The best time to thin either peaches
or apples is when they range about the
size of hickory nut. 1t will be impos-
sible to get ali of the thinning done
when the fruit is just this size. but the
nearer one can come to doing it the bet

1t is we'll for both gardener and
farmer to remember that cultivation is
primarily for the purpose of stirring
the soil to insure proper circulation of
air and moisture and secondarily for
the destruction of weeds. The one

just because there are no weeds.

ONE EVIL OF HIGH PRICED
LAND.

Farmers boys do not see their
way clear to buy land at 500
an acre. They are doubtful
about being able to keep inter
est and taxes paid on land at
this price, even though they
could pay half the amount at
once. The very prosperity which
has overtaken this generation of
farmers and landowners has dis
couraged the oncoming genera
ton, and the result is more land
ownership by nOnfarmers, more
farm tenants and fewer people
on the land.-COuntry Gentle

There is no kind of garden flower
that is harder or easier to raise than
the violet. 1t has few pests and

care for them.

1t may be a homely notion. but the

He paid q glowing tribute to
Gen. Jackson as the ideal man

He pictured the horrors and
suffering, and carnage resulting
from war, and plead for the es-
tablishment Of a tribunal which
would settle all national and in
ternational disputes without re-
sort to arms.
at the conclusion of the adj
dress the people led by the
school children bearing arms
full Of flowers marched to the

A Protracted Meeting.

A meeting beginning June
9Th and continuing a week or
ten days has been planned to be

In this meeting the cOngrega
tions of the three churches will

the singing for it is hoped that

An Enemy Did This.

Last Wednesday night some
person or persons bent upon
mischief deliberately and with
premeditation slaughtered a
number of dogs for various citi-
zens of the town by poisoning
them. DR.. Porter, G.. l.. Cure
ton, B. e. Parsons each lost one
and there were others. 1t was
a novel sight Thursday morn
ing to see the city garbage wag-
on with a load Of dead dogs
carrying them to their last rest
ing places. The person or per
sons who did this was an enemy
to the dogs and an enemy to ed
ucation. 1t deprived the school
of So. 90 at least in taxes.

Injured I'm A Runaway

Last Thursday afternoon Mrs.
William Stoll and Miss Daisy
Mcdonald were out driving
wnen the horse took fright or
from sheer meaness ran away.
Miss Mcdonald jumped and
sustained some slight bruises.
Mrs. Stoll held on to the lines
for awhile but was soon after
picked up OH the side of the
road in an unconcious condition.
It is not known whether she at
tempted to jump or was thrown
violently out, but she was pain
fully and seriously hurt. Tt
was thought at first that she
had been killed or was SO severe
ly injured that she could not re-
cover, but we are glad to state
she is rapidly improving. The
accident occurred near Mr.. w.
w. McWhorter's and caused
considerable excitement and un-
easiness in town.

This is a splendid corn county.
What Jerre Moore did in Marie

plenty Of acres in this county
which cab be made to produce
220 bushels.
We are further informed by
this Corn Number that during
the last three years corn has in.
creased 2O8,O0O acres, the pro-
duction has increased 2,69S, 900
bushels. and the price has in

It Pays to Advertise.

AS an evidence that it pays
to advertise attention is called
to the award Of the articles Of
fered to the highest bidders by
Hammond Brown Wall Co.. of
Easley, in an advertisement
which this firm has been run
ming in The Sentinel for about
two months. If you will refer
to last weeks or any previous
issue of this paper within the
last two months you will notice
that this firm offered a piano,
an organ, a sewing machine, a
steel range and a victor talking
machine to the one making the
highest bid on or before IL
|o'clock May 10Th. The only
condition was that the bids
should be written, sealed and
marked and addressed to them,
and these would be opened by a
disinterested committee after
the above date and the awards
made to the ones making the
highest bid, who was obligated
to take the article bid on and
pay for same.
The time was up last Satur-
day and on Monday the COM
mittee met, opened the bids and
made the awards, as follows.
The highest bidder for the
piano was Fl. j. Waff, Athens,
Ga. For the organ. l.. "A.
Perry, Easley. For the sewing
machine, Leroy Winchester,
Twin Bridges, Montana. For
the steel range, j. NJ. Robinson,
Columbia, S. G. For the Victor
talking machine, l.. II. Pratt,
Twin Bridges, Montana.
This is the most convincing
proof that it pays to advertise
and especially in The Sentinel,
1t is seen from this that people
in Pickens County. in South
Cal alolina, in Georgia and in far
Montana read The Sentinel and
read the advertisements in it.
1t is the best advertising medium
in the County and it's readers
are not limited to this county
but are to be found in almost
every county in this State and
in>almost every State.
Everyone who has ANYTHING
for sale or exchange could not
find a better way of disposing
Of it than by the iudicious use
of a little printers ink through
the columns of The Sentinel. It
will pay you. Try it.
