I* ree Trade. The reduction ot internal revenue and the taking off of revenue stamps from proprietar y Medicines, nodoubt has largely benetitted iho consumers, as well as relieving the burden of home manufacturing. Especially is tins tlie ease with Green s August Flower and B<''••bee's ti ermon Syrup, as the reduction of thirty six cents per dozen, has been ad led to increase the size ot the bottles containing these remedies, therein' giving one filth more medicine in the 75 cent size.

A correspondent to the Christian Advocate commenting on the Senate Watermelon Bill concludes with the following sensible and pointed re marks : But the whole question must be taken out of the domain of Commerce into that of concience. Change of venue is as necessary to a verdict here as in an}' case before the courts where interest or predjudieo would embarrass the steps of justice. Even if it were impossible to save all the melon crop by only six days’ ship ment out of every seven, it is better for the laws to honor God than to regard mammon. Six days only are ours. The seventh is the Sabbath, and it can not be appropriated to the melon-growers without its sacri ligious profanation. Public con science, if not dead, must be very callous, when such legislation as the Melon bill does not stir it to indig nant protest. It is a di-grace to the senate, a dishonor to the state, and an insult to the Deity. Melons do not outweigh the ten commandments. Legislators are not sent to Atlanta tii advise us that God made mistakes in making laws tor men. stiii less to abrogate his statutes at the dictation of moneyed interests. The unavoid able drill of such shameless and vicious legislation, is to misedueate the public conscience, and to lift up the creature to the level, and above the level, or divine law whenever money can be made or conveneinee i served by such moral insurrection. \N e have enough of that already,, without further provocation or toler ation. Bather let us stand by the i Sabbath, and guard it un- i friendly citizen or legislate* It is the sheet-anchor of our civilization, and the magna charta of a spiritual Christianity. L. \Y.

On the above subject the Cultiva tor contains the following sugges tions on a line which the Advertis er has often advocated. It says: It is self-evident to all thinking men, who know the common habit of'planting too much poor land in stead of planting less and improving it by fertilizing and culture, that reformation in this respect is ab solutely essential to the greatest de gree of success. It is a fact that men toil from year to year to realize a scanty harvest from extended fields, when if they would cultivate one iialf, or even one-fourth the number of acres and do this wise!}', they would double their harvest and pro duce at one-half the labor. Our advice to such as these is to reduce the cultivation area to one half: apply to it in large quantity such fertilizers as are required to produce a maximum crop of what ever may be desired; cultivate it thoroughly, and turn the remainder of your arable land to rest until tiie natural causes reclaim it from its state of exhaustion. If this policy should be pursued that part of the farm which is cultivated may, in a few years, be made as rich as the richest and increased in value ten fold. At the same time, that which is given up to rest will rapidly re cuperate its wasted forces and will soon more than double its commer cial value. By this rule all is to be gained and nothing lost. Land in creased in productive power and commercial value; the necessary la bor diminished; smaller investments for utensils and work stock will be required ; more time allowed for im provement generally; and an in creased harvest will crown each vear. Adopt this suggestion, “smaller fields and larger harvests,” if’ you would act wisely and become pros perous. liie New York Sun says: “Down in the south there is a whirling of now industries and potent specula tions. No revival, no restoration of commercial strength and properitv: but the birth, spontaneous and tre menbous, of anew people. No long ger the sluggish cultivation of the earth, the hand-to-mouth acquire ment of life'ssustenance by the many, and the selfish affluence ot the few, j but anew and tumultuous life, irre- j sistible, self-multiplying,overwhelm- Hats, Hats, Hats.

These ‘piping times of peace,’ these long dull days of sunshine with nothing to he done and nobody to do it, tiiesc perspiring days of dense shade and palm leaf fans, cots mos j quitoes and dirty socks, these sultry | days of summer, these tire pre-omin | ently the day when the devil gets in his dirty work. Gossip, gossip. In sinuating shakes of the head and slanderous sighs. Other people’s business first, last, and all the time. ‘Skeletons’ are dug from musty closts, polished, renovated and made to ‘act up, lively. Conditions aired and compared. The rich man’s purse and how he filled it, with ac cent on the how. The poor man's mortgage and how it was made by his wife’s extravagonce with accent on the wife. The sinister motive which actuates tho man who drops a quarter instead of a niekle into the church hat. The shabby dress of one who could afford better, and the costly dress on another who would better darn her every-day stockings. The old maid and why she could never marry, and the young widow and how had she wants to marry. What food fin gossip is the widow? With the deepest sorrow upon Ijer heart, with the cold world to contend with for the necessities which husband and wife together could hardlv earn with smirking men and patronizing women to deal with, the widow is entitled to every reasonable doubt. ! But not so in practice. The widow j is slovenly if she dresses indiffer- ' entl v, and ‘fast’ if she dresses well. I If she is out of society she is foolish- ' ly grieving herself away, or, (who j would have thought it?) carrying I out some dark design. If she goes into society she is nearly dead to marry and ought to he ashamed of 1 her forwardness, and whatever she may do or not do it was not that j way -when 1 was young.’ Tried be fore the tribunal ot the gossips con demnation rests upon every one who is not absolute perfection, be the i party man or women, rich or j>oor. high or low, maid, matron, miss or widow. —Dardanelle Post. ♦♦♦ The old Grandmother Insists on mother giving the little one Dr. Biggers’ Huckleberry Cor dial.

Leader in Low Prices and Proprietor of New York Store FORSYTH, GEORGIA. The Georgia Convicts. “Caucasian” writing on the above ' subject to the Evening (Atlanta) Journal in concluding his article says : When murderers, rapists, thieves, assassins and incendiaries are daily I held ii] before the world and to the j rising generation as victims to the brutal laws of Georgia, and the stat j utes of our state are painted so black as would disgrace the dark ages, is it a matter of surprise that the repub lican press of the north should take up thee I*3* and roll it as a sweet morsel 1 under their tongue, and use it as cam : paign material to defeat the demo | cratic party. These are only a few of the dire and baneful sosults which follow tiiis unwise and dangerous agitation of our convict system. If those politicians persist in placing crime at a premium by holding the blackest felons up to the public gaze as deserving of the tender mercies and bounteous support of the honest people of Georgia, and denouncing their well deserved punishment as a barbarous cruelty, a war of races in our state will be the inevitable result. Already has the seed sown by these ambitious fanatics produced the De catur riot of a few days since. And that murderous outbreak of negroes is but the muttering of the storm that hangs over our heads. \Y lien that bloody day comes, as it most certainly will if this miserable form of making martyrs of felons is con tinue!, the blood of every murdered woman and child in Georgia, like ■ that of the slaughtered marshal of Decatur, will cling to the hands of] these designing sentimentalists. In the name of the honor of Geor gia. in the name of the murdered white men by brutal negroes, in the I name of the outraged white women i of our state, in the name of democra- I cy, in flic name of every honest man j in Georgia, yea, in the name of de- j cency itself, I appeal to the members i of our legislature to place upon rec- | ord their condemnation of all this i sickly, sentimental agitation which tends so largely to inflame the pas sions of an ignorant and debased race, and among other things will tax the labor of the honest and toil ing masses in order that felons raav live in ease and comfort.
