The political outlook is very dis couraging at first thought: As has already heen stated in our columsn, three elections have been held this meatfc, the results of which were al ready very well known. Arkansas gave a democratic majority of about 60,000 over all apposition. Vermont gave a republican majority of 25,000 and Maine f 0,000. The pecpledid not expect any other result. Arkansas being clearly democratic and Maine and Vermont being situated in the very heart of republicanism. Life of Hr van and Sevrall.

We serious ly doubt if any j'oung man lu this country knows comparatively any thing about hard time* at this day and ago, Jf some of them had to hoe ■ potatoes, fight gnats, hunt cows, haul hay; turn grind slotnes, stir up log heaps bofore breakfast, go eight to twenty miles to mill in cold weather with nothing on but tow linen breech es ami shirt, walk four miles to Sun day School barefooted, or chase an old flee-bitten gray more through wet weeds, brush and grass an hour every morning before breakfast in corn plowing season, thresh oats and wheat with a flail and blow the chaff out of it with a blanket or sheet, and slide off of the toe bf a number 9 boot every time they made a misstep by accident or otherwise, drink coffee made of scorched wheat or corn, tea made of sassafras, sage spice or ditta ny, corn bread made without salt or soda, they would begin to conclude ihat t lk- v were familiar with hard times, had a knowledge of sorrow and were acquainted with grief- Yes hoys, this country can truthfully boast of wonderful improvuients in thirty years. In Memory of Little Inez Turk- Little lac/ was only one year old When to Heaven she was called We miss her but we know she’s at rest In Heaven above among the blest. She was called in early Mav, When flowers bloom, but not to stay, Ere long they wither and soon they die And on the cold earth they must lie. The time seemed so short, for a darling so loved But Heaven be thanked, we know she’s above With angels she’s praising her Father up there, O, Heaven, sweet Heaven, so bright and so fair. We know she’s at rest on the other shore Giant we may meet when this life isore There to dwell with loved ones forever Where death or parting ne’er can sever. Grant we may meet our darling some day In Heaven above where she’s guided the way We pray to meet as angels above In that land of light beauty and love. E. Its Value Uoeognized by I'liyslcians. In a recent letter to the manufact urers Mr. \V. F. Benjamin, editor of the Spectator, Rushtord, N. Y., says' “It may be a pleasure to you to know the high esteem in which Chamberlain’s medicines are held by the people of your owu state, where they must be best known. An aunt of mine, who resides at Dexter, lowa, was about to visit me a few years since, and before leaving home wrote me, asking if they wore sold nere, stating if they were not she would bring a quantity with her, as she did not like to be without them.” The medicines referred to are Cham berlain's Cough Remedy, famous for its cures of colds and croup; Chain bsrlain’s l'ain Balm for rheumatism lame back, pains in tlie side and chest, and Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarhoe Remedy for bowel complaints. These medicines huv„ been in emstant uso in lowa for almost a quarter of a century. The people have learned that they are articles of great worth and meiit, and unequaled by any other. They are for sale here yb R. TANARUS, Thomp son, merchant, Homer. Commissioner K. T. JNosmtc today is sued tho following manifesto on the subjtvt. “To thFormers of Georgia and the Smoh: A few years ago we were con fronted by a gigantic monopoly, tlie bagging trust, which tried to force from the farmers thousands of dollars which they, in their depressed condition, could ill afford to lose. By united efforts on the part of the farmers this evil was averted, and the octopus, which had fastened itself on the agricultural indus try, was destroyed. “Today we are confronted by similar trouble. The manufacturers of cotton ties have formed another great combi nation, and without any cause except to gratify an unlawful greed, have agreed to raise the price of their goods 100 per cent. If the price of iron had advanced there might be some reason for this ac tion, but iron was never cheaper, and the same may be said of coal and labor. The fact is simply that an effort is being made to force the farmers of the south to contribute millions to swell the profits of a powerful combination of manufac turers. The farmers are in good condi tion just now to tight this trust. They have their provisions. There are few debts to be met until later, aud there fore no pressing necessity to force their cotton on the market. I wouid advise that they hold meetings iu every section of the south aud denounce this attempt to deframl them of their earnings. At the same time let them advise together •s to what is the best way to meet this new enemy. Meanwhile this depart ment will make investigation us to sub stitutes for cotton ties, as wi 1 meet the requirement* of durability and safety. •‘(Signed) R T. Nesbitt; ‘•Department of Agriculture.” After careful investigation and the reception of encouraging letters from farmers in all sections, wo issued the following,': “Atlanta. Ga.. An?. 21 —To the Farmers of Georgia: This department has been investigating the question of