There is now and then a farmer who keeps an accurate account of his ex penditures and receipts in producing certain crops, but it is not often we find one who is willing for the public to have the benefit of his experience. Our friend Fountain Williams, of Jones county, sends us a statement of one of his tenants, Mr. John K. Humphrey, which shows the result of his experience with cotton and chickens for the year 1885. At the beginning of the year Mr. Humphrey had fortr bushels of cotton seed for which he was offered five dol lars, cash; but he had determined to make one acre rich for cotton, and re fused the five dollars for the cottonseed and applied - them with stable manure to this acre. After his cotton was up and growing, he made another applica tion of stable manure. From this acre he obtained a bale of cotton which brought him $32.00. One-half of this had to go to Mr. Williams for land and team, which left him .$16.00. The pick ing of the cotton was worth $6.00, leav ing him $10.00; the cotton seed he applied as' manure was worth $5.00, leaving him $5.00 for his stable manure and cultivating one acre in cotton. But Mr. Humphrey had better results from poultry raising. Last September he had twenty-five grown pullets which ate, up to the time of making this state ment, two and one-half (barrels of corn worth $7,00. From them he has sold eggs to the amount of $29.00; has fifty thrifty young chickens and three dozen mori eggs just ready to hatch out. A J! A- IT- TT 1 perience, twenty-nve puiiets .are,, lar more profitable than a rich acre in cot ton, even if the farmer has the land of his own to cultivate. Frnlt Canning. We publish today a timely article from Commissioner J. T. Patrick on the sub ject of fruit canning. We are surprised at the small cost of starting the business. Large quantities of blackberries, and huokleberries grow in this section of the State, and tomatoes ' can be grown ex tensively and cheaply.!, These with the pears and peaches that grow in this sec tion would keep, a oannery running several months in the year, Mr. Patrick offers to send us- the names of, persons wishing to engage in manufacturing enterprises in the State and also those who . desire to purchase property. These we will publish and our readers having property to sell can correspond with them.C He also makes the follownig announcement in regard to transportation fot settlers,- We hope he can make the . same arrangement with the A. &N.

Miss Belle Edwards and Mrs. Ed. Pitt- man are on a visit at their old home, Edwards' Mills, Beaufort county. F. B. Loftin, Esq., is having the Webb house in Newtown repaired. It will be much improved in appearance, and We cannot think he is doing all this fot himself, singly and alone. Our barbers, Walker and Green, have dissolved their partnership, Green re maining at their last place of business, and Walker moving back to their old stand noar the hardware store. Mr. Sam. Dunn, of Davis' School, spent Saturday and Sunday at home. It is difficult to tell which receives the greater number of compliments, his handsome face or his suit of gray. One of the colored teacher's of this county was asked whose philosophy he had been studying. He replied, "Mr. Hysreine's." Why grant certificates to such ignorant persons? How lonft be fore the colored people will become in telligent with such teachers? Mr. Bryan McCullen has moved to Richmond, where he will continue the insurance business. We regret to lose such a useful and quiet business man. but wish him abundant success, hoping that he may find it to his interest to re turn to his native town at a day not very distant. Frank Coward, on Mr. B. F. Parrott's placo, was handling a pistol which he thought was not loaded; but it went off, all de same, "and plugged a ball into his friend, Bill Mewborne's face. The ball first struck the chimney, killing much of its force instead of killing Bill, The churn man has been attracting some attention this week. Getting but ter from sweet milk is a new thing, but in this age of rapid improvement, we need not be much surprised at anything. Dr. Hodges, of La Grange, has bougnt the county right, and our people will haye a chance of testing its merits. Mr. Edmunds and family, who have spent the winter with us, have gone back to their Virginia home for the summer. They have made themselves at home among us, and we regret to see the time come for them to leave. We hope to raise a full crop of partridges this season, and will be glad to have Mr. Edmunds return next fall and kill all he can. Judge Gilmer, Dr. Nowitsky, C. C. Taylor of the Journal, and otqers have passed through town on their return from the Onslow court. The doctor says that medicine went like hot cakes. The Judge reports the jail cleared of prisoners and much business disposed of. Mr. Taylor looks as cheerful as usual and walks around with his books under his arm as a reminder that he would like to exchange receipts for money. Sentence was passed upon Geo. McMillan, col., who was convicted of rape at the fall term. He is to be hang ed on May 7th. Hyde County Items. Our affectionate' drummer is around again.

He says they are entirely under the super vision of a board of our naval officers-, That there are no snakes in Ireland, is known the world over. The reason Of their non-existence there is an un solved problem unless the following, taken from a New York paper, is the cause: "Faith in the virtue of the shamrock as a deadly enemy to snakes has been greatly strengthened in Brook lyn by an incident of St. Patrick's Day D. Beckman, a grocer, of No. 151 Grand street, has owned a large -boa constrictor for some months. The snake, which was eleven feet long, was exhibited' in the window of the store, Patrick Moran,. a clerk in the place, decided to try the effect of shamrock on the serpent, and for this purpose sent to friends in Ireland for a veritable sprig from the Green Isle. He received it on Monday, and with the permission of the owner placed a piece of the three-leayed plant .on the boa constrictor on the morning of St. Patrick's Day. He ae serts that the snake soon moved so that the shamrock fell off and then put his head Jkoward it and hastily drew back, J. wo hours alter ward the snako was found dead. Believers in the power of the shamrock declare that it killed the snake." Bucklen's ArnloaSalve.
