NVHY I AM A TOOK MAN.
“Wool Hat,” in Planter’s Advo¬
cate, tells the following plain story
why he is poor: “I am poor be¬
cause I buy more than I sell. In
the first place. I buy a part of my
meat from the Northwest; my fish
comes from Portland, for the taking
of which the Mainlander receives a
bounty from the government. My
onion sets and all my garden seeds
come from Michigan. I sold the
wool from eighteen sheep at 371
cents a pound to an agent of the
manufacturing company at Read
j Pa.; f our months thereafter
bou S ht a hat from ,, the ga ™ e C ° m "
pany, paying at the rate of six dol¬
lars a pound for the wool. The
hide of a buck I sold at 5 cents a
pound. It went to Elmira, N. Y.,
was tanned, sent back, and I bought
it at 35 cents a pound, and it
ed more than it did when I sold it.
My ax handles come from
necticut, my matches from Dela¬
ware, my pen, ink and paper from
New York. Am I the only
in Georgia?”
A NEW CllA ZE.
“Society ladies in the northern
cities are going in for the new hat
called Winnie Davis. It may be the
name, or it may be the peculiar
curve in the long front brim, which,
shading the brow, makes it becom¬
ing to all faces. The hat was de¬
signed by a southern man, Mr. W.
S. Withara, who has gone into bus
incs at 635 Broadway N. Y. Oh,
the vanity of women of fashion !”—
Ex.
If tire “Winnie Davis” hat is the
“most becoming style” out this
spring for ladies and misses, it is not
the “vanity,” but the good
mon sense of the lady buyers, that
gives the shape such wide-spread
popularity. We are at least glad
to see that the name the hat bears
has not proven a barrier in the way
of its sale up north- Miss Winnie
Davis, after whom the hat is named,
is the daughter of Jefferson Davis.
GOOD methods.
Some farmers are successful,
others are not. Some live well,
have the comforts and luxuries
life around them ; others live hard,
work hard, have few of the com¬
forts and none of the luxuries.
Some have a better start, perhaps,
than others ; better farm and
equipped; but it will be found
the men who succeed, who live well
and make money are men of
od, men who.believe in and have a
system of management, men who
think on what they are doing,
and do nothing at haphazard.
speculator, dealer in futures
stock jobbers may take chances,
but there is no chance work
the farmer. Nature
laws which are imperative, as to
what may be produced in
claims and on certain lands,
the law of supply and demand
ulate the prices, and consequently
the profit on what is produced.
The thoughtful and successful
farmer, while recognizing nature’s
laws, will also give heed to the law
of supply and demand that he may
not waste his time in cultivating
what already is a drag upon the
market, and will consequently
cause loss to him- If experience
proves that there is more money
an acre of grass than there is in
acre of cotton, the wise farmer
give some attention to grass
less to cotton; if one acre
will yield twice, three or
times as much as an acre
the wise farmer will give
attention to potatoes and less
tobacco; if one good cow is more
than two poor ones:
farmer can save money and feel
by raising his own
supplies and feed his stock
the wise farmer will raise
instead of buying, when it
sometimes be hard to get the
money to buy with, from what
got to seli. The man of meth
od thinks of all this, lives well.
makes and saves money ; the man
without method does not, works
hard, lives hard and is always run
to the throat-latch to make ends
meet—and they dont always do it.
