Tho committee retired and, after due deliberations, prepared and re- norted the following resolutions with the request that each member of tho committee friendly to tho cause of demoeraoy sign same: Resolved, 1st, That we, the demo cratic executive committoo of - Ber rien county, assembled in tho inter est of our party, do hereby renew onr expressions of faith in the true dem ocratic doctrine which lias been handed down to us since the limo of Thomas Jefferson, and we hereby plcdgn our BiipjKirt to that doctrine Snow Tobacco Farm. The editor, in company with Mr. E. F. Paschal, went out to the Snow Tobacco Farm Tuesday afternoon to note the progress being made and to witness the transplanting of the to bacco plants with a machine trans planter. Owing to to exceeding dry anil unpropitious weather the progress of transplanting was not as rapid, as Mr. Paschal would like for it to be; every plant has to be watered by hand, notwithstanding the trans planter deposits a pint of water to ?vcry plant About sixteen awes have been planted. One .thing we noted which should bo remembered by tobacco growers is the exceeding careful preparation of the land; the soil is thoroughly pulverized before the transplanting begins. The maohine transplanter does Its work rapidly and muoh better than can he done by hand. It can be used in transplanting any kind of a plant —cabbages, tomatoes, etc. It will have to be seen at w xrk to bo, appre ciated. Altogether, the prospects, is flat tering for a successful crop of tobac co on the Snow tarm. £9 rye, oatk and grass are in an exoep- ics are favprable to her early ttionally fine condition.
