of the objeel | ropoeed, and to invite
eo-operation. It is uaneoeaeary to speak
of the need, or of the Tain.* to the State of
such provision in aid of tho oducation of
wemen. Rccogniiing ihc benefits which
eaeh an institution would confer upon the
immunity in which it might be created,
the Legislature through us uppeela to tbo
cities and towns of the State to submit offers
far its locstioa, The jtresenoe of a State
eehool of this rharaoter, with a large Faculty
and probably several hundred young 'adie*
from all parte of the State, wraid at once
make its aite a comer of education, intelligence
and social attraction. Ite influence
would directly elevate and assist the locvtl
schools : and there would follow an mcreaic
of population, with an enhancement of values,
not easily to be oTerc?lim?ted.
We invite the atteti'ion of the municipal
authoritios and people ofour eitioa and town*
to these considerations. The competition ?
which is for general ae well as loenl benefit 1
?is open to all. Correspondence ia freely 1
invited. A member of the Ceaiiniseion will i
eome te any pat t of the for State conference, j
if deeaaed neceeeery.
All offere must be definitely submitted by
1st of July. Meantime similar schools 1
abroad will be thoroughly inspected in order
to secure the advantages of the beet experience.
Afterwards all sites t r ptoper(>es

It an ther column will Lo foun 1 a circular
fiom Uia commiUie appointed by tba
UovcriH r. under resolutions adopted at tba
Inst session of the Legislature, to enquire into
the inciter of establishing a State Industrial
School for Women, inviting propositions
or offers from persona and p uses te secure
its loration.
The a< eial, moral and business advantages
of auoh an institution in this or any
other eommuni'y cannot be orereetimated,
and should command the act're, united and
moat liberal efforts of our cit sens to secure |
its loostion here.
At lli<s time, Union is probably in a better
condition to effor liberal inducements tc>
such an institution than any other town in
the S'ete.
We are preparing to erect a line building
for a Graded School, for which $7,000 in
town bond* hare been issued.
We liave two fine lots upon whieh our
p- eaent uisle and female sehoel houses stand,
and the esboel Trus'eee, we believe, propose
to S'.'U one of them, and apply the proceeds
as a auiplcment to tbe $7,000 already nppi
opria'od.
If n< ltbcr of these town lo'a is large enough,
we here two or three magnificent elevated
s'tes overlooking the town, aod within the
corporate limits, with plenty of land attached,
which wc believe soul 1 bo bought obeap,
for thai purpote.
We do nol know wneiner me
I cen astually sold, but we do know they art
n good and safe investment nt their fact
vnlucnnd shnild nat be disposed of at 2 psi
cent below th'it.
Now. wi'h these substantial advantage* tc
build upon, ani in view of the fact that ihe
St ite would spend niary thousand dollart
more in the erection of eu'tablc buildingr
nlone, we suggest that some energetic aetlor
be tukvn by tha School Trusters, the citiieni
ci-optrning, to place Union before commit
tea among the foremost competitors for tlx
location of the "Sta's Iodustriil School for
V onion."
It is probnb'c that it w 11 require mor

Where a renter or tenant only takes a h t

To make the question more plain: Sometimes
tenaa's take a farm that they call a
hoe farm ; that is, they don't do sny plowing.
but do the hoeing and gathering f<,r onothird

1 feeling a liiilo bit uneasy down here, for
is Tory cold for the season, and yesterday
(ruing there was a hard frost and ioe. And
e groun-l had a froxen crust over it, conquently
there is auxiely in regard to tho
ifety of the fruit crop.
NatuMtllT, there is a large amount of
implainiug on tbo part of farmers, for
lero has heeo but Yery little plowing d'*ne,
nly a few acres of cotton land opened, and |^_
few of oorn land belded, and what has
een don# was done when the land was
tost toe wet. Some say they had rather
us their oorn in tho crib than in I ho
;reuad, while it i* as eold and wot as it is
d prereat. That is tho general talk.
We ail would like to be putting aeed into
he ground to-day, but It might be to our
[real loss, while, as it is, it may turn out a'l
he better for us.
"Beyond our visions, weak and dim,
The harvest lime is h d with Hira."
Thrre will bo considerable guano used
lown here, but 1 do not think tho farmers
ire going to use it ou the:r eatiro cotton
:rop, for fear i might prove a "blank carridge,"
and then ihcy will lose money.?
Hut 1 believe, if guano is used judioiously,
putting what is gcneral'y put on fifteen
sores, on ten, and keep that ten clean of
grass, and depend less on unreliable day
labor, it would pay better. Manure is mucu
cheaper than hands, ?. ?., a hirge number to
wot k m lai gc area of poor land, for it never
wants to sil on a stump in the shade in tbo
heai ef the day, never goes to the store or
fishing on sxturdsy, &o.
It is strange how some poople in trying to
deny anything will oontradiet and expose
themselves and make themselves look ridiculous.
