| L have just returned from a
short stay in tie country and old
home, mother and friends. Well
it was a delightful trip and every
body was pleasant smiles showing
their well pleased prospects for
the coming crop or crops, all in
dicatons pointing to a full crop
yield. Though tho farmers are
needing rain to make the seeds
como up on the red stin land,
cotton ;s looking the best ESQ olG
farmers say for the time of year
1T has for more than ten years past
at the same time. Corn that is up
is looking we'll and in growing
condition. There is more corn
planted this year or season than
has been planted according to the
amount OF acreage since freedom.
| am speaking of the part of the
country lying between Pickons
and SlabtOwn in Anderson county.
Wheat is not as Igood as 1 have
seen tho some fields are better
than others. Wheat land should
bo broken deep, fertilizod we'll,
sowed carly and narrowed good
and smoothe, and then if it does
not get up very high it will have
good head, we'll filled and can bo
saved much better than if it was
just half put in by just sowing
and plowing in one way.
3Oats are a failure, though there
is a good many sowed, caused by
the dry weather and late sowing.

The country people are delight

they get their paper before the

Well, suppose the candidates
and the preachers will have q good
time this summer for 1 think there
is more young chickens and old
hens in the country than I ever
saw before and 1 believe candi-
