A Lesson For Our Farmers.
Editor Ayres, of the Anniston' Hot
Blast, who ie always looking out for
the good of his section draws a splen
did lesson from a Calhoun county
farmer, who moved to Texas, but has
returned tb Alabama, a poorer, but
wiser man. The story ie as follows:
Three years ago Mr. T. J. Plexico,
who lived in the northern portion of
Calhoun county, decided that while
he was making and saving mpoey by
farming that there wore too many
rocks and bushes on his farm and that
he was not making as much as he
should make, and he therefore sold bis
farm, slock, produce, household goods,
etc., and moved to Grayson county,
Texas
Yesterday Mr. Plexico arrived in
Anniston with bis family a wiser but
poorer man than when be left.
He comes back to Calhoun to live
the balance of his days, and says that
the farmer who leaves this county to
go to Texas makes a great mistake.
He found the lands in Grayson
county to be splendid, and when all
the conditions are favorable large
crops are made, but the crops are very
uncertain, and frequently the crop is
almost a total failure. Land rents
from four to six dollars per acre, and
when a failure ia made in crops, it re
quires a farmer two or three years to
make up his loss
Mr. Plexico states that be and bis
family while on their farm in Calhoun
enjoyed good health, but while in
Texas they were frequently sick, and
it waa necessary for them to keep their
systems saturated with quinine and
chill tonics. His trip to Texas cost
him $1,500, and he says he is now sat
isfied to spend the remainder of his
life in Calhoun county.
When Mr. Plaxico left Calhoun he
sold his farm to Mr. George Couch,
who had practically no money, but he
states that Mr. Couch’ has cleared
enough money on the farm to meet
each of his land notes up to now before
it would mature.
. The summary of this story is as fol
lows : The farmer who left Alabama
and went to Texas has lost $1,500. The
farmer who remained at home has
cleared money every year and is rap
idly paying for a good home.

An experienced and highly respected
physician gave a valuable hint the other
day, which all may find valuable. “lam
convinced,” said he, “not only from prac
tical personal experience, bnt on the theo
retically scientific grounds also, that a
safeguard against much prevalent summer
illness lies in the tree use of lemon Juice.”
