NoticeA
recent ruling of the post-'
office department requires publishers
of weekly newspapers to
discontinue all subscriptions;
that are one year or more behind.
We are allowed until April
1 to comply with this requirement,
after which time all subscriptions
not paid to April 1
1907 (or beyond that date) will
oe cut off. We have no choice
en the matter, being compelled
to conform to the regulations of
the postoffice department.
Now, we ask all our subscribers
who are in arrears and want
the paper continued, to come up
and settle their accounts before
Anril 1. while those delin
__I ' - vquents
who do not care to have
the paper any more will confer
a tavor to notify us and at the
same time pay what they owe
for past service. We ask that
prompt attention be given to
this matter, as there is but little
time for delay.

the soldiers' cemetery and paid j
their annual tribute of flowers
to the departed dead.
After a short intermission,
the vets were a^ain formed in
line and marched to the Farm- j

were regaled with a bountiful
spread.
A unnanimous vote of thanks
was adopted by the veterans of
Camp Pressley for the hand- \

?iFE AMONG THE ROMANS
Farm Work Backward-More About
Soed Corn-Other News.
RoMe, May, 11:?As I haven't '
seen anything in your valuable pap- J
er in some time from the town of 1
Rome I will attempt to write a few 1
dots, which I suppose will be very '
scattering, as 1 have never written 1
anything for publication before. I I
am a farmer and not a writer, but
have always heard tbat a poor start
is better than no start at all. <
We have had a very unfavorable (
spring for our farms to get prepared 1
for planting and it still looks pretty (
gloomy for the farmers. Crops are
unusually small, u poor stand of cotton
everywhere and a great many
have ploughed up the first crop and
planted a second time, while .others
have replanted extensively. The 1
cool nights and bleak winds are very h
much against all crops and have *
been greatly eouducive to cut worms
and bud worms in our corn and to- 1
bacco fields, gardens, etc. In fact *
almost everybody is behind with c
work down here and labor very *
3carce and such as can be employed a
is bard to control, being generally '
very alow, lazy and trifling and giv- c
ing very little satisfaction to the em- 1
> 8
pio>cr.
There is quite a lot of sickness in
our community now, all cases of
of which we hope for an early re- )
covery.
Well, Mr Editor, 3ince reading
the communications of Mr S O Eaddy,
T K James, the "Old Sage*' and j
others I thought all along that I i
would suy something too, but as our <
friend, Mr McCollough "hit on the *
subject in such a noble and incom- \
prehensible manner to me" I finally
decided to remain quiet in his favor, i
But now as I am writing, I will tell <
you how I select my seed corn and (
what I think about planting and ^
growing corn, 1
11 i i J ?- n.? ?
l generally seieci my seen in oep- i
tomber or October for the future
year. I go into my field while the '
corn is all on the stalks aud select j

log about twice tne amount i tuiu&
I will need. I put this in sacks and
hang it up iu the top of the barn,
never shuck until planting time in
the following spring. This I select
aiV seed from. Now, when I plant I
put two grai08 in each hill, as we
ilwuys kuow it is impossible to get
i bushel of seed corn without some
bad or damaged grains, and by plant., ,
ing by this method it alnuwt always
^ives a perfect stand and fully doubly
Dave for thinning. And'now, Mr
* * - "
Editor, about multiplying the yield
)f corn, I don't know how to tefyjtliers
to do, but will give you my
plans and probably it may benehfc
)thers somewhat:
No 1. Drain the land well,
" 2. Prepare it thoroughly,
" 3. Fertilize it highly,
" 4. Work it faithfully.
Now, in regard to working land,
ny method is deep plowing for prepiration
and shallow plowing for cul- t '
i ration.
And, say Mr Farmers, please renember
the old saying: ua stitch in
ime saves nine," and let's see if we
:ant make every move in our crop in
-rtr I I k
lime, wecouiu muse mure vivy ^
ind save a many a step too. Well, p
Vlr Wolfe, I tbinjc I had better ring

f I see this iu print and you so deire
I will come again soon.
