I A farmer suggests that, attention be directed to the fact that missing places In cotton and corn, due to poor stands, can be profitably utilised by being planted in cotton patch peas, sola beans, or peanuts in cotton; and velvet beans, peas, soja beans or pea? nuts in corn. He says that it seldom pays to replant missing places In cot? ton or com, but that It does pay to plant the missing places In catch crops, such as suggested. Vacant lot gardeners are being damaged and annoyed by chickens that are permitted to run at large Rnd depredate at will upon the property of neighbors. It is not only inconsid? erate, but unlawful for poultry own ers to allow their chickens to run at large, and those who have raised chickens on the streets and in the vegetable gardens of their neighbors, should repent of their sins and re? solve to lead a new life, beginning at once to treat others as they would be other words, keep their chickens at home and give their I neighbors a chance to make a garden and reap the fruits thereof. These words of warning are given in a kind? ly spirit and it would be well for those who have chickens running nt large to give heed to the warning, for many of the vacant lot gardeners are becoming impatient and unless the chickens are at home some of them will not get home to roost.

The Second regiment will soon be called Into active service again, and the Sumter Light Infantry Is still short of men to till its ranks up to the required peace footing. Those who believe so strongly in the volunteer system should prove their faith by enlisting now. Sumter county should be able to furnish at least'one com? pany. I i Mr. O.
