A W idower’s Soliloquy.
Is it to be or not to be,
That’s an important the question life to me;
Am I doomed for rest of
To seek vainly for a wife?
I am in hard luck indeed, %
I cannot get what I need.
Yet early and late I’m in the strife
Trying hard to get me a wife.
Is it because I am all alone
That my heart is sorely torn ?
Alas, I lead a dreary, lonesome wife life
Because I am unable to get a
My partner ’Gene has deserted me,
He left for Atlanta in high glee;
This to him is a happy life
Because he has gone to get a wife.
In my lonely room I set,
Nothing to do but sigh and fret
And brood over my lonely life,
Because I can’t get a wife.
Gome weal, come woe,
I still courting will go
And I’ll be just as keen as a knife,
For I am determined to get a wife.

not made of cotton seed for we got
it out of the hog and we knew just
what it was, and hams were as good
then as they are now, and everything
was better then and just as cheap as
now. What is the matter with our
country or our people? What and is

everything else remains so high;
surely it can’t people be over production complaining of
cotton? The are

and many children are almost naked.
Is there no end to these times? Just
think of the condition of our coun¬

this year? No one in our neighbor
hood can do it. It costs us just as
much to make cotton now as it ever
did; land rent and labor are just as
high as they were when we got 14c.
for cotton. It seems that tiiis i3 a

into before they loose all interest in
farming. Our country is going

larger every year. The people are
obliged to grow something to pay
their debts with and cotton is the
only crop that they can realize any
cash money on ami now the crash
has come with it. What shall we do?
Continue to raise it or not? Can
we make corn and oat crops a cash

farms or can we raise cotton at the
present prices to pay farming ex¬

any, to plant for another year.
