The weather has been good for work and the farm ers are hustling.

Wheat was so late coming up last winter that many farmers were fear ful that it would be too thin, but we are hearing good accounts from it all over the county, and if no disaster befalls it in the future farmers are looking for a good harvest. A much needed warm rain fell Mon day night which was of great benefit to the growing plants, and aid to the ■ seeds in the ground that have not yet come up. The weather, however, has been quite cool since, which may further retard the germination of the ; seeds. Mrs. R. C. Sarratt’s many friends ■ in Gaffney congratulate her on being the winner of the Spartanburg Jour- j nal’s first prize of $100 in the guess ing contest at the number of atten dants at the music festival.
