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. G. A. RAGLAND. DIRTTOWN Several from here attended the singing a Silver Hill Sunday Hon. S. E.

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. FARMERSVILLE Col. W. 11.
