We feel confidant that (ha year 1887 will be Ilia most important year In the history of our county, and towu, and newspaper up to date, arid the close will mark greater changes in our social and indus trial pursuit* and their attain ments than any time of the same length While these inevitable changes ara transpiring, let us make the world brighter and hap pier by our lives, and remember what (hat gracd man says, who wrote, “ I expect to pass through (his world but once; if, therefore there be any kindness 1 can show, or any good thing I can do to *nv fellow humau being, let me do it now. Lei roe not defer or neg leol it, for I shall not not pais this way again.’* Gratifying Assurances. With the great pulsations of Georgia's progress come olieering news of the approach of tbe Au gusts and Chattanooga railroad, Already tbe grad# bee reached 20 miles this side of Aoguala/and last week a large force of bands went to work laying the traek. This sounds like a road ia coming. Talk pushes many things to com pletion gnd is the real instigator of railroads, but when sueh a cheap precursor is followed up by such evidences as this, then hope ■hakes hands with ooitfidence and the result becomes no assured fact. It is a good plan to keep the track of any road laid up with the grade tesminas and when such is the case people put faith In enter prises of that kind. This road is coming, and the authorities say they intend keeping the tarckand car* right up with the work on tho grade; So if wg over get e graded road the Iran will be its nearest neighbor, and the people ike immediate recipients of what ever good it may briug. We any let the good pr<\ject be continued, nod we will confidently await ite sura coming. This nows ia indeed encouraging, and w* wait far something bettor. In tbe mean*' ime tbe renders of tbe Courier •ball know tbo conclusion of the whole matter, • The Rfuabls Facts aowi. In tb* D-cembn 23 under the hrsmng. “What * want,'' 1 hinted at a few points on tobacco. Bv the kind permission <*f the editors, who undonbudl) nave iha interest of our country at heart, i aMI continue lo tell you wlial 1 knar on Ibie subject. Asa prelude it may be wall lo •ay that what 1 may aisle in this tiscussion I have learned by act ual experience, observation ot precept. Wbal any one baa oth erwise learned 1 plead guilty to not knowing, further, Ido not claim lo know ail on this subject. lam not writing for those who know more than 1 do, but lor be ginners and those having but lit tle ixperience in t bicco culture. To the experienced, ii any live in <>ur scop-, 1 suggest that you dig up your talent and let your light •bine. The woild must know that wa live in the golden tobacco belt, and the way to tell the world is to show the tobacco, and be fore wa can do this we must begin work ia a systematic way. Tile tobacco plant thrives best in a dsep, meiiow, loamy soil, rich or made to with manures. The sub soil should be si fficiently porous lo permit (he water (ailing on the surface lo pass downward readily, and not accumulate to drown am) •(agnate. The second grade of tobacco ieq.nres diJL-r-nt toils and management In insure a product that will command an adequate return for the labor and means expended thereon. It is therefore very important that the planter should ki.ow grade hi* land is capable of producing in the greatest prrlection. It seems pretty well settled that a deep, rich soil overlaying a red clay subsoil is best suited for dark heavy shipping tobaccos. A gravelly or sandy soil, ayih a red or brown subsoil, is best adapted to the pioduotion of tweet dllert and ttemming tobaccos. And ex perience has proved that a gray sandy or slaty top-soil, with a yel low poroua subsoil, is best for yellow wrapper* and emokere. And these grades are in great de mand, so mush so much so that it has never been me*. For fear dr imposing on (lie printer I will not give my ideas as to what kind ol seed to use on the different soils, hut nil! give my views at any time called ou. PREPARATION or PLANT BEOS is of great importance. To ere ar two modes of raising plants—in hot bed or open air. To ere is no question that open air beds are chiapeet, aq4 in our latitude, greatly to 'jj preferred for the maiu supply <ff plants, since the plauts sta and truusplanin g belter and grow off quicker. On the se lection of a proper locality for a ulaut bed, and ita preparation, largely depends the timely supply ol strong healthy plant?, without which it is impossible to raise a crop of fine grade,fft,i t, use care ir. selecting spot in (lie original forest if possible, neither too wet nor 100 dry, as rich naturally as you can find, or located to as to possess differ*lit degrees of moist ure. Select aspot near a branch or stream of water embracing both bill side and flat, having a'south ern or southeastern exposure and proleeted by woods ou the north. Clean off well and burn, by the old or new method, enough to oook the soil brown half an inch dnop. Never burn when the land iawet. It trill require from one and a half to two hours to cook the soil properly. Tutu rake off the large cdala and brands, but let the ashes remain as they are a first class manure. Tnen with grub hoe make fine the soil by repeated chopping and raking, observing not to griug the subsoil to the surface, and remove all roots aaid tufts- Manure from (be stable, or hogpen or poultry house should be chopped into and thor oughly incorporated with the soil. Don’t use manures containing grass seed. Be sure lo protect four bed free; overflowing or surf ace water by ditches. In my next 1 will apeak of hastening the growth of plupts, the flea-bug,the preparation of land, and planting. R. T. Pickens. Cherakse’s Election. The following ie the vote from Cherokee emMsty : W.
