gress of March 3rd, 1879.
HE DID IT, WITH HIS HEAD
Mr. Wasden bought his eighty
acres about five years ago, when,
dotted with stumps, the property
was so unsightly and, to others, so
unpromishing that neighbors said
Mr. Wasden needed a guardian
when he bid for the land at public
sale. Probably not one of the doubt
ing Thomases of that time would
lesitate to pay now for the farm
two or three times what it thgn 3old
for. However, it is not for sale. It
is the foundation of an agricultural
program that Mr. Wasden insists
will yeld him SI,OOO monthly, twelve
months in the year, as a net ncome,
within a fw years.
A visit to Mr. Wasden’s operations
is suggested because the state of
his fields will delight the eye and
consciousness of any farmer who
loves to see Mother Earth when she
is at her 100 per cent best. Here is
cultivation that promises rich reward
for\he man* who has applied his ef
forts, not perfunctorily, by habit,
but with enthusiasm and initiative.
Last year Mr. Wasden rented a
nere by forty-five acres in addition
to his eighty. Ten of this 125 acres
were put into small crops, twenty
acres solid in cotton, the remaining
nto Irish potatoes, corn and cotton.
The Irsh potatoes were planted in
f)-foot rows, with cotton between
over part of the area, and corn be
tween over the balance.
The result was that Mr. Wasden
sold, for his season’s labor, $3,500
worth of potatoes; 41 bales of cotton
worth $4,000; cottonseed to the
value of S7OO, and other cropss to
the value of SI,OOO. We will leave
it to you if that is not real farming.
At least it s the kind that pays.
We wish every Conecuh county
farmr might see the Wasden farm.
X) its present state, and talk with Mr.
"Wasden. He is working along the
same lines as last year, but with still
.greater ntensification. He has eigh
ty acres in Irish potatoes, now in a
perfect state of growth. Dig into a
hill—he’ll let you—and, since he has
■potatoes already sold at a good price
you .will conclude that aside { -om
his cotton and other crops, he has
an Easy Street income in sight from
one source alone. If the beauty of
his fields is equalled anywhere with
in a day’s drive The Courant wants
a picture of the duplicate.
Our caption says Mr. Wasden, “dii
It with his head.” That is not the
whole truth. He has, in the upbuild
ing us hs farm, done the manual
.labor of two men. Perhaps it would
be correct to say he did t with his
nerve.—The Conecuh County, Ala
bama, Courant. *
HOW TENNESSEE DOEJ I - ’’
Maury county, Tennessee, of
•which Columbia is the county ,:eat.
last week shipped four carloads of
eggs, and six carloads of poultry,
puttng nto the pockets of the farm
ers of that county something more
than $30,000. Troup county chick
ens, if given intelligent interest, will
compound that interest. Many
Georgia counties have elected the
hen their offical debt lifter.—La-
Grange Graphic.
The all cotton farmer has been af
eustomed to fall back on the old
.alibi, “there is no market for any
thing but cotton.” But the props
has been knocked out from under
this statemnt. The markets are here
and there never has been a better
tim for farmrs to make money. The
real trouble is the farmers of Georg
ia, t,aken as a whole, have very little
to sell. Production is what we need
—more milk and butter, more chick
ens and eggs, more hogs, more beef
cattle, mor hog and hominy.
The cow, the sow and the hen keep
steady cash coming n. Let’s go—

“Oh, what a silly looking thing the

A small boy strolled into an Ari
zona drug store and said: "Guhme a
nickel’s worth of assafetity.” The
proprietor wrapped it up and passed
it over.
“Charge it,” said the boy.
•“What name*?” inquired the drug
gist.
“Hunnyfunkle,” was the answer
“Take it for nothing,” retorted
the languid chemist.
“I wouldn’t write ‘asafetida’ and
'Hunnyfunkle’ both for a nickle.” —

