Cotton planting will be the order of
the day here this week, and there are
hardly enough seed in the country to
plant the crop, eyen at $1.25 per hun
dred, Isn’t it strange that a man will
sell his select seed for 65 cents per hun
dred and then give $1.25 per hundred
for any kind of seed at ;planting time?
We should first select all kind of seed
out of our crop for the next one. We
did not do this ourself the last season,
on occount ot having to move 35 miles,
but for the first time in 25 years.

we can, and especially the candidates
who are not already subscribers.

Dorsey’s a hawk killed by Charley

potato to Mr Darsey, one of our great
truck farmers, being vineless, but- he

cows and hogs as the roots to eat.
Next Sunday will be preaching day

Head is expected to be on hand. Bring
out all the song books.

peach crop of 1904 is still with us. The
