Planting More Grain.

Editor The Advertiser
| have been subscriber to your pa
per for several years and could not
get along without it. In renewing my
subscription, will say keep it com
ing"
The crop of cotton in this commun-
ity. in my estimation, is very short and
Will be about sixty per cent of last
year. Corn is very good The farm
ers have sown more oats and other
small grain than usual and have fine
stands and the crop looks promising
at present
Mr., Houston Babb and Miss Vivian
Owens, of Eden, were married Wednes-
day afternoon, at the home of the
brides parents, with some Of their
very intimate friends and connections
to witness and enjoy the occasion.
Rev. r.. G. Watson, of Simpsonville,
offciated. The groo mis- nice young
man, a graduate of Furman university.
The bride is the youngest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. ID. Owings and a grad
uate of Greenvile Female College The
many friends, the writer included, wish
they a happy start in welded life
The farmers all seem to have move
on them, though the most of the fleecy
staple is gathered Some of our farm
ers are complaining of times to be
hard another year. They should not
try to cross the bridge before getting
to 1t. There always has been way
where there is will in any vocation
Of life. 1t takes man with energy
and get-up about him to accumulate a
fortune or a living either in these
days of up-to-date fashions and fast
living. We must get out OF the old
ruts and make new ones. Methinks
these are good times and better COM
ing. So look forward and not back
ward is the motto. We have fine
country In which we live and 1t Is go
ing to be Just what we make out Of it..
We should feel proud of our mother
state, our county seat and our nice
churches and schoo! buildings all ov-
er the country, with all the needful in
dustries which the people OF the whole
need. We should give praise instead
OF crying out hard times.

LAND SALES MONDAY
LARGELY ATTENDED
Fair Prices Brought by Farming
Lands, Despite the Short Crop this


Year.
Monday was salesday and a large
crowd was in town to attend the sales
and to do shopping. On account of
the large number OF. sales to be made,
an unusually large crowd was pres
ent. Well informed and conservative
men agree that the lands brought fair
prices, considering the snort crop and
consequent scarcity Of money this
year, but those who were in a posi-
tion to buy will doubtless realize
handsome profits in very short time.
The largest sale made was that of
295 acres, belonging to the estate of
the late Mrs. Ta!u!ah Irby Jones. The
property was sold as q whole to Mr..
t. ID. Darlington at $11,6OO. This is
considered a fair price for the prop
erty, though more prosperous times
would probably have seen larger
price.
In settling up the estate of the late
Jas. Wham, the home place, contain
ing 1874 acres. was bought by Mr.. Geo.
Wham for $47O0.
The Putnam property, containing
80 acres and located in Dials township.
was bought by w. A. Putnam for
SLIPS.
The Bolt property, belonging to the
estate OF A. b. Bolt and located near
Hickory Tavern, was bought by w. S.
Bolt for $1,050.
In the case of j. NJ. Pitts VS. Geo. A.
Browning, involving a half interest in
house and lot at Goldville, j. NJ.
Pitts bought in the property for $4OO.
In the case of c. H. Duckett VS. Paul
III. Glenn, house and lot near Watts
Mills was bought by C. II. Duckett
for $4,000.
The sale of the F. A. Sullivan land
OF 511 acres was called off.

TROLLEY TO CLINTON.

Writing in Our Monthly. DR.. w.
p. Jacobs wrote as follows last week:
Our Clinton young men seem to be
very active in their proposed plan for
Clinton county. They are going
right ahead and they mean business. 1t
is planed to take into the new county
such good towns as Carlisle. Mount
Vile, Whitmire. Goldville. Kinards. OF
course there will be strong opposi-
tion, but there are many good reasons
FOR making the effort. If the new
county scheme fairs then nothing re-
mains but TO annex Laurens and the
seven intervening square miles; build
ing a trolley from the courthouse to
the Clinton Union Station, and build
ing up all the intervening space with
beautiful and handsome little city,
with parks, colleges pleasure grounds
monumental squares and we can uti-
lize the present court house as far as
practicable.
DR.. Jacobs is one of those broad
minded men who is ambitious for
both Clinton and Laurens. While GER
tainly he is anxious to see Clinton
grow and prosper, he has just as much
feeling for his friends and neighbors
in Laurens. DR.. Jucobs would not
lift finger against the new county
movement, though he has a kindly feel
ing towards Laurens that does not
come out at this time when an express
sion or it might be taken as opposition
tc the new county movement. But Dr.
Jacobs draws a pretty vision OF the
two cities, with fourishing country
between them. united by a trolley
fine. This should be no dream. and
certainly Is practicable for we all rec
ognize in DR.. Jacobs practical
man. Though we do not ReiIaye that
this new county movement will prove
successful. we do second the repeated
suggestions from "our Monthly" that
a trolley Tine be built between the two
cities. While 1t would prove great
convenience to.the people both in Clin-
ton and Laurens developing at the
same time the interlying territory, 1t
would doubtless create between the
two cities spirit of commercial rival
ry, beneficial to both.

From all accounts Greenville must
have had fair something like ours,
one that will be productive of real
good.

that cotton suits made from cloth man

A mighty convincing article on the
wisdom Of sowing oats is found in an

like for every one of our farmer

1t is said that, because of the re-
duction in size of the new govern
