A good story is told of a farmer in Georgia, who rented some land last year to a colored man for a third of the crop. When the drought came on, his corn and cotton were affected by it. He gathered two bales of cotton and two wagoo loads of coro. The latter he peoned up tor his own use and the cotten was sold. When bis landlord cailed for his share he was told there was none forhim. He was thunderstruck and asked: ‘Didn't I rent you the land for a third of the crop!’ ‘Yes, boss,” said the man, “but you see there was no third. Dere was only two bales of cotton and two load of corn; all mine and nuffin’ for you by de contract.”” And the land- 5 t inventions, and with QUREN SQUARE. e woes o . = = O82 = « pont oo ss 22 ' > cm J) © <x a N se vo 4 as | gSa ' OS 3/22 ca | Oe = <f —i|aw. < Pe = 8 = ‘S'S : ie. oi .Fe.y = | ben 2 LQ Do > .
