We were shown on Wednesday last beet
grown by Col. c. S. Mattison that weighed
20 lbs. 1t measured in length 19 inches, and IN
circumference % inches. This is certainly
prodigy in the beet line, and we hope that the
Colonel will have like success with all his
crop.
On Tuesday last we visited the farm of Col.
Roberts, and enjoyed ourselves finely. we
inspected his entire crop, and found it in ex-
cellent condition. The Colonel is one OF the
most enterprising farmers in the up-county.
He works upwards of 40 acres OF land with
one horse His corn is very fine, and his
cotton would certainly take the premium for
size, regularity and cleanliness.
Although Earle's Bridge has been thrown
open to the public as free crossing over Seneca
River, the owner ofthe fisheries at Shallow FORD
wants it distinctly understood that his fish
traps are not public property, and should not
be depredated upon by seining parties from
distance. Unless persons take warning from
this gentle hint, and discontinue the practice OF
robbing the traps, the aid of the law will be
invoked to protect private rights.

collection to be taken up in the different
Churches in the County to aid them in distribu-

the Churches at the Court House to take up the
collection on the third Sabbath in July, and
the country Churches at their earliest conven-
ience, and remit the proceeds to the Treasurer
Mr A. 3. Towers. The Society has engaged
the services of Mr.. Ezekiel White as Colpor-
teur, and urge upon all Christians and friends
of the cause to aid them in extending the good
work.
