PLANT CORN•
The time to plant «orn is nearly
Imre, Plant com. There are more
people buying corn this year in
Thomson than any year within the
last ton, and it will be the same
next year if wo don’t plant corn.
It may bo truo that last years
corn crop was poor, and this may
account for a number who are buy
ing corn who usually use ll; from
their own crib, but where there is
one buying on account of the poor
crop of 1908, there are ten buying
on account of the high price of
cotton in 1907. The usual amount
of corn was not planted, and when
it was planted its cultivation was
neglected for the cotton crop.
McDullio County can do noth
ing better than plant a largo corn
crop. Think of the thousands of
dollars we an sending out of the
county and Btate for corn this
year, and in most instances these dol
lars represent mortgages on stock and
crops.
The prospect for an oat crop is
fair, and if McDullio will follow
this with a large corn crop, she
will have taken the first towards
independence and prosperity.
"My throe year old boy was badly con-
atipated, had a high fever aud was in au
awful condition. I gave him two do-os of
Foley'a Orino Laxative and the next morn
ing the fever was gone and he was entirely
well. Foley's Orino Laxative saved his
life.” A. Wolkush, Casimer, Wis. A. «T.

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.
Lets elect the Governor for four
years instead of two, and have
done with it for awhile.
Already the campaign for the
year 1910 is on, and unless all
signs fail it will bo the same line
up as to candidates ns in 1908—
Brown and Smith. It is true that
Govornor-oluct Brown lias not
been inaugurated, and nothing is
known of his administration of
the states affairs, yet those who
in position to know say that Gov.
Smith is on his trail, and has all
but announced himself a candi
date. i
And it was also truo that Gov.
Smith was defeated before his ad
ministration had had a fair show
ing. So many elections, and so
much confusion about state mat-
tors is not for the best interest of
the state, and wo believe that the
people would favor a law giving
tho Governor four years in otlice,
and mako him ineligible for re-
election. If this was the law every
Govornor would have a fair chance,
and tho people would bo spared
constant political turmoil.
HOG ORDINANCE NOW IN FORCE.
For the first umo since Thom
son was incorporated as a town
she is practically free of hogs.
The Mayor and Council recently
passed an ordinance forbidding tlis
keeping of hogs in town after
March 1st and beforo October 1st
of each year, unless they are in a
pasture of two acres or more. As
very lew of cur citizens have two
acre pastures nearly every hog in
Thomson has boon killed or lias
taken to tho tall timbers.
The object of the ordinance is
to promote the health of the town,
and it iB believed that it will do
so. Certainly it. will remove the
source of many toul and offensive
odors which alone will be a blcss-
mg.
We are informed that tho City
Marshal has begun to peep around
in the various hog pens that do
not contain two acres or more, and
if you have one hid out there you
had better get busy at once.

ARE WE TO HAVE A
RAINY SPRING.
The farmers aro beginning to
ask, “Aro we to have a rainy
Spring?”
It is impossible to say with any
degree of certainty, because tho
almanacs don’t agroe on this pro
position. Some of them have
rain every three or four days du
ring tho early Spring months,
while others have them every
week or ten clays.
However there is one thing it
would bo well to keep in mind:
The rainfall tor this sectiou is
considerably short of normal, and
generally this is made up in tho
next season. Of course, this is
not true in every instance but as
a usual thing a dry Winter is fol
lowed by a wot Spring, a wet
Spring by a dry Summer Ac.
Let us hope however, that the
surplus for this section will be re
tained in tho skies until the parch
ing days of Summer come, am!
then sent to us when the drouth is
d ac to come.
