"There are twenty-five miles to be re.laid with

Some Practical Suggestions.

EUTAwyILLE, S. c., June 18th, 1886.
We are in the midst of a wet season
and crops, are bouyent, as well as grass
and weeds, etc: SAY You, we know that,
tell lis something We do not know.
Well we suppose editors are mitch
learned and could not look for anything
original or entirely new from scribbler
and we must beg pardon MIR. Editor.
We write for the information Of your
readers, and hope to get them to think
ing or acting for themselves. for it IS
plainly to be seen that too many OF our
farmers allow the factors and mer-
chants to do their brain work, whose
dupes and slaves they are. What has
become of "Critlc?" Has cheap cotton
and Cincinnati bacon killed him out.
| have not noticed his obituary. IT
living l suppose his time and attention
IS turned entirely toward the move
ments of Gen. Green, whose forces are
advancing in double column and is
receiving fresh reinforcements from
each shower of rain, and many cotton
totts will have to meet heavy guano
bill this Fall, a large per cent. OF which
has passed into grass and weeds, which
will rot on The surface and cause many
to pay q heavy doctor bill in the Fall
season. Our farmers need the advice
OF experienced and practical men, and
| know of no one better fitted than
"Critic." He should not become weary
from the fact that he does not see the
good result of his labor at once. Noah
preached one hundred and twenty years
to the antideluvianS and never made a
single convert. Yet he faithfully
warned them Of the troubles ahead.
So our farmers must be continually
warned of the sin and folly Of planting
all cotton. Now is the time for plant
ing peas, transplanting potatoes. Stick
out every nuke and corner with them,
prepare plats of land for turnips, this
crop and in fact all root crops. are too
much neglected by our farmers, they
are very valuable during the winter as
a change of diet for both man and
beast. Sow peas broadcast and turn
under in October and SOW oats and
harrow in. DO this early in October or
September and you will seldom ever
fail to reap Il large yield. The road to
prosperity for our farmers IS very
plain and inviting, if they will act
wisely and promptly. Surely they
will not find it by planting cotton to
the exclusion of other crops. The
village is wrapped in the sweet embrace
of NInrphco,lS and We feel inclined to
ioin them with the lonely notes of the
whiproorwill playing upon the sense Of
hearing. it now low T.. Good night.

has not spent his time idly. Then fol-
lowed history. First class, from colo
NAL times to the history Of the late
war, by Miss Minnie Brady, Miss
Willie and Master Eddie Brady. This
lesson was also perfect except few
dates. Eddie when q little over half
through miscalled date the second
time, when the professor rose and said
Eddie, my son, do not get excited if you
all would miss half dozen of those
dates that would be nothing. They
are hard to remember, for I cannot re-
member the date of the month and the
year l was born unless l refer to the

Dots from Hebron.

I'm subscriber to your valuable
paper, OF which, by perusal, 1 obtain
all of our county news and feel fully
satisfied, that everything 1 read is just
and correct statements of things de-
tailed, but from our little run every
thing is so shallow, uninterested, or
afraid Of doing something wrong or
spelling a word incorrectly that l never
see wortl in print from our little side,
and now Mr.. Editor, 1 will give only a
short sketch at present, but will
lengthen little in my next, which
will be shortly, and let our adjouining
townships know we are still alive, and
doing some pretty fair work in the
great agricultural industry. Up to the
last unusually hard rains our stand of
cotton as general thing was not good,
but soon after when the sun came out
I never did see so much little cotton at
once. AL the crops around me are
tolerably well worked up and looks eX-
ceptionally fine. Mr.. J. d. Livingston,
laid by fine field of corn week before
last. Oat crop almostan entire failure.
What few is are spring oats heading
so low to the ground that it will be a
poor gather. Mr.. Tilly Fogle, of our
vicinity has No. l field Of wheat. D.
n. Carson greatly damaged from the
hard rains. Application was made last
week for Hebron Academy. Our New
Church, New Hebron, which was COM
menced some four years ago, has just
the hull and windows hung up to date.
Our church is in a very cold state, but
we think our pastor DR.. L. S. Bellinger
is just the right man and in the right
place to make the lukewarm arise and
come to sense of duty. Long may
the DR.. live and be in our midst. He
