Urol hers mid Sutlers of thn Order of Pa
trons of Husbandry:
As it has fallen to my lot to read
yon an essay this evening, I do so
with the hops that you will bear with
me in my imperfections of a knowl
edge of all the sciences of agriculture.
Farming is the has-,, foundation and
pillar of all the business enacted by
the inhabitants of the globe; all other
classes depend wholly upon the tiller
of the ground for the bread that sus
tains life, and from the earliest histo
ry of mankind, we find that husband
ry has been not only an honorable oc
cupation among men, but tho first of
fering made to the great author of
the uuivorso which was acceptable,
was from tho bauds of a tiller of the
earth, and as brothers and sister, are
we not bound by tho obligation of
our Order to cultivate, not the soil
alone, but tho friendship of our fol
low beings, aud ought wo not to do
all in our power to alleviate the dis
tresses of all; and assist thoso whom
wo may find in file slough of despoil- j
deucy, and try to expel the weeds and
underbrush of ignorance from their
minds as far as in our power lies, and 1
in this respect wo may do a great deal
bv laboring earnestly for our Order,
showing the beauties of out tenets by
our walk, conversation, and preference
for the society of our brothers and
sisters, and insisting on those of our
neighbors and friends not connected
with our Order, to practice economy,
and to educate their children in early
life in the various branches of agri
culture, as well as to bestow upon
tnem a liberal education. Some say
the Grangers are a short lived sect,
and the finger of scorn and ridicule is
daily pointed at us, blit let me entreat
you all as you love liberty, wisdom
aud virtue, not to be discouraged, but
lot us adhere strictly to tho teachings
of our Older, and resolve to stand by
our colors at all buzzards, and nobly
defend our cause. Then ridicule nor
scorn, or anything else the outside
world cau sav, can shake our faith or
daunt our courage, and with these
unshaken, we are sure to march to
victory and win the fame that awaits
all true Patrons, and when the har
vester comss to take up his sheaves
lie will find himself amply rewarded
for all tho labor ho has performed in
the obtaining of them. And sisters,
let us ever bo found strewing the
paths of the cultivator with roses of
smiles and words of cheer, that we
may lend a helping hand ill making
lighter the toils of the day, for I con
ceive there is a work for all, and if we
ever reach the acme of earthly pleas
ure, it will be by a united effort on
the part of all to remove the burden
that has so long oppressed our dear
old State, and let us unite iu dethron-1
ing Queen Fashion, with her trailing ;
tied back, and unite in establishing i
the primitive styles of old, on others
equally as simple, that the burthen of
taxation may bo thrown from the
shoulders of our fathers, husbands
aud brothers, with the farm freed ;
from liens and mortgages, that slier-'
ill's and constables may taunt them
no longer, really, or in their peaceful
slumbers, but may our country blos
som as the rose, and a joyful smile
play upon the face of all, knowing that
peace and plenty are ours, for there is
certainly no place on earth so dear to
the children of husbandmen, as tho
place where they were reared —where
they gamboled and frolicked in child
ish glee around the door of the cot
tage on the farm, swinging on the old
farm goto.
“It was here that tho -urchins would gather
to play
In the shadow nf twilight, or mild summer
day,
Fertile streams running nigh and the hil
locks of sand
Were temptations no dirt-loving child could
withstand:
But to swing on the gate rails, to clamber
and ride
Was the utmost of pleasure, of glory and
pride;
And the ear of the victor or carriage of State
Never carried such hearts as the old farm
gate.”
Beast Butler on Tiltlen.
In an interview with a Herald re
porter Gen. Bn tier said:
lam not so certain of the success
of the Republican party at tlie coin
in'? election. The Democrats will
have a solid Southern vole. There’s
no question about that. Tlie sliot
] ffun in South Carolina and the decis
i ions of the Supreme Court have set
tled that, and all they need besides
an New York and one or two small
er States to insure their victory. Tlie
Republicans cannot win without New
York; the Democrats can. I sincere
j ly hope for a Republican victory, but
I am by ro manner of means so confi- \
dent of it.
Correspondent: Do yon believe'
Governor Tilden could carry New
York against the revolters and Re-1
publicans combined ?
Gen. Butler: Well, I always think j
of the cat story when I hear of fights |
in the Democratic party. Cat-fights
simply results in more cats. I have
no faith in these party dissensions.
[O. P. Baldwin is the author of
that cat illustration.]
Gen. Butler: I wish, however, that
I was as certain of some other future
events as I am of Tilden’s nomination.
Why, just look at it, who‘else has anv
money? And how can a campaign
be conducted without funds ? Gov
ernor Tilden is a very rich man. Ho
has several millions of dollars, with
no one to care for. Why shouldn’t
ho spend them on himself? No west
ern candidate can raise any money,
and Tilden’s supporters will just say
at St. Louis, “You nominate Tilden,
and we’ll attend to the campaign ex
penses; if yon don’t, we won’t,” and
that will fix them.

