It seems to me the printers Get everything they need— (Except money.) They get the hugest and the best Os everything that grows, Cet free into circusses And other kinds of shows— (By giving an equivalent.) The biggest bug will speak to them No matter how they dress ; ' A shabby coat is nothing If they own a printing press— (Policy.) At ladies' fairs 'they’re almost hugged By pretty girls you know ; > r I hat they will crack up everything That ladies have to show (Bully.) And thus they get a blow-out free At every party feed ; And the reason is because they write An d other people read. (That’s what’s the matter.) What to do when you are in Trouble. Don’t try to quench your sorrow in rum or narcotics. If you begin this, you must keep right on with it, till it leads you to ruin ; or if you try to pause, you must add physical pain and consciousness of degredation to the sorrow you seek to escape. Os wretch ed men, his condition is the most piti ful who, having thought to drown his giiefiu drink, awakes from his de bauch with shattered nerves, aching head and depressed mind, to face the same trouble again. That which was at first painful to contemplate will, al ter drink, seem unbearable. Ten to one the fatal drink will be again and again sought, till its victim sinks a hopeless, pitiful wreck. Work is your true remedy. If mis fortune hits hard, hit you something else hard ; pitch into something with will. There’s nothing like good, solid, absorbing, exhausting work to cure trouble. If you have met with losses, you don’t want to lie awake thinking about them. You want sweet, calm, sound sfoep, and to eat your dinner with appetite. But you can’t unless you work. If you feel like work, and go a loafing all day io tell Dick and Harry the story of your woes, you’ll lie awake and keep vour wife awake by your tossing, spoil her temper and your own breakfast the next morning, and begin to-morrow feeling ten times worse than you do to-day. There arc some great troubles that only time can heal, and perhaps some that can never be healed at all; but all can be helped by the great panacea, work. Try it you who are afflicted. It is not a patent medicine. It has proved its efficacy since first Adam and Eve left behind them with weep ing their beautiful Eden. It is an official remedy. All good physicians in regular standing prescribe it in cases of mental and moral disease. It operates kindly and well, leaving no disagreeable sequalloe , and we assure ; you that we have taken a large quanti | t v of it with most beneficial effects.— ! It will cure more complaints than any ! nostrum in the materia mcdica , and j comes nearer to being a “ eurcali” than | any drug or compound of drugs in the | market. And it will not sicken you I if you do not take it sugar-coated.— Scientific American. XtST Tire Christian Union, Beech er’s paper, says: “The best service that can be rendered to the South, politically, is to let them alone. Disabilities should be swept away at a blow. There should be no more Federal interference with local affairs.” That’s about all we ask of Mr. Beecher’s party of moral ideas. If they will just let us alone, socially as well as politically, there will be no thing to prevent us from getting along harmoniously and peaceably. Web ave no objection to their higher law notions, their woman's rights, ne gro equality, modern witchcraft or spiritualism, tree love, nor to any of their revolutionary or demoralizing isms, if they will be content to enjoy them to themselves. Even if that hot-bed of isms, New England, should want to secede from the Union and set up for itself, so they do it quietly and honestly we will endeavor to bear the separation with Christian resigna tion. W e are perfectly willing to ac cord to our Nothem brethren every right and privilege we have ever claimed for ourselves if they will just jet us alone—and allow us to manage our local affairs according to our own way of thinking. —Savqnnah News. An unusual scone was witnessed in the Northern Methodist Church at Washington Sunday, it being the baptism of a Japanese law student named Cadama, but who is now known as John Phillips. After being baptized he was taken into full mem bership by Dr. Eddy, he having serv ed the requisite probation of six months. ■ ——<•» .*>» . Mental pleasures never cloy; unlike those of the body, they are in creased by repetition, improved by re flection, and strengthened by enjoy ment. CARROLLTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 17, 1872. Co-Education of the Sexes. President White, ot Cornell Universi ty, who has heretofore given consid erable attention to the subject of co education of the sexes, has lately been visiting nearly all the colleges and universities in the country where the experiment has been tried, and lias closed his tour of observation ful 3y convinced in the belief that the system may be adopted with safety, and with a fair prospect of extended usefulness. Mr. White*-ite.s the ease of thVacademies and high schools in the State of New York, in which young men and women of raarriagea ble age have been educated together ‘rom time immemorial, without the first case of scandal. He recalls the scense of his own college life at New Haven, wire re the few lecture rooms that were shared with young women were pleasanter, with loss noise and rowdyism than those from which wo men were excluded. He visited 01 er lin and was much pleased with the conduct of the two or three hundred young men and women whom lie saw there in their large dining hall ; and this he considers a remarkably good test of their civilization. He heard the clearest and best reading of Taci tus by a woman at Oberlin that he ever heard, which to him was evi dence of a clear strong mind. At An tioch College, and at the Universities of Michigan, .Wisconsin and lilnois, the uniform testimony was that the women fully equalled the men in their attainments in the different branches. Prof. Wood, of civil engineering, in the Michigan University, lias practi ced offering a prize for the solution of a problem in higher mathematics ; for several years the problem has not been solved, but this year it was sol ved by a woman. A gentleman who * • accompanied President White, and who proposes to bestow $250,00) on Cornell University as a fund for the education of women, thought that the women excelled the men in the powers of acquirement ; but the President remarks that the young women were singled cut, while the young men were taken as they ran. Several of toe officers cf the Western colleges, who had commenced the coeducation of the coxes with many misgivings have become favorably impressed by the practical working of the system.