Our citizens were somewhat alarmed by
the severity of the wind and the heavy
rainfall on last Sunday morning, about 4
o'clock. 1t was thought by many to beam
othe. cyclone It seems to have been gen.
eral all over the County. In several Sec
tons considerable hail fell, some of the
stones as large as guinea eggs. We have
heard of no damage. The wind, however,
blew down considerable fencing and dead
timber.
We cordially welcome the Southern Cult
vator for March to our desk. In addition to
its customary monthly advice, its answers
10 inquiries and the article contributed by
that veteran and triumphant farmer, Mr..

is allied in any manner to the pursuit of
agriculture. AS we turn page after page we
are delighted with its varied contents, and
feel sure that the man or the woman who
applies $1.10 in connection with our jour
nal, in payment Bf years subscription

ment.
The Barnwell People voices our sentiment
in the following: The candidacy for DEM
ocratic nominations in our County promi-
| ses to be large and lively. This journal
will, as in past campaigns, favor free and
fair fight. 1t will not give editorial aid and
comfort to any aspirant. It's columns will
be open to communications from candi-
dates and their hackers who will furnish
cash to the printer and arguments to the
public. No others will be admitted. The
people of the County want good servants,
and every nag must run on its own merits.
They who trust to cliques and combina-
tons will surely come to grief and tote the
trail.'
A correspondent of the Rural New- Yorker
describes the following method by which
an extraordinary crop of watermelons was
raised: Holes were dug ten feet apart each
way, eighteen inches square and fifteen
inches deep. These holes were filled with
well-rotted manure, which was thoroughly
Incorporated with the soil. A low, fiat hill
was then made and seed planted. When
the vines, were large enough to begin to
run, the whole surface was covered to the
depth of foot or fifteen inches with wheat-
straw. The straw was placed close up
around the vines. No cultivation whatever
was given afterward no weeds or grass
grew. The vines spread over the straw,
aud the melons matured clean and nice.
The yield was abundant, and the expert
ment an entire success" This plan is sure
ly worth trying.
Hate not. It is not worth while. Your
life is not long enough to make it pay to
cherish ill will or lard thoughts toward
anyone What if that man has cheated
you or that woman played you false?
What if this friend has forsaken you in
your time of need, or that one having won
your utmost confidence, your warmest love,
has concluded that he prefers to consider
and treat you as stranger? Let it all
pass. What difference will it make TO you
in few years, when you go hence to the
undiscovered country7" All who treat
you wrong now will be more sorry for it
than you, even in your deepest disappoint-
ment and grief can be-. A few more smiles,
few more tears, somo pleasure, much
pain, little longer hurrying and worrying
in the world, some hasty greetings and alb
rupt farewells, and life will be over, and
the injurer and injured will be laid away,
and ere long forgotten. It is not worth
while to hate each other.
The Negro Exodus to Arkansas.
