This is the best opportunity that tho farmers of South Carolina have to receive valuable instruction while they are enjoying themselves.

Wo believe that cvory farniT who do ^ attend will como back a better farmer and of more valuo to the stato and county. No man should think for a moment that he is too poor or humble to go to Clemson. Nobody "puts on stylo" at those meetings. Substantial farmers of common sense meet to hear instruction and whether a man wears a linen or a cotton shirt makes no dftforonco in his treatment. Itmakes nodilToronce any whoro,among intelligent people. Cured of Chronic Diarrhoea After Ten Years or Suffi? ig.