- Oneida Circular. Deleg ation to Congress in Behalf of the Great Western Ganae. —The survey of the contemplated route of the Great Western Canal being com pleted, Colonel McFarland, the Chief Engineer, has gor.e on to Congress to submit his report to that body. The delegation from the several towns and cities in this State are making active preparations to foliq\v him, to use all their influence in this important enter prise in getting the recognition and endorsement of Congress. Besides a committee of five, appoint ed by the National Commercial Con vention, there are from this State a delegation of twenty-five or more prominent and influential citizens who have always been leading movers in public enterprises. The State Agii caltural Society appointed Col. Thos. Hardeman, ot Macon, Senator Stead man, of Covington, and Col. Atkinson of Marietta. Mayor James, of Atlanta; Mayor Screven, Savannah, and Mayor Iluif of Macon, will all lend their personal influence by attending as delegates. Mi icon sends live delegates, Atlanta j three, Savannah three, Covington two, Brunswick two, Borne two, Miiledge ville one. and probably Athens also will send a delegate. It is the purpose of the Atlanta delegation, Messrs. Frobel, James and Gordon, to leave this city about next Wednesday or Thursday, so as to reach Washington City on Saturday, and they earnestly desire that the del ogation from other cities may meet them promptly in that city, to co-ope rate with them in the interest of this great enterprise. Prejudice.— llow many of our opinions are influenced by early bias! llow few of us can claim that we are free from the taint of prejudice! It is the enemy ot truth, ihe chief obstacle to science and philosophy, the foe of reason. It is a veil which clouds per ception, a moral narcotic which stn pefies conscience. It blinds judges, and defeats the adiuinistrucii of jus tice. It is the parent of intolerance, bigotry. It enables unprincipled men to rise to dangerous eminence, and is the most essential and potent bulwark 'of oppression in every land. Its eradication can not be too early or | earnestly sought bv those who would inculcate sound economic principles among the masses. The town bell at Saratoga can be ! heard at a distance of twelve miles. The Outlo k for 1372. The year 1871 has proved to the planter a failure, so far as his pecunia ry interests were involved, and we very much fear, as far as any salula. ry lessons in that dear old school of experience are concerned. It was a short crop year in every department of Southern husbandry. In despite of all the glowing news paper accounts that the freedmen were working well, and that every thing indicated a returning prosperin' we have for an “exhibit” a balance sheet which will soon lead to bankrupt cy. A short crop, with high wages and heavy taxes, is a bad opening for the new year. A great many planters were forced to put their cotton on the market to meet liens and other liabilities earlv in the season. Many who have held over have been tempted by the high prices lo speculate in fertilizers and plunge in for a big cotton crop for IS 72. We have been amazed by the quantity of fertilizers now being trans ported into the iq per districts, lor men who, heretofore, have never veil tured a do lar in such experiments Notwithstanding the admission, that fertilizers were generally a failure last year, the system of drumming and advertising is pushing these coin pounds into notice as persistently, al most, as these modern pocket-picking contrivances —insurance companies. It is worth nothing, that a large amount of the fertilizers is bought on q credit, and must be deducted from the profit of the next crop. Thecred it system has ever been the heaviest drawback to our prosperity, ai.d not withstanding every man almost will agree with you on this point, nine out of ten will be unable to resist the temptation. The corn crop of 1871, was also a failure, nearly every depot in the back country is full of corn, selling readily at $1,25 to $1,40 per bushel. The wheat crop was a failure, and ten bar rels of flour are sold where one used to bo, at prices ranging from $8 to sl2 vs. $5 to SB, ante bellmn. Thousands of barrels of Irish pot a toes from the North, have been sold in the country at from $2 to $3 per bushel, when every man could grow his own potatoes if he would try.