Not Money, but Contentment.
Sow Hraju.
Forsyth Advertiser.
,2?pr twenty-five years the peo
ple of tbe south have bad money
op,the brain, and have been con
stantly in pursuit . thereof. Ex
cepting a comparatively few*, fail
ure has been the reward reaped,
j Eepecially has this been true of
the farmers, who constitute the
larger class. Herein has a great
mistake been made, and a mis
take that has proven, and is still
proving fatal to many. The wast
ing of lands, the decay of homes
.and home surroundings, and the
deprivation of home comforts,
.Visible all over the country, are j
evidences of this .mistake.
.Restricting Our remarks more j
particularly to home folks, we re
gret the glaring truth that com- :
jparatively few fai-ms in . Monroe j
county are so good as. they ; were 1
.twenty years ago. This result.
has grown out of this greed after:
inouey to the neglect of recupera- .
ting the land. The thinner lands
jhave been abandoned to sage,
briars and pines, to becdme the
home of varmints and birds, and j
&he stronger lauds have been put
finder continual pressure without
rest, to obtain from them all that
Avas possible in what our .farmers
generally, ^consider as their only
money crop. This has necessari
ly resulted in the deterioration of
the farm lands. The very drops
that tend'to the farmer’s comfort
and contentment with home sur-
Hofindings, and that feed his pros-1
parity, have, been neg ! eeted, and
over shadowed With tire fill
absorbing idea that the only mop- ;
6y possible for the farmer to han
dle must come out of a 1 cotton
bale. Beautifying the home, and
keeping up .its comforts, its sur- .
roundings;findthe.farm, has been 1
downed in the idea of getting
money to do all these things. The
result of this mode of procedure
!tis needless for ns to specify^ for
they are known and read of all
men,-and are the results that come
directly from a greed for mon- j
Jy-
Now the point we insist upon
is, that if opr farthing population
would set their hearts as to world
ly matters, upon the comforts of
home and upon those things . that
tend to make them contented and
happy in their homes, and would j
labor as earnestly and zealously 1
for the attainment of these, as
they do to get a little money,
more abundant success .would
crown their efforts, and prosperity
would grow upon them unawares;
their farms would become edenic
in appearance, their lands would
grow more fertile, sleek horses,
mules and cows would Welcome
their visits to the- lots, fat pigs
and porkers would squeal in the
pens, fat turkeys and chickens
-would play over the poultry yard,"
fat lambs would gambol on the'
diawns, and.Their bins, barns and
’larders Would give out visible ; ev
idence. of plenty, • apd farmers’
homes would become places of
happiness and contentment and-
mortgagep , that cover, : creation
would scon become things of the
past.
4 And we are glad to know that
many of our farmers in Monroe
are waking up-to this truth, and
are turning thaiip efforts into the
channel .that lepds to the accom
plishment of this end.

The impression on the iron is made
by writing backward on thin pa

wonderfully clear anddi.stinct, and
is so deeply imprinted as to defy
