This con dition la nut con lined to Oconee nor to the South. The North anti West have suffered also. One of the greatest shortage, this year in the Wen is hay, and as a result reports are to thu effect that hay Is going to be exceedingly scarce this wliue r , and high In price. While tbe«e condition, have pre valkd in the great hay-p odnchg section* of the oountty, the Mouth has been blessed with an unusual growth of hay and forage of all kinds. We too ofum negkot tbw*e blessing* that nature throw's unsolicited at our very feet, and we let waste that which peo ple »f a less favored section Would garner In with great care Take advantage of every good day thl* fall to save forage, cut grass for hay. and give it careful attention after Itiscuti it will mean a g-eat .nvlng even If price* for hay are normal, »rtd it will mpan a much greater saving If, as predicted, hay shad be umisually htgh In price this winter, Why buy that which we have In abundance any wav ? It is one of the cur.es of a highly favored section that we do not realize the gifts that nature bestow* gratuitous!,., but scorn to ex pend a little energy In saving the verv things that/we are glad to buy from the farmer of tho West, Our farmers have learned the art of making, and the S>uth ba. pro gressed wonderfully as a result. When we hkve al*o mastered the le**on of saving, we shali see the .Southern farmer “oomc Into his own.” Don!! waste WTly of the flue fall weather. Even If you do not save a thing that will bring a dollar of actual money Into your'hands, you may re«t assured that y >u will avoid the neces- alty of paying out manv a dollar dur ing the Winter. And after all, it amounta to the same thing. There I* no truer maxim than “a dollar saved 1* a d»llar made ”—Keowee Couriei By virtue of the power vested in the undersigned, executors ot the late C.
