Grass on the farm. A writing farmer says: “Thcrirst> thing I advise for the small farmer ,' is to get ope half bis land in gras*,; for without grnu no farmer *veit | did or ever will live well and njal^e money.” Tliisis sensible talk, says ' the Savannah News. Grass on the farm for pasture and for hay means a herd of good cattle, good beef, I milk, butter, cheese etc., to say . nothing of the vast increase of the manure heaps for the fields and gardens, and it may well be said that no farm r can live well and , make money without these things. Colton, wheat, hemp, corn, rice, etc., have ami may still bc proflla. bly planted on a large scale by cap italists who pay'jio attention to mi-1 nor matters, because they neither I live on, or are entirety dependent | upon their farm operations; but the small farmer seldom has an other resource thaii thfi products rp-rrua anOOOXffXi AHWTJAli DISTRIBUTION TO THE FTTBUC mo mm »t$ ioo Will be sold on Publiq Square, sale beginning SEPTEMBER Slat, f -BT TUB- .&&£&RIGHTS ADVANCE PAYING SUBSCRIBERS WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2nd. 1884.

Americas has a public school system of wliitih its oitizons should fell proud, and one which has won the admiration of. the people of other allies. There is nothing that does so much for a town, morally, socially and financially, as good schools. They attract people of intelligence t. it for the purpose of educating their abildrun; they‘at tract business men, for it is a sfcn of a live and enterprising city; they add to tho population and thereby to the valuation of roul estate. Wc o&nnot Iml attribute much of the growth of Aiuericus tho past few years to her public schools. No greater inducement c»u be held out to attract Northern Immigration than onr public schools, lor these people have been accustomed to such educational advantages,and a lack of them would ho iu llioir eyes a lack of enterprise and liberal pub lic sentiment. Wc know thnt the system is subject to many abuses, and llmt there arc objectionable features iu it. Dut the question is, is it not hotter to try ami correct these abuses than to nondenm tho whole system and attempt to abol ish our schools. In our opinion, to abolish our public schools would bo to take a step backwards, a step that all would Imvo occasion to re gret before many years. In all public enterprises Americus stands in the front rank of Georgia cities, and it is this public spirit which is attracting to it intelligent people, who in tboir turn aid in its development. As to the expense, there Are no schools; North or South, that are run so economically as they are. Tho taxes for its maintenance are not onerous. The poor cannot af ford to see these schools closed, for in no other manner can they give tbeir children an education at so so .fell a cost. The wealthy can not afford to see them,closed, for they are doing much to add to the value of ail property. Without dis cussing the moral effect of public schools upon a community, we as sert that Americus cannot afford to abolish its public schools, nor do we.believc that its citizens will con sent'to do it. years,‘ after tho slockiag of our faring, to put the South in compe tition with tho North In all tho great markets, in supplying beef, hides, butter and cheese. its well ns blood, cd animals lor the thousands of farms yet to bo opened, bo 4 nititlc, be*t result*.

The Mseon Telegraph, in view of tho fact that It is probable that the next presidential campaign will be fought upon the tariff question, urges tho pcopio lo thoroughly ex amine this question, in order that they may act understanding!)-. It says “at present there is fearful ignorance upon nn issue that will compel tho study and examination of tho best minds ot the country,” which is true, as is evinced by tho fact thnt even the able Telegraph calls tariff reformers “free traders.” Hut it Is a lamentable (act that nor. one out of a h mu red voters have given the tariti question any study or attention, and the people generally rely too much upon party platforms for their political faith. Every‘voter ought to cast, his vote intelligently and give a reason for the hull) that is in him, and to this en 1 should examine as carefully as he can into the questions of the day. There is a vast deal of difference these days, between studying poli ties and studying the principles of government. We would like to sec the tariff question carefully exam ined by every voter, for wc believe it would eonviiicc a majority of them that the policy of protecting one class of industry at the expense of another class is uot In accord ance with a Democratic form of government. The Uuttcr, Cheese and Egg Convention in session at Cincinnati contains representatives from twen- y-one States. The President stated that the butter products of the United States is $352,000,000 an nually ,thc cheese products $36,000,- 000, mid the eggs and poultry about $35,000,000 ~ , Congressman Crisp is to be con gratulated. He was one of the Georgia representatives who did not introduce a bill last Monday. It is a mistaken idea many mem bers have that they must introduce bills. The truth ie, they are sent to Congress to keep bills from be. ing introduced. cneu. | m), mi u, j,, «*lth edmd j«i'*l-m(nt • I m thown in tho on/rovln^. it U th*> uvro of Mu* BULL BOG CIGARS. by Goo.
