The poople ol Early rounty will
pay this year for guano §50,000, for
meat §40,000, for corn §10,000, for
mules and horses §10,000—amount
ing in all to the sum of §110,000.
To pay this with the cotton at 8J or
0 cents.it will take about 2,500 bales.
With this amount to go out of the
county, leaving the farmers with
empty cribs, poor stock and no
mont for another year, the prospnot
is indeed gloomy. Yet it will be no
worse than it has been for many
years. With $25,000 laid out aDd

can bo saved with §20,000 than
§40,000 will buy, while mules oan
be raised nearly as cheap as cows,
and oorn can be produced for 40 or
50oeuts per bushel. Still iu tho
face of all those advantages, we live
and die poor. No wouder.

Handersville, aug 28, 1831-
I saw Gen. Joe Johnston on the
street to day, says a YVushington
letter. He ie as straight as nn ar
ro-v and the only Bign of age is seen
in his silky gray hair, wbicn flows in
silvery curls almost to his shoulders,
uud in his full gray beard. Other
wise ho might pass for a your.g man
His dignified step is firm, his eyes
bright uud his health aparenlly per
fect. Ho is now 77 yours of age,
but he does not look over GO. He
lives on Connecticut avenue, one of
the Bwell streets of the capital, and
is I suppose, in comfortable|circum
stances. I called upon him to ask
him about the origin of the confed
erate buttle flag now over a year ago.
Ho told me then that it was only
partially his design. Said he : "At
tho battle of Manassas—you North
orners call it Bull Run—ibe Stars
and Bars proved a failure, because
they were so much like tho Union
colors. Indeed, both armies mis
took their enemies for friends, oud
vice vorsu. After tho battle I re
solved to discard tliL flag a*nd called
for each regiment to procure its state
colors. This they were not able to
do, and I asked the army for new
designs. Among those presented,
one by Gen. Beauregard was cboseu

dies for tbeso rude experiences. His
first counteraction is deep plough
ing. He Bays: Deeply ploughed
lauds receive, when rains are abun
dant, into their subBtuuce all or
nearly ull the water that fulls ; none
or little runs oil from the surface.
Such lauds have the>efore a large
storehouse of wuter, from which
plants may draw their supplies—
crops will stand a drouth better tor
this season. But the further the
water sinks into the substance of the
soil, the smaller is the amount which
the hot sun of summer will evapo
rate. Twelve iuebes beneath the
surface, the soil is much cooler in
the summer than the surface, and
bonce if the soil be once saturated
to that depth, inaoh less water is
dissipated and lost by solar beat
Deeply ploughed lands, therefore,
uot only receive into their substance
more* wuter, wheu ruius are copious,
but hold this water with greater grip
and tenucity.
We believe this is also Mr. David
Dickson’s theory, and that he has
saved many a crop by putting the
idea into practice.
Pursuing this branch of tho sub
jset a little further, the professor
says : “Wheu the atmosphere can
descend deeply into the soil the cool
soil deprives the aqueous vapor of
heat, and so converts it into wuter
and deposits it just where it is most
needed, about the rootlets of plants
Iu other words, in deeply ploughed
lands dew is deposited iu varying
quantities all the time about the
roots. Here is another reason why
crops stand drouths better iu deep
ly ploughed lands.’’
The deeper herefore you plough
your land the more moisture will be
drawn up from below by capillary
attraction. These are somo reme
dies. The advantages are philo
sophically stated.
The professor believes that
drouth acts upon the eurlh pretty
much as an enforced aod lengthen
od abstinence from food, during
somo forms of fever, acts upon the

A year of hard drouth is sure to
bo followed by a year of plenty, “the

Wherefore, if it does not raiu for
some time yet, try to endure the

ward to a year of abundance, which
will also be a year of happiness and
prospeiity, if Cleveland is elected.

