With this issue of the Flag, commen-
ces Vol. 10, of its existence; quite an
aged paper Under the new manage
ment for the last 10 months, 1t has
been the earnest effort of all connected
with the paper, from the Editor in
chief, to the devil, to do those things
that they thought for the best interest
of its patrons, and we hope that in
most households, and by the fresides
ofits readers, il has had a degree ofwel-
come, and been the instrument ofsome
seasons of pleasure.-Valley Flag.

ing decided to establish cotton pick

Vaudry as manager. They win buy
cotton samples and assort and re-pack
mixed and damaged cotton. Mr.. Vau-
dry is a fine classificr and well quail
fed for tho work. There are several
pickeries in New Orleans and other
cotton centers, and we see no reason
why il would not be good thing
here. We wish Mr.. Phipps abundant

An inspection of the public ginnery
recently built and put in operation by
Messrs. Cortright Il Roberts, eonvinces
the writer that it is one of the most
complete in the State.
The owners of this new enterprise
are SO well pleased with their invest
ment that it is their intention to add
" shingle making machine and grist-
mill at an early day, and later on a
saw mill. This will give employment
to twelve or fifteen hands all the year,
and is probably the beginning of what
may terminate in the erection of an oil
mil here, which would be worth thous-
ands of dollars to our town annually.

The old system of drying the life
out of hay is being changed for the
better. Hay is now more largely than
ever cured with as little sun as possible,
avoiding dews as well. Dew Injuries the
hay as much as the sun. The best
manner of curing hay is to put it up in
small shocks as soon as thoroughly
wilted. These shocks, after standing a
certain length of time, are thrown, sew
eral of them. into one, and here they
remain for n considerable length of
time, and the rains will not injure them
much if they are properly constructed.
This kind of hay retains green color
and is much better feed than the sun
dried article.-Southcrn Live Stock
