We need elevated roada juet now ? something shore the mud* Farmers who hauled their corn last fall know not how to sympathize with .hair las* fortunate neighbors who 'iave to do their bawling now, on iwr miserable roada. Hauling western corn now it miserable, hut misery lores company ? so miserable roads are not so had after ill. Only one car of corn has been shipped here, hut others are to follow. What a comment on this lino corn .country ! If prop but 11 mvjh^oba ? \ ri limn Ejgypi. Our farmers will hardly use aa much commercial fertilizers this apiing as last. Some of them are trying to make all ef the homemade fertilizers possible, while others aro content to make enough for their gardeus and potato patches. These will have to retire eventually and give place to their more thrifty neighbor, as a neglect of this important farm work is a Htire stepping stone to poverty ami bankruptcy. No farmer can prosper by workieg six amnthn and playing six. Small grain is doing fairly wol and many regret ytheydid not sow more last fall. If seasons ar< favorable for sowing spring oats, there will be a good deal of thii important forage and grain croj planted. The cotton average will he ah Hit thr?:mie as last year. Tin scarcity of labor will prevent ar increase. A pood many of th( Waxhtw farm laborers hare pom to the railroads aad other public works. Last n-crek there was a difficulty on Mr. Fj H Mobley's place he tween Hush wassey aad Elliot Dunham two colored hoys, which cume near beinp a serious affair.
