They returned by way of Keutucky where they will speud several"days with Mrs. Lan ham's relatives. For ten years Mr. Lanham has been actively engaged in Chris tian work among young men.

Af ter laboring very successfully in that county he was called to Harrodsburg, Kv., where he did au excellent work. While Rev. John Lakes is 'ook ed upon as the founder of the county Y. M. C.

Augusta, ua. Raising Colts. Sino our farmers have learned how to raise 30 to 75 bushels of corn on an acre of thin upland, they should turn their atteution to raising colts. Several have ap peared on our streets this summer and it is said that there are more colts in Cherokee than usual. There have never been better all purpose horses in this county than the home-raised. Fine, large mules can be raised here, but it cannot be done on western corn and grassless pastures. Let the far mers secure strong active mares and go to raising colts. It will be a j profitable way Jto dispose of their surplus corn. A ftvo-borse farmer with a few acres of Ber muda pasture and plenty of corn and oats can briug'a mule colt up to thirty months for less than $60.00. At present prices the mule as BOGG as he is broken would be worth $150 to $200 to size and style, 'By all means let cur far mers turn their atteution to rais ing colts.-Carolina Spartan.
