We are indebted to our good friend
T. E. Mcconnell, one of Anderson
County's prosperous and energetic
young farmers, for liberal sample of
very fine syrup Of his own production
lin fact, the finest favored home
made syrup we have ever eaten. Last
| epr1ng Mr.. Mcconnell secured one
gallon Of seed, which he planted, and
which despite the unfavorable seasons,
yielded him about ninety gallons of
syrup, three hundred and fifty bundles
or excellent fodder and ten or fifteen
bushels Of seed. Every farmer who
has tasted the syrup wants some of the
seed, and he will supply all who apply
to him. Every farmer should follow
Mr.. McConnelrs example and produc q
at least enough syrup for his own use.

OF the Company was on his best be-
havicr during his stay in Greenville,
and the entire body conducted them
