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.

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.
