Mr. Samuel B. Coffin, of High Point, N. C., and St. Louis, Mo., is in Barnwell completing arrange ments for the erection of the plant and the installation of the necessary machinery. A lot just North of the Gulf Refining Company's plant, on the Southern Railway, has been pur chased from Mr. B. B. Easterling and the work of erecting the neces sary buildings will begin in about ten days, according to Mr. Coffin, who has had about 25 years exper ience in the furniture business in North Carolina. Mr. Coffin expects to start off in a modest way, adding to his plant as conditions warrant To begin with, he will employ about 25 men, cut ting between 76,000 and 100,000 feet of veneer dally, the product being sold to furniture and piano manu facturers. He expects to buy a large portion of hie logs from individuals, thus providing a market for owners of email quantities of timber who etherutee would he uuabie to dispose of H profitably, Foe the press at be will uae only poplar and pereoeu who ban any eurtl Umber In dispose sf wttt do well to get tn touch with bim Anthracnose, a disease that badly affects watermelons, may be suc cessfully controlled if care is taken in carrying out the necessary con trol methods.

Let the seed stand in this solution 10 to 15 minutes then wash the seed three times in clean water. Be sure to use earthware or enamel vessels to put the solution in. This solution ir a violent poison and should be kept away from children, live stock, etc. If you do not plant the seed in a few hours after tr^ting be sure to dry them then.

Williston, March 24.—The Bam berg Minstrels and Entertainers of the Choral Club, under the aus pices of Martha Watson Chapter, D. A.

R. Ray, of Blabkville, for a copy of The Barnwell People dated January 9th, 1879—just a little over a year from the date of its first issue. The paper is well preserved, although the quality of the printing itself is not up to the standard of today, being dim in some places and blurred in others. However, there is no fault to be found with its contents and a persual thereof proved very interest ing. Among various other news items was one describing salesday—bn event of importance thei} as it ia now. We learn that “more property was sold tlian in any one day for a long while."

So she puts on an amateur show in her own home town, k isn’t everything a show ought to be But at any rate, Polly is determined and before the pic ture ends she has won success in New York and a husband besides. The rains continue to delay farm work, and it will now be impossible for the farmers to get the early start that they had planned. Some cotton is coming up along the road to Allendale, but experienced farm ers do not believe that a good stand will be obtained from such early plantings, due to the—recent—eeld- spelt.
