JO NESS PRIVATE ARGUMENT.
That air Sam Jones, which lived in Jones,
Hq had this point about him :
TTe’d swear with, horrible and groans
That fanners must stop gettin’ loans,
An’ git along without ’em ;
That bankers, warehousemen, and sich,
Was fattenin’ on the planter,
Apd Tennessce tvas rottin’ rich / y z f
A raisin’ meat an’ corn, all which
Draw’d money to Atlanta.
An’ the only thing (says Jones) to do
Is eat no meat that’s boughten,
But tear up every “I. O. U.,”
And plant all corn, an’ swear for true
To quit a raisin’ cotton.
ijrW** *' ' -a.
Thus spouted Jones whar folks could Lear,
At court an’ other gatherin’,
And thus kept spoutin’ many a year,
Proclaimin’ loudly, far an’ near,
Siett ‘’ilddles'.ick and latherin’.”
Blit one all-fired sweatin’ day
It liappened l was hoein’
My lower cornfield, which it la/, u ..
Along the road thht runs the way
Whar I can see what’s goin’.
Anchirter twelve o’clock bad cum
ITelt a kind o’ faggin’,
An’ laid myself aneath a plum
To let my dinner settle sum,
When ’long cum Jones’s waggin ;
Ah’ Jones was settin’ in it so,
A readin’of a paper ;
Hte mules was goin’ powerful slow,
Fur he had tied the lines into
'The staple of the scraper;
The mules they stopped about a rod
From me, an’ went to feedin,
’Longside the road, upon the sod,
But Jones he had took a tod),
Not knowiti’, kept a rcadin’;
An’ presently says Jones, “It’d true
That Harrison’s head is level—
Thar’s one thing farmers all must do
To keep themselves from going tew
Bankruptcy, and the d—l!
“More corn 1 more corn ! plant less ground,
And mus’n’t eat what’s boughten’—

DYfiPWl’fflA FROM RATING HOT BREAD.
General Clingman, writing to the North
Carolina Agricultural Journal, tells some
truths and offers suggestions about the
citttscs and results of dyspepsia and indi
grstion, with especial reference to hot,
doughy hr- ad, whi< h will apply to all parts
of the country. Read, digest, and heed :
“Fh said that the frying-pan is the great
enemy to our people. There can be no
doutjt but that if has slain its thousands;
but hot bread is the slayer of ten thousands.
While traveling in Europe for eight months,
I saw nothing but cold bread ; nor did I,
while there, sec or Lear anything that tend
ed to induce me to believe that anybody in
Europe bad ever eaten a piece of hot bread.
I invaiiably, however, found the bread
good, and the people I saw appeared
healthy and robust. Some, as the English
and Germans, were especially so.
With respect to the United States, the
condition of things may be more strikingly
and pointedly presented by reference to in
dividual cases. Many years since, I stopped
nt the house of an acquaintance, and on
seeing Irhn I said : ‘You are not looking ns
well as’ usual.’ ‘No,* he replied, ‘I have
the dj’spt psia powerfully-bad.’ When din
ner was ready, there was an abundant sup
ply of meat and well-baked corn bread.
There was also, however, something called
biscuit, which was, in fact, rather warm
dough with much grease in it. I saw that
nfy host ate this freely with his meats.
1 remarked that I did not wonder that he
bad the dyspepsia, for that I could not live
a month in that way. 1 suggested that if
lie would eat well-baked com bread, or,
I»ci er still, light bread, he would not suffer
tbc way he was doing, lie answered, ve
hfin mtly, that hl'Would rather file than
eat light bread.’ I replied, ‘This is a free
country, and you have a right to die in this
mode it you cljoose, and I have not the
least doubt but that you will soon die.’ I
then referred to eases in which I had
known persons to die from such practices.
My cool ritode of discussing the question
evidently made an impression on his wife.
Next summer, on meeting him, I said,
‘You are looking much better.’ ‘Yes.’ he
replied, bursting into a hearty laugh, ‘I fol
lowed your advice and took to eating light
Bread, nnd I am ns well as 1 ever was in

< A writer in the Country Gentleman says:
“It seems to be the common liclief that
there is no limit to ilse ualura! age ot apple
trees ; but this is certainly a mistake. We
all know that the peach tree usually fails
to be profitable at twelve to fit two years of
age, And the cherry and plum average only
twenty to thirty years; the pear, in favor
able wrctunshincca, forty to fifty years—in
rare cases a much longer time. So, also,
the a|q»le tree has Ug natural limit, and, al
though, like man’s life, the duration of the
period of With and vigor vaiks greatly,

