tlmt haiiio corn before Minnesota
and Dakota have got rid of their
snow drifts.
If one desires to farm, why not
take advantage of a climate which
not only produces a big yield lent
an early one? From the 1st of De
cember to the 1st of April the
Northern and Western farmer must
lie idle, unless it he such work as
chopping anil rail-splitting. lie
must stand by and see his stock
eating their heads oir, and of late
years he has been obliged to feed
out us much hay in April as in De
cember. There are only six months
in tho year that he i, a producer.
During the other six it is a serious
question with him as to whether he
will not consume more than lie has
produced.
In the South all this lias chanced.
The Southern farmer enn safely
rurn his live stock out to shill lor
themselves in any month of the
twelve. Ilis winter is nothing be
fore January, and is over before
the 1st of March. The fore handed
man even begins his spring plow,
ing in February. Indeed, when
• he peach blossoms are out, and
• lie wild jessamines filling Ihu land
with their odor, he has no reason
to delay. The six weeks of winter
is Imrdly time enough to repair his
.beds and fences. Crops areas
certain in the South as with ti3,
and more certain than in tiic West.
The railroads are pellet ratiu.' every
U-rtile district, and every town has
become a market where farm pro
duce biinga its easli value. I*.it
any goid Northern tanner on 100
seres of good Southern soil and
you will give him a big ail vantage
over any other farmer here with n
isi in three times the size lie will
raise morn produce, slid do it with
less work.
••What about the people?”
1 have answered that question a
dozen ditlercnt times, and in this.
| the last letter of this series, I will
answer if again. They arc neigh
hotly. They are hospitable. A
Michigan man who goes Soutli will
meet with ju.t as warm a welcome
us an Aiahauiain would going over
into Georgia. The better you get
along alter you aetlle among them
the heller they will like you. No
one will envy nor begrudge your
success. Would any man in tIn-
North luru the cold shoulder to a
not only a natural tyrant, lint ua.

country. There is as much[differ. ; m „, 0 f, own with where a

whom they art* the most indebted.
Freedom and the ballot, coming
together, upset the slave. As .*»
slave he worked and obeyed certain
rules and regulations because lie
feared the penally. Left to do bis
planning he has no head. Left to
carry out his own idea*, lie makes
lying, deceiving and trickery take
the place of work. As a farm la
borer no one can be sure whether
He v ill stay h day ora month. The
very best of them will quit work
whenever the whim seizes. Satur
day is a holiduy in which he must
go to town and spend his lust cent,
no matter how the crops are situa

In the North, the virtue of the
average colored woman is nnqu* a
lioued. In the South not one in a
thousand is credited with it. As u

more large stove works, a ear whee l

States together will control most
of the Southern fruit and vegetable
shipments. Atlanta will have at
least 15,000 more population, and

will have steadily gained. Georgia
will point toacoicaof new indutrics.
