sustained by such fallacious argu-
ments will not commend itself to the

There is not much news in these
dlgglns this week. The people
were so busy in their farms, that
they had no time to ask, what is
the news, Plows were running in
every direction, a sight that has
not been seen at one time since
Christmas. The farmers should
be very careful and not rush their
crops into the ground without
preparing the land. Corn plant
ed three weeks later, in prepared
soil, will make better corn than if
hastily planted in unprepared
soil.
