lVrlia|»s many a day has gone by since
an occurrence took place similar to Uiat of
laat Saturday—which was nothing more
nor less than a disappointed farmer laking
his two bag* of cotton back home with
him. He came to town early in the morn
ing with the expectation of selling, but on
ascertaining the price, he concluded to
hold on awhile, as be said, until the French
and Prussians ceased their little play across
the waters. Now, as the period of hostili
ties may be very indefinite, the wisest poli
cy it seems for this fanner would be to put
in enough corn the present season to make
hb 1-rcad and mcot another year. If every
planter would adopt this plan, what cotton
would be produced tlie coming season
would realize just as much money as the
most enormous crop. An excess of nWy
artiilc always reduers the priee-. Don’t
you see the ‘•pint?" It’s as plain as the
noonday sun. I-et every farmer make
enough com to supply his own wants, and
if those in debt don’t soon get out and have
money besides, they may take our head for
a soap-gourd.

I’ain is su|iposed to lie the lot of us poor
mortals, as ineviLahle as death itself and
liable at any time to come upon us. There
fore it is important that remedial sgenls
should be at hand to tic used on an eraer-
Ky, when tlie seminal principle lodged
e system shall develope itself, and we
foci the excruciating agonies of pain, or the
depressing inllucm-e of disiai.se. Hitch a
remedial agent exists in the Pain Killer,
whose fame has made the circuit of the
globe. Amid the eternal ices of the polar
regions or Imncath tlie intolerable and
hurtling sun of tlie tropics its virtues are
known and appreciated. Under ail lati
tildes, from tlie one extreme to the other,
suffering humanity lias found relief from
many of its ills by its use. The wide ami
broad area over which tiiis medicine has
spread, attests its value and potency.
From a small Is-ginning, the Pain Killer
hits pushed gradiillay along, making its own
highway, solely by its virtues.
Such unexampled success anil popularity
has brought others into the field, who have
attempted, under similarity of name, to
usurp tlie confidence of the people and turn
it hi their own selfishness and dishonesty,
but their efforts have proved fruitless, while
the Pain Killer is still growing in public
favor.
