In soliciting funds for the Cbn
federate Monurtidnt, we feel that
ohr call appeals to every resident
(if Lancaster County, and we need
the aid of every one without exception;
it is impossible, however
to make a personal application to
the people iu every part of the
county. We therefore make this
proposition to the women of the
county, (those living both in
town, and the country,) that every
woman send $ 1.00 to any of the
following persons, who are each
chairman, of their respective committees,
for soliciting subscriptions?the
names of those contributing
will be regularly pub*
lished in the county papers.

"I am goiog to sow plenty of
oats this year," said a successful
Lancaster county farmer the other
day," and 1 um going to sow
them this month and sow then in
the "open lurrow." 1 have tried
that method and 1 tind it the best,
safest method of sowing. I shall

then barrow; then lay off in rows
and plant with a Gantt CDtton
planter. Oats planted that way
are not killed by the cold as with
the old way, and they produce
more.'' Which bears oit the experience
of all who have tried the
"open furrow" plan.
Notice.
Whereas one fourth of ths qualified
voters of Lancaster County
have filed with me, as Supervisor
[)f this County, a petition asking
for a vote on the question of the
removal of all Dispensaries in said
County, now, by authority vested
in me by law, I heieby order an
Blection, to be held in Lancaster
