The high price of bacon should induce
our farmers to raise their own hogs. Get
pig and try your luck for this year at
Least Plant upland corn and raise your
own feed.
Your attention is called to your sub
scription. L you wish the paper con-
tinued to you now is the time to arrange
the matter. The COURIER don't go where

Mr. Fred. Biemann, of Charleston, is
at home for vacation. He arrived in
Walhalla last Saturday night and will
spend sometime with his mother. Fred.
has developed into large and fine look
ing young man.
Plant a full crop of upland corn, but
be careful not to increase your acreage
in cotton. The price is too low for it to
pay. 1t is a strange and unaccountable
thing, however, that cotton goods should
90 ny when the price of the staple is so
low.
Mr.. Mant McClair is at home for few
days. BE has position on .:e Z. e d.
Road in Atlanta Recently ne met with
painful accident in having his left ankle

hopes soon to be able to lay them aside
and resume his labors on the road.
The cheap style of advertising is to
paste handbin on the farmers wagon
VIXEN he comes to town. Such schemes
do not pay and the farmers should be
protected. The merchant thinks very
little of the man when he makes a bill
board OF his wagon. When the farmer
wants bargains heconsults his newspaper
and not the "Cheap john handbill
pasted on his wagon body.
On last Saturday afternoon fine game
rooster belonging to Mr.. John Lee, of
Walhalla. committed suicide He flew
upon the top of gate in the front yard.
when his feet slipped on the ice and he
fell downwards. his neck passing between
the palings. In this way his head was
caught. and when found his neck was
broken. Hard indeed must be the times
When even the chickens suicide.
Farmers have abundant reasons to be
glad that their acres are snugly mantied
with snow during this zero weather.
Under such protection wheat and grass
flourish. ard the earth itself pulverizes
bettcrin the spring plowing after a good
freeze in the winter. Then. too. all the
army OF insects that hibernate in the
ground ought to be well tmnned out
and every microbe in The country ought
to be dead as a herring. It's very cold
wave that brings no good.
Capt. 5. X. Dendy paid the CouR &E
Office an appreciated call last Saturday
and renewed his subscription for another
year he says the kEowEE COURIER is
the first paper he remembers reading
when small boy: that it is the first
paper he ever took and he has been a
continuous subscriber since. he has
grown up with it in his home and read
Inc it has become kind of second nature.
He cannot get along without it. The
COURIER appreciates such lifelong
friend as Capt. Dendy.
