From William Penn.

WILLIAM PENN, April Ia, '7o.
Editors Brennan Banner:
As / am a constant reader of
your valuable paper, l gener-
ally know what is going on in
the country. l have nothing
new to write: crops are looking
very promising in this neighbor-
hood.
Your able correspondent from
Graball wishes to know some
thing about corn and cotton
planters, how to prepare the
land, &c. AS l have been US
ing both corn and cotton plan
tiers, we give him the benefit of
our experience. l first bed
the land for both cotton and corn
then take pole that will reach
across three beds, hitch a span
of horses TO it and drag it over
the beds; that leaves them fiat
on top; then run the planter on
the bed. l never fail to get
good stands of corn or cotton,
and an ordinary hand can chop
from two-and-a-half to three
acres per day of cotton. As to
the best kind of planters, there
is great difference of opinion;
| lave seen several different
kinds, but prefer Tunnard's 20
any that l have seen, as plant
corn and cotton seed with the
same machine by having differs
ent attachments; probably the
same thing might be done with
other patents.
If my experience and.opinion
is worth anything to him he is
welcome to it.
We had a fine rain on Easter
Sunday, which was very much
nee ded to bring up late planted
cotton. Us. Brown.

About Cultivators.

Editors Banner:
In reply to J. H. R., of Ora
ball: | break up my land early
in spring; for cotton, when
ready to plant, run a heavy
furrow over it and smooth it
down. l then open with a bull
tongue, drop the seed and COW
er with an Advance walking cul-
tivator which covers all the
seed; l then take a light har-
row and smooth it down again.
In this way I have planted
ground that was too rough to
plant with a harrow alone.
Corn l always plant in check,
and am satisfied that one man
with a cultivator can cultivate
from thirty to forty acres of
corn. Riding cultivators are
not practicable. One or two of
my neighbors bought them, but
have thrown the seats away and
now use them as walking ones.
To use cultivators to an advan-
tage. stalk cutters must also be
used. J. H. G.

Friday-Mick Moore. color

Of VIM. Francis, also colored.
Steam was up on time in court
and everything was ready to
start the wheels in motion.
Mick was on hand to answer the
complaint. but William being
called failed to appear and Mick
was discharged. 1t is a very
common thing for one darkey
to have another arrested and
before the case comes on for
trial to kiss and make up.
Dan Vaughn, colored was also
at the mourners bench, but the
Camptown policeman, remem-
berins his bad luck in two-thlrds
of a dozen cases the other day,
withdrew the charge.
Monday Mat Cooper, col
ored who lives on Mill creek,
came to town on Saturday and
made war on the Juice OF bug"
About midnight he fell into the
hands of the cops. He plead
guilty and was fined 81 and
trimmings. His employer paid
him out.

Local Correspondence.
From GreenviIle.


Editoss Banner:
Nothing Of local interest in
this part of the county. Mr..
Perrymen, who has been dan
gerously i'll, is convalescing.
/ propose saying few words
on blowing and narrowing. Ex-
perience has proved to me that
the great secret in farming in
this part of Texas, consists in
preparing the land well and
early and in forward planting.
All that is necessary in prepar-
ing the land is a good team, a
good turning pillow and a good
iron or steel tooth harrow. l
think the Brinley pillow best
adapted to breaking all kinds
kf land.
The old dogma. SO long in
ICED in by the farmers of
exas, of supposing that land
for corn and cotton must be
bedded up, is fast passing into
disuse, and should be numbered
among the things that are past.
The better plan is to break
the land deep, broadcast, and
harrow well at the proper time.
l am creditably informed that
some of the best western farm
ers keep a good harrow in the
field, and what land they break
in the morning is we'll narrowed
before dinner to prevent the
wind from drying the clods and
making them SO hard the har-
row would rave no effect on
them. In short, preparing land
well for crop, good harrow
is an indispensable implement
of husbandry, and am much
surprised to see sensible men
Flooding behind the pillow,
stumbling over clods for years,
without learning the advantage
of a good harrow.
We are in the midst of a
spring drought, but old Texas
apprehend but little damage to
crops unless we have a summer
drought. as was the case in
1857. Some farmers are want
ing rain to melt the clods and
bring up lately planted crops;
others have their lands in good
condition and are not suffering
for rain.
The weather is beautiful and
pleasant; health of the people
generally good; spirits of the
farmers bouyanti in consequence
of a little advance in the price
of cotton.

him to the sheriff. Dave is
very crazy and was singing

HOG HOLIDAY. = Tuesday,
April 18th, A. D. 1879, will ever
be a day memorable with the
hog family. On that day all
the imprisoned and inpounded
hogs in the city of Brennan,
were by edict of the city coun-
Gil, emancipated, set free and
restored to hoggish liberty and
independence. A number of
liberated hogs made their ap-
pearance on and about the pub
lie square. The fieas which
have been lean, hungry, weak
and emaciated will now, that
the hogs are out, soon be fat,
hearty, strong, vigorous and vo-
racious.
