John son 8a id : “It must, not lie forgotten that the Division of the Southern Cot ton Association carries blazoned on its banner prosperity for all. We would construct and not tear down every business. We seek to upbuild. We are trying to up build yours. It is a truism that all admit that, a truly prosperous agricultural class means a coun try's prosperity. We seek that 1 and that only. Our battle cry this j year shall be education along ev*j ery line for the adult farmer, on whom we are all immediately de pendent and him loyal to his call- j ing- • “We shall insist that he con-1 duct his farming on strictly busi- j ness principles, as does the true: banker, the merchant, the insur-! ai.ee man, the fertilizer company, j “That he shall cut out unremu-j nerative acres, as the banker J would unsafe paper, as the mer chant would an unsalable article; the fertilizer man a non-paying brand, “That he shall make no unnec essary debt. ••That he shall farm intensively! instead of extensively. “That he shall supply from bis own tarming all food and forage) crops for his family and bis stock, i “In a word, home corn cribs and home smoke houses shall be our slogan forever* “Upon the soundness of these J principles we stand and we ask and expect, as we have the right, the loyal support of every true Amer ican.” Sty? iHmttgom?ry iMnnitur. EDUCATIONAL TRAIN. Mayor Wilson has received Ihe following letter from President Soule of the State College of Ag riculture : Athens, Ga., Jan . 20, 190$. Mv Dear Sir— The special Educational Train which is to be operated in Febru ary and March by the State Col lege of Agriculture in connection with the various railroads is ex pected to reach Ml. Vernon Feb ruary' 21st, about 12 o'clock,noon. The schedule has been carefully made up and we will follow it in: closely as possible, though of course there may be some varia tion from the time indicated. All visitors should come prepared to stay a little longer, for the tram may he delayed, but they should be at the station at the time indi cated above, for if the train ar rives promptly, as it. will in most : instances, those who are late will miss a part of the bom. lit which it is hoped our visit will gonl’er. We expect to slop an hour and a half; at each place; during that t illicit-* is belie-ved that as many as thro, or four short practical talks can bo made and leave a half hour for the inspection of tjm visit ear. !>- tailed information concerning t lie make up of the train and t lie ohm - ncter of the exhibits will be sent you shortly. We trust \v< may have your co-operation and that of all the good people of your vi cinity in making the visit of tin- Educational Tram a success. No effort is being spared by us to pro vide a feast of good things and we) ask your co-operation in placing before vmir people information as to when the train will arrive. Assuring you that our only de sire in this matter is to benefit the farmers, whom it is our duty and : pleasure to serve, 1 am, Very respectfully, Aniuikw M. Socr.i:, Pres. j FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.

By the time school open- you have a meeting arranged with a half dozen fellers for Uartleft field al the close of the session. And then comes your old teacher. “Hcv, Miss Denny* ain I promot ed?” you scream with a score of others.
