by the New York Herald of sharing in the alnrir. voiced by the New York World that Mr. Roosevelt is really a candi date, Mr. Watterscn declared that his position was misunderstood, he was not alarmed In the least; he had simply ex pressed the idea that he knew that Roosevelt was being groomed for the race, and ventured the opinion that even if the stampede movement in his behalf succeeds he would not carry a single state in the union. Colonel Watterson declared that Ml that stands between us and life tenure of office is the third term tradition. He regarded Roosevelt, he said, as a personal friend —he knew bis parents before him —and he would rather fol low him to the grave, if he were his dearest son. than see him return to the presidency, because he knew that ue would the presidency and Mex icanise the republic.

It seems there is a station somewhere known as Coweta, named most likely for Coweta county. This traveler said he was on the train some days ago and sat near a man ana his g-year-old boy. The conductor or his lieutenant yelled out three times, "Cow-Eater,’ i "Cow-Eater,” "Cow-eat-er" with a crescendo voice inflection each time. , The little boy with wide-open eyes, said to his paw. "What made that oow eat her? Os course we were all obliged to titter. Every one of us has been often amused to hear a train man yell out in the same way and sometimes we knew what he said and sometimes we didn’t find ourselves any wiser afterwards. A third joker theh told of a traveler who had listened very closely until a conductor called out frantically, "Ack-worth,’’ "Ack-worth,” , “Ack worth” going up the gamut at each loud call. The jolly fellow at once in quired, "You may be worth a dollar and me 50 cents, but why didn’t you tell us how much Ack was worth V I enjoyed these merry folks more than I can express to you. and it seem ed to me that such merry hearts made sunshine for all of us, who didn't speak a word. At last the apparent leader of the group laid his head back and yawned with apparent relish. Said he, "I got up at 4 o’clock yesterday morning, have had a jolly good time in Atlanta, but when I hit the bed in at midnight tonight you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be ready for it, for it is now after dark and I have not had a wink of sleep since I started at 4 o'clock yesterday morning.” “I sure have had a good time.” So much for youth, health and a merry heart! Such merry hearts make the world go around. But I’ll never forget what Kinney-saw, or the Cow that eat her or ponder over the worth of Ack whenever I hear our conductors call out for us, hereafter. MT GOOD XMAS TIKE. I was too lame to go to the stores and buy cards and 'little Xmas gifts for children, but lay on the lounge and read until old eyes were weary. bo when the dear friends away off poured in their Xmas greetings and one re membered me with a jar cf preserves and another with a fine dressed tur key, and another with a fine foot warm er. to use in a buggy and keep the lame knee warm, I said to myself. "How good they are, how sweet such friendship, how grateful I ought to be?" And I am grateful! So I spent the most of my Xmas holidays in rejoicing over the gracious kindness of those who remembered their old friend, who just couldn't no anything for anybody, except to’ send some Xmas cards, and< thank God for : His preserving mercies, and lie on the I lounge on a holiday. because 1 couldn't do love those who loved me so and after I thought over my blessings, I saw how the Lord had giv en me what is dearer to me than any thing in sight, namely, the friendship of the good and true.

Break off the lugs on the rim of the wheels, then have your blacksmith drill 3-4-inch holes, 4 inches apart. For the drum or roller staves use 2x4-incn scantlings cut to 3-foot lengths, bore 3-4-inch holes in these near each end to make the ends even with the edge of the rim of the wheel. Bolt these onto the wheel, using I washers under the heads of the bolts and the nuts against the inside of the rim of the wheel. The piece of scantling should be bev eled slightly, so as to fit cosely against the rim of the wheel. Now, we are ready for the ijrame, which should be of 4x4-inch stuff. Ciit two pieces which should be 7 1-2 feet long. Two inches from each end cut a lx3-inch mortise. In the center of each of these pieces cut a 2x4-inch notch for the tongue to rest in. Cut the end pieces long enough to clear the rollers when the frame is put together. Cut tenons on each end of these pieces to fit the mortises in front and rear pieces of the frame. Have the blacksmith make four cor ner irons with for? holes in each 3-8- inch; pin corners securely, then put cor ner irons on and tighten uj the bolts. If you can find .fcur old machine boxings that will fit toe roller shafts, bolt to under sides of frame as shown in cut; if not, make some out of hard wood. The wooden boxings—lay two pieces of 2x4-inch hard wood together, clamp them anu bore a hole about 3-32 of an inch larger than the roller shaft. STATE’S ATTORNEY ASKED TO PUT BAN ON REVELRY CHICAGO.

Let the worm of the auger run directly between them, so one-half of the hole will be in each piece. Putting rollers and frame together— place the shaft in each roller and make fast by means of a set screw in the hub of each wheel; the shafts shouiu turn in the boxings, not the wheels on the snafts Now place the frame over the rollers and adjust to proper position, that is, have the space around the rollers be tween them and the frame the same dis tance at all places. Raise the roller frame slighuy and slip in place the upper half of each box ing; let down frame on shaft, put low er half of boxings in place, then bore holes through the frame 2 1-2 Inches from the shaft, and bolt all together with 5-8-inch bolts. You see by the cut that the tongue forms the con terpiece for frame. Brace the tongue with two pieces of old wagon tire three feet long, put in proper shape with a 3-4-inch bolt, fastening it to tne tongue and frame. Attach an old mowing machine seat to the rear of tongue to balance the neck yoke when the driver is seated.