Brigham Young's Ambition.
More bight on the True Inwardness ol
till* Xew .Mexico Jolt.
From the Galveston News.
Brother Brignm Young, or, as Mrs.
Partington has it, ttigham Young, is
getting tired of the intruding Gen
tiles at Great Salt Lake, and propo
ses all exodus toward tho land of
God and liberty. It appears that his
pioneers, who havo been spying out'
the advantages of now location, have {
already made considerable prepara
tions for the saints ill New Mexico —-
established several settlements in,
fertile valleys, laid out towns, built j
houses, constructed irrigating ditch
es, and prepared the way for a large j
number of other Mormons, who are
expected to follow.
In explanation of the movement, if j
is said that tho arrangement was
made with Brigham Young several
years ago to go to the region travers
ed bv the route of the Texas and Pa
cific Railroad, settle upon and occupy i
it, and ultimately take the contract
for building that portion of the line. ]
It is now argued that the removal of a
large body of Mormons to tho i o .v set
tlements is the result of preparations ;
to resume work upon the road.

serts that Gov. Axtell, formerly oC

I m port tint Decision
The Supreme Court of Georgia lias
recently made the following decision. 1
In tlieso days of poor fences, it is an
important one:
1. In this State tho burthen of]
keeping the premises is geueralley on
the landlord, but patent defects exist
ing at tbo time of the renting, arc to
be amended by him, or at his expense,
without a special understanding. On
the other hand, tho tenant is not ob
liged to amend them without a like
understanding on his part.
2. Where the rent reserve is one
third of the corn and one-fourth of;
of the cotton raised on the premises
in the given year, and at tho time of
renting both parties knew the fence
to be in a very bad condition, too low,
or too weak to keep ordinary stock
from trespassing on the crop, and
nothing is said about building it j
higher or repairing it, there is no le
gal obligation upon either paity to J
mak the fence better. The crop is at
the mutual risk of the landlord and
tenant, each to the extent of his in
terest, and whatever part of it may be
destroyed by stock iu consequence of
the fence not being good is a common 1
loss. The landlord is entitled to bis :
proportion of what issaved, but noth
ing of what in, lost, and so of the te
nant.
How lo Make Barron Trees Frail
fill.
A correspondent of the American
Agriculturist says:
“I wish to describe to you the meth
od of making fruit trees bear, that 1
b’undered on. Home fifteen years ago
I had an apple tree that leaned con
siderably. I drove a stake by it, tied
a string to a limb aud fastened it to a
stake. The next year that limb blos
somed full while not another blossom ,
appeared on tho tree, and as Tim
Bunker said, ‘it sot me thinking,’ and
I came to the conclusion that the ;
string was so tight that it prevented <
the sap from running to the roots,
consequently it formed fruit buds. ;
Having a couple of pear trees that
were large enough to bear, but had !
never blossomed, I took a coarse:
twine and bound it several times I
around the trees above tho lower j
limbs, and tied it as iiglit as I could.'
The next spring all the top above the '
cord blossomed as white as a sheet
and there was not a blossom below 1
the place where the cord was tied. A
neighbor seeing my trees loaded with
pears tried the same method with the
same result. I think it is a much i
better way than cutting off the roots.!
In early summer, say in June or July, ■
wind a strong twine several times
around the tree or a single limb, and
tie it, the tighter the better, and you
will be pleased with the result.
The Drunkard's Will.
Know all men by these presents
t hat I, of the comity To .McckicuSnrg,
and State of Virginia, being of sound
and deposing memory, in view of the
uncertainty of death, do make this
my last will and testament to-wit:
I died a wretched sinner; and I
leave to the world a worthless repu
tation, a wicked example, as memory
that is fit to perish.
I leave to my parents sorrow, and
bitterness of soul all the days of their
lives.
1 leave to mv brothers and sisters
shame and grief, and the reproach of
their acquaintances.
I leave to my widow and broken
hearted wife of lonely struggle with
want and suffering’.
I leave my childred a tainted name,
a reviled positin, a pitiful ignorance,
and the mortifying recollection
of a father who by his life,
disgraced humanity, and at his
premature death joined (he great
company of those who never enter the
kingdom of heaven.
I pray God that those who are liv
ing may take warning and profit from
the above.

