We direct your attentiou to the adver*

of either are moderate —very moderate.

Mr seised. That W J
Thw Month off Fwbrittarf.
This is a month of “odda and aada.”
Had you ones thought how odd it ie from
that of any other? If you will juat follow
ua we will point not a few of ita oddities.
It has 90 days, which occurs but ones in
every four years, aad it la the shortest
month in the year; it has flve Sundays,
which nccnfa but three times during a
century: it baa the same number of 8ua«
days, and in the same order, that August
baa: It cornea in on Sunday and goes out
on Sunday, hence it ia the month of Sun
days; one of tnese Sundays, the fourth,
is* the birthday of Washington: on the
96th one of the planet*, Hcrschri, will
be in direct opposition to the aun; it has
an odd number of days, which gives to
it leap year distinctions; it ia month for
valentines—the 14th—which is not odd
mere than that no other month in the
year ii attendant with this frivolous
feast. It if said that no one now living
will ever see another February so odd ;
nor will their children, nor children’s
etiildren—sufficient in itself to make the
month interesting. So then to February
let us give a good old cheer.
To the Christian People of Cher
okee County.
The Executive Committee of Cherokee
county ha /e held a meeting and we have
determined by the help of God and his
people to iiave a Sabbath School in ev
ery cliarch in the county before the year
1880 comes to a close. In the Sabbath
School is the only place where the Bible
can be taught to the children. We hold
that it is the duty of every Christian to
do something for Jesus, because Jesus
say* “Go work to day in my vineyard.’i
Well, if you only tell one little child
about Jesus it may be the cause of that
one turning to Jesus when it becomes to
the years of maturity. There is so much
wickedness in this world that if God’s
children do not take the children and
teach them the blessed truth of the Bi.
ble they will grow up to be wicked mon
and women, and disregard God’s Laws.
“Train up a child in the way he ahold go
and when he is old he will not depart
from it.” Now then if you want your
child to become a follower of Christ you
must teach it to him while young. “To
him that knoweth to do good and doeth
it not to him it is sin,” says St. James.
Then if you know that there is good to
be accomplished by working in the Sab
bath School “to you it is sin” if you tail
to do it, therefore you see that you are in
a yery close place. Then let me call up
on you to arise and go to work at once
for your Master—how can you keep from
telling the good news of salvation to ev
ery one. Now we call upen every church
in the county to meet at their church
houses on the 1st Sunday in March and
organize Sabbath Schools and send del.
egates to the next meeting ot County
Sunday School Association, which meets
at Woodstock the 1st Saturday in May,
1880. There will be given on that day
one doz. muaic books, known as “Wreath
ef Gems” to the school that makes the
best music—one song allowed to each
school. The programme will be publish
ed before the meeting. Below is the bus-

on common up*laed, twelve hundred
pounds of seed cotton per nan. He says
he put two hundred pounds of guano per
acre in the drill and then rolled his cot
ton seed in guano, adage bushel of gu
ano to ten of cotton seed. We deem hia
plan a very sueeeasfhl one and has been
shown so by the yield in the laat crop.
Farming has began on a Urge scale
about Hickory Flat, and tha prospects
are that a heavy crop will be gathered
this year.

Tha Haasian fly has damaged wheal
crops considerably in this section. Some

enough to pay for tha seed sown. Many
have resown a portion of their wheat

It is thought the cold snap about
Christmas damaged the wheat and cat
prospect to a very great degree whiok
will lead the farmers to go heavy oa oot*
ton. Our adviev is to go heavy an com
and cow peas and divide the spoil la
cotton and sweet potatoes. Tha result
will then be corn tor the hogs, peas for
the cattle, a goad fertiliser for the farm,
cotton to pay our taxes, get sugar and
