HUCC’E^SKUL FARMING. The farmers of r,o county in the State know their business better or know better bow to tak- 1 care of themselves generally, than do the farmers of Cherokee county and newspaper suggestions here, as in other counties, and often properly, fall fiat before them. We, however, think that a few from us will not be considered impertinent for we will not suggest a inode of planting or culture. We know they all know how to do that much berter than we do. But there are a few things about farthing that we do know. We know the farmers who have made provision crops their principal crop, and who have made their own sup plies of corn, wheat, oats, long for- Bg ,J and meat at home, arid then made as much cotton as they could are the tanner* who ere ahead of the game in farming. We kn >w they are the farmers who pay cash for their purchases, who own cotton mill and bank stock and who have money to loan less prudent brothers. With the above facts before us, will it not be well this year for all of our farmers to adopt the provision idea of farming which has been worked so successfully by others and quit buying food stuff, the products of other farms, which are no better suited to their production than are their own. Cherokee lands make average crops of all the cerials, grasses and root crops and our fioe climate and fertile soil combine to make our county an ideal one for stock raising. With these local advantages and the plans and prudent methods of our provis ion makers adopted, Cherokee will bloom like a rose, and peace, plenty and happiness will dwell in all our homes, aod fat lambs and cattle will roam our hills. Beside*, our childr* n will have the social and intellectual advantages incident to happy and unstinted homes REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. How Froportj Change* Hands in Thrifty Cherokee.

Roll of Company Formed at “Gaffoev’s Old Field” to Fight for Their Coaotry. Gaffney, 8. C., March 25, 1902. Mr. Ed. H. DeCamp: Sir :—I notice In your paper you have given space lo the names of some of the companies who volnnteerd and served in the Confederate service from within the bounds of Cherokee county. It has pot me to ruminat ing and scratching my head to com municate, and I have thought it might interest some of the living veterans and the children and grand children of those wbo lost their lives in the Confederate service, to know something about Co. I. 5tb Regt. 6. C. V. This company was organized at Gaffney’s old field on 7(h day of July, 1861, and was presented with a fine silken banner with the Palmetto tree and other suitable emblems upon it. On receiving the flag, each member pledged his sacred honor to defend it and to defend the fair donors, which pledge was carried out to the letter. Said banner, after we went into service in Virginia, was adopted as the regimental flag and was curried till the regiment could see the spires of the buildings in Washington city, and was used as a battle flag until the stars were adopted as our guidon, and it was unfurled in sight of the enemy und was never trailed in the dust of humiliation or dishonor. Though we Joe*, our cause, we have never been convinced that we were fighting for an unjust cause.

She bad been sick several months and was carried to her father’s farm in North Caro lina, hoping that she would improve; but she failed to do so and was brought to her borne in the city a abort time ago and continued to grow worse uutil tbe end came and relieved her of Buffering. Annie was a most exemplary child and was tbe idol of her home, but tbe fell destroyer came and claimed her as a victim. This was a severe blow to Mr. aod Mra.
