= DR.. ". 0. 3fcDowell is having many
and beautiful improvements on his house
and yard. Fe is building a handsome
wall around he yard, has laid off his
large from. yard beautifully and has
llantc1 many pretty flowers, making it
one o the haajsomest places in the town.
Besides. he is having his house repainted.
1t all makes a fine Improvement.
We will give the DEMOCRAT and a
copy OF Capt Pcterkin's book, ''TalNs
with the Cotton Farmer" for $40 a
year. The book contains about 40 pages
and the reading matter in it is instructive
to any farmer.
BY subscribing to the DEMOCRAT now
while we have them on hand you can
get the book free. Or, If yea prefer, we
will sell you the book for 80 cents.
It takes less work to write a column
than it does to fill a column with shsrt
clippings judlciously selected, but we are
willing to do the harder work of clipping
some when we can lind something worth
more than we could write. An exchange
says:
The power of a newspaper. even
single handed to bull up town is very
! great; but when 1T is aided by the active,
constant and genel Gus support of the
/ people of its community Its powers of &C
compliShment are neStImable."
One of the most estimable ladies IN the
county said to us last week that we
would have to send two copies of tie
DEMOCRAT to her house. She said there
was some contention on the arrival of the
mail as to who should read the DEMO
Graf first. We made our best bow for
the compliment: and we say now that we
will send to all such families two copies
of the DEMOCRAT and charge only halt
price for copy number tive.

seven dozen packages Of improved cotton
seed. We have been careful to distribute
them among the best farmers of the com

cultivated. The Senator is clever II
many ways, and his friends IN this sec
ton appreciate his kindness in supplying
many of them with the very seeds they
desired.
