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. CASTORIA For Infants and Children. New Garden Seed. All fresh, fr.im best growers, for sale by J.
