Rogers, who will, foi the present, make her home in Glennville with her .uncle and aunt After seeing what fine alfalfa Im Dr. W. D.'Ouzts has grown this year, we wonder more than evei why farmers buy inferior western hay instead of growing their stock feed at home. Dr. Ouzts also has foTlder and pea vane hay two years old in his barn.* There is no good reason why every farmer in thc county can not do likewise.

All persons in the incor porate limits will please take due notice. J. T. Pattison, Chairman Board Health. "Hay Make? The Mare Go." Don't neglect your, hay crop. Our good friend. Dr. W. D. Ouzts, says the interest that is being taken in the The Chronicle's cotton contest and The Advertiser's corn contest is go ing to cause people to forget their hay. This must not be. Peas are cheaper this year than for several years, so let a larger acreage be sown throughout the county. You. need cotton to help pay your debts and you need corn to help keep out of debt, but do not forget that hay is an indispensable factor in 'mak ing the mare go." Competitive Drill. A prominent feature of the com mencement will be the competitive drills to be held on the public square.Fri day afternoon at six o'clock the I dividual drill in the manual of arms will be held,.and Saturday morning at 10 o'clock vthe compa ny drill will be held. The S. C. C. I. cadets have been well train ed and always present a creditable appear ance. They have been practicing some time for this annual con test, everyone expect ing, of course, to win. The contest Friday afternoon particular ly will be very interesting and ex citing. Everybody should turnout to witn?ss both contests. The Editor's Compensation. The man who edits the average country newspaper cannot well avoid treading on somebody's toes contin ually; must expect to be censured often for unintentional failures; must expect hard work and little thanks; must expect to be called a coward because he'does Dot "pitch into" everything that somebody thinks is wrong and a fool if he speaks out too plainly on public evils. He| must expect to grind other people's axes and turn the grindstone him-1 self. Still, we think it is one of the noblest professions on earth, the one in which the earnest man can do the most good to his fellow man and in which an honorable man can wield much power for good.-Arcanum (O.) Times. The Williams' Plan. In driving over the country it is easily perceptible that farmers have in recent years adopted many new methods in planting and cultivating their fields, but there is yet one thing that is not generally practiced, and that is regular and systematic rota tion of crops. It is impossible to restore humus and vegetable matter to impoverished soil without rota tion. Commercial fertilizers feed the growing crops but do not in crease the fertility of the soil from year to year. We would like to see more farmers adopt Mr. S. T. Wil liams' system of rotation. He sows every fall the land that was planted in cotton and corn duringThat year. Several persons have told ps that Mr. Williams has the fliest oats they have seen-not a few patches but large fieldfi.

Newspaper men, as a rule, have but two things to. sell-space and subscription-and it would be just as consistent to ask your grocer foi a dozen oranges "just to fill up" as ask the editor for a dozen lines in his paper just to boost your business with the idea you are doing him a kindness in helping to "fill up" space. Try getting a free dinner at the ho tel just to make a show of business for the house.-Rushsylvania .(().) Record. Horse-Shoeing.