COTTON!
Without a Rival in
the South!
Read the following Certifi
cates:
Swainshoro, Emanuel Cos., Ga. Nov. 2, 1871.
Mu. J. T. Cheatham. Last spring J
bought some of your fine cotton seeds. T
have been raised with cotton, but yours is
beyond doubt the finest I have over seen.
It lias .yielded one hundred and fifty pounds
to sixty-five stalks, some bolls with fifteen
locks to each boll ! I want more of the
seed. John Halls.
MnwiT.T/E, Ga., October 3d, 1874.
Mu. J. T. Cheatham. I bought of
your cotton seeds last year at $1 per hun
dred seeds. I would not take fifty cents
per seed and be without them. A man can
make from three to seven bales of cotton
per acre from those seeds, if lie will do his
duty. AY. L. Coleman.
Sumpter, S. C., Sept. 4, 1875. j
I hereby certify that I bought some of ;
Cheatham’s Prolific Cotton seed, and plant- :
ed about one-third of an acre. It is the !
heaviest fruited cotton I ever saw: and I ex- j
poet to gatin'f one bale from the same,
weighing five hundred pounds.
Oconee, Ga., Out. 9th, 1875.
Mr. John T. Cheatham, T> ar Sir. The
cotton seed Mrs. Smith bought from you to
plant an acre of land, had many mishaps.
The evening after planting a severe storm
with heavy rain so packed the land that not
more than one-third of the seed came up: it
was. though, replanted early and the same
misfortune of a heavy rain prevented a stand,
and getting more seed, as you recollect,
more seed for replanting, it was oven a
lourtli time replanted, before getting a
stand, making great irregularity, and of
course with such unfavorable seasons of hot
and dry weather as visited us, such irregu
larity would he disastrous.
Had a pood stand and propitious season
! attended Mrs. Smith’s efforts with your seed,
j we are sure the crop would have been large.
About two thousand pounds of cotton has
; been picked, and Mrs. S. is greatly p’eased
with the cotton, and experiment, and pro-
I poses to enter in earnest for your prize lbr
[ the best acre of your cotton next year.
We find two varieties in your cotton, some
i prefering one. whilst others prefer the oth
er. Your genuine twin or double boll, fruit
| ing so heavily and near the stalk falls to the
I ground, which is. objectionable, whilst the
variety with more stalk and limbs fruits fine
ly, and is now standing erect, this I prefer,
whilst some condemn.
In picking the cotton we find one hun
dred bolls weighs one and a half pounds of
cotton. The bolls are large, and the cotton
holding in. not yielding to storms, is also a
recommendation. Yours in respect,
T. J. SMITH,
Muster of Chi. State Grange.

States All of those events are sure to bo of
great interest and importance, especially
the ldtti r; and all of them and everything
connected with them will he fully reported
and expounded in The. Si n.
The Opposition House of Representatives,
taking up the line of inquiry opened years
ago by The Sun, will sternly and dilligently
investigate the corruption and misdeeds of
Grant’s administration, aud will, it is to be
hoped, lay the foundation for a new and
better period in our national history. Ot
all this The Sun will contain complete and
accurate accounts, furnishing its readers
with early and trustworthy information
upon these absorbing topics.
The twenty-third Presidential election,
with the preparations l’or it, will he memo
rable as deciding upon Grant’s aspiration
fora third term of power and plunder, and
still more as deciding who shall ho the cun
pidate of the party of Reform, and as elec
ting that candidate. Concerning all these
subjects, those who read The Sun will have
tin 1 constant means of being thoroughly well
informed.
The Wef.kly Sun, which has attained a
circulation of over eight thousand copies,
already has its read-.rs in every State and
Territory, and we trust that the year 1878
will see their numbers doubled. It will be
J a thorough newspaper. All the general
news of the day will be found in it, condens
ied when unimportant, at full length when
jof moment; and always, we trust, treated in
Ia clear, interesting and instructive num
uer.
It is our aim to make the Weekly Sun the
j best family newspaper in the world, and we
shall continue to give in its columns a large
j amount of miscellaneous reading, such as
stories, biles, poems, scientific intelligence
! and agricultural information, for which we
nre not able to make room in our daily edi
tion. The agricultural department especial
ly is one of its prominent features. The
fashions arc also regularly reported in its
columns; and so are the market of every
kind.
The Weekly Sun. eight pages with fifty
six broad columis is only $1.20 a year,
postage prepaid. As this price barely re
pays the cost of the paper, no discount can
lie made from this rate to clubs, agents,
Postmasters, or anyone.

news for two cents a copy. Subscription
