they will be able to keep it out of the

A. Card.
Editor Banner—In your valua
ble paper of January 1st, 1878, we
noticed under the items of County
Court proceedings: State vs M. J.
Morris, common cheat and swindler.
Nol. Pros.
Now allow ns to state in justice to
Mr. M. J. Mori is that the person who
took out tho warrant against Mr.
Morris on the above charges, begged
publicly his pardon before the case
was called, staling, that he made a
mistake in the person, and hoping
that he would forgive him.
We feel it our duty to make this
statement to clear his name from
public prejudice.
Respectfully yours,

Hand Hire.
In Georgia, the average wages of
full hands, men, iu addition to ra
tions, are 88,31 per month, and 44
cents per day. The average number
of bales of cotton made per mule on
the wages system is 4 4-10, oh the
share system 3 5-10. Of the farm la
borers employed this year 32 per
cent, were employed on the wages
i system. 42 per cent on sV.ares. aivd
26 per cent, as renters. The wages
system was most satisfactory to 69
per cent, of these farmers whose re
plies were obtained, the share system
to 13 per cent., and the rental sys
tem to 28 per cent. Of the laborers
the wtiges system was most satisfac
tory to 60 er cent., the share system
to 20 per cent., and the rental sys
tem to 20 per cent. Stock can ho
raised most successfully under the
wages system, according to the opin
ion of 88 per cent, of those consult
ed. The average per cent, of farm,
labor employed iu making and re
pairing fences is 6 7-10 per cent.
The percentage of those in favor of
enclosing stock, instead of crops is
62 per cent.
From this brief and inadequate
summary of tlie Georgia Commission
er’s supplemental Report for the year
1877, it will be seen not only how
painstaking an officer he is, but how
extremely useful such a department
is to the Government and people of a
Slate. The Government is kept
thoroughly informed as to the re
sources of the territory under its con-*
trol, while the people are furnished
with a wealth of useful knowledge
which must be of incalculable bene
fit in guiding their efforts to secure
comfort and piosperity.— Monroe

A Gentle Hint.—In our style of
climate, with its sudden changes of
temperature—rain, wind and sunshine
often intermingled in a single day—it
is no wonder that our children, friends
and relatives are so frequently taken
from us by neglected colds, half the
deaths resulting ^directly from this
cause. A bottle of Boschee’s Germau
Syrup kept about your home for im
mediate use will prevent serious sick
ness, a large doctor’s bill, and perhaps
death, by the use of three or four doses.