THE FABLE OF TUT.
Three thousand years ago lived an
Egyptain Kng named Tut-Ank-Amen
It sounded like a Stutter and the
Gang at the Luxor Golf Club called
him “Tut.”
When Tut reached Cake Eat
er age and got his Hair plastered
back Right—he died. Dying was
one of the leadng Egyptian In-
Door Sports annd Tut’s death was
a Major Event. They slipped him
r.to a Swell Tomb in the Valley of
the Kngs.
Three thousand years later a
Party of Snoopers dug up Tut’s
Tomb and all the Junk buried with
him. The Advertising Men took
charge of Tut and a few weeks have
given him a Rep which makes Charlie
Chaplin’s, “Doug’s” and M. “Day-
By-Day Coue’s look like a last years
almanac in comparison.
Dead for three thousand years!
Lost! Forgotten! Then, Bang! Adv
ertised —and a whole world hollers
for more news of Tut!
■ If Advertised can thus put life in
to a Dead One—what can’t it do for
a Live One?
For a Live Business—For Your
Business?
They could have dug up a hundred
Tuts in the desert and if they had
kept the good news to them-selves—
only a few Bald Headed Historians
would have ever known it.
You can have the best merchandic „•
in the word. But if the world does
not get Hep to it—the business will
sleep along peacefully.
Remember Tut!
—Coshocton Tribune.
THE FARMER DESERVES
CONSIDERATION
When big business throttles the
farmer, big business is committing
suicide.
When the merchant exacts from
the farmer an extortionate profit he
is bulding the gallos upon which he
himself wll hang.
When through Co-operative mark
eting the farmer becomes the merch
ant of hs products, then and than
only will the farmer get what his
product s worth and the consumer
get a squar deal.
Start an appe to market nad let
each man that takes a proft out of
t cut a slice from the. apple too, how
much would be left?
It would be better that we pay the
farmer more than hs produc t is
worth—pamper him if necessary,
than to squeeze him to death with
low prices and brng destruction up
on ourselves.
Suppose every farmer in the U. S.
should declare a strike tomorrow to
last twelve months. How long would
the railroads run, how long would
the factories and stores keep going?
How long would you hold your
job and mine?—Marrietta Journal.
READ AND LEARN.
If the average young man will
make up his mind to read three
tims as much as he talks, and to dis
criminate in his reading, he will find
before long that he can also discrimi
nate in his talking. Stuffing his
mind \yith light fiction is as useless
and harmful as stuffing his body
with unwholesome food. Good books
and these are not always successful
books, are plentiful; books of travel,
essays on philosophy and m -nners.
books concerning the different arts
and books by the recognized story
tellers of the world, who do not de
base their gifts by dressing vice in
splendid language, can be obtained
in any library worth the name. With
long evenings upon him, the young
man can read but won’t is simple
cheating himself. No mind is so well
furnished that it cannot profitably
add to its store.—Greensboro Herald
Journal.
THE TEA HOUND BOY.
Blessings on thee, little hound.
With your hair all hanging down,
With your mustache n two curls,
And your polished nails like girls’,
With your spats of pearly gr v,
And your shoes that’s shined each
day,
With your trousers hanging low,
And your midget tie just so,
From my heart you make me cry,
For you are too sweet to die.
—Ralph G. Morgan.

I shot an arrow into the air, it fell

swore it killed his cats; and, rauther

him four dollars and fifty cents ($4.

THE COAL SITUATION
-y
We have talked to several coal dealers and have also been permitted to vead
a few letters from some mines to their salesmen in which they were instructed net
to take any more orders for coal until further advised, and all are unanimous in
their opinion that coal will sell for as much or more per ton this fall as it did last
fall and winter.
Coming to the point—Coal can be bought cheaper now than at any time dur
ing the year. There is enough coal to supply the demand, but the mines are cnlv
able to get from 28 to 42 per cent car supply to make shipments. Their overhead
expense cover s a period of six days weekly car supply barely sufficient for ship
ping twice weekly—which the consumer pays the bill.
Two of our most preminent citizens, having formerly use.: Indian Mountain
Jellico Coal, have recommeded it so highly to us, that we have bought (the first
t.me since we have been handling coal wt have been able to get it', two cars, about
ldnety tens, which we will sell for cash whe t delivered at SIO.OO per ton. This
coal will cost us, as near a s we can figure it, $8.42 per ton and we should get
$10.50 foi it to have a reason-role profit.
There is a high grade Hailan Coal which we cculd buy and sell this month
only for $9.00 per ton, and still a cheaper coal at $3.00. '
If you are ready to buy your coal—’Phone 70 and have us book your order for
grade and quantity wanted. REMEMBER THIS—CAS H.

CULTIVATION
CULIVATES YOU
of soul to weather too easy a life.
We often hear of a man who can master adversity,
but who becomes as putty under the consoling in
fluence of affluence.
To be forced to fight for food quickens the wit
The smartest dog is not the protected lap pet but
the dog whose wit Is whetted by duty to perform. .
Slothfulness and waste are always found where
Nature is kindest the soil richest and competition
lacking.
Cultivation is a kindly habit. It is the expression
of a mother instinct; the passion for power to create,
develop and build. It is the wish to nurture the
seeds of good, to bring them the moisture of gentle
rain, the warmth of the sun, the protection from being
crowded out by the stronger things which are not of
service to the better end.
We cultivate that the best possible may be brought
forth. And in the beautiful economy of life the
benefit is reciprocal.
It is our struggle against the elements that lifts
our civilization.
Cultivate anything and yon cultivate 1 yourself. Make
anything grow and you make yourself grow. Build '
anything and you build yourself. The man who does
the biggest work is always recorded In history as the
biggest man.
Cultivation is the process of civilization. Perfection
is the product of work,

that birthday, when that girl with

And then the birthdays came quick

the cake, but just a touch of thought
fulness and love reflected in the

their joys just as the mirror of the
