Young people should ac-
quire the habit of correct
speaking and writing, and
abandon as early as possible
any use of slang words and

uage Will be; and if the golden
age of youth, the proper sea-
son for the acquisition of lan-
guage, be passed in its abuse,
the unfortunate victim will
most probably be doomed to
talk slang f.>r life. Yon have
merely to use the language
which you read, instead of the
slang you hear to form a taste
in agreement with the speak-
ers and wets in the country.
Pauol;< Watchman
The Red Lawn Ftenic.
Editor Alto Herald—
The interest in farming ap-
pears to be on the inefeas^,'
from the size of the crowd that
gathered at Red Lawn on July
28 to hear Mr. Stallings lec-
ture ou methods of cultivating
and selecting seed for sftdcess*
ful farming.
Every community adjacent
to Red Lawn was represented
by energetic farmers, anxious
to learn as much as possible
from Mr. Stallings' evpprience,
which was told by him in a
very simple but instructive
way. The writer feels sure
that if the people wflf heed-hi^
advice they will be benefited
to a great extent—they will
make more successful farm-
ers ofl'f of themselves.
The good ladies, of cMirse,
furnished plenty of dinner,
after which Hon. George B.
Terrell addressed the people
on general events. Mr. Ter-
rell is an enthusiastic and in-
structive talker, a well wisher
of the farmer, being one him-
self, therefore, his interest is
1 . . '• J ' l «• 1
■with the farmer.
The people of Red Lawn
are most all good farmers, but
yet there is room for improve-
ment. Mr. Terrell's main
thought for successful fann-
ing is education, co-operation
and association, of which most
people will agree WitHf Rim.'
Successful farming is no little
thing. It is a science, which
people must study to obtain
good results. The people must
ifce patient, study their soils,
select their seed and cultivate
thoroughly to obtain the best
results.
Farmers, as a rule, are too
impatient to get results. If
everything doesn't go the.'/
way immediately, they are
ready to throw up the sponge,
and say their efforts are a
failure. The great priuciples
which the organization of far-
mers are now vorkiiisf to puv
'"to practical operation • ,ill
be a most gratifying success
if they can be accomplished
withitf the next ten years. It
cannot be denied that great
progress has been made ill the
past three years, Be patient,
strive to win, if ultimate suc-
cess mus'; come, rat,lle.r than
lutrry to failure and filial de-
£truction. J. C.'rogers.
