RIOS HILL NOTES.

Our town has been highly fla
yored with religious services dur,
ing the past weeks. The Pastor o.
the Baptist church conducted 8
meeting Of q weeks duration and
much good was done.
In the ensuing week the pastor
of the Presbyterian church, as
sisted by Rev. j. III. Thornwell,
ID. d., conducted n meeting in
that church for nearly u week,
which resulted in great edifcation
and building up of the church.
In the ensuing week the Pastor
of the Methodist church, assisted
by Rev. r. A. Child and G. T..
Hartman conducted q meeting of
several days, which was somewhat
hindered by bad weather, but
good was done and fruit will be
gathered in the days to come.
During the ensuing two weeks
Rev. N. J. Holmes, assisted by
Rev. Harley, of Clinton and an
able corps of laymen and laywo-
men, conducted a meeting which
resulted in much good to all who
attended the services. These
series of meetings have brought
about a great revolution in our
town and community and much
good will be borne to the honor
and glory of the great head of the
church.
The health Of our community is
now good, only a few cases of i'll
ness and those are reported at this
writing as being better.
The change in the location of
the depot and warehouses has
made a vas improvement in the
of our town.
Our farmers are gathering in
the crops and the advance in tGne
price of cotton has put q broad
grin on the face Of the people

Some Seasonable Items.
ONION SETS.

Culture.-Plant the sets four
inches apart in rows about half
an-inch deep and one foot between
the rows, but do not cover the sets
entirely. All varieties can be
set out in the fall as we'll as the
Spring. Fall planting of onions
are succeeding very we'll in the
South, and should be more gene
rally practiced.
We strongly advise our custo-
mers to give more attention to the
planting of onions, as they are
proving a very profitable and sat
isfactory crop both for sale in our
home markets and for shipping.
Onions must be planted on clean,
rich soil for best resultst
Silver Skin.-Excel1ent variety
for family use. Skin and flesh
pure white; mild flavor and globe
shape. The best white onion to
grow largely for sets. Choicest
Easton-grown sets Is cents per
quart. Western grown 10 cents
per quart Quantity prices Oh api
%plication.
Yellow Globe Danvers.---Stand-
ard Variety globe-shaped, large
in size. One of the principal
main crop sorts. Keeps we'll, and
is a most desirable Or table onion.
Price same as tho white.
White Multiplier Sets-1O cents
per quart. Will be higher in
Spring. This is hardy---good
keeper and very prolific.
Blue Stone,
for wheat growers, 10 cents
per pound, three pounds for a
quarter. There is grown annually
in the United States about $50
million bushels of wheat from 40
million acres. The Western ma
lions Of Europe require more than
they can produce and are our best
customers, taking $50 million
bushels. We pay close attention
