splendid crop will be garnered.

Something little out OF the usual order
occurred ct Anderson few days ago. A
gentleman being in need of corn hitched

TO loan, good stock. and lives well. Every
farmer who makes enough corn for his own
the majority that it will pay to raise their
own prcvisions. Suppose, for instance, that
q great. food should cut ua off from the
West, what would the people of Anderson
dop We doubt il there Is more than six
weeks or two months supply OF provisions
in the County. This state of affairs Is de-
plorable. Think Of It! .s,, ~