— Ilay in large quantities has been brought from the North to feed hors VS in a country where the people ex pend their best energies i:i killing grass. The Yankee trooper, who is billeted upon us, to hunt down ku klux s£nds to Maine for wheat or rye straw to bed his charger, in a country where the straw piles left by the “travelling thresher,’’ may be seen rotting on the old fields of every neighborhood. II unclerds of thousands of dollars has been sent to Kentucky and Ten nessee for mules and horses, to be kept on Western corn, to grow South ern cotton. Thousands of dollars have been sent out of it for agricul tural implements, seeds and Yankee notions, which arc practically hum bugs. We are constantly encouraging all manner of lotteries, gift enterprises and swindling insitutions gotten up pro Dono publico. .Upon the back of this we have a heavy tax upon every kind of industry—a regular system of taxation which comes down as inevi tably as the law of gravitation upon the planter. Nor does this complete the catalogue. Take a look at the sales of real estate advertised in all the newspapers of the State—for tax es, for debt or for removal. Mark the prices at which property sells, compared to the prices assessed for taxes. Take a run over the. State and note the dilapidated condition of the buildings, the broken down fences, the waste places grown up ip weeds and briers, the new clearings, the miserable log cabins stuck upon every hillock, without a sign of thrift or comfort inside or out—in most eases, without even a “wattled” garden or a pine brush enclosed truck patch—no hogs, save a pet long snout or razor back ; no sheep and few cattle, and answer us candidly, if the outlook for 1872 is encouraging enough to go it all on cotton and sleep soundly. We are either the most hopeful or the most incorrigibly people under sun, or the experience of the last five years would have convinced us that we are on the road to ruin. Our women complain of want of work, while millions are sent North annually for ready made clothing.— Our shoemakers and tanners have turned to farming, because their trades ‘ do not pay, while millions are sent North for shoes at higher prices and for meaner articles than “ante belhtm.” Our blacksmiths have gone to the field, while we go to the store for horse shoes, nails,lap-links, heelscrews ! false coulters and clevises, j W e are daily becoming more and more hewers of wood and drawers of water for the capitalist. Is there no remedy ? Yes, learn to keep out cf debt, leans to live, as much as possi ble, upon our own resources. Estab lish our indcpendance. and then, cap ital will seek us and aid us. We are poor and might as well acknowledge it. and come down to our work. The day of big planting is past with most of us, and the man who plants on borrowed capital is gambling, with about as much prospect of winning a prize, as a subscriber to a grand gilt enterprise probono publico, [it is well to look even the most desperate circumstances squarely in the face. It is useless to shut our eyes to a disagreeable outlook. We cannot keep them always shut, and the ugly spectre will not move away. Our correspondent, whose age, exper ience and high character and stand ing, we may add, entitle his words to a most respectful consideration, is not inclined to ignore the unpleasant facts which stare him in tin.* face ; but he wishes to turn them to some good ac count iii the way of lessons and warn ings. We beg our readers to make use of them to that end. Now, though we cannot call in question the correctness of our cor respondent’s picture in its general outlines, and as it appears from his point of view, we mint say that we think lie lias shaded it too darkly and left out of view the lights, which, just as surely as the shadows, make a part of the landscape. Let us look at things as they are. While we should not ignore the dark side, neither should we contemplate that alone.— There are hopeful signs in the midst of the general depression. There are some rational farmers and some pros perous ones. There are planters who make their provisions, raise their own stock. There are some who are. out of debt and others who are striving manfully to get out of debt. There are some who are anxious to *®learn the better way and to follow it There are nearly a score of agricultur al periodicals now published in the South, each of which has many thous ands of readers and all of which are teaching, in the main, sound doctrines in farming and rural economy. The good seed sown is slow in germina ting, perhaps, but it has not all fallen in stony places or by the road side.— It is springing up here and there and will grow and ripen, and the harvest will bring back prosperity to the | South. In the meantime heed the lesson which the writer of the forego I ing article so ably enforces.— Elk] — ! Rural Carolinian. Profits of Farming - . Our correspondent, “ A Country Merchant, ’ makes a dismal showing lor planters who are doing business on borrowed capital ; but while the chances may be far worse in Georgia and the South than they are in the North and West, we believe it is uni versally true that fanning on pure credit is a short cut to insolvency, lie says that two thirds of the planters in Georgia who have been farming on a credit s-iucethe war, are now hope lessly insolvent or fall behind everv r * year, and he calls for a remedy. There is no remedy short of a hero ic exercise or industry and retrench rneut. We once heard of a small farmer who worked one of debt and paid off his liens by an absolute cessa tion of the personal expenditures till the result was obtained. He and his family emerged in rags, and on low diet, but he “ got out of debt"—never went in again and died in peace and plenty. Working out of debt is climbing ‘-The Hill of Difficulty ” it demands a self-denial, fortitude, courage constancy and dilligence which comparatively few are capable of, and yet the other alternative of sinking under the surface, of its black waters is more appalling still. An idea is very common that the Legislature—or public meetings or banks and capitalists may excogitate some efficacious measures of relief for a people overwhelmed in debt; but it is altogether useless. Ten to one they will only make the case worse in the long run. The man who got into debt so easy as tailing off of a log, must scramble out of it as best he may or he goes down for ever.— Telegraph 4* Messenger. G2r” A doctor and a military officer became enamored of the same lady at West Point. A friend asked her which of the two suitors she intended to favor.

