The campaign of 92, or the betting end of it, has opened in Thomasville “You will never live to see another democratic president,” said a pessi mist in politics, cn Broad street yes, terday, addressing himselt to two three gentlemen standing by. “I will bet you the finest hat town,” said one of the parly, a gentle man who lost $40, and two nights sleep, on Cleveland’s election, -that we will elect a democrat in 92.” ‘•That’s a go,’’ said the doubting Thomas. And they shook. “Probably you would like to bet another ‘hat, that the democrats will no: elect their candidate, in 92,’’ said a gentleman, whose democracy is of most aggressive lype. “I’m your man,” said the gentlema who was “coppering” Cleveland, And they shook. “This is rather early to start it, but as I was out ten or eleven hats, and numerous boxes of cigars, on the last election, I have no objection to open ing the campaign to-day,by betting you a suit of clothes, that we will lay the republicans out in 92," said a third gentleman standing by, and there was a sort of a far-away look in his eye when he referred to the piles of hats and fragrant llavannas, which he had lost in the list election.

Syndicates are unwieldy things best, and when they came to the hand ling ol such a perishab'e product of the soil as melons, it is not certain that they will work satisfactory. The consumers might forma syndicate, loo, and then the grower would suffer. Sell when you can get a fair price. The wealthy classes, and this in cludes all editors, will soon be don ning their linen dusters, and seek some fashionable watering place, where the summer months will be spent.
