Mr.. P. L. Slater, of the Five Forks Sec
ton, has two and one-half acres or very
fine cotton, judging from the sample
stalks. These stalks are ten inches high,
and are full of squares. Mr.. j. N. Ers-
kline, on the same plantation, has ten
acres nearly as good as Mr.. Slater's. We
hope these gentlemen will harvesta big
crop.
Our Neva correspondent chronicles the
death of Mr.. Robert Breckenridge, who is
well known throughout this County.
Forty or fifty years ago, we are told, he

His many old friends will regret to hear of

An exchange gives the following receipt
(Which Is of local interest) for making
straw. hats white when they have become
dark. Take FIVE cents worth Of oxalic acid
and put It in half pint Of warm water
until it dissolyes. Then take sponge
and apply it to the hat until it becomes
bleached. It is best to wash. the hat first
in warm water.
A prominent farmer remarked in our
hearing last Saturday that he believed
there were more than three thousand
bales of cotton still in the hands of the
farmers OF Anderson County. Another
gentleman standing near by was Of the
same opinion, aud named five farmers
whom he knew had about four hundred
bales yet to place on the market.
We are indebted to Mr.. D. 81 Hammond
for bucket Of as nice honey as ever graced
the table of king. Such treats are appre.
ciated and We return sincere thanks. Hon
ey is long ways ahead of cotton stalks
and blooms, but we receive more Of the
last than Of the former. Mr.. Hammond
has3orty or fifty hives, devotes some time
and attention to them, and consequently
has honey the year round.
''Citizen" Josh. Ashley was in the city a
few days ago, and reports very good crop
prospects in his section. He says he is
not planting large cotton crop this sea-
son as usual, but is determined to make
his own supplies, and enough corn to do
him. He says he is advising The farmers
to have little sub-treasury Of their own
at home and to stop talking about third
party and other such foolishness.
