The ooitou.gruwer computus of the narrow mnrgin the cotton brings him iviien cotnpnrod with what the cotton c.vst him, and lie longs and waits, and speculates for higher prices. Ilis true policy is to decrease the exj enses that a'.tteuds growing cotton, by providing, first, for growing and raising all the neu essnrios Ins farm will produce, then utting ii what cotton lie can be iiocs. If his cotton fails lie will not "'ani, if it produco well he "ill make money. No demonstration can be mure complete, no truth more ob vious. yet custom, a lazy dislike to change, a disyosition to slip ou in tee old grooves without thought, plan, or effort, keeps the planter poor and a slave to his factor. It will be well, however, for the easy slider to remember tha‘, in the end, ho who will not produce supplies for his own wants will have to sell to those who will. An Editor’s Home.

Correspondence New York Woiid. The whole section ih lens densely pop uluted tlnm any other part of the United States east of the Mississippi, except the m vccwHsible portions of Florida, Ruil* io.kl , are now piercing it from two di rections. U’ithin two years it will bo open to the world. No part of the globe has greater attraction for c ipital. The cotton exposition affords the very first opportunity over given to advertise these refcourees us well no to tarnish u key to the investigation of the region. Doubt less men will lose fortunes there, but other mem will make them, and the day is not far off that the World lifts so long predicted with confidence, when the sec* ti n richest in resources will begin to be rich also m available wealth, in manu factures and belter than all, in a broader civilization. Vai.uk of Money, —Tho public cy phers ou the relative purchasing value of money between the dates November 1, 1878, and November 1 1881. Taking food, clothing, iron, lumbes, etc, it finds that what would have cost $118.07 at the first date costs now $1(17,85, showing an ad vance of 80.04 per eout. And il finds the increase in circulation cor responds. That increase it reckons at $102,487,454 or 88 per cent. Ac cording to this showing tho effect of iricreoasing the volume of curren cy is to beggar tie working man; reducing iho purchasing value of Lis wagi a pari passu with tho in crease m volume of the circulating medium. Prosperity Ahead- Cmcinn.ti Gazette. The capital to be added m the south daring the next two year-, employed in mining, manufacturing and agricnltnre, will multiply the resources of thatection in an unexampled ratio. The census of 1890 will surprise even the most sanguine optimists. Baltimore Airericrm- The tenth census sets at rest any appre hensions which may have existed ns to the tendency of farming in the United States since the change from slave to lreo labor. We will never have in Irish ten ant system in the south. The laud is going to be tilled by its owners. Corr- '.poiuii-r.ee Philadelphia Press. W hen every acre in tbo cotton states shall yield as many pounds ot cotton ns it can -when every pound ot cotton that is raised is paid for—when every ton of seed goes to tbo enriching of the soil that has produced it. or pays its share in some form of its debt to the owner and raiser ot the crop—when the day of high interest shall cease, and when the farmer shall bo able to osoape from the hands of the commission merchant and to buy his goods as cheaply as can the wheat grower of the northwest, then the statis tics of tha cotton goods trade of the world wili show other facts than are now pre sented. Then elieap raw cotton will be a blessing to this oountiy at it is to no oth. er. When a m n‘ J money is gone liis fi lends drop efi' like buttons Irorn a pair of ready made t an's. General News- The suggestion ot u meeting of ho cotton planters of tho South with the Spinners of New England in Atlanta on the 6th of December, is a good one. Tho best one-horso Georgia orop wo have heard of this year is re. ported from Etrly county by the News. It was made by Mr L A Tubley, ou Col Nesbitt's plantation. With one plow animal lie made 25 bales of cotton, 150 bushels of corn, 2,000 pounds of fodder, besides a crop of cane and potatoes. The Valdosta Times says a party of sportsmen of that place have just returned from a five days camp hunt down in Florida with eleven deer, a number of turkeys, and smaller game. At an administrators salo last week in Tahferro county, farming laud sold at from sl2 to sl7 per acre. Official figures show that the on ly States "herein the postal service is self-sustaining are Maine, Massa chusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Dela ware, Michigan, Illinois and Wis consin, Jn tho remainder it is a losing business to tho government- Iu Georgia the receipts were $238,- 902 less than the expenses, but iu Ohio tho deficiency is twiea that amount. Tho man who remains simile ull Ids life has tho satisfaction of know tbat lie has done an unspeakable kindness to one womau—viz., the the woman he might have made his wife. Soniuboby, n -j matter who, says that a woman should be like roast lamb—tender and sweet and nicely dressed, with plenty of fixings but without sauce. Dakota territory will apply for admission to the union as u slate during tho next congress. Tho territory is rapidly filling up at the present lime. In 1880 it had a population of 135,180, which has increase 1 since that time to 165,- 00) or 170,000, Arlcausas, Florida, California, Oregon, Kausts, Nevada and Nebraska were admitted to the union with a population ranging from 50,000 to 123,000, less than that of Dakota. One of the surgeons who atten ded the late President is reported as saying that the bills for medical services will bo sent, receipted, to Mrs, Garfield, and loave CengreoS to take such action as it may see lit in making an appropriatoin in’the pri mises. Mr Gaskins, of Coffee county a member of tho late Legislature, has sued the city of Ahuntu for SIO,OOO as damages received from a runa way horse while attending the ses sion of the General Assembly. How any member of that body could be injured SIO,OOO is a mystery to us. Ho would have to have every limb and his neck broken in three pla es. In our opinion it will be dam ages before the gentleman fully re covers SIO,OOO worth. ic No grander thing can a man do than to give a helping hand to a young man who has been discouro ged. Ma, she Said, confidingly, Henry has asked mo to marry him. And you accepted? wus the querry. No was tho reply, I didn't, and neither did I reject him. If I can keep him on the string till Christmas he'll make me a hadsome present to induce me to say ‘yes.’ You know I’ve been wanting a gold watch for a long time. II F Faruy, the|Cincinnati pain ter, who has spent tho summer with the Sioux, says ho never saw a more jolly | camp in his life than a Sioux village. The men sit in their tepees and smoke, and tell over their battles, and narrate jokes that are received with unrestrained grunts and gurgles of lunghter. Tho squaws are soft-voiced and graceful, and show a genuine moth er-love for their papooses. Farcy met met a squaw when out on a sketching tour, with his Indian guide, who was running to fetch a medicine man, thirty miles away, to cure her sick baby.
