The improvements being made in a city or town have a beneficial effect in other ways besides adding to the taxable value of property, and en riching stock companies. There are many men willing to work if they had something to do, aud who, while idle, neither do themselves or anybody else any good.- All such liave a chance to got employment, and thus benefit themselves and their families, while improvements are go ing on In a city or town. A building go ing up here and there every few days, puts the potto boiling, and puts meat and greens in it to make a patient- wife and hungry children happy. Let the. ball of improvement keep rolling. Doctor Bosworth.—Doctor Bos-, worth opens his office,'this Tuesday morning at the Oconee House—same rooms he usually occupies.

Are you thinking of sowing a patch or field of rye for the calves and milch cows for winter? It would be well to flush the land intended for it as soon now as practicable. If fresh, red clover seed is sown with the rye on good land, a fine early summer past ure can be secured. Brush the seed in very lightly and roll if possible. Tlie Burr clover is a famous plant for winter and early spring pasture. It would be well to start a small space to get in seed of it. The same may be suidof the Texas Blue Grass. Good pasture and meadows are the rock foundation of prosperous farm- ing. S. A. C. Midway, Aug. 12, 1889.
