tffiE VALUE Or SOUTHERN LANDS.
In looking over an Ohio paper,
yesterday, we found the follow, ng
items in a record of recent sales of
land:
“TO aores in Madison township,
$6,000.”
“160 acres in Orange township,
$14,000.”
“40 aores in Washington town
ship. $3,400.”
“93 acres in Washington town
ship, $4,700.”
While these lands are of richer
soil than the average of Georgia
lands, taking into considi ration
the climate, they arc not so pro
ductive. Yet farmers pay the
above prices for land m Ohio and
by careful cultivation make them
pay a good interest, and that too
in the face of low prices lor pro
duce. In the same paper we And
the following market quotations:
Wheat, 75c; oats, 23e; corn, new,
36c; eggs, 10c; butter, 15c; lard,
9c; country bacon, 9c; hams, 12c;
potatoes, 35c.
These prices look small to Geor
gia iarmers, who growl when corn
and oats get down to 50c. I f Ohio
farmers can make a living after
paying snob prices for land, and
receiving such prices for their pro
duce, Georgia Iarmers ought to
grow rich on their cheap lands.
But it must bo remembered that
the Ohio Iarmers U9e improved
implements, raisedivcrsiOed crops,
raise their own provisions, and
above all give their farms their
undivided time, superintending
every detail and making a full
band in the field. When the farm
ers of Georgia make farming a
business, their farms will be as
valuable as those in Ohio.

W. D. Paris, of Atlanta, lost
both of his arms at the elbow in a
wooden syrup mill when an orphan
9 years old. The owner of the
mill set him to feeding it, when,
owing to the carelessness and ig
norance of young childhood, bis
bands were caught and drawn into
the mill, necessitating the aaputa-
tion of both arms just below the
elbow. Notwithstanding this seri
ous loss be has supported himsell
and family, and has never asked
for charity from bis friends. He
married Miss Sallie Shirab, of
Fayette county, at the early age
of 19, and has two children. He
now 27 years old, and is traveling
for an Atlanta house. He is
candidate for doorkeeper of the
Senate of Georgia, and is improv
ing the opportunity uflurded him
by bis business to become acquain
ted with the mcmhers-elect of the
next Senate and to make bis can
didacy known. Mr. Paris can use
his arms with wonderful facility
writing a good, legible band, and
doing ulmo9t anything that a per
son with hands can do. He says
he has many influential friends,
and is very hopeful of being elected
to the position, which wilt be
great help to him in supporting
his family.

Specially was this true of many large and celebrated Clothing
manufacturers who had made up numerous stocks from materi
als bought on errdi-. These manufacturers placed their faith
on lively and profitable September trade, absolutely relying on
it for funds to meet their maturing paper, which they had given
for piece goods, but the trade did not come, the continuous
warm weather and no customers cooked their “goose,” and there
was nothing left for them to do but to fail and turn their goods
over to an Assignee. It was bad for them, but it is in your
power to make it good for you, for, as usual, when good goods
are to be sacrificed we are always on hand. Our Mr. Joe
VVaxclbaum was there, and notwithstanding the fact that we
were already prepared with a stock of Seventy-Five Thousand
