Plant More Peas.

Plant More Peas.
1t is serious question now with
most of our farmers, since losing
their corn cror, as to what they are
to feed their stock NJ An during the
coming winter. It is too late to
plant corn with any degree of GER
tainty that it will mature before the
frost comes, hence the pea crop
comes up in place of corn. Peas
sown during the latter part of July
have been known to return q full
crop to the planter. To plant the
seed and cut the vines as soon as
they are full of peas, curing them
for hay, will come nearer supplying
the place Of the lost corn crop as q
stock food than nyfhing else We can
plant at this time, and the cost of

A few of our farmers who had their

What can be done to improve
our farming interests, is question
which Immediately concerns all
classes inasmuch as the property OF
the country as whole is dependent
upon the success OF the farmers. A
succession Of good crops brings
general prosperity, while success
sion Of failures in crops produces
depression and general stagnation
in business affairs. This being the
case how important it is to foster
this great industry in every pos
sible way. Much might be done by
wise legislation to relieve the bur
dens of the farming class, but now
a-days Legislation seems to be rather
in the interest Of money kings and
mOnOpolies. Instead of waiting,
Micawber like, for something to
turn up, cannot the farmers 60 to
work and turn something? How
many communities In Moore county
can boast of Farmers. Club, hav-
ing stated meetings for the discus
sion of methods in preparation of
soil, application Of fertilizers, modes
of culture, &c? How many of our
farmers are regular subscribers to a
first-class agricultural journal? A
little money judiciously applied in
such literature would repay the
farmers hundred fold. What are
the farmers of Moore county doing
to foster a bond of union and sym
pathy between the members of their
craft? If you cannot have a coun-
ty organization (it' not, why not p
you can form clubs by townships or
neighborhoods and have stated
meetings for the interchange of
your views and experiences tell of
your successes and failures, and thus
create a mutual bond of sympathy.
The friction Of mind will have a
sharpening effect, and you will soon
find you energies aroused and your
spirit quickened to higher and
nobler aspirations-Moore Gazette
A SAFE RULE-Never suspect a
friend of doing you a wrong until
the truth of it is as plain and as
clear as the sun at noon on a cloud
less day, and then, yes even then,
do not accuse or censure until you
have heard from his own lips his
version and explanation of the sup
posed wrong. If you were ever a
friend to him he is certainly enti-
tied to that much forbearal c. and
consideration. If this rule were
practiced, many misunderstand-
ing would be averted, and many a

A Clock in Her Bustlc.

Gath: Down at the custom house
the other day | heard n singular story
about women's bustlcs. 1t seems that
he latest French novelty in n hustle is
n skeleton of steel wires, the hollow
space within which is partioned off and
made TO serve as Il hand satchcl to
carry n powder puff. comb. brush and
other toilet articles. A laughabie oc-
currence with one of these bustles. in
which a was detected in at
tempting TO Smuggle, took place N a
q steamship wharf a few days ago. She
was asked If she had anything about
her person that was dutiahle. She re-
piled. mo and at the same time gave
herself a vigorous shake "a il to EN-
phasize her denial. The shaking was
followed by six clear strokes of a bell.
The custom officer ut first thought that
some one was ringing a chestnut bell
on the ma as the answer she gave
WAS pretty old, but IN examination by
a woman search-r proved that she had
in her new French hustle n small but
costly clock, which had been started by
her activity, and had merely struck
the hour.
