Tha Captains friends said at the time "he's a good railroad man, but what loss he know about farming." Well, the Captain improved that farm so in two years that it became to be known almost all over :he county and last Spring he waa induced to sell it just about planting time. Well,what did the Japtsin do ? He rented an old "un down farm that had been mating about 300 pounds of seed :ottoa to the acre. la to hia auc:ess in farming the paat year it ia :>e*t told in his own language in the following letter taken from the Glaffney Ledger of a recent date : "I [irepared my land well and lowed 24 acres of it in oats in February, uaing twelve bushels of ;otton seed to the acre as a fertil set. I maris si* hundred dozen bundles of very good oats. Aftsr larvesting my oats I sowed my itubbla in pea* not using any far ilizsr, and I mada 29 tons of as line pea Tina hay as I erer saw. In the first week in May 1 planted 35 acres of this old land in ;orn. J used twenty.fire two*, lorse loads of compost under mv :orn and mada 560 bushels of :ora. Then follow* the cost of proluction of his oat and pea crops, is follows : M bushels seed oats #12 00 100 bushels cotton seed 30 00 Sowisg osts 1 8 90 larve*ling oats 10 50 lauling to barn 2 50 15 bushels of peas 24 10 sowing peas 20 .so 4owisg Tine* 15 20 taking Tines (5 00 Shocking 8 00 )ne thousand stakes 2 00 Hauling to barn 14 00 Total 9103 50 Following is what I received for uiy crop : BOO dozen oats at 15 cents 9 90 00 29 tona hay at $10 290 00 Total #380 00 ZIost of producing 163 50 Balance, profit 9216 50 This shows a clear profit of &216 50 on twenty tour acres of >oor land from the two crops. These sro strictly facts." The editor bought a load of Mr tlyore's p?s vine hay yesterday ind it is certainly fine. The enclose of Mr Moore should convince >ur farmers that there is more noney in these crops than in ruling cotton Priceless Pain * If n prlc* can be pined on pnln, ' Mother*! ?Hepd ' is worth its weight in gold ns nn alleviitoV My wife suffered more in ten minutes with tither of her other two children than she did alogether with her Inst, having previously used our hottlesof ' Mother's Friend.' II is a blessing 0 nn v one expecting to become a mother," says 1 customer. Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist, )f Carmi, 111., to the Bradfteld Regulator Company, of Atlanta, Ga., the proprieors ana manufacturers of " Mother's friend." This successful remedy is not >ne of the many internal medicines advertised to do unreasonable things, but a cientitically prepared liniment especially iffective in adding strength and elasticity ;o those parts of woman's organism wliicn >ear the severest strains of childbirth. The liniment may be used at any and ill times during pregnancy up to the very hour of confinement. The earlier it s begun, and the longer used, the more jerfect will be the result, but it has been ised during the last mouth only with freat lieneftt and success. It not only shortens labor and lessens he pain attending it, but greatly dim inshes the danger to life of both mother tnd child, and leaves the mother in a coalition more tavorable to speedy recovery. *' Mother's Friend " is sold by druggists it $1.00, or sent by express on receipt of >rice.

Peter B Perry, who died las week at his home near Oxford Fla., deserves more than the ven meagre notice seat from that placi to the Snmterville Times. H? was a veteran of the Mexican war as stated, but, more than that, hi claimed to bo and doubtless wa the first man to plant the flag o the United States upon the wall of the City of Mexico. He served in the famous Pal metto regiment of South Carolina his native State, and he wore mi til his death the medal voted hi the l egislature of South Carolini to each of her soldiers for gal lantry in the Mexican war. H< fought in all the battles of tha war from Cherubusco to the ca pituUtion of the city of Mexico Upon the conclusion of tha conflict, he returned to his nativi Stale, whence he emigrated t< I -a I Florida over forty years ago. 11? i settled first in the Micanopy re | gion, afterwards moving to tin j wilderness, 'JO miles south of 0< a la, where lie lived till he died. He was amongst the tirst Flor idians to enlist in the civil war throughout which he served wit! the accustomed gallantry in th( Confederate ranks. Afterwards, i he resumed his duties as a usefu I citizen, devoting himself to farmling and school teaching, lie raided a family of four sons and font 'daughters, all of them married, i p and left a monument to himself ir the upright character which tlie\ exhibit in daily life. For old l'nj cle Peter Perry, a? hi* neighbors , and many friends called him, wai j an upright man. tie wain mem her of the Baptist church; ami. besides being the useful citizer that be was, his kindness us t neighbor and generositv as i friend, won for him the esteem oi j all who knew him. j Uncle Peter was born in Lan caster district, S.
