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.
