TO l AIt.TIEIIS OF HI TTS COUNTY.
On the 9(h day of last January, a
convention, consisting of some of the
b.ist and most intellectual farmers of
the cotton growing states was held
in Jackson, Miss., for the purpose of
formulating and promulgating a plan
which, if accepted by the farmers,
would result in a uniform decreased
acr< pge iu cotton, and a consequent
increased acreage in tho e e crops essen
tial in making our farms self sustain
ing. Now the result oft! is conven
tion was an organization cf tlie farm
ers, absolutely non-partban, the
declarations ot which have already
been published, and are 100 length)
to be copied into this notice.
Under the regulations of this organ
ization a mass meeting of farmers
was held iu Jackson, Butts county,
the 26th inst , and elected ine presi
dent of the. Butts county sub organi
zation. This honor was unsolicited
and unmerited, hut having a desire to
co-operate with my tanner friends tj
aveit the evil that awaits us, I accept
the position. I desire to sav, briefly,
that the policy hitherto pursued by
the farmers of the eoiton growing
states, needs no prophet nor a son of
a prophet to declare it to be suicidal,
and if persisted in not only the farm
ers themselves will be irretrievably
ruined, blit just in proportion as the
success of every enterpii.-e is depend
ent upon tho success of the farmers,
just in that proportion will every en
terprise in this southland ot ours suf
fer. Hence, this organization cannot
he antagonistic wi.li any other voca
tion, and should have their sympathy
and suppor'. 1 trust, therefore, to
have the support and co-operation of
every good man in Butts county in
carrying out the principles enunciated
in said organization.
I hereby appoint the following
named gentlemen as committeemen
from their respective districts, and
request that they take hold of this
matter in earnest, and make their re
ports at the next meeting ot the
organization, which will be held in
Jackson oh Monday, 4th of March
next. Each committeeman will be
furnished by the secretary with a copy
of the bylaws. Committee;

Cured of Eczema.
Julia E. Johnson, Stafford’s P. 0.,
South Carolina, writes: “I bad suf
fered for thirteen years with eczema,
and was at times confined to my bed.
The itching was terrible. My son-in
law got me one-balf dozen bottles of
Blood Balm, which entirely cured
me, and I ask you to publish this for
ths benefit ot others suffering in like
manner.” See advertisement.
RELIGIOUS DEPARTMENT,
Good Times.
Last w eek we bad something to -ay
about hard times, ot which w e hear so
much nowadays. Wu should like to
have a word about good times. How
vety little you h**af* of them! They
seem to be in the past or possibh in
the future. People are given to say
ing, when they refer to s me past
event; ‘‘The times were so much bet
ter then than they are now.” If they
refer to religious matters, they feel
the same way about it, and speak of
the piety and consecration of Christ
ians in t e long ago, and bemoan their
lack of piety and consecration at the
l-reseHt time. This may be true, but
we fear that the persons who talk
this d.-y a e doing veiv little them
selves (o have a lepetitionol these
good old days. Possibly it they would
work more, and pray more, and croak
Jess, they might become pow erful fac
tors to bring about better times relig
iously and morally. But what do
people mean by good times? They do
not mean that the times are good
when they have clothing anil food in
abundance and comfortable houses to
live in. No, no; if they meant this
we should not hear the cry of hrd
limes so often, but many would he
talking of ihe good times.
The apost'e says: “Having food
and raiment, let us be therewith on
lent. But they that will he rich fall
into temptation and a snare, and into
many tooiisb and hurtful lusts, which
drive men to destruction and perdi
tion. For the lo\e of money is the
root of all evil; which while some
‘coveted after, the> have erred from
the faith, and pierced themselves
through with many sorrows.’’ Times
are good then, so far as this world is
concerned, according to the scriptures
when the neee.-ai h*s of life are plen
tiful and money scarce. So we are
living in the very best of times. But
men mean tint times are good when
money is plentiful and easy to get.
Let Christians seek the kingdom of
God more earnestly, and God and
heaven will come nearer, and the
woild will have better tinges than It
lias ever known, though dollars may
be very scarce indeed.

Are you laying up anything? We
do not mean to inquire if you are add
i ig to your civ dit in some bank That
inaj do for present emergencies, or it
may fail you when you most need it;
for banks break and men steal om
treasures, and then it cannot supply
our greatest necessities. But we
tneau to inquire if you are making
any deposits in the bank of heave i.
Are you laying up treasures in lies.v*
on? Then you are doing what the
Master directs, and for which he gives
such admirable reasons for doing it.
Hear him: “Lay not up for your
selves treasures upon earth, where
moth and rust doth corrupt and where
thieves break through and steal; but
lay up for your selves treasures in
heaven, where neither moth nor rust
doth corrupt and where thieves do
not break through and steal: for
where your treasure is there will your
heart be also ” Everyone has the
light to open at once au account with
the Lord.
Lovely and livable.
If you would increase your happi
ness and prolong your life, forget
yowr neighbor’s faults. Forget the
slander you have heard. Forget the
temptations. Forget the fault finding
and give a little thought to the cause
which provoked it. Forget the pecu
liarities of your friends and only re
member the good points that make
you fond ol them. Forget all personal
quarrels or histories that you may
have heard by accidi nt, and which, if
repeated, would seem a thousaud
times worse than they are. Blot out
as far as possible all the disagreeables
of life—they will come, hut they will
only grow larger when you remember
them, and the constant thought of the
acts of meanness, or worse still, mal
ice, will only tend to make you more
familiar with them. Obliterate every
thing disagreeable from yesterday,
start out with a clean sheet for today,
aud write upon it for sweet memory’s
sake only those things that are lovely
aud loveable.
The Secret of tbe Bible.
“The secret of the Bible, its peculiar
secret, is its supernatural grace. The
Spirit breathes from Its pages. We
may have no human theory of inspi
ration, hut was not Coleridge right
when lie said that ‘the Bible without
the Spirit is a sun-dial by moonlight.’
To the end it will be true, as John
Robertson said to the Pilgnai Fathers
when they embarked ou the May
flower, that ‘the Lord has more truth
yet to break forth out of his holy
word.’ After preaching the gospel tor
forty jeais, Spurgeou hands in his
testimony : ‘I have only touched the
hem of the garment of divine truth,
but what a virtue has flowed out of it!’
The word is like ifs author—infinite,
immeasurable, without end. It is
what uo o'her book is, the authorita
tive voice ot the soul. As Coleridge
exclaimed, ‘This book fiuds me.’ Is
not this our evidsnee of its divine
origin ?’ -From. Dr. Pattisou’s “His
tory of the English Bible.”
TWO LIVE A SAVED.
A/rs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City,
111., was told by her doctors she had con
sumption and that there was no hope for
her, but two bottles of Dr. King's New
Discovery completely cured her and she
says it saved her life. Mr. Thus. Eggers,
139 T'loiida street, San Francisco, suffered
from a dreadful cold, approaching con
sumption, tried without result everything
else then bought one bottle of Dr. King s
A’ew Discovery and in two weeks was
cured. He is na’urally thankful. It is
such results, of which these are samples,
that prove the wonderful efhcacy of this
medicine in coughs and colds. Free trial
