SEMINOLE
Mr. Lewis Keith and Miss Lau
ra Whittle of Alabama were mar
ried last week by G. A. Ragland,
If it keeps raining our people
will soon be behind with their
farming business.
Peaches are not killed yet but
we may have some cold weather
yet even in April that will kill
them. But I hope fruit will hit
this year, as we need fruit every
year for home consumption. Peo
ple are preparing for another cot
ton crop. It’s about guano haul in
time and that will take up a good
deal of time hauling and put
ting it in the ground, etc. But
the biggest thing will come next
fall when you have to take your
best cotton to pay for the guano.
So let us clean out the stables,
cow lots and stalls and rake up
the barn lot and haail every thing
that will do any good to the field
and buy as little guano as possi
ble, thereby cutting expenses.
Now let us cut the cotton crop
half and make as much on half a
crop as we have been making on
a full acreage. Reduce the acre-
age half for cotton and increase
the acreage for corn and feed
stuff and save expenses, and
save buying corn and hay.
There will be a good deal of
land to lay out this year on ac
count of the scarcity of hands. A
good many have left here and
quit the farming business and
gone to cotton mills and public
works. Then again labor is too
high for farmers to pay to make
9 and 10 cent cotton. Then that
is not all, if we use guano that
knocks our cotton down or ratliei
the money, for it sure has to be
paid for, whether we have any
money left of the cotton crop or
not. We have everything to buy
if we only make cotton and it
must be paid for or get it on a
credit and never pay for it. So
let us stay out of debt, and make
our farms self sustaining, and
make as few debts as possible.
I find by actual experience, that
to buy on a credit, means de
struction to farmers, but pay as
you go certainly means the up
building of the farmer. I have
tried credit for several years and
never cleared a cent as long as
I kept it up. I then turned a
new leaf to pay cash for what
I bought or do without and I
have done better. Now I write
this that some may be benefited
thereby if they will.

CHATTANOOGA SOUTHERN
Rumored That Road Will Be
Turned Into Trolly Line
Chattanooga, T eun., —Rumors
have been circulated on the
streets that the Chattanooga
Southern railway is to be elec
trified; that is, tc be provided
with electric locomotives, or turn
ed into a trolly line. One rumor
was that it was to be provided
with electric engines of the kind
used on a portion of the lines, of
New York Central and other
roads in the east; the other was
to the effect that it was to be
made a trolly line, this to be fol
lowed by the building of branch
lines through districts along its
course from here i« Gadsden. One
of the branches contemplated
and live first to be built, is one
to Lafayette.
According to all information
possible to gel, it appears prob
able that the road will become
an interurban line with electric
motive power, if the plans of
some of those interested in it are
realized. The road is at present
in the hands of a receiver and is
to be sold at an early date, per
liaps within the next two or
three months.
