until a very short time before
his death. This young man
was a member of Bethesda M P
church and a splendid young
man. He was robust and had
enjoyed excellent health. His
death therefore came as a great

"I see Mr. up here has
been plowing his land too wet,"
said a prominent farmer to the
writer the other day. "Yes," we
replied, "and I saw some fellows
plowing yesterday just after the
rain." Entirely too much land
has been plowed wet this spring.
Farmers in the clay land do not
dare plow much when the land
is wet for they know the land
will get so hard they can hardly
scratch it. But the sand will not
get hard, and manv farmers
damage their land without realizing
it It is just as had to plow
sand wet as it is clay, except
that the sand will not get so
hard.
"There should be a public
road from this section direct to
Pageland," said Mr G. H. At

he would straighten the road
across his farm, and that the
other lands traversed by such a
road would be those belonging
to D. W. Mangum, D. V. Hen
drix, K. M. Railings, W, T. Rutledge
and Mott Deese. We submit
this proposition to the people
who would be atfected by it,
and to the officials foi further
consideration. On its face it
seems to be worthy of consideration.
Mr. Robt. A. Allen, who
moved from this countv to the
Matthews section of Union
