SOME TIMELY OBSERVATIONS
Uncle Silas Mack From Vacation
With Budget of Ciood Things
I his 13 cent cotton*is going to
cause trouble next year. What
the tanner needs now is a few fat
hogs to sell -.yes, and a few to
keep, too.
Better sow a patch of wheat this
fall; it will save you from paying
a dollar a s.ck for flour next sum
mer.
The farmer who has a few good
hogs, cattle and mules to sell now
is in better shape financially than
the 13-cent cotton raisers.
Don't plant too big a cotton crop
next year. Remember it kepps
your children out of school -they
will have to make the living after
awhile.
There i* a demand for good stock
at all times, and at good prices.
Then why not have a few good
ones to sell?
Thirty years ago we raised good
wheat in this country, and we can
raise it yet if we will only try.
This fall is the time to try.
Some people complain that they
are in the worst part of the world
to make a living. How do they
know? Ever try all the other
places?
Sow a small patch of rye close
to your barn for the chickens and
calves, and watch them feed on it
the pretty da.\s during the winter.
Don’t be a fool about the bad
roads unless you need to use them. |
No man lives so far from market
as the farmer who never has any- i
thing to market.

books. Try keeping a diary of
your collections and disbursments
for one year. You will be sur
prised at the result.
Some people keep a cotton field ,
between their children and the
school house, and by the time the
children can get the cotton out of
the way, school is out.
Some of our public roads are I
not so much in need of grading a>
they are of mowing. Uncle Silas
traveled over one of our main
thoroughfares the other day that
the weeds nearly overlapped the
road. Not a very good sign of
heavy traffic to the markets.
As the price of land advances it
is natural for the products of the
land to advance. The time for
cheap hogs and cheap cattle is
passed.
Every farmer should take three
or four good newspapers. Its the
reading people today that are run
ning the w'orld. We are living in
u progressive age, and we must
either progress or get out of the
way. Unclk Silas.

WERE SECRETLY WEDDED
H. J. Hayhan and Miss Emma
Garner Married July 2()th
It will do doubt be quite a sur
prise to his many friends around
Newark to learn that Henry J.
Mayhan, formerly of this place
was secretly married in Little
Rock on the 20th of last July.
He was married to Miss Emma
( iarner, of Prescott, the ceremony
taking place at the parsonage of
j the First Christian church in Lit
tle Rock, the pastor, Rev J. N.
Jessup, officiating.
The young lady has held a posi
tion in the Arkansas Deaf Mute
Institute for the past four years,
where Mr. Mayhan has also been
employed.
Their reason for keeping the
wedding a secret was that they
were not situated in the institute
as they desired, but having secur
ed the desired changes, the an
nouncement of their marriage was
made, only a few days ago, much
to the surprise of their many
friends.
We have never had the pleasure
I of knowing the bride, but the
groom is one of the best young
men Independence county ever
produced.
The Journal heartily joins their
many friends in wishing them a
full measure of life’s greatest
blessings. May they live long and
prosper.
