i. \. Rutherford has recently
sold his farm about five miles from
Walhalla to Will j. Schroeder and r.
r. Alexander. the former having pur-
chased the house and 1911 acres Of
land, the latter II acres of wood
land. Mr.. Rutherford has not de-
cided just what he will do in the
future, but it is probable that he will
buy a smaller farm or possibly nov
to Alabama, where his wife owns a
large and valuable farm. We trust,
however. that our good friends will
decide to remain here. Mr.. Ruther-
ford has just returned from q trip to
Alabama, where he found very much

relief of the people. Crops, he said.
are better than in this section, but
still by no ear up to an average.

Last Saturday S. NJ. Morton, who
is farming on lands belonging to Jas.
II. Darby, below West Union. brought
TO The Courier office a splendid sam
pie Of his cotton, Of which he has 25
acres. The stalk was about II inches
in height, not measuring that part
which had been in the soil, and i.
was well limbed, giving every evil
dence Of a full yield of bolls in time.
Mr, Morton has a fine stand on his
entire % acres, he says, though it is
not all as large as the stalk he
showed us. Some is smaller, some
larger, and what he showed MS was,
he said, a fair average for the entire
crop. He also has 25 acres of fine
corn, now above knee high. and
which SO far has not suffered from
the drought. He has worked this
corr shallow every week during the
dry spell, and he finds that it is pre-
serving the crop remarkably. Mr..
Morton is farming on what is EnOwn
as the Rochester place. lie had
splendid SHOWERS two afternoons last
week.
