From the best information obtaina-
BILE the planters in this section are
nearer up in the preparation of their
lands for the crops to be planted this
year, than they were at correspond
ing date last year. From what can
be learned are not increasing their
cotton area over last year, but their
use of guanos will be considerably
increased as they ore using more than
usual under their corn.
A word as to Rural Mail Carriers.
The writer knows more as to their USE
fulness to the general public than he
does as to others, but he believes them
all to have been of lncalculable benefit
to the rural districts. Congress has
passed the bill giving them an
increase of salary, but in the opin-
ion of the writer the restriction should
have been left out of the bill. The re-
striction mentioned is that the carriers
will not be allowed to lake subscrip.
tions for newspapers, carry parcels, &C.
