The long continued drouth has mush delayed the sowing of the oats, clover, grass aud wheat, because of the impos¬ sibility of plowing rue land, and un¬ less there is raiu before very long, the parmer is that this area of thsae crops wid be materially re iuced. When the rains do come, the temptation to sow the seed on land badly and hastily pre pared, will he very great. But we ter the land is prepared, the better it should be done, on account of tho danger to the crop from cold. The thoroughly prepared, well seeded bed, particularly if the land is rolled, stands a much better chance, tuan wii »re the seed is just scratched in ou the surface. Added to which if tne crop on the thoroughly prepared field gets a good start, which it undoubtedly wil . w;:h ordinary seasons, the p auts are vigor¬ ous and strong and bett r able to resist «veil severe cold.

DEPARTMENT e. L. BAG BY, Editor. Mr. Clay Alien, of Savannah, has beeu visiting relatives in this and War¬ ren county recently. Air. Alien was raised in Warren county, but will make liis future Lome in Alabama. A nice sociable party at Mr. W. II. Rugby’s residence on Wednesday even¬ ing of last week. The young people enjoyed themselves finely, so we learn. Mr Will Barnett left last week for Atlanta, where he enters upon his new field of woik. Some of our farmers have beeu hold¬ ing their cotton for 10 cents, but now siuee it has gone down they have the dry grins. Religious services at Salem church last Saturday and Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Moore’s little infant died last week, very suddenly, with croup. It was buried at the Meth¬ odist chuieh cemetery, Itev. Dr. A. 0. Davidson and J. A. Alersbon conduct ing the funeral services, A large number of people were present at tire burial. Our sympathy is extended to the bereaved family. Hauling wood to town has been the order of the day the past week. Coal having gone up our citizens are tiying what virtue there is in good, warm, wood tires, which will convert a good deal of the wood on our farms into con¬ venient pocket change. Airs. A. D. Kendrick, if we are any judge, can boast of the prettiest flowei yard in town and the largest variety of flowers. Mrs- Be sy Moore had a surgical op¬ eration performed on her neck last Saturday. She is not improving much jet. Miss Lena Hackney, from Washing¬ ton, has been spending a few days with Mr. It. N. Gilbert’s family. Air. Edgar McCord and his bride stopped over a few days with Mrs. Amanda Kendrick, on their return from the exposition *Mr! Parks Caifcton, of Union Point, was visiting Mr. A. D. Kendrick’s family this week. Mr. Jessie Brown is still at home, suffering with chill and fever. Uncle Jim Edge was in our town last week, from Warren county, crack¬ ing his jokes and attending to business of all kinds. Air. Joe Ellington has got him a trotting filly now, and can make a mile in two-fifty aud a half. Hurrah for .Joe. Mr. Edward Elliot is still quite sick at his home near Barnett. Airs. Nancy Griffith, who we report¬ ed down with a very bad foot, is up again, and it is thought will soon be all light. Capt. Jim Hubert, of Warren, one of our old school mates, was with us hist week. We were truly glad to see him. lie kindly invited us to come and see him and talk over by-gone days. When we can, we intend to do so. Mr. F/iward Croa'kc got himself cut in his barbed wire fence last Friday. We don’t guess the old gentleman will tackle that fence any more soon. Prof. E. B. Moore's school seems to be in a prosperous condition, having a good many pupils in attendance for the winter season. Kendrick has had some moie improvements made on his place ; n t be wav of a carriage house and a ““» tier, We visited Mr. Thomas Akin last week. Air. Akin is in bad health and has been for some time. He is not a religious man, but always has give liberally . .. to religious and chari a! le purpte- >. We hope he may soon re cover ills usually heabh. lie has beei. a benefactor to several of his people. Mrs. Rebecca Flint, of Jonesboro community is lying very low, p.nd it i not thought she will survive much »ng* r.

