Mr.. james B. Roberts, an enterprising
young farmer of Centreville township,
brought us some samples of very fine
cotton last Monday. He secured few Of
the seed at the Allan ia Exposition, and
has improved them considerably. The
bolls are very large, the lint from forty
of them, in a seasonable year, weighing q
pound. The lint is also very fine. Mr..
Roberts says it will yield more to the
acre, mature earlier, and is easier picked
than any cotton he has ever seen grown
in this country. He has lot of the seed
for sale. See advertisement elsewhere.

An article published in the Scientific
american saws Mr. Edward Atkinson, we'll
known as the New Highlander who is
deeply interesting himself in everything
relative to cotton, has lately announced
the discovery of new and important ele-
ment of value in the cotton crop. He
states that for each bale O cotton there
are 1,50O pounds of stems, which are very
rich in phosphate of lime and potash.
When ground and mixed with cotton seed
meal (which is 100 rich:for use in fodder
in large quantities), the stem mixture
makes a superior cattle food, rich in all
the elements needed for the production of
milk, meat and bone: It is believed that
this utilization of the cotton stems, hither-
to a nuisance, will prove to cotton growers
new source OF wealth, and IN many parts
greatly facilitate the raising of stock, by
furnishing substitute for grain.
The other day We were escorted through
the hardware store of Messrs. Sullivan &
Bro. and given birds eye view of their
immense stock. To say we were surprised,
would be expressing it mildly, for we
never dreamed that such stock of hard
ware, cutlery, tools, builders materials,
scales, guns, shot, agricultural imple-.
ments, &C., could be found this side of
Charleston. The young gentlemen COM
posing this firm are full Of pluck, energy
and progressiveness, and have built up q
business equal to that Of any similar es.
tablishment in the State. They buy in
large lots direct from the manufacturer,
which enables them to sell their goods at
prices that defy competition. 1t is worth
any ones time to visit their store and look
at their goods. Just before leaving we were
told to select pocket knife, with their
compliments we did so,!but it was hard
task, for their stock Of cutlery is SO large,
that a person could spend day in look
ing over it.
