revcrberatcs tho exhortntion to our planters
and farmers, to increase tho present crop in eve.
ry possible way. And without a doubt, these
agricultural gentlemen arc bending themselves
with energy to tho domand. 10 suppose other
wise, would be to cstcc II them but selfish knaycs
who care for lite else if they raise enough for
their own purposes. See what our ncighbor Of
the Southern Cuhirator says on the subject:
We earnestly, counsel all our planting
friends to g"on vigorously and hopefully i'm the
patriotic and good work of increasing their crops
to the fullest extent. Let not the excitement Of
the times draw off your attention from your bu-
siness. Many of y"u can do your country far
more service at home now than von possibly
could in the tented field" Ii you arc ca ger
for the fray, curb your impaicncc yet n little
while. and it our enemies dare attempt to carry
out their own programme, we can all have Il
place in the picture" and n chnnce to smite
the invaders Let us relax no effort that may
contribute to the production of all that our suil
and climate can produce for tho sustenancc uf
man and beast. On most river and creek bot
toms, Corn may yet be planted We have seen

king nf beef and pork. Early crops Of Iur.
nips should also be started. and The GRAND pre.
