The crop prospects indicate that this is a ymar when liberal use of fertilizers will be more than usually wise and profitable, and it is suggest ed that those farmers who have not yet placed their orders shoulk do so without delay and thus help out the situation by giving the manufactur ers a clear conception of the needs of the coneumers and thelsize of the manufacturers' job in meeting those needs. - 0 DEATH[ OF AN INFANT. Special to Manning Times: Davis Station, March 12-Lillie Mae, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eldrid Johnston, died the 11th inst., of plneumonia, following an at tack of the influenza. She had been here only eleven months, but all had become so much attached to her. Her little body was laid to rest in the Beth lehem cemetery. Its mother, Mrs. Isabelle Johnston, is very low with influenza, now, and iot nmeh hope is entertained for her recovery. Influ enza is reaping many lives, but it seems to be subsiding to some extent. 0 ' PRICE OF CORN.
