\ Getting a Start in Life
u. ui. Dicken, In Che I'uumcrt Guide u»wwjjss». ^
The question has been asked
how can a .young man without,
-capital, but ambitious, healthy,
strong and anxious to own a farm,
get a start and finally gratify that
ambition? We ourselves have had
.some experience in that line. Well
do 1 remember our own struggle.
We are going to write from the
standpoint of a young man, either
married or single and without
money, but our remarks are par
ticularly pointed toward the am
bitious young married people
whose heart-desire is to own a
farm home of their own. First,
we must remember that as a farm ,
band, the young man may make I
biinseif so valuable to his employ
er that he cannot get along with
out him. Young men of this kind
always command good wages. Af- j
ter having earned your wages, j
make it a rule to save as nearly all
of it as possible. I do not advo
cate this as a rule for life, but, re
member, we are getting a start
now. I think it is possible for a
single man working by the month
on a farm to lay by at least 75 per
cent of his wages and at the same
time wear good clothes, go to a
reasonable amount, and in fact,
enjoy a good time, as the saying
goes. But this cannot be done
and patronize the saloons, hop-ale j
joints, gambling rooms and other j
like places. We must have a
moral young man.
A part of such man’s wages may
be invested in a horse and buggy,
but take good care of each and do
not get into the habit of buying a
new buggy each summer. This
allows a lack of good judgment.
Better place that money in a good
bank or loan it to some respousi |
ble party at a good rate of interest;
for when you go to farming for
yourself you will need it. It is
nice to have enough laid by to
furnish the home comfortably be
sides having enough to purchase!
a good team and wagon and the !
necessary farming tools. A man
can put a small fortune into farm '
ing implements. The right kind
of a young man can accomplish
these things in a very few years, j
even by working by tho month.
Now, let us suppose we have
this much. The next step is to
i rent a farm. This is one groat
stride towards independence. Kent
a farm with as good soil as can be
found and one that can be retain
ed for a number of years if possi
j ble. As far as terms, etc., go,
both tenant and landlord should
have a fair and square showing.
The tenant should make up his
mind to do his very best. He
should give his crops extra good
tillage and make an agreement
with the land lord to grow differ
ent crops in rotation. Keep as
much good stock as the size of
farm will permit and save and ap
ply as much manure as possible.
If the farm is out of repair, do
not be afraid to clean up a little
without pay. Do your best, and
the pay will come later.
One thing more: Husband and
wife must go arm and arm, hand
in hand in this matter or the chan
ces are they will never meet with
much success. They should be
equal partners, working for each
other’s interests. The income the
first year may not be large, but
save some of it. The first money
laid by was only $:-55. That mon
ey was as precious to us then as
ten times that amount now. There
were many things we needed, but
we chose to do without for some
years, that we might add to that
amount. This we did until we
considered that it had grown large
enough to make payment on a
farm home for ourselves. The
same rule holds good in finishing
paying for the farm. We must
employ industry, economy, hon
esty and morally to make ends
meet, as we should have them to.
I do not recommend the penury
or miser system, but do recom
mend using good judgment in the
disposal of all that we earn. This
thing of getting a good start in
life has been done by thousands
of our parent- and grandparents,
and it can he done in this day and
age and will be done in the future.
I am not pointing toward great
riches, hut independence, which is
greater than riches.
STATE GETS $19,404 JUDGMENT
Fee Claimed From Western Un
ion Telegraph Co. for Filing
Articles of Incorporation
Little Kock, Aug 4. In the sec
ond division of the Pulaski circuit
court judgment in favor of the
state of Arkansas was given against
the Western Union Telegraph
Company for $111,404. The suit
was brought against the telegraph
company by Prosecuting Attorney
Rhoton for failure to tile articles
of incorporation. During the trial
it developed that the company had
filed the articles, but it was also
brought out that after they were
filed the company had increased
its capital stock to an amount sev
eral times in excess of the capital
stock on which the fee for tiling
was paid. The company only
paid $.V.h» tiling the original arti
cles, while under the increased cap
ital stock the state claimed that the
fee should be $20,000. The com
pany demurred to the complaint,
and after the answer of the prose
cuting attorney would not plead
further, and the court therefore
rendered judgment for $10,404,
the difference between $500 and
$‘20,000. The Western Union
made a motion for a new trial,
which was over ruled and an appeal
will be takeu.

es near Greenbrier, Faulkner
county, lost $2,0<M) in currency in

locked in her trunk when she was
at home and concealed it on her
person whenever she left. Mrs.
Young went to the pasture to pick
some blackberries and dropped
the handkerchief containing the
money. The next day search was
made for the lost fortune. Mr.
Yonng found the handkerchief
and close by two $20 bills. The
whole pasture was searched and
bits of the money were found scat
tered around promiscuously, hav
ing been chewed up by calves, the
amount destroyed being $1,025.
Each year for the past three years
Mr. Young, after paying his hills,
put the savings in a handkerchief
and placed them in the custody of
| his wife.

Davis, Vardanian and Tillman

a Negro preacher
Washington, Aug. 3. Senator
Tillman of South Carolina, Gov.
Vardaman of Mississippi and Gov.
Davis of Arkansas were subjects
of attack again today in the Ne
gro Young People's Christian and
Educational Congress. The speak
er who delivered himself of hostile
sentiments against these well
known Southern men today was
the Rev. R. T. Brown, editor of
the Christian Index, published at
Jackson, Term. This is a sample
of his remarks:
"1 would rather accept the ver
sions of progress as delineated by
Bishop Galloway than 1 would lis
ten to a single utterance of a thous
and Tillmans, two thousand Var
danians or five thousand Jeff Dav
is. Such men are the curse of the
nation, and it is primarily due to
the utterances of these men that
the widespread prejudices against
the negro have been stirred up.”
