Lively Kelton,


KELroS. March 5.-Therc is but little
local news here just now. Nobody dead,
nobody sick aud nobody married.
The farmers in this vicinity have come TO
the wise conclusion that there is no money,
for them, in planting all cotton, and are
going to change in that respect.
There have been more cats sowed this
year than ever before in this neghborhood
and the crop looks promising. II that
crop turns out well this year our farmers
will have enough to feed their stock one
year, and then they viii see the profit in
raising food instead of buying it.
think there will be more upland corn
planted around here than for thirty years.
This IS another good move. With oats
for their stock, and corn, wheat and hogs
for their families, the farmers next year
will begin to see daylight through their
debts f; and do believe, Mr.. Editor, the
good, honest farmers intend this year to
get as near out of debt as possible. If they
can't get quite of debt this year, but have
their bread and meat on hand for next
of this years cotton 10 paying their debts,
and next year they will have but little
trouble to pay out. But they can't do it
by loafing around country stores or spend
| ing one-third of his time in dead town.
Why, Mr.. Editor, one-half of our farmers
idle away the very time that they should
be employed in raising their supplies. No.
body else can afford TO be idle from three
o>iour months i'll the year, and the farmers
can't afford it either, and keep out of debt.
The first year that l farmed, loafed about
considerably. planted % acres in cotton
and made bales. then found out that l
could not lose n day from the farm, unnec-
essarily, and pay my debts. There are
ably employed every day in the year on
the farm. If mechanic loses day he
loses dollar or dollar and half, and it
is the same with the farmer, if he's any
| thing of farmer.
Telephone" says truly that VIC Kslton
| farmers have found out that "thcre is
something dead up the branch,' SC. Yes,
VIC did get our bacon from tho fountain
head, and we found it cheap and good, and
we don't intend to drink below any more.
We arc getting our eyes opened at last,
and we expoct in year or two to bo out of
debt and have money TO pay cash for what
we want and can't raise, and to pay the
Preacher, the Doctor and the Editor
promptly, aud have some money left tor
Christmas doings.
Tell Mr.. Vox that my answer to his RAJ,
bit problem is 0 hours. J.G,F.

Vs. We have just received a stock OF
fine stationery and other materials fJr doing
irst-class commercial Job Printing. For
some timo we have not been able to keen o
stock on hand, consequently our work has
often been delayed, and sometimes execut ed
on somewhat inferior paper; but in the
latter particular, it has been equal to any
wc have seen from other offices, at the same
price.
We ask our mercantile friends and others
In the country, to send us their orders and
give their own county printing o oiIce o trial
when they want any printing done. We
will do their work as cheap and as we'll as
1t can be done anywhere else; and having all

defend and promote the welfare of the peo-
pic, assist in building up its towns

will advance the moral, educational and
commercial interests of the county at largo,
without cost, We think VIC have n right 10

satisfaction.
We hope to be more prompt hereafter,

NC had on hand, concluded it was not cd
enough, so he sent the work to another

chagrn, that it was printed on the very
same quality Of paper that he refused to re.

Valuable Corn.

valuable Corn.
Our esteemed friend and tip-top farmer,
Mr.. G. 7. Hollis, of Cross Keys has placed
on our table four worry fine ears of what is
known in that vicinity as the "llollis Vel
low corn" mainly from the fact that it was
successfully cultivated by the grandfather
Of Mr.. Hollis, and has been kept in the
Hollis family ever since and yearly main
tanned its reputation as one of the most pro-
life and hardest species Of corn eve,
planted in that section of the county.
One of the ears on cur table is from the
crop Of 1885, free from the wevil and per
AnothSpd.ip every. respect. -.
scratched from the mud last fall after it had
been buried three days Wy tho frcshet, AND
it is az soun1 rs any corn could be. In
fact, MIR. Hollis has been feeding his horses
and mules on the corn that had been sub
merged three and four days, and the sto ck
is thriving on il, while all the other kinds
Of corn that had been submerged was rotted
and unfit for feeding; showing concln sively
that the "lIolis Yellow Corn" is storm
or freshet corn, and is valuable for planting
on bottom lands subject to overflows.
Mr.. Hollis also claims that with him it ha .
stood drought on tho uplands better an d
longer than any corn he ever planted, and
has made better crops under the same cul-
tivation, soil and seasons
1t Is . hard flipty corn, which may be an
objection to it, to some farmers, but wo
venture to say that if the farmers of this
county who lost their corn upon the creek
and river bottom lands last fall, had q few
hundred bushels Of this sound "bard.
tlinty" corn, instead of the rotten, soft,
ruined corn which the freshet left on their
bottom lands, they would not think their
lot at this time was half as hard as it is now
If what Mr.. Hollis says about his corn is
true-and we believe ho is an honorable
man-we advise all who ints nd to plant corn
on bottom lands this year, to procure seed
from him, and test it themselves 1t nav
say that much of their crop.
