Friends and Fellow- Countrymen: Since early boyhood we have heard it ^declared that a heavy snow fall is almost certainly fol lowed by good crops. Certainly it is to be hoped that the saying will prove true this year.. . While our farmers fared well last year, and are now in good fix for the duties of their avocation, there is positive need for good crops. It is already evident that expenses will be increased in many particulars in addition to the im provements that have been made on the farms, and in the imple ments and accessories. So far the preparation has been thorough to the extent of the work done. But some unfavorable cir cumstances have prevented^ work, and not a few farmers have not progressed as^favorably with their work as is desirable. It may be that the great increase in the number of negro renters will render hired labor scarce, and consequently more expensive than heretofore. More guano has been purchased, and the indications are that the cotton crop will be larger. Even if the acreage devoted to food crops is not decreased, there will be extra need for good yields of all such products. Increased expenses cannot be satisfactorily met, unless the crop, yields are good, henGe the earnest hope that the la*e snow will exercise a be neficent influence and cause the land to yield most bounteously. The bright sun in yonder heavens shines equally upon the just and the unjust, but in all his majestic course he has never shone upon a better Farm Wagon than the ....Celebrated.... Owensboro. We have just received a solid car load of these wagons, whose equal cannot be found. Also, we have on hand a pretty line of BUGGIES. Especially would we call your attention to our beauti ful “Stick Seat” Buggies. We are sure we can suit you in price. Fred. M. Houser’s. Artificial Digestion. Is that all yon want?
