Oreely was a foot ever to have consented to return to this torrid country. Some people never know when they are well ofl. While the price of cotton is low the proceeds of a bale will pur chase as much now as when it brought twice its present price. There is more joy in the cditori si sanctum over the ninety aud nine paying subscribers than there is Jn one ordering his paper stop P«d- _ As an example of the careless ness of mankind, we sec it stated that a New Yorker bet that he could get the signatures of ten highly respected citizens askinp the Governor to bang a leading clergyman and won without dilli cutty, as not one of the signers in. aisled on reading the paper. The Republicans are hiring bun dreda of negroes in Virginia to go to Ohio, ostensibly to work in the coal mines. It is expected that the miners will be wanted to help dig the Republican party out ol the mire. The Democratic inarm, gers have their eyes wide open and are taking measures to block the game. All the college professors at Princeton except four have de. dared for Cleveland, and this is the case with nine-tenths of the professors of all the leading col. leges,although they have nearly all been Republicans over since 1860, The virtue and intelligence of the country can’t be easily deceived as to thh real character of the Re publican nominee. 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. Macon has been without rain for 60 days. Rice-birds tell in Darien at 16 cents a dozen. It is said that there is not a Jew residing in Johnson county. The notices of marshal's sales in Atlanta for November, fill 17 col umns of the Constitution. 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.

Xexleo Parched hr Drouth Saltillo, Mexico, Oct. 8 News from Monclot a district says thst the terrible drought throughout that portion of Coahulla continues unabated. Mankind and live stock are suffering the greatest distress. No lain has fallen for over a bun. dred days. All small streams were dried up weeks ago, and the deepest wells have become exhaust ed. Vegetation has almost ceased to grow, and corn is selling at $1 a busbel. Many persons must starve unless assistance is render ed. For an area of 200 miles square it it believed not a single busbel of grain will be reaped this fall. Corn stalks only knee high are withering. Usually at tbit time of tbe year corn is about ripe. The people gatner in chnrcbet twice or three times daily and pray for rain. Charitable organizations are doing little or nothing toward re lieving the distress.

WHOSE SOLVENCY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOUNDED ON IN DE8TRUCTABLE ROCKS OF UNLIMITED CAPATAL AND UNQUESTIONABLE CREDIT, Tottered and Fell in a Day! 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 Dollars, we bought Thirty-Three Thousand more in Boys, Chil drens and Men’s Clothing, Dry Goods, Dress Goods, Fancy Goods, Corsets, etc., at prices varying from 30 to 60 per cent, of the actual value.
