Clue good lady, as we were leaving, said to me, ‘‘I want you to send me The Herald and Advertiser,” and add ed that she read the Constitution and other papers, but she wouldn’t give The Herald and Advertiser for all of them, and I find ibis to be almost the universal verdict of the ladies. I often feel cramped when people ap proach me and ask if I am still the agent for The Herald and Adver tiser. I have to answer, “No.” Bus iness should be done in a legal way, and for that reason the paper loses many good subscribers. I am requested through a letter from Flat Shoals church, Troup county, to say that there will be a three days’ singing at that place, commencing on Friday before the fourth Sabbath in t his month.

Business is moving along smoothly. Farmers are nearly through with theii j work and in a few days will be ready to j enjoy t heir holiday. They are all look- j ing forward to a better state of affairs j but this can only come when they j stop buying on credit, and when their: smoke-houses and corn-cribs are full, j Then our country will be as it was in times of old when the people lived at home and were independent of the Xorth and XVest. The farmers may do all they can, but until they make up their, minds to raise tlieir own supplies they cannot hope to get out of debt and become a prosperous and happy people.
