Shortage In Guano Weights.

A farmer living near Tirzah has
called the attention of this paper
to shortage in the weight of guano
sold by dealers in some towns,
and advises every buyer of fsrtili
zsr to weigh his' own goods.
Competition in some towns has
been so keen that some dealers evi
dsntly have been tempted to name
a lower price per ton on ten sacks
than any competitor could lsgiti>
matsly meet and then make =
handsome profit after all by sell
sacks short in weight. A quantity
of goods delivered in Tirzah last
spring was tested almost by &C
cidsnt-and found to average %
pounds'short to the sack In weight.
This year some have tested goods
from the same place and found an
average shortage of IA pounds to
the sack. k.-Yorkvills Yeoman.

w G A Porter,
To the Farmers of Lancaster
County.

notice that quite 4 good deal
of King cotton is being planted
throughout the county. / would
strongly urge the planters of this
county to discontinue same, from
the fact that it is such poor
staple that mills cannot use it. If
the farmers continue tho planting
of such cotton they will force this
mill and other mills tributary to
Lancaster county that have been
using Lancaster cotton, to got
their cotton from Alabama and
Mississippi, even if at a cost of
1c per pound more. In this way :,
the! will lose the benefit of q
good home market.
l would say for their informa
tion that if they will take the
trouble to inquire they will find
that quite NUN her of mills in
The Piedmont section have been
forced already to get their sup
pty of Gotten from Alabama and
Mississippi, on account of the very
poor staple in = great many sec
tons, from the fact of planting
King cotton, whose staple 10 very
short and weak and cannot be used
in our mills here.
This request is made purely and
simple in tho interest of the farm
ers ana the mills in this section,
who have common interest in
raising such cotton a. will suit
consumption, which means q q, eat

fattering tribute to the paper to re-
ceive the great number that were

them in the shape they were received.
We regret that we were compelled to
shorten them on account of lack of
space. Demands on our columns
have been much larger than usual
and we now have under considera-
ton plan looking to the enlarge
ment of the paper which will enable
us to come more nearly filling the

terest shows the general trend of
public opinion as reflected from the
advance ideas of Harford's excellent
corps of teachers. Our school sys-
tenn is good one and each year
shows progressiveness that has for
its aim the nearest approach of hui
