Mobley is in attendance up on Talbot Superior Court ibis week. —Hamilton is visited by a great many Commercial Tourists. —Mr. Geo. I. Seoey has again made Em ory College an object of bis bounty, having authorized Dr. Haygood to draw ou bim for 320,000 to ereot a building needed by the college. —Of the thirty names drawn as Grand Jurors for the approaching April term of Harris Superior Court, twenty four are found on the subscription books of the J u rnal. Ouly five of the Traverse Jury subscribe for it, although most of the thirty six read it ragular'y. This shows the char acter of our circulation. —The looii of the Columbus Eoquirer seems to get in o bis happy mood when writing of the Merchants Exchange of his city. —Some wit has said that Mr. Hayes came into the Presidency by a majority of one end went out by unanimous consent, —New York furnishes the world with forty thousand drummers, who distribute nearly a quarter of a million of dollars dai ly in the way of travelling expenses. —lt is a real treat to see the beantiful array of candy and, fanty gioceries dis played by the JDromgoola Brothers of Columbus, whose {unique way of advertis ing has attracted the notice of our readers. And it is a rel pleasure to buy of gentle men who are so considerate and polite to their pa'rons. When you go to the city call on them end feast your eyes on the many delicious articles they offer. Tueir p ace of business is only one door above Hunt B others. —A gentleman iu town last week with e drove of mules informed us that he was going to Texas to raise mules. He says the cost of raising mules for the market there is almost nothing. Wny can they not be ruised as cheap hfere as in Texa: ? Wbat bet ter use cau our extensive pastures and Cane brakes be put to tbu pasturing oolts. --When asked what was his position on the tariff question, Secretary Wiudom re marked that while one ought to have well defined views on the tariff, it was also true that it is a question that changes somewhat with the varying necessities of the gov ernment, the condition of our manufactu res, the balance of trade and commercial intercourse with foreign Dations. He had never been a free trader, and bad always been for a proper and reasonable protective tariff. ‘‘But,” said he, “the tariff is a bus iness question purely, and it is an impor tant element in the administration of the duties of tbe treasury; so, as to a further expression of my views, I must refer you to my actions on the question aa it comes np.” The Usury L,aw. Tbe Atlanta Constitution very properly insists that this is the right season to dis cuss tbe an just usury law of tbe state, as it is at this season tnat its hardship is felt by tbe class for whose protection it was made. It' tbe forbidding of a bigb rate of interest than sight per cent, carried with it the power of gettiDg money at that rate, tbe law might with some reason have some advocate, But it does not, and those whc are not willing to pay a high rate, or who cannot give sufficient assurance that they will do so, are debarred from borrowing. Jinny farmers are in this condition, and while it would he greatly to tbeir advant age to borrow money at one and a half or two per cent, per month, thy are for ced to buy supplies from the merchants on time. It is an nr jnst law which allows tbe merchant to place a bigb a per c-nt of profit as he pleases upon bis merchandise, while the hanker is limited. It is time that our law makers should learn that sup ply and demand, ought to and do reguiate ti~e price of commodities.

Cotton is at present about the best mon ey crop our planters ond raise, but it is a suicidal policy to raise all cotton. The crop of last year was the largest ever known,notwithstanding the unprecedentedly bad weather for picking, but thanks to tha era of general prosperity it has been dis - posed of at a fair price. This season the planters are using more fertilizers, and the winter having been bo bad as to prevent many from putting in as large an aoreage of gram as they desired, thus leaving more land available for cotton, it is more than probable that the ootton crop for this year will be larger than that of last. Indeed the outlook for this is every way better than last season. Labor is more easily control led, aa there is less political excitement, the oold winter and heavy snows have put the ground in better oondition for sustaining plant life and even with the same area in cotton as last year the outlook is for au in creased crop. But the ootton belt is ex tending so rapidly that without any of these favorable signs, we might safely esti mate upon an enlarged aggregate. We all know that a large crop means a low price. This being the case, the far mer who puts everything in ootton is noth ing more than a speculator—a g tnbler. By making his supplies at home, be saves in more ways than one. Every acre in corn, peas, cats or other food orups, meant a smaller area for ootton. It means less westers produce and more southern bog and hominy. Take the substantial farmers of the community and they make their sup plies at home and let the cotton crop rep resent as nearly as possible the net profits of the yea/a operations. There are men with genius to oontrol freedmeu, who succeed well with an all cotton crop, but with less genius yon had better not follow their example. Upon the furnung class depends the prosuerity of this cotnutry and our keen ai preciation of this dependence prompts this note of warn ing. In your farming o peration be as econ omical as yon e-m, buy tm little on credit ns possible, plant such a divirsily of crops as to utilize every ray of sunshine or every drop of water, and our generous soil and climate will insure for you, in the fortunes of a bountiful providence, a better financial condition at the end of the year than at the beginning, and upon your success and the succes of the farmers individually of the South depends its hopes for restoration to its pristine glory as an agricultural commu nity. It is time that we appreciated the fact that the farming community can do more to advance our material interests than the politicians. Literary Notices. —The Southern Farmer’s Monthly grows more interesting as it grows older. It is worthy of a place on tbe reading table of every farmer in the land. —Godey, Peterson and the Domestic Monthly, for April, have reached as. They are all up to the usual high standard, and either would prove a treasure to auy lady in the land. —Oar old favorite, tbe American Agricul turist is as interesting in its April number as ever before. Th_ South has muoh to learn from tbe farmers of the North, and the Agriculturist is an excellent exponent of its best ideas. Oar readers will be nade beiter farmers by a perusal of this sterling publication. —Golden Days ia the fitting title of an excellent weekly publication for boys and girls. While it is intensely interesting for yonths, it is as pure and healthful in its ooutents as the most fsstidions parent could desire. We like it. A sample copy oan be dad by sending your name to James El verson, Phil-del phi a, Pa. President Garfield. The inaugural address in full will be found on our inside pages this week. It is an able and almost unobjectionable doc ument. We are willing to heartily assist President Garfield in many of the meas ures proposed. In tbe education and ele vation of tbe negro, in extinguishing po iigsmy, in maintaining a pure ballot, be will have the hearty co-operation of all our people. If he will visit tbe south, and we extend to him a cordial invitation, be will disabuse his mind of some erroneous no tions, which bis address shows him possess ed of, and place himself in a condition to do us simple jna'ice. This is all we aak of him or could have expected of a democratic administration. An infallible remedy for Fever and Ague is Ayer's Ague Cure.
