It seems that our school building
is going to be a failure. It seem that
w 6 have got a few men in our com
munity that is like the dog and the
munity that, are like the dog and the
ox. The dog could not eat the hay
and would not let the ox eat it. What
a paty that a community claiming
to be civelized and cannot come
together and' build a school house
for the children to go to school. If
I did not have any public spirit, in me
land no interest in schooling of the
poor children of the community I
would leave the country before I
would try to keep them who are in
terested from doing anything. I have
1 heard quite a lot of young men say
what they was willing to give
to build a school house and if the
I fathers that have children to send
to school would even get interested
as the young men are we would
soon have a school building.

Health of our community is about
as usual. No serious sickness as I
I hear of. No cases of fever or Pneu
monia only a few chills linger on yet.
We are .having some, cold, rough,
rain weather and the plows have all
stopped plowing for the 1910 crop.
There is more wheat sown than
I usual and not very much either. The
j cotton farmers have got so enthused
'over the price of cotton it will take
several years to make them believe
that a small cotton crop pays more
money to the producer than all cot
ton crop and no corn, no meat, no
wheat, no oats, no hay, no stock, and
infact not much of anything except
a gallas of meat at 14 to 16 cents per
pound, a 50 lb. sack of flour at a
time, at the rate of $3.20 per hun
dred, and a few other paper sacks.
That is the way wo have been living.
: Let us right about face and march
steady in an opposite direction. Let
us diversify—raise all on the old
farm we can to consume, and cotton,
too, but not so much. The cotton
crop in the United Stales is about 3
million bales short this year from
what it was last year, yet we will
get more money for this short
crop than we did for the last year’s
crop.
So look and live, look and be wise,
look to your own interest, look to
the interest of your family, look to
the education of the young boys and
girls, look to the building up of our
country, financially, spiritually and
every other way that we cap. Try
to make our homes more attractive
arid more comfortable every way.
, Have better houses to Jive In, better
barns nd shelters for your stock,
make a I save all the manure you
pjsMbiy (, in an d gave expenses, buy
ing so icnch commerlcal fertilizer.
Do better faimlng a n ( i Uwe better.
Stay at home more and not go to
town only when you are oblik-f'tf tb
j go. Build up a good bank account.
Buy nothing on a credit if you can
possibly help It, and then we can be
happy and enjoy ourselves at home
around our own fireside.
Christmas will soon be here. The
children will be looking for Santa
Clause and they ought not to be dis
appointed. Let us all get in tho
spirit of giving till the day comes
then make every body happy you
can.
So I will ring pff ere I make my
letter too long.
