at last and we nro' ndw having' beiutiful
weather, which hai changed the frowns 011
tbe farmers' faces to smilps and put everybody
io good spirits agniiv
We hare been eery busy for the lust few, |
days getting ready for p'?nting. The indi
canons mil morniag are mat we will nave
several if yr? i it to, o^m
planting will be ^igorous'y pushed this
week, very little hawing been planted around
here as ye*. I think there will be a larger
acreage of this important orop planted this
year than oeual, which is certainly a step
in the right direction.
1 don't believe the cries of "bind times,"
"farming don't pay," &c., will ever stop or
the farmers be successful again until they
begin to raise their own supplies at home
nnd not depend on raising cotton, which is j
the most expensive and difficult crop we
cultivate, to pay for what they est. Show
me a man who makes his corn, wheat, onts,
meat, molasses, &c., on his own farm, and I
will not on'y show you a prosperous an I
successful fa-roer, but one who can bettor
afford to sell his cotton at seven cents than
the on% who buys hie.supplies can nt cloven
or twelve een's.
Tbcri is anotli'rfifJca which, I am pleased
to etate, is becoming general among the f?rmers
; that is, plsnling less ground and ,
manuring nnd wnrk'hg it better: Don't try I
to stretch n snck if guano or a little manure
over two ncro?, but put it a'l on one, and

There has been much sail and written
lately about planting lest cotton and more
of tlio food crops, We are patiently and
hopefully trailing to i co if this is carried
out. If so, we predict a prosperous future,
net only for tho farmer but for everybody
else. Vox expressed my thoughts exactly,
when he said that the present ruinous prices
of ornand cotton would ptove to be "a
blessing in disguise."
The ;r?ia crops are still very promising,
especially those sown in the Fall.

We have bcrn seeere'y "boycotted by

"let the heathen rage."
' The killing of the mad dog mentioned in

The Bird Hunting Explained, c
Santlc, Match 13.?Editor Unios Times. 1
?As your correspondent "E. W. .T." has 1
had considerable to say through the Times c
about bird hunting in this locality, I desire '
to state to the readers of the Times the
facts as regards what bird hunting I did. 1
In his first letter he says,?"bird hunting "
that is done solely for money." "It seems "
that a party is organized for the purpose of 1
killinc birds fiirm's." "It in imnnlloil hv '
greed lo satisfy their own extremely selfish 1
aim.*." '-To gloat over the almighty dollar."
&c. &c. 1
The above assertions are gross misrepresentations,
uttered with the most malicious f
patent. I sold a few hundred birds to supply
a demand for them. I have hunted
partridges for thirteen years and never sold
one until last winter, which proves the falsity
of his allegation, that it was done tultli/ for
money.
We used many birds at home this season,
? J TO w T it.. ?t,.i f.,r
several seasons past I have hunted partridges
for the plesure it afforded only. There never
has been any understanding between me and
nny other bird hunter in regard to killing
i* ' : ?wr mIUvw pTOTCS COuviusi VoSjf ille
falsity of bis reprcscmation that in soiling
the birJs I was impeded by greed, Aco. &c.
A kind providence has, with my own exertions,
provided for uie and mine, independent
of bird money.
Some people are used t j so little money
that they think uthor persons almost go crazy
liko themselves when they soe the "almighty
dollar" coming into their possession.
in his secoud letter, in reference to bird
hunting ho says that lie was called from a
dietanco to "como by." I was within ten
steps and merely said I would like to Bee
him. lie slightly turned and 1 never heard
him say a word, nor did I see him open liis
mouth, and he did not chango the gait he
was wa king. He would not ttcp aside aa I
re jucstcl, and therefore, when a man with
malicious intent makes a false statemont concerning
any one, through the press, (which
is open beforo the world,) and wi'l not lie
int. rv own! in a private manner, then I di t
not consider it imnoli'c or a show of imar. .
lirwn ?A rjonouncc h'-IS public!j". I did 1101 <
say that I did not hum birds for non;y. <
I said, I did not hunt birds for the "ado" |
purpose of selling them. He denied ii tho ,
presence of a third party that he *aid in his <
first letter, it was done "solely for money,"
went into a store close by to get ihc Timks <
to prove his denial. I waited about fifteen i
minutes for his rouiru but he did not appear <
until I went to unload some cotton t> be
weighed. On seeioglrm leave the st>rel returned
nnd asked him had he found the
paper, he replied ia the negative. Then 1
told him to let my business alone. 1 c in- |
siiler a man's private atfiirs, of whatever ,
nature his own private business. j
He speaks of my walking as 'ambling,' and
my speaking ns "blatantly. ' I am satisfied (
with the way in which the Creator allows (
me to wnlk and talk, and "E. W. J." nvght
as wed be Ho says he has a voice and in- J
lends to speak ugainrt what he considers to
be wrongs and injustices. We'l, I have j
never reen in any paper where ho denounced
the shooting of n colored man's mule
within three or four hundred yards of whsrs
he resides. I consider the shooting to death
of that mule a wrong and a crime, too. '

who were wending their way to the I ttlo

building of grey s'ooe, of Gitbic
architecture, and on the left near the organ
is a tablet which tel's that the bouse of worship
is due to the earnest an 1 arduous labors
of Judge Thomas Dawkins. I entered tho
church a few moments before service, so had
a chance to look at the beautiful decorations.'?"
Tho chancel was tastefully arrangod in calla
lilies, jonquils and many flowers of spotless
white, while beyond the chancel rail
a mass of g wgo -us flowers was seen. Many
banners of blue and red, lettered in gold told
the glad resurrection story, Tho pipe organ
was dccotnted with a lyre of flowers and
i evergreens. Th# font of pure white marble
was tilled with beautiful oil's 1 lies. Tho

1 which myriads of the saints have rea l, needs

chapter aoa 14th verse. Tho communion
service followed, and feel ng that the pcaco
of God had descended into my heart w th
I the benediction 1 wended my way homeward.
? At half past three o'c'oc'i I-went to the
L children's service, at the Methodist Churoh,
which was beautifully decorate 1 with a proi
fusion of evergreens, flowers and potted
r plants. Indeed the calla lilies which were
there are tho most luxurious and handsomest
I I have ever seen. The service was ontirc'y
conducted by the children, with the execution
of a prayer nnd a short address madeJjUi
the pastor, Rev. W. I. Herbert, and the cxef^
cises consisted of rcc tati'-ns, hymns, and
the reading of a let'er asking tho co-operaz
