—We have had several days of
the coldest weather we have had
in years. The thermometer regis
tered 8 deg. Sunday morning.
Dogs are great pests, and
sheuld always be left at home
where they belong. They nose
round everything about n storo,
and when they are ready to go,
just a? soon as not jump through a
window and smash u light.
...... t
Our farmers think if the cold
weather has not killed the small
grain, it will be a great benefit to
it in retarding the growth and
causing it to spread. It is a good
thing for the spring crops as
it loosens up the land and is
almost equal to a good plowing.
t *
—There is less cash in the coun
try than we have known fer years,
and business in consequence is ve
ry dull. Tho greater portion of
tbe cotton crop is sold and the mo
ney used ir. payment of debts, ei
•pent for supplies. The only sav
ing clause iu the matter is, that
there is a fair amount of corn in
the country and more meat than
has been in a Lng time. Added
to this, there is a large grain crop
sown, which will come in in time
to bridgo over, sa it is net as dis
couraging as we have often had it.
—People give more excuses for
drinking whisky than for any oth
er vice in the land. They drink,
they say, to drown trouble, and to
intensify their joy when everything
goes well. They drink to drive
the beat out in summer and to keep
th* cold out in the winter. They
drink wheu they are sick te make
them well, and drink when they
are well to keep them so. But,
when it is brought down to hard
pan, they drink because they love
it and nothing else.
—Capt. John Hart has, in the
last few days, added nearly a hun
dred head to his already fine flock
of sheep. Capt. Hart has a largo
amount of the very best Bermuda
pasture land, and will go largely in
the stock business. His herd of
cattle is now exclusively Jersey, of
which he has a number of choice
cows and heifers lie will add
hogs and colts, and in a few years
will have one of the best general
stock farms in the State. It takes
time, care and close attention, but
it is the nicest and most pro
fitable business a man eau en
gag* in.
