wif5, Mary Hardy, were living
happily together as husband and
wife, the*defendant wrongfully
contriving and inteiiuHl2*,Tff in-

of his said wife, did wickedly,
willfully and maliciously entice
wife of plaintiff and caused her

The time to secure cheap lands
is now. Some classes1 of stock
farming may be carried on, and
will he carried on, with lands
selling at $300 and $400 per acre.

sown.
School has been put off again
for the reason that people are
not through picking cotton. So
the King you call cotton keeps
the children out of school and
out of an education. How would
it do to diversify more and raise
less cotton.
Mules and colts are a good
price, good hogs are a good price
and eggs are 30c the dozen.
And yet we continue to slave
our lives out raising cotton 13
months.
while the $5 farmer is changing
his mind by ridding his mouth of
tobacco juice. Farmers working
on $75 land have more money in
the bank than do the men who
“skin” $5 land and think they
are farming.
As our larmers read more a-
bouc their own calling; think
more about the “new wrinkles”
in the improved methods of
farming these cheap lands rise
in price, because their values
have been increased. The $5-
acre plus brains becomes in a
few years a $10-a?res; the $20
land with a wide-awake thinking
farmer on it becomes $40 land,
and its owner is not merely a,
laborer, or a farmer, but he be-
comes an investor. The farmers

In some sections farm lands
