Mandy Makin’ Soap.
When spring hez sent her courier*
A-lazin’ on th’ freeze,
An water sort o’ stam^g erouncl
A-waitin’ ft*r t* freeze,
Then "ma" she sits her kittle out
An’ scrapes th’ house fer dope,
An' pritty soon yew ketch a sniff
Of Mandy rankin’ soap!
Th’ buds hez sort o’ cum t’ life,
Th’ sap has bust its noose,
To' fust spring robin flutters in,
Th’ cricks is breakin’ loose—
Then Mandy stirs th’ bilin’ fat
Out there among th’ trees,
Where spring i- pinoticin' t’ sing
ller vernal ecstasies!
Then Mandy stirs th' bilin' fat,
Rigged up most fit t’ kill—
Upon her back a ragged coat
Thet onct wuz worn by Rill;
Around her head she wears a shawl.
With arctics on her feet—
An’ everywhere ye go, by heck,
Them smells yer nostrils greet!
She's sort o’ touchy, too, by gosh.
An’ burns her lingers sum—
. *s mikin' soap
Th’ place ain't much like hum;
So 1 jist git ol’ Dobbins out
An’ hitch him on th’ floor.
An’ sneak away t’ play a game
Of checkers at th* store!
An’ drivin’ hum I eat a bite
Of sausage in th’ skin.
An’ sody crackers irum th’ store
Of Hezekiah Flinn;
An’ all way bac k l walk th’ hoss,
A-ouddlin up th’ hope
Thet ’ma” hez got tier riggin’ off
An’ finished makin' soap!
Don’t consent to pay $.>00,000 for a
court house for the use of a lot of
highly paid county officials and a
hunch of lawyers, while you have to
haul cotton through mud belly deep
to the mules to pay for it. Build first
some good roads for yourself.
Had you noticed that in spite of the
fact that the dumpers had sold the
major part of the cotton and crowded
the market for all that was needed
right now and for some time to come,
that the lfi-cent price was coming
steadily along?
Don’t be satisfied with only one
crop off your hands for a whole twelve
months. Lands are getting too costly
! for this slipshod sort of culture. Most
! land will be all the la tter for three
I or even four crops, provided they
have been carefully planned.
The trouble with the farmer all the
time is a tack of confidence in other
farmers. While he is willing to trust
everything to the slick politician.
When is the day coming that the man
who, fot the sake of the loaves and
the fishes of political fortune, Is not
allowed to carry away the people's
votes by the ardor of his defense of
the old soldier, or some other thing
of the past, jus* then the light will
begin to break, mid the day of hope
will have come to the farmer.

STCR.T& A NECESSITY,
Small Retailers Fixed Pcrrar.enlly as
factors ir. Groinl Life.
There are pessimists who view with
alarm the r< >o!ui!< nary forces at we;k
in the business world. These people
of narrow views solemnly announce
that within a few years there will* be
no place for the small retailors, that
the so-called country merchant will be
driven out of business, and will be sup
planted by large concerns that will
have the trade which is now divided
among a dozen or more small stoics.
Some of them go so far in their dole
ful predictions as to predict that the
business of the country will be trans
acted in the larger cities, aiu! that
the country town shall beedtone a
thing of the past.
These woeful prophets fail to take
into consideration the force of natural
law in the social and the business
world. They are illogical enough not
to welch tlie relationship of economy
to trade conditions. Trade, like Tight- !
ning or like water, follows the lines i
I of least resistance. Cit'zct.s and towns
exist upon economic foundations. On
the virgin western plains a small col
ony of settlers seek homes. The
wants and necessities of these set
tlers must be supplied. The result is
the establishment of a store at a cen
tral point in the new cfclony. This
store becomes tht? nucleus of a town,
a city in embryo. As otb:r settlers
come in. the town grows more impor
a.,t, new industries are established,
h cal government is organized, roads
radiate from the place, banks and .
other financial institutions are estab- !
balled, and here we have a thriving
town created.
This town exists because there is a
necessity for its existence, and this
necessity is the jvorking out of I
economic laws. Wherever communi- '
*ies exist, tradesmen will exist. They j
are a necessary part of the social and i
business life. They are necessary
agents in the distribution of com
modities. They are the outgrowth
of thousands of years of commer
cialism. and they cannot be snp
1 planted'by any other system. Large
| stores of the department kind
may grow up. They are also a neces
sity and are revolutionary in char
acter, but there will ever remain a
place for the small store, it matters
not how large the city or how small i
the town.
