DOWN IN EMANUEL.
It is a good idea once and a while to
look around and see what your neigh
bor Is doing. You may learn a thing
or two.
A farmer who often comes to Thom-
hrn* l>eeii down in Emanuel county
and while there he looked around.
What do you think he saw? I'lc saw
fanners hauling hay—.but it w as TO
town to Ik: shipped and not FROM
town. This opened his eyes and caus
ed him to sot up and take notice. He
found that the farmers dow n there not
only do not have grass shipped Into
the county, but they ship it out in
large quantities.
Hchbw something else—a ls>y going
lo mill with live large sacks tilled with
home grown w heat. This caused him
not equal that sold In Thomson on .the i
first day of March. When he asktd If
the corn crop don’t fail some time, the
answer was “Yes mister, but the cot
ton crop dees too, and we keep on
planting both.”
Another thing he found was Hint the
farm lands of the county Mre getting
more valuable each day, the people
mo re prosperous, and that many of
them have never heard of the great
panic of 1907.
