The labor question is one of great moment just now, and the course to be pursued is hard to determine. It is an utter imposibility to cultivate the lands now open to any advantage. In the first place, the labor is not equal to the emergency and in the next place, about fifty per cent of the land now in cultivation does not pay expenses, together with the in come from the other fifty per cent.— Now, as retrenchment is the order of the times. Suppose the farmers of this once grand old agricultural coun ty, change their tactics and try for a season intensive farming. Plant fifty per cent, less, prepare, manure and work one hundred per cent, better and see what the result will be the first year and if satisfactory results are obtained, then reduce the acreage again in the same proportion and in crease the amount of manure, more thoroughly prepare, work the crop I faster, which you will be enabled to do, and the results will be even better and when you bring your lands up to t the point where one acre will yield as much as four acres under the old ' system (extensive), then and not till then will prosperity with her benign influence begin to smile upon us. i Wiien you have from practical expe- ' rience demonstrated the fact that more money can be realized from one acre well tilled than from four or five in the usual “slip shod” way, you will as sensible farmers abandon the old and embrace the new. This, course strictly followed by all our' j farmers will have a very happy effect upon labor, giving employment only to those that will do their duty. To follow up this line would revolution ize things generally and in a few years it will be, who will I take, not who can I get. When the product of the average hundred acres the coun | try over can be obtainted from twen I ty-tive acres the question of labor is 1 settled. We would like to hear from > some of our farmers on this line. . -*» - HAPPY MARRIAGE of two of Columbia’s fair DAUGHTERS. The residence of Captain and Mrs. W. L. Benton was the scene of a hap py marriage on Wednesday of last week. The contracting parties were Miss Mattie Benton and Rev. Mr. Griner, of the South Georgia Confer ence. The family and a few friends witnessed the ceremony which was performed by Rev. E. P. Bonner in a happy and most impressive manner. The groom was indeed fortunate in winning the hand of one of the fair est of Columbia's fair daughters. The Sentinel extends congratulations and best wishes for a long and prosper ous life. On the same day, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Win. Cliatt, a number of relatives and friends witnessed the marriage of Mr. Robt. Glisson and Miss Lizzie Cliatt. The cennony was performed by our senior editor. We tender congratulations with the hope that their lives may be one of perpetual sunshine. LAST ROUND- OUR TAX COLLECTOR AND THE JUNIOR EDITOR PERAMBULATING LN SEARCH OF FUNDS. The writer in company with our efficient Tax Collector spent last Thursday at Luke’s store. We took dinner with friend I. M. Miles, whose hospitality is unbounded, aim at long intervals continued to receive and re ceipt for taxes for the year 188(>. At 3:30 we left for Dunn's Chapel via Thos. A. Blanchard’s, where we called a halt and spent the night very pleasantly. After a pleasant, social evening, interspersed with charming music by Mr. Blancluud and his neice, Miss Bessie Norman, an ac complished young lady and well known in Harlem, we retired to dream of tax collecting, sweet strains of soothing music (violin accompani ment) but not so, as usual, disap pointment came. There was nothing elisium about it. Reader, imagine a man about 5 feet 8, weighing some thing less than a thousand, with a fc vrful cold, lying Hat of his back, fast asleep. Your first impulse would Le to exclaim, of course he did not snore, but he did, consequent/ n> time for dreaming. At an early hour wo were at as is usual a well regulated farm house, and after a sumptuous breakfast (the product of the farm, with the ex ception of sugar and coffee) we left 1 for the “Chappel” where wo met ' quite a few of the citizens of that portion of the “Republic of Colum bia.” At 12:30 sharp we began to retrace our steps and by invitation stopped at Mr. B’e and took dinner. The distance to Harlem made it necessary to say good-bye at an early hour, though with regrets, however, and soon we were en-route for home, if not happier, wiser men, and fully persuaded of the scarcity of money in the county. Cotton nearly all gathered, and in many places the land being seeded to grain. The writer was on a two-fold trip, first and foremost, of course, was to assist my friend in the collection of taxes, secondly to solicit new sub- tTerms, SICA Year In Advance scriptions and collect old ones for the county paper, and oue of the eviden* ces of the scarcity of money, and to bear* us up in the statement, is the fact that collections amounted to $2.00 Ja. OUR NEIGHBORS* GLEANINGS FROM EXCHANGES |Jt OUR SISTER COUNTIES. LINCOLN Lincolnton News: The editor of th* News is under lasting obligations to Rem Crawford for introducing a cer tain patent medicine in our midst. If Rem ever does need a friend he can roly on us. “May Isis and Osina guard him.” Mrs. Robert Blanchard has moved back to the village. Every house in town is now occupied and soon the sound of the ax and hammer will signal the going up of several Dew residences, Lincolnton is getting astride a big old boom. WILKES. Washington Gazette: One of our most popular young planters will soon form un alliance for life with a Colum bia county young lady. Mr. Olis 1 larnesberger sold a hun dred bushels of home made corn in the ear to Me.-srs. Maguire <St Dillard on Monday. There are four government pen sioners in this county. Three are widows of soldiers of the war of 1812 and draw twelve dollars each per month. Mr. W. W. Simpson informa ua that on Tuesday he and Mr. J. W Callaway were out fishing when the latter caught two suckers at one pulL They were good size fish each measur ing twelve or thirteen inches. A few evenings ago some of the boys bet Mat Talbot that he couldn’t put his heels under the side of a hori zontal barrel and ki-:k it up as high as the top of the counter. He took banter and the floor took him at full length before he got through strug gling with the barrel. MANCOCK. Sparta Ishmaulito: Frank White made six heavy bales of cotton on the 5-acre patches about his house. Boll worms and dry weather cut short the yield. "That programme,” (the bill of fare) got Wolf Silver into trouble at the Kimball House. The boys say he ordered mushroom on possum, and his breakfast cost him $1.50. Wolf is nothing if not tony in his eating. John Pinkston found a wild man in an iron cage at the Kimball House in Atlanta, but when he saw his mistake he took a ride with the wild fellow up to the top of the building and back again. When he landed he exclaim* ed: “I golly boys, don’t that bolivator fly?” GLASCOCK. Gibson Enterprise: On Wednesday Dr. Lawrence Kelley and family who. have spent several weeks visiting re latives in our town and at other places, left for their home in Windsor, Fla., The Dr. was formerly a citizen of this place, and has many friends here who were pleased to see him and glad to learn that he is prospering in the “land of flowers.” Professor Ware, of Gibson, came down on the passenger on Saturday morning, and the writer had the privilege of currying him out to Stellaville. The Professor went to Stellaville prospecting for a school. It was the first time I ever had the pleasure of meeting Prof. Ware, and I formed a very high opinion of him. I took him to be a nice, Christian gentleman. I would be glad if he could get the school. He went to Augusta on Sunday to attend iu the Medical College. VOL V, NO. O
