THE LARGEST CROP OF OATS EVER
SoWN.-It is estimated that there is
now twice as much land sowed In oats
as there was last year, and there was
twice as much soWed last year es there
was the year previous. This looks ike
business, and if we can persuade our
people to pay their debts and to buy
homes and farms for their little ones,
instead of throwing away their money
on life insurance, and for the purchase
of worthless guanos, triding lightning
rods, and useless well-pumps, they will
prosper and be happy.
MANY a poor farmer to-day regrets
that the mortgage for guanos 1s now
over his crop. It Is too late now. Pay
up and do so no more. Experience
teaches dear school, and 1t Is said that
some people won't learn atany other.
WE are pleased to announce the mar
riage of our old friend, DR.. J. A. Gil
bert, of Bordeaux, to Miss Nee Ten
nant, of Marietta, Ga, on the 18th inst.
Our best wishes attend the happy
couple.
DrJA Stuart, at Ninety Six last year
sowed barley on less than an acre OF
ground. This Spring he sold. the crop
for Sl47.50. There is no reason why you
shouldn't do as we'll.
THE "gentlenlan" farmer who stands
in the shade and grumbles about unre.
liable labor should by all means now
SOW oats. as his credit may not be good
next year.
MAJ GRIFFIN will SOW during No
vember fifty bushels of harley to sell to
the breweries. It is the most profitable
crop sowed In this country - sow i'm
mediately.. .....
WE return'our thanks to Col. James
! A. Hoyt, the Secretary, for tickets tt
\ the Anderson Fair, which comes off this
week, being the 9th, 2sth, and Goth inst
To AVOID giving liens next year
SOW barley patch, during November
which will carry you until your oats are
ripe. ><
Mr.. ROBT. PRATT is one Of the best
corn raisers in the County. he made
this year 5S bushels to the acre on up
land. ... ...
Sow plenty of wheat. If you should
have some of the grain to sell next
year it will add to your credit.
WORTHLESS lightning rods cost six
cents foot. If you want them, send te
the manufactory for them.
1.-THE righteous man regardeth the
life of his beast" and will pow SOW 6
bushel of barley for him.
THE farmer who paid fifteen dollars
barrel for ten dollar flour last Summer
should now sow wheat.
A PATCH of barley costs almost moth
ing and will feed horse or cow fo'
months in the Spring.
YoUR horse can live four months or
one bushel Of barley, If the barley IL
sown at once.
Mr.. AND MRS. J. NJ. LATIMER, q
Lowndesville, were at the Fair or
Thursday.
WE advise merchants not to credit
any farmer who neglects to SOW wheat
and oats.
Do lightning rod agents pay license
for the privilege of cheating our people,
GEN. w. NJ. GARY, of Edgefeld
was in town on yesterday.
LIGHTNING RODS are humbug, and
not worth snap.
LONG CANE had a good representa-
tion at the Fair.
OUR fences cost us five times as much
as our taxes.
REV. w. F. PEARSON patronized the
Fair.
LET we'll pumps alone-they Won't
do.