It is now in good running or der. millwright Mr. and Golucke always is gives an expended satisfiCtion in his work. Mr. Jessie Mckinney is suffering a great deal at this time with a th’oat disease. We hope it is nothing serious, Mr. P. Maloney and wife, of Pius burg, Pa., lias been on a visit for v oral days with Mr. John O’Keefe. They returned home last Monday Air. George W. Brown was in to feee as this week, paid up his subscript -hi to the county paper, and we had a very interesting conversation with him. Mr. Brown has been in the newspaper business himself some years ago f I« says that every man should take . : ,s county paper. lie complimented s on our management of the Sharon t partment, and said whenever the Ad¬ vocate arrives and he carries it home i the children all say: “Let us see it > we want to hear the Bharou news. Mr. Brown has promised to write ; article on Ibis line, which will appear i« these columns in the near future. Notice Notice is hereby given that diirin the present session of the Gene#: Assembly o' ' p - ^ w.«r will oe «»<»« passage of an a-t the title Of which as follows, to Wit: establish - system > oil j “An Act to a Public Schools lor the town of CrawE fordville, to provide for a Board oil Education, to empower the Mayor and Council of said town to levy leet a lax for the support and lenance t hereof, lo authorize the County gchool Commissioner of Talia ferro County to pay over to said Board oi Education such pan of the ,Stale School Fund as may be the just pro rata shares of said town, aud fqr other purposes.” iBbo. 4ls. Nov. D, There will doubtless bo more rye sown tilts tali than is usual, from the delay in sowing other grain crops. It resists cold more successfully than other graiu crops, and white not so valuable as clover as an improver of the land, it is a very fair substitute, and besides fur nishing green winter food, serves to cover the land and keep it from wash¬ ing. About a bushel aud a hait or two bushels to the acre is about the right quantity to seed. Another winter crop which southern farmers would do weii to experiment with is the winter vetgh. Alajor W arren, of Augusta, who has planted it for several .years, says it has no superior It is hardier than clover, is also a legume, makes good hay, aud bo grazed. Again wo would urge that ali the fall plowing possible be thor oughly and deep y <loue. Even ou the lighter landt except the very «andy, this is beneficial, and on the heavier lands the advantages are iucaloulable. Ir the land is left in loow condition, the effect of the winter wlli be to hasten the «disintegration and decomposition of the veg-table matter, which it may contain. There are also many elements of insect life, which are destroyed, and in very coid seasons, the weed seeds thus exposed are effectually eliminated. Sf? A Strong Fortification.

In my opinion this is a mistake. Oats should, if possible, be planted tii last of Sept miner or tho first part of October, and If put in at, that time with a turn plow on fair land they will not be killed more than one year in five, aud tho total of the four crops that escape the cold will bo much greater than tho total of spring planted crops. If tha orop bs pnt iu at tho right tima, than pat it fn as soon as you eaa, whether it toe in November or Deco tuber, for as most of onr cold comes in January or February, the oats sowed in November or Daoembor will he older and better rooted ami therefore harder to kill than oats sown iu January. Another point iu favor of fall sowing is this: Should tlie first crop bo killed, a second sowing on tint uno land (by of tiro land trains plowed Liorbagnrj'puiveriK -cl hy tho hold, would probably result in a crop ' snffi « 03110 , W lor . tha cost „ of ll0C11 , sowings. Another plan followa-l by Homo good farmers is to put iu, during the fall, half the land they intend to sow, reserving We other half forspr-.ng planting. ... There are some advantages in this plan, but oa the whole, I believe it is best to sow oats in this state about the first of Ootober, ^r as soon thereafter as is practicable. Question 7.—Is there any way to keep weevils oat of corn ? Answer 7—D-triug many years of planting in southwest Georgia the wee¬ vils annually destroyed a large percent the corn crop after it was put in All the various remedies, such as salt water, walnut leaves, leaves of the China tree, Jimo, etc., were triod, ‘Without success. Tho damage was greater some years than others, but blast have averaged quite lf> per cent. ,Sowthat the state, particularly South Georgia, hat house! a splendid corn c rop, it is important to the farmers * k now how to savo it from the ravag tjhe weevil. The bisulphide of oar$ a, properly applied, will destroy all woe yils in the crib after tha corn is housed, «» *«* «»».• ..d««*. o.itil used up. The preventive is simply and easily applied, and is hotter done after the frn j jj t j t y l0 or ip than making different . „ . applications ... after every , few lends. If the crib is a tight one, oue peund of tho bisulphide to every fifty wiu be , nffioiont . If the crib is open as most of our cribs axe—a little more of tho bisulphide will ^ necessary, The method of using the remedy is very simp e, aud merely consists of portring the gabstance nr-r the t' p of the pile of c.ra, wt.u t 1 being heaver that; r tbe grMa, peril, .ting K of corn, and killitig all, cr it the wc'-.v.J- in*'-- T.
