Home Supplies.
There is a growing tendency to
the growing of homo supplies. This
is as it should be. The farmer can
hope to he indpendent of thecotton
speculator only by placing himself
in a position to hold his cotton until
he thinks prices justify his selling.
The courageous act of President
Barrett last spring has been worth
many millions of dollars to the
South. If he had not called on the
farmers to plow up a part'of the cot
ton planted, we would have had
nearly a million bales more, and
many bushels of corn, oats and tons
of hay less.
If the farmers Iwid produced a
million bales more, the speculators
would have been able to press the
price down.
TSsc farmers shouJd loaf out an
other year. An all-cotton crop
means less money to the farmer.
Plamt home supplies, have an abun
dance. You can not succeed with
out having “hog and hominy’’ of
your own raising. Be sure to raise
enough hay to feed your cattle and
horsesj
We must raise more stock in the
South. Let everyone assist in add*
ingtothe number of good cattle and
horses.—Union News.

In Memorium,
On the 23rd day of September,
I909, the Death Angel visited the
home of Mr, Will Stallings and
claimed as a victim his beloved com
panion, Ola. She leaves a husband
and three little children besides a
host of other relatives and friends to
mourn her death.
To know Ola was to love her. She
was kind and always had a smile
for those with whom she came in
contact. We will never see her
sweet smiling face on earth again,
but if we live as she did we will
meet her on the other shore where
there are no more farewells to say.
It was not our will that Ola should
go but the Lord’s will be done, not
ours. Blessed are the dead that die
in the Lord.
Ola was left a fatherless girl when
small, and no doubt she had a hard
struggle through life. She was just
in the bloom of life, but God saw fit
to take her from this sinful world to
the great beyond. How sad the
husband must have felt as he gath
ered the little ones together without
mother. But if he is faithful to the
end he will meet her to part no
more forever.
|She was married to Mr. Will Stal
lings September 24, I905, 'and died
September 23, 1909.
