The Journal would like to see]
the Fanners Unions of the sur
rounding neighborhood get togeth
ei and have an old-fashioned pic- i
nic at Eaves spring, or some other i
suitable place nearby, as soon as
crops are laid by.
The Journal hopes the parties ]
•who are talking of erecting brick
business houses on Front street
will not get “cold-footed” and
abandon the idea of building. The
town needs some more good brick
h isiness houses and we know of
better time to build them than
• i I
right now.
Under the new law recently pass
ed by Congress it ought to he an
easy matter for theollicers to wipe
out the blind tigers. The Jour
nal has heard frequent complaints:
juade of these so-called joints, but j
it seemed to lx* the general opinion 1
that undef the existing circum- .
stances nothing could be done. It
is now up to the officers and they
have easy sailing. So far as the
-editor of The Journal is personal
4y concerned we are not interest
ed in the matter, as the joints do
not a H oot us in the least, whether
there are none, one or a dozen, and
The Journal has no fight to make
on either side of the question.
It is said that there is on depos
it in the banks of Fayetteville
about $3,000,000 belonging to the
farmers in that vicinity of the for
ty acre class, those owning
larger farms not being counted.
This, it is said, has been accom
plished by .scientific farming, high
fertilization, growing of fruits,
terries, poultry, hogs, cattle,
mules and horses. Would it not
be a good tiling for some of our
farmers to follow the example of
these Washington county tillers
of the soil ( All conditions are a>
favorable for scientific farming
along all lines, with the possible
exception of fruit growing, right
here in Independence as in Wash
ington county, and The Journal)
would like to see our farmer j
friends put this suggestion to a
practical test.
