Farmers are alj* right.
That the farmers of this country
• are in a much better condition
• than they have been for several
» years, but few deny. They hav^
been forced to live economically
for two or three years past, and
1 in that time have raised more
home products, so that their ex
penditures might be Jess, and have
not depended wholly upon the
cotton crop. This has proven a
blessing to them, and their con
dition now justifies the assertion.
-The season of depression through
Which they have passed has taught
them that it is unnecessary for
them to buy their supplies—they
can be raised at home. Their
corn, meat and supplies can be
raised cheaper than they can be
purchased.
While the cotton crop has not
been neglected;— : this year’s crop
being, perhaps, the largest grown
in several years—more attention
is given to the raising of tome
supplies, and when the present
year comes to a close the farmers
will be better off than ever before.
Mr. R. H. Edmunds, editor of
the Manufacturers’ Record, who
has done much for the South, and
who is one of the mbst intelligent
observers of business conditions
says in a recent interview that “a
careful investigation will show
that at prices now ruling the ad
vance in farm products and live
stock means that-the s farmers of
this country will receive at least
$500,000,000 more for their 1897
crops than they received for those
of 1896. As the cost of raising
was, because of enforced econo
mies, probably less this year than
in 1$96, this enormous gain in
values ''practically means an in
crease'in net profits to the farmers

The use of thenurgeon’s knife is be

Mr. William Walpole, of Walsbtown,

A big revival meeting closed
last Sunday. Rev. W. L. Colley

had a great influence for. good.
Thirty-two persons professed con

and the farmers are rejoicing over
the prospects of a full crop.

GROWING GAINESVILLE.
The activity in. the local real
estate market and the prices at
which property is selling is a good
indication of the true condition
of things. The number of new
buildings going up, the many im
provements being made, and the
increase in number of enterprises,
show that monied men have con
fidence in the future, and have
faith in the Queen City of the
Mountains.
The citizens of Gainesville speak
encouragingly of the city’s future
growth, and it is evident that they
are determined to do all in their
power to promote its interests.
Foreign capital is coming in, and
greater inducements are being
offered those who have money to
invest.
Within the past week several,
important real estate deals have
been made, and contracts for some
nice buildings have been let.. A
large stock company has. been
formed and will begin business in
Several manufac-
There is always a market for canned
.goods, and as the fruit and vegetables
grown here are a superior article, the
'demand for Gainesville truck would be
good. A cannery in Gainesville would
give employment to a number of peo
ple, and a great deal of money would
be put in circulation by such an enter
prise. It would be valuable to the
town and surrounding section. Can
neries have been successfully operated
in other places, and there is reason to
believe that one in the city of Gaines
ville would pay handsomely.

THE STATE TAX RATE.
The State tax rate for 1897 has
been fixed at 5.21 mills on the
dollar, or $5.21 on the thousand
dollars of taxable property. This
will give an aggregate revenue of
$2,573,000, to be divided as follows:
■ For schools, $600,000. *
For pensions, approximately,
.$460,000 ^ ^
For sinking fund, $100,000.
For all other purposes, $1,423,-

school fund to $1,000,000, but

of taxes to that amount, so that
