What Richmond county needs worse than all else is good roads.

No wis a mighty good time to pay what you owe your county paper. Take a peep at your label.

Its illustrations illustrate, and many of them suggest simple ex periments that children can make and comprehend which are ; both interesting and instructive. The farmer who undertakes to farm simply from the instructions of the best of agricultural journals with out depending in a large measure on nis common sense will make a failure, but at the same time the farmer who studies this little bock will learn much that will help him to grow j crops if he apply the least bit of common . sense. Its faithful study bv ail our farmers would be worth $10,000.00 a year to our county. The book can be found at the place of sale of the other school books, and should be carefully read by teachers with a view to originating classes for its study.