Substituting wire ties for the fiat ties heretofore used in baling cotton, and I believ now that a satisfactory solution of tlie question has been reached. I now urge upon the farmers of this and the cither cotton glowing states to meet together in their respective counties and devise plans for securing wire ties. If necessary delay packing your cotton for u short time in order that you may get the wire ties, “The following letters explain the matter. The ties used by Mr. George W. Truitt are made by tlie Continental Wire Company, Laclede building, tit Louis, Mo. They weigh 1H pounds to the bundle and are offered at 50 cents a bundle (30 ties) on the cars at St. Louis in car load lots or CJ cents in smaller quan titles. “The ties recommended by the Farm ers’ Alliance Exchange of South Caro lina can be purchased from Washburn & Moon Manufacturing Company. 241 Pearl street, New Yo.ik. They weigh 87 ’ A pounds to the bundle and will cost 90 cents a bundle laid down in Atlanta. Any further information desired will be cheerfully furnished upou appl ca tion to this department. “It. T. Nesbitt, Commissioner.” Sir. Truitt writes that the wire ticr are a success in every particular, and Mr. Duncan, manager of the Farmers’ Alliance Exchange of South Carolina, urges its adoption at once. Many other letters indicate that it lias been given a favorable reception, and has stood tests as to strength, durability, and in jury to bugging. The heavier wire is preferred. WORK FOR THE MONTH. Push the fattening hogs. Every pound of flesh gained as the weather grows colder is mudo at additional expense. Ilogs which are ready for tho knife tho lirst cold spell make tho best and cheap est meat. Give them variety of food and see that they are kept in clean quarters, with plenty of pure water to drink. Give an occasional dose of cop peras, and keep ashes and salt mixed dry where they can easily roach it Fall oats should be sown—the land well pre pared and fertilized. Also put in the crops of rye and barley. Whore the lo cation is suitable tho grasses and clovers should also lie sown. They require rich land and a lino, deep joetl bed. Gather the cotton as carefully as circumstances will admit. The prematurely opened bolls will require more care than is us ual. Don’t gin when damp, and don’t leave exposed to the weather. U. T. Nesbitt, Commissioner. CONDITION OF THE CROFS. Tho Cotton Crop W|l| Not Itn r. < la?rjjo Wu lispeotml—Good l’rlcc* Cuming. COTTON. The bright prospect of a month ago has vanished, and the present outlook is about as poor as it could bo. The rains of July produced a vigorous growth of weed, and during that month the plants were taking on fruit rapidly aiul tlie outlook was encouraging for a large crop. About the first of August the rains ceased, and thou followed several weeks of tho hottest weather ever ex perienced in tiro state. In addition to tho heat, came drouth, causing tho plants to shod leaves, forms and even young bolls. So hot ami dry has tho weather been that many of the bolls have opened prematurely, resulting m gr mt loss. It is oilfieuk to estimate tho damage to tho crop. Rains now cannot add uuy fruit to tho plants, but might enable the half grown bolls to impure. Avery conservative estimate would bo 23 to 30 per cent off from what was promised on Aug. 1. From tho bad re po ts from all the cotton growing spite the present outlook is for a crop but lit tle if any in excess of the last. If tins estimate is correct cotton should bring from 9 to 10 cents a pound to the farmer, and I believe that price will bo reached whenever Liverpool recognizes the disaster that has befallen the crop. CORN. The very fine promise of a month ago, relative to this crop, has been somewhat curtailed by the drouth and heat of Au gust, The greater part of the crop was secure, when the drouth came, but a bonsiderable amount of late planted corn, has been injured, and even that which was planted in good time, wouid have filled out. and made heavier corn, had the heat and drouth been less se vere. Nevertheless tho state is blessed with a crop sufficiently large for all or dinary purposes, and there v. ill be no need to import corn for man or beast. Fodder pulling is over ex - pt in tlie more northeru counties, am! this valua ble product has been saved in fine con dition. SORGHUM, SUGAR PARK, ETC. These crops though injured bv Phe heat, are in fairly good condition, and promise an average yield. Grinding of the former will very soon commence in North Georgia. sweet potatoes, etc. Sweet potatoes will be abundant, though in some eases those planted late will make nothing. Gardens, as a rule, have burnt up, and very few turnips have been sowed, the lack of moisture rendering it impossible to properly pre pare the ground. Ground peas and rice have both made fair crops, being well advanced toward maturity before the August drouth came. FRUIT. The Georgia fruit crop, except apples, has all been marketed and at prices which probably left a fair profit to the growers. STOCK. Condition good all over the state, with very few reports of sickness of any kiml. Plenty of corn has a ten dency to keep stock in good order and healthy, au t following the fine corn crop of last year, tho department has noticed a great diminution iu the re ports of cholera and other diseases among hogs, and hollow bora, hollow tail, etc., among cattle.