A GREAT FARMING ENTERPRISE.
Some months ago-—says the Marysville
(Cal.) Appeal—we stated that the Excelsior
Canal company were contemplating and
inaugurating a great farming enterprise in
the-foot hills between this city and Smarts
ville, where they have a body of seventeen
hundred acres of land. They are now
building an irrigating ditch at Smartsville,
with the following dimensions: five teetdtt
the bottom, seven on top, and three in
depth. The ditch will carry all the water,
that is needed for irrigating purposes; and
it is the theory of the enterprising propri
etors that the muddy waters will make
their second or third class land as product
ive as the best in the State. The proprie
tors are sowing wheat and stocking with
clover, but expect to put a large share of
this land to alfalfa. From their meadows
they expect to cut immense quantities of
hay, besides provide fields for the pasture
of large flocks of sheep. They will stock
with English sheep adapted to mutton,
and endeavor to make a specialty of Bend
ing the spring lambs to market in the mid
die of the winter. Pomology will not lie
neglected in this new field of agriculture.
The proprietors propose to set- out an or
chard of one thousand orange trees, as well
as orchards ot English walnuts, almonds,
; nnd pecans. . ...
A poor farmer can not conceal the fact
that he is a poor farmer. All his surround
ings proclaim the verdict against him—hie
horses, cattle, wagons, harness, plows,
fences, fields, bis wife and children, bear
silent but unmistakable evidence against
him. On the other fonl, all these things
will testify favorably in behalf of the good
farmer. Every passer-by. can read the evi
dence for and against. This fact alone
ought to stimulate every farmer to do his
best, for the sake of his character as well
as interest; for he may rest assured that
tho«e who see the evidence will pronounce
judgment accordingly.
A correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker says: “Set a tomato plant into
each hill of cucumbers or melons, and you
will have no trouble from the striped bug*
that are so destructive to these plant!. The
plants can be tied to stakes, and, if well
pruned when large, both subjects can pro
ceed with their fruitage without detriment
to one another.”
The Practical Farmer recommends the
following wash for the bodies of fruit trees;
One ounce of copperas to eight or ten gal
lons of water forms a good wash, and is
advised for trial us a preventive against
blight. One pound of bleachers’ soda and
one gallon of water form a wash that cleans
off all insects, and leaves the trees with
fresh, young-looking, healthy bark.
A tablespoonful of black pepper put
in the first water in which gray or buff
linens are washed will keep them from
spotting. It will also keep the colors of
black and colored cambrics or muslins from
running, and does not harden the water.
A little gum arabic imparts a gloss to ordi
-1 nary starch.
Hall’s Journal of Health insists that we
would be healthier if we ate more onions.
1 Dried onion contains from twenty-five to
thirty per cent of gluten, and ranks in
1 this respei t with the nutritious pea and the
grains. Experience has long proved that,
like cheese, it helps to sustain strength be
yond what its bulk would suggest.
Now is the time to attend to the prenara
tion of tobacco beds. Brush for burning
may be gotten together and the ground
made ready, so that it may bo raked and
dug as soon as dry enough. The earlier
the seed may be sown the better generally.
Oi.n papers are excellent to put the finish
on newly polished tinware, cutl :ry, silver
spoons, and to renew the polish of stoves
that have not been blackened for some
time.

To the citizens of Cherokee
county:
After having been engaged for
nine years in the mercantile busi
i news in your midst, I have become
convinced that the credit system is
all wrong. To follow it, a merchant
has either to charge enormous pro
fits, or ruin himself by selling on
time. Those of you who pay
promptly have to pay such large
profits that, the merchants can af
ford to lose the accounts of yo-r
, neighbors who are not disposed to
pay, or who are unfortunate and
can notjpay. In other words, good
| men have to pay for the goods pur
chased by their unfortunate or 1
dishonest neighbors. This state of;
things is wrong, and when a man ’
is satisfied tihat he is wrong be
should change his course, or be
held responsible for living in the
wrong.
Fully convinced that the above
position is correct, I have deter
mined to sell, after the Ist of De
cember next, exclusively for cash
or barter. I can and will sell at
least twenty per cent, cheaper, the
stock through, than I have ever
sold. lam in favor of every per
son paying for hi«* own goods, and
hope none of my old customers
and friends will be offended when
I say to them that after the Ist of
| December I will sell for cash or
barter only. 1 will be no respecter
us persons, will require cash from
every one, and positively will net
open my books to charge any item, 1
lie it ever so small, to the best man
in the county. If you have cash
or barter, call and examine my
stock and prices before purchas-1
ing elsewhere, and you will then
. be fully satisfied with my new de-
I parture. I charge nothing for ex
hibiting goods, or giving prices,
; and when you have examined the
i one and heard the other, you will
then be convinced it is to your in
terest to pay as you go.
All those who are indebted te
me, or to the firm of McAfee A
Moss, must come forward and make
! immediate settlements. This is
i my last call.
Very respectfullv,
