To any one interested in agriculture it would h«> an instructive treat to visit the furiues of Mr. James Petit and Mr. Lemuel Blanton three miles West of Gallney’. These two farms were bought about twenty years ago, when the natural forest stood on every acre of them. Messrs. Petit and Blanton were then young men with no one to work but themselves and they bought their farms on time. They went on them and built small cabins in the woods, moved their young wives into them and commenced their busy lives. They are brother-in-laws and their farms join. Both of them have raised large families and now have model country homes. And J nowhere in Cherokee county is therejmore signs of constant and intelligent work. Both farms are models, every cultivated acre is terraced and a gully or washed place cannot be found on them. Their wheat and oat crops show the benefit of through preparation and are object lessons of what intelligent farming wi.'l do. Messrs. Petit and Blanton now have part of their crops planted and every tiling ready to plant the remain der. They plant every tiling that is grown in this climate and invariably make an abundant supply for them selves and families and some to sell. Neither one of them have ever bought bread or meat. Both of them own valuable town property, a consider able amount of cotton mill stock and are never without a good bank ac count, and have intense integrity | ind business depicted in every feature and movement. YY r hat Messrs. Petit and Blanton have done is in store for every Chero kee farmer who will observe their method and work like they have done. Quarterly Conference.
