Lost Stand etc. But a few Sundays ago while listening to Mr. D. C. Roberts deliver a Sunday school lecture, he gave our place anew name. He said he call ed it Southern Africa. We pause for a moment and wonder wiy he gave the above name. Is it because he thinks it a place of heathens and barbarians, or is it because he lives here? We would like to know if any one ever heard it called such a name until he moved in theoommunicy? We would like for him to explain why and how he came to give I his barbarous and savage name to an enlightened, christianized and civilized place as Rook Branch and Lost Stand. We think the name given by Mr. Rob erts a reflection on the good people here and demands an explanation. Arnica Salve.

BILL OTHOSCHTON Writes Another Letter to The Farmers. 1 wish to say to the editor of The Economist that I want his paper 12 months and longer as I like to read it, like his style of editing a paper and will do all I can to extend its circulation in my section. Now, Mr Farmer, what is the policy to adopt to advance prices of our pro ducts? First, it is to stop using guano and stop these cotton notes due to the gu ano companies of about four million bags of cotton that you sell them when you sign these notes every year at half value of the cotton, which in all pro ability these guano companies have sold to the factories at reduced prices and perhaps have drawn money on them and have it to operate on in summer time when money is scarce with us farmers. Also lets try and raise our corn, wheat, meat and all our supplies at home and not be forcsd to sell at these low prices. I used guauo for about sev en years and saw that I was going dowu hill a little every year and getting lower prices for my products. I had these notes to meet aud had to force my cotton on the market at a low price to meet them. I quit guano and have been getting on a great deal better ever since. I run a one horse farm and made about six bags of cotton last year ou about ten acres of land without any manure or guauo. It takes work aud laud to make cotton, aud work at. the right time. I believe we farmers have given the guano companies in the last 23 years enough of our products to buy all the farms at S2O per acre, aud what is our loss is gain to others. We have uuder the present system grown poorer every year. Lets change this hard living to better living and cut off these low priced products and stiarks who aro getting all we make aud learn to appreciate what is keeping us all a^Ve - E B. Bell.
