The Weekly Advertiser

Randolph county planners are going in debt less than any year since the war. The 
Roanoke News says a large corn crop and pig-sticking last year is the cause, and 
we earnestly hope the people will plant largely of corn again this year and 
fatten their hogs in the fall. Sorghum raising has also saved the farmers a 
great deal this year. Let us have more of the hog, hominy, taters and lasses, 
and less cotton and guano.
The same paper says Mr. Mayo, near Blake's Ferry, Randolph County, had a rail-
splitting, to which Mr. John Bradford went, add he and another gentleman, in 
trying to fall a rail-tree caused it to lodge, and while endeavoring to get the 
tree down a limb fell, and striking Mr. Bradford on the head, killed him 
instantly.
