-"Make hay while the sun
shines,' but don't forget to prepare
for oats and wheat while the rains
are falling. We have yet to hear
of the farmer who has made more
of the commodities referred to
than he knew what to do with.
Remember your land can't be pre-
pared any too we'll or oats sown
too early now. Don't SOW your
wheat later than November if you
can help it. Don't fail to plant
plenty Of oats and wheat.
The people Of the Oolenoy
section are wide awake progress
slve farmers. We assure the above
fact y stating that they are build
ing now houses, every man has q
good crop Of corn and cotton, etc,
and in fact rice is getting to be a
principal p.oduct on the Oolenoy
river. We are glad to hear the
citizens of upper South Carolina
beng SO prosperous. AS to rice, it
can be grown in most all low land

ens County will follow the example
of the Oolenoy farmers as to rails
ing grain.
There is gentleman living in
this town whose wood pile is against
the fence and the corner of his
dwelling and right on the street.
This gentleman is also the possessor
of three no account flee dogs, and he
has patiently and thoroughly trained
the aforesaid pests to sleep on his
wood-pie as q guard and protection.
They are noisy "cusses," and not on
ly keep the neighbors awake for
miles around, but are very trouble
some and annoying to people passing
tho street. People sometimes be-
come tired Of nuisance, and some
fine morning this gentleman will
wake up not only minus his wood
pile, but three flee dogs also. Sentinel
