Americus Recorder. THIRD ANNUAL , Beelth'e Cae«. Md what (he Bev. Mr. MtKIaMrr kaa to lay aboat lb iter Court?. SUNDAY. DEC. 91, Louts Kosutb, the distinguished M»gjr patriot, Is dead. Birmingham, Ain., enjoyed "the novelty of a sitoir storm, it lew dsys ■Who says farmlag don’t pay? Got. Eaton, of Colorado, cleared $50,000 on his farm this year. The New York Morning Journal says white slarery in that city is worse than black slavery ever was in the Booth. That staunch old veteran Demo, oral, Capt. Mayes, of the Plains of Dura, wants to see Gen. McClellan mads Secretary ol War in Presi dent Cleveland’s Cabinet. We second the motion. Notwithstanding the popular bellel that there is no such thing as imprisonment for debt In the United States, a man has been con- fined in Ludlow street jail, New York, six years for the non-pay ment of a trifling sum. The Bouse of Representatives at Atlanta is at present engaged in an exoiting contest over a general looaLoption temperance bill. As we have had no opportunity of be- oomlng acquainted with the pro visions of the bill, we cannot say how wisely our legislators ate spending their time. The Montezuma Record says Congressman Crisp is receiving so many letters soliciting aid in ob taining a government Job that be thinks of employing a clerk to as sist him in answering them. If many pf those who apply for gov ernment positions would work as hard at something else, they would getjrfolbv An advance of 16 cents per ounce has taken plaoe in the price ot quin ine in job lots, bnt the retail price oi the drug will probably not be af- feoted. The advance is caused by a rise in eiuohona bark and a com bination ot manufacturers and im porters. As quinine has been ab normally low, it is thought the pre sent prices, $1, 16 to$l Upetounoe will be maintained for some time. The lard and hog meat trade of Cincinnati last year was firom 80 to 90 per cent: greater than this year. This tact aceounts for the diflerenee In prloe in favor of the Southern buyers. If our people will bny their smoke house supplies in the West, we are glad that they can get them at moderate prices. The light shipments of freight this way also works to the advantage of the people here by giving them cheaper freight charges. If any thing can help the Southern ootton farmers to stand ihort crops and low prioes, it will be low prices for the provisions they are compelled to buy. The cotton circular of C. L. Greene A Co., of Now York, dated December 18, estimating the crop foi; 1883—i, arrives at its figures by averaging twenty-six distinct esti mates. These are forwarded to them through tho medium of 1,400 replies to inquiries, from the nine ootton States, the eight principal ports and the nine leading interior towns. The average estimate of ths 8 Wes 1s 6,739,000 bales; of the ports, 1 6,880,080 hales; and of the interior towns, 6,868,000 bales. The average of these last three av- etagea it in round numbers, 6,800,- 000. The circular, by the same process 1 of estimates, arrives at the acreage for the orop 1884-6, tho rain fall up to date of October 1,1884, and the average crop condition up to same date. Taking this date and com paring with that of the correspond ing date In 1888, the cironlar esti mates the crop of 1884-6 at about the same at that lor the season Just closed. The circular says: “We make no claim for infallibility on this rule, bnt simply give the re- salteaa support to those reached tfcroag h other ohannels.” •raLgafeuapf Ions, to try jrewr Crncvitt .6 somehow ft tittle coarage. wMkilbMUto MO• permsnent Improvement.
