We regret that what we said last
week in ref< renoe to .Mr. Sellers
should have given him offence, and
wo takeoff our huts an 1 us!; his par
don. .Mr. St Hers is one of our tiesl
citizens and wo would not for any
consideration intentionally injure
him or any one else. If ho said any
thing to give tho young man room
to make tho remark perhaps he had
little right to repeat it and wo had
less right, to publish it. So all are to
blame, hut wo take it all on ourself.
The man who never makes mis
takes loses good opportunities to
learn something.

On Tuesday night of last week a

were apprised of the fact. Ed Ed

Lust spring after selling my farm
at Elgin i rented an old run down
farm that had been making about
oUU pounds of seed cotton to the acre.
I prepared my land well and sowed
twenty-four acres of it in oats in Feb-
| rurary, using twelve bushels of cot
ton seed to t he acre as a fertilizer.
I made (iO'J dozen bundles of very
good outs After harvesting my oats
I sowed my stubble in peas not using
any fertilizer, mid 1 made twenty-
nine tons of us lino pta vine hay us 1
ever saw.
In t!i<* first week in May 1 planted
thirty-five acr**s of this old land in
corn. I used tw,*u\v-eight two-horse
loads of compost under my corn and
made oGO hush Is of corn.
At the time I was sowing my oats
and planting my corn some of my ull-
cotton-growing neighbors remarked to
me, that “I was a d—d good railroad
