Hh. EpIros. The last two weeks Of dry
wssshsr has sivensths farmers s!cha,oe to
bsgip farm work, and . large amount Of
eats hare been sown. Itisto be regretted
thatpo small amount Of oars we're sown last
ealls - he winter has been 50 mild the
fsw That were sown then are looking fns.
! think the farmers had better risk sowing
st least half Of the oat crop in the fall, and
u tAey ehsuld get killed they can sow again
il The spring.
The Farmers Alliance Is creating sope
cpmnetisn in our country, II seems they
sfs seip2 aNppcentrats their purchases and
eniy pafroti3s few Of the merchants with
whom they can make the best terms. This
will certainly bring profits down TO . small
margin. What the result will be, the Tele-
phone 10 net able to oommlnicats at pres
snt The Alliance men say they want NO
guauo ut the advanced rate Of three dollars
per TOM. The guano merchants bai better
lock cut, or somebody might get hurt.
It nay be very well for farmers not to
use any guans, but there is onS thing they
are doing in which / think they make .
grcat mistake, and that is, selling their
cotton seed to the oil mills. It lssks like
there Won't be seed enough left in our coun-
try for planting purposes. think the Al
lance had better take the matter in hand
BY another season aud keep tho seed .,
homo to keep mp their exhausted lands.
They might very well do without guano II
they would put all the cotton seed back on
thslaAd
-As tesiaS Sewn, II Is beautifully oarpsted

Our Livery Stable must be doing . good
business ~ It seems to bs the centre of at.

illness from which she is recovering.
Our cotton market has been quite lively

our town the oths, day to pay off the last OF
