ers have proven most valuable to the
farmer. The spring soWn crop can not be
relied on but If the fall crop is prepared for
and sown early enough it is almost Ger.

teemed exchanges, and, as it equally ap-
plies to Anderson, we appropriate it as our
sentiments: when any one says there is
q better place, or prettier girls elsewhere,
than in Anderson, every potato slyly
wipks its eye, every cabbage shakes his
head, every beet gets red in the face,
every onion feels stronger, every wheat
ears, and every foot of land denounces the
statement by kicking"
