Young men from the country
too often desert their farms and
s eek employment in cities. These
young men grow tired of farm life,
thinking it dull, prosy and unprof
itable, when in reality, no vocation,
in life has more advantages or su-
periot attractions. As far back as
the days of ancient Rome farming
has been regarded as the m'ost im
portant as well as among the most
honorvble callings of life. .The
vocation is even mire important,
and none the less honorable at the
present day. The tillers of the
soil must furnish bread, meat and
clothing for the balance of man
kind, who look to them for the ne
cessities as well as the luxuries of
life.
“Anybody can farm,” is a mis
taken idea we frequently bear ex
pressed. This is untrue. A suc-
,'cessful farmer must be a man of
learning. To .be successful he
taust be a man of learning. To be
successful he must acquaint him
self with the best ‘methods of cul
ture; the most superior labor-sav
ing implements; the crop to which
every acre of his land is best
adopted; the qualities lacking in
Ms soil and how and when to sup
ply them by artificial substances;
the time to sow and the time to
reap; the management of his pe
culiar kind of labor; and the best
methods of true economy aud
many other things 'absolutely es
sential to make the calling snc-
cessfnl. It requires close study
and long experience to dp all
this.
In this age of progress no indus
try shows more rapid strides to
ward perfection than that of farm-
j?n§, and newer and better methods
are being developed every day.
A laudable ambition characteri
zes the acts af those engaged in
the calling, and everywhere can be
seen evidences of thrift and in-
increased prosperity. All honor
to the noble men who till the
soil!
Here is a bright picture of farm
life taken from the Tliomasville
Enterprise: Farming is really
the most independent business in
the world. It lies charms and fas
cinations which belong to no oth-
calling. There is a freedom and
liberty in the mode of life that
produces health and vigor. It
brings the fruition of wealth
whether accompanied by the gloss
hnd Show of riches or not, The
fresh, pure country air invites
sweet sleep and pleasant dreams,
and the soft sighs of woodland
forest, and ihe bright gleam of
June fields delight .the eye cheer
the heart with the strong proiiiise
of a full harvest.
The browsing herd that seek
the noonday shade] the nimble
lambs that scamper o’er the broad
and spacious pastures, the happy
songs of the birds that make the
woodland ring; all dispel the
thought of care. The crackling
blaze that lights up the Humble
hearth fiiid paints its trembling
pictures on the cottage walls gives
cheer and comfort. The early
brow of the blianticieer tells tis of
coming day calls forth the laborer
lo his task; and. melting darkness
it creeps away from coming light,
leaves all nature aglow with sun
lit radirnce. Autumn’s gulden
grain as it sweeps to and fro m
the morning .breeze, promises
peace and plenty, and stately
trees with their frost tinted foliage
refresh the eye with tlieir varied
hues. Here Sweet content abides
and all nature proclaims the mas
ter of the field add forest a verita
ble lord.
It is going to be desperate work,
and it wtll require every man at
his post, and every throb of Ms
heart at the service of his party
possille. Let us agree on two
things as a starter:
First—It doesn’t matter what
beat us in 1888. What we want
to know—and what we must leam
through patieit and earnest and
sympathetic searching—is, what
will enable us to win in 1892!
Second—Every word of criti
cism that democratic pens write
or democratic lips, should be di
rected against the enemy and not
against our comrades. Every man
who is covered with the sweat of
democratic battle, should be dear
to every democrat. He is a poor
soldier and a sorry fellow who
would seek to rise on his party’s
disaster or profit by criticism of
his comrades.
The democratic campaign was
pitched with courage, fought with
gallantry, maintained in dignity,
closed without stain—and the de
defeat -with which it ended should
should only draw us closer togeth
er. There is more glory in a de
feat that was bravely opposed and
honorably met than in a victory
based in wrong and wrought in
dishonor.
That democrat is recreant who
turns his face ho the past that lie
may find fault with his comrades
or petty j ustification for himself.
That democrat who turns his face
to the future, determined to march
to democratic music, whatever it-
may be- until the next campaign
is fought and won, that is the
right sort of a democrat. And
that is our position, or from this
this stand we shall not be dis
lodged or shaken. The campaign
of 1892 is already opened. On its
successful issue everything essen
tial to us depends. Let every
democrat put aside prejudice]
pride, or whatever hindrance may
possess himj and fall into line!
The heaviest man in the next
congress probably is Hon. Paul
Edmunds, (democratI, from the
fifth Yirginia district] and the vol
ume of his laugh is said to be
something enormous. He won’t
laugh much, however, about the
time the republicans try to admit
several territories to make votes,
unless his opinions] proving as
weighty as his body, should defeat
that scheme.
organized fight upon the adverse
circumstances which surround the
avocation and oat of overhanging
adversity to bring a flood tide of
prosperity. The object is not only
justifiable but praiseworthy and
meritorious,
And it occurs to us, that the most
vulnerable point of attack, against
this general adversity of the farm
ers, lies in this item of reformation
of system within themselves; that
success as an organization wrought
by a complete change of a constant
ly failing system wohld give more
honor and credit than the crushing
of a dozen mercantile combines;
would be a victory permanant and
substatial, unassailed by any rally
ing foe and competent of ever in
creasing measure. .. -
If the good old custom of closing
the crib doors and flinging the corn
in at the gable until the ridge pole
was reached, obtained to-day, a
combine which would run corn to
$2.00 a bushel would be a blessing,
and the farmers would feel rather
like canonizing than cursing the
monopolist who “cornerd” corn. ^
If the waste lands were sown in
rye and barley and horses and
mules for our own use raised, the
anathematized mortgage, for unac
climated stock, wofild be a relic of
the past.
If worthless curs were sacrificed
to flocks of sheep to brows? upon
the fertile hills of Georgia, and af
ford homemade Wool for the spin
ning wheel and loom, the volume of
cursing against high prices of un
ion'filled goods would be eternally
hushed. „, .
