Show THE PROSPECTS. The prospects are, that we, as a people, need a change of tactics. We have quite a number of stores among us, whose proprielors yearly import thousands of dollars w,orth of goods that might b manufactured at home if we would go to work and do so. We have Fat tories in the Te rritory thatare capable of manufacturing asfine fabric5' as brought from the outside vor'd, aiui what we neod is, people hat will go to work and grow the rot-ion rot-ion and enough of it to supply these mills that they may be kep'. at work and then they will be enabled to manufacture man-ufacture cloth in abundarce; but, as it is, they are nippled and can only manufacture it in a limited quantity for want of the raw material. 'Well,' some of you wiU say, 'we can buy our goods so much cheaper from the. stores than we can from the factories.'. True4, )ou can ;. but. how long will it last. We ask you ? Times are changing-. E vf'ry thirg in the east is down nearly as low as it was before the war, atid the day is not far distant when there will be a sudden change, and one that some of 30U are not looking for, and it Lehnoves us to prepare f r the event. It may be years and it may only be a few .months, but it is sure to come and if we are piepaied for it, we will not be left in confusion when it does come. The signs of the times are apparent and events looked for are taking place, and if we will go to work and raise our own ei ain. cotton, tobacco, tobac-co, fruits, make wire, brooms, fahiics buttons, combs, in fac', everything that we need that cut. posMbly be manufactured at home and a small quantity to expoit if we wis! to, we will soon b(C me independent Ws can g'ow luc rue 1 ay and veg t-lab es 10 dispose of in our immediate viciiity with which toprjeure money to purchase those things that are 1 eally necessary that we cannot yet manu facture.

We can also raise an excellei t quality of fruit here if we cultivate our trees and vines as we should. When trees and vines are first planted and they are yet small, we work the ground a-round a-round them and keep it loose, but when the trees and vines become larger, lar-ger, we neglect them and the ground becomes hard and baked and the water wa-ter cannot penetrate it. and the roots are pinched and cannot qbtain the sue- cor they could if the soil was kept- loose and mellow, and the conse- , quence is, thr-y do not produce well. Keep the ground moist", and midlow around your trees and vines and your fruit will be enougn j. beiter to pay you and command a !' higher ptiue vben it is exported. !