Spicy Election Telegram*.
The intense excitement that raged
iu New York may be imaginod from
tLe subjoined telegrams.
New Yonn, November, fl.- The
newspaper offices are still beseiged
with gaping and shoutiug crowds,
eager to devour every bulletin as it
appears Tho night wns bittorly
cold, but tho meu who had shout
ed themselves hoarse on the one
side or tho otli r thought not ol tho
weather, uor of their own discom
fort.
"Republican Treachery and Ven
geance,” was a conspicuous line iu
one of the after uoou placards, aud
other Huob announcements and ac
cusations, tending to stir up popular
torment, woro hung out for the pub*
lio gaze. At timas it seemod us if
the excitement engendered on both
sides by the delay, suspense, doubt
mistrust and dosire, would lead to
hostilities.
The Democratic National Com
mittee has issued an address which
states: "To the people of the Uni
ted States:—Cleveland and Hen
dricks aro elected with 219 electo
ral votes.” The address names <be
states whioh have given Democrat
ic majorities, including New York
and New Jersey, Connecticut, Indi
ana nnd West Virginia. The address
concludes thus : “No fraud or con-
trivauco can defeat the will of the
people of the United States thus
publicly and deliberately deolured
Senator Gorman was serenaded at
tho Fifth Avenue Hotel this evening,
In response to calL for a speech, he
said “Cleveland hud been elected
He added: “One President, duly
elected, bus boon deprived of his of
fice by fraud ; but uuch a disgrace
never again will be permitted in
this couniry.”
At midnight the crowds are still
in front of the newspaper oflices,
and the oxcitement and oheering
still continues. Such ferment of
public feeling was never before
kuown at an eleoliou in Now York,
whioh is due chiefly to the closo-
UGS.s of tho contest aud consequent
doubt as to the result.
Albany, November 6—The Argus
says: "The declaration of the Guu-
vassing Board of a State makes tho
roturu of that state valid, also only
the certificate of its electorai vote,
whioh is receivable. The Cauvuss-
ing Boards ol L^emooratio States
will lot no fraudulent and false Votes
be lyinglv declared the vote of that
State. But the voto will be declar
ed, certified and sent forward.”
"The Democratic House of Rep
resentatives will let none other than
true votes be counted to Blaiuo. It
is just as well that these facia be
told betimes now. No fraudulent
aommission will put James G.Blaine
in tho WLito House or keep Grover
Cleveland out ol it. The men who
attempt it will be killed and tho le
gal consequences of kiiiiug them
will be taken care of aftei wards.”
Governor Cleveland s id; “I be
lieve I have beuu elected President,
and nothing but the grossost fraud
can keep mo out of it, und that we
will uot permit.”
Gen. Carr, Secretary of State who
lives in Troy, was seen at his house
this eveuiug. IIo said: "There is
no ohanoe of stoaliug this State—
uot as long as I have charge of af
fairs. I don’t propose that any
body shall steal this State. If Mr.
Cleveland has a plurality large or
small, he will got it. The same is
true with the other candidate. I
don t propose to play any Southern
game. No matter whether it is
friend or foe, with me, he has to
have his justice."

timated at $250,000. Such a storm
as thut of lust night has not been'

A wedding in high life was cele
brated recently in the everglades, in
which Laughing YVator, the young
t old <
dsugbter ot old chief Mioco, was the
bride, and a young Seminole brave
was the groom. Our young people
of course, are most interested in tho
trousseau of the bride, aud the style
adopted by the dude who was made
a husband. Tho bride wore her hair
braided with beads of various col
ors and fizos, which were deftly
strung upon the hair before braiding.
She wore as a weddmg dress a large
woolen shawl of gay red and yellow
colors, so wrapped about her body
as to drai e it to the best advantage,
the fringed edges coining to about
her knees; and her small feet wore
encased in rich braided mocca
sins. That was all of hor dress.

Thomas Q. McAfee, a dashing Dub

and were married. To get away
from all danger, they moved to Min

McAfee in St. Paul. The first Mrs.
