Yield Of Cotton and Corn Larger
Than Was Expected. Prizes
Stimulate the Sowing of
Wheat and Oats.

Stimulate the Sowing of
Wheat and Oats.
The weather looks threatening
this, Monday morning, but why
should we complain after two weeks
of beautiful sunshine, and as
the old adage says, farmers have
been busy making hay while the
sun was shining.
Cotton is opening fast and labor
has been sufficient to keep up with
it. Very little is being held for high
er prices, as present prices are con-
sidered fairly good. We consider
our crop about two-thirds gathered
and most every farmer will make
more than was expected sometime
ago.
The yield of corn alsS is much
larger than last year. We observe
many fine hogs to be fattened for
pork this fall. Why should not our
farmers wear broad smiles and feel
happy for the many blessings of
God during the past year,.
A large crop of grain will be sown,
possibly more wheat than for a num-
ber of years. A liberal amount of
fertilizer will be used, especial
ly on pet" acres stimulated, largely
by the liberal prizes offered by The
Advertiser.
Our pastor, Rev. J. T. Littlejohn,
preached splendid sermon to a
large and attentive congregation last
Sunday morning, using as the basis
of his remarks, Matthew, twenty
second chapter and twelfth verse.
He emphasized that clean heart and
pure life was necessary before we
could be guest of our Lord and King.
After the sermon the church was
called into conference and Mrs. r.
NJ. Winn united with the church by
letter, and an organization was also
perfected, known as the Rehoboth
Cemetery Association. The follow
ing officers were elected for the en-
suing year, Miss Carrie Burkhalter,
