THE ELLAVILLE,GA., KKH.IsStt. A. J. HaRV, Editor and Proprietor. — The railroad established a pin o - between Savannah and cross, (ia. Wo regret that E liter Water son of Louisville Courier-Journal is fl mgerously ill. It will be a difficult mutter to dll his place. “It has been frequently asserted,” says the New York Herald, “that not one of the 60,000 Hebrews in this city is the keeperof 4 liquor saloon.” The deepest well in the world is located at Homewood, Pa. It is owned by George Westinghouse, Jr. Everything found of the nature of gas or water at a depth of 2,000 feet was cased off as unimportant, and the drill at present is said to he a lit¬ tle over 6,(MH) feet below tin* surface. “fluid Times." In treating this most interesting subject, I will take the farmer as the leading topic of discourse, because when they fqil all other business jqen become Insolvent. Why is it that the cry of “hard times” is so often heard? Is it be¬ cause the soil is constantly growing poorer, or is it because nature is t«rdy in responding to our labors? 1 answer no; she responds bountiful¬ ly according to the amount of labor put forth. The farmer receives bet¬ ter pay, for the amount of work he does than any other class of men. Take it the whole year around,some of the farmers will not labor,upon an .pverage, of live days per week. pfouie of them spend about half of their time in going to town. What would tlie farmer think of a mer¬ chant, if lie were to take his gun, go into tlie country and spend two days in the week hunting and fish. lug? The merchant does about twice p.s much work as the farmer. After tlie farmer lias retired, and is snugly snoozing in his feather bed, the mer¬ chant is seen posting up his books, balancing the loss and gain, arrang¬ ing his store, seeing what is best 10 be done with this or that, gnd ear¬ ly jnthe morning before old sol is | seen above tlie eastern horizon, he ! is found in his store,sweeping, dust¬ ing, gild preparing for another day’s business. ^ I think I would be justifiable in saying, that some farmers waste about one half of their tijn ; hence I conclude that farmers are most bountifully paid, according to the amount of labor put forth. Another principal cause is this credit system, and the |ucR of promptness to pay our debts when due tliusjcausingthe creditor to con¬ sume precious time in trying to collect, which time could otherwise he devoted tp the interest of his bus¬ iness. The teacher, tlie doctor after they have worked for their money, spend a great deal of their time in trying to collect, when if all would pay up promptly, they could devote their tiqie to something profitable to them and consequently beneficial to tb< ir country. Mefchants, Bank- e c., Lire men, pay them a big salary, to Ravel tlie country and collect for them. Time ami money are spent at law in try¬ ing to keep from paying just debts. N\ ho pays for alj this ? The debtor, of course. Farmers, you don’t stop to count, that is you don’t seem to appreciate the value of an hour. Borne farmers if they lose a day,they count it nothing lost, because, as they say, “the hoys will keep the plows running.” Now, if you do not place any value upon your own time, then I am sure, the time of Is wortli How much time is lost by people not being prompt in paying debts! To illustrate. A who owes B, ■$?.;>.00, says to him, meet me in Lila- ville next Saturday, and i will pay you. B, Who owes 1), promises tlie s^me to him. Likewise I) to C, < to G, G to J, and J to S. On the ap¬ pointed day all go up to Ellavilleex¬ pecting to be paid. A, who is some¬ what indolent, fails to pay B. B expected to pay D with the owed him, and no on with them Seven men are disappointed, and the whole day js lost, just from tlie tardiness of one man. Such is con- st intly occurring. What a saving there would be if ail would act promptly Would I Suppose the whole world act more promptly in the dis¬ charge of such duties, then instead (if the cry *,hard times,” every store house find barn would he filled with the horn of plenty. Let us be more prompt. Let us have a higher regard (or our >vord. When we promise a man to ddanything, let us not “jogg” along in stupe aid way, but let us put forth our utmost effort to meet pur promise. Another thing peoi pie pay too much for common daily labor. The laborers of the south, receive better pay for the amount of work they do, than any other labor- ^ng class on the face of the earth. h .