We, the Liberal Kepubicans of the United States, in National Convention assembled at Cincinnati, proclaim tne following principles as essential to a just government. We recognize the equality of all men before the law. and hold that it is the duty of the government in its deal ings with the people to mete out equal and exact justice to all, of whatever nativity, race, color or persuasion, re ligious or political. 2. We pledge ourselves to maintain the union of these States, emancipa tion enfranchisement, and to oppose any reopening of the questions settled by the 13th, 14th,end 15th amend ments of the Constitution. 3. We demand the immediate and absolute removeal of all disabilities imposed on account of the rebellion, which was finally subdued several years ago, elieving that universal amnesty will result in complete pacifi cation in all sections of the country. 4. Social self owernmem with im partial suffrage will guard the rights of all citizens more securely than any centralized power. The people and the public welfare require the snprem acv of the civil over the military au thority, and freedom of person under the protection of the habeas corpus. We demand for the individual the largest liberty, consistent with public order, for the State self government and for the nation a return to the methods of peace and the constitution al limitations of power. 5. The civil service of the Govern ment has become a mere instrument of partisan tyranny and personal am bition and an object of selfish greed. It is a scandal and reproach upon free institutions, and breeds a demoraliza tion dangerous to the perpetuity of republican government. C. We therefore regard a thorough reform of the civil service as one of the most pressing necessities of the hour; that honesty capacity and fidel ity const it ;fie the only valid claims to public employment; that the offices of the Government cease to be a matter of arbitrary favoritism and patronage, and that public station become again a post of honor. To this end it is im peratively required that no President shall be a candidate for re election. 7. We demand a system of Federal taxation which shall not unnecessarily interfere with the industry of the peo ple, which shall provide the means necessary to pay the expenses of the government economically administer ed, the pensions, the interest on the public debt and a moderate annual re duction on the principal thereof; and recognizing that there are in our midst, honest but irreconcilable differ ences of opinion with regard to the respective systems of protection and free trade, we remit the discussion on the subject to the people in their Con gressional districts and the decision of Congress thereon wholly free of Executive interference or dictation 8. The public credit must be secure ly maintained, and we denounce rep udiation in every form and guise. 9. A speedy return to specie pay ments is demanded alike by the high est considerations of commercial mor ality and honest government. 10. We remember wtih gratitude the heroism and sacrifices of the sol diers and sailors of the Republic, and no act of ours shrill ever detract from their justly earned fame or the full rewards of their, patriotism. 11. We are opposed to all further grants of lands to railroads or other corporations. The public domain should be held sacred to actual set tlers. 12. We hold that it is the duty of the government in its intercourse with foreign nations to cultivate the friend ship of peace by treating with all on fair and equal terms, regarding -it alike dishonorable either to demand what is not right or to submit to what is wrong. 13. For the protection and success of these vital principles, and to sup port of the candidates nominated by this convention, we invite and cordial ly welcome the co-operation of al] patriotic citizens without regard to previous political affiliations. Horace White, Ch'm. of Com. on Resolutions. G P. Thurston, Secretary. Make a Note of This. —ls you wish to make any purchase, don't go away from home to do it.

That is the way to build up a lively business in your own town, and bene fit yourselves as well a3 others. Every dollar spent in a town is ol an advant age to a place in general, and every dollar spent abroad for articles which could be bought on as favorable terms at home is like taking so much capital out of the business interests of the place.
