narrowing Corn.

The Iowa Homestead says: We believe
in narrowing corn thoroughly, completely,
and often. But we would not harrow on a
wet day or a cloudy day, or on ground full
Of half covered stalks Of last years growth.
In other words, no directions can be given
to fit every possible condition. All general
advice must be used with large amount of
common sense. When the ground is clear
Of rubbish and the sun shines, the harrow
is the best implement that can be used in
the cornfeld. II is the boss weed killer
and soil pulverizer. And these are the two
objects to DO attained in cultvating corn.
Therefore as a matter Of experiment,we ask
re e,ders to select an acre Of ground ard
commence narrowing as soon as done
planting, until the corn is up and then
keep on till it is three or four inches high.
Harrow that acre till you a re sure you have
ruined IT, and still keep on every few days
till your neighbOrs are quite sure you are Gt
for the asylum.

THE SOIL AND CROPS.

Tho great variety of soils together with
the climatic conditions gives rise TO tho
great variety ofnatural products and large
yields, and lays he foundation for an i'm.

Cotton, grain, tobacco and rice are the
leading staple crops.

Flax, hemp and jute grow to perfection,

MARKETS distance to New York
from the eastern and northern parts OF our

THE CLIMATE

North Carolina surpasses that Of any 9TH

TINS week we announce Judge S.
:. Semmes as candidate for re-
election to the Office of County and
Probate Judge. Judge Semmes, we
have reason to believe, has made an
honest, conscientious and impartial
officer, and discharged every duty
incumbent upon him with fidelity
and in good faith. 1t is whispered
that his opponents intend to charge
him with reckless allowance of claims
against the County; be this as it may,
we feel satisfied that Judge Semmes
is fully able to vindicate himself
against any such charges or insinua'
tions, and to give a satisfactory ac-
count of his acts in the discharge of
his official duties. 1t is too well
known that the administration of the
affairs of a County cannot be carried
on with ''promiscs to pay" and that
work and duty faithfully performed
by the servants of the people should
and must be literally remunerated.
Judge Semmes will no doubt be full
ly able to give satisfactory account
Of his administration of the finances
of the county.
