MURRAY COUNTY GAZETTE. WEDNESDAY MAY, 21 1879. M. F. BOISCLAIR, Editor. Editorial Comment More Indian troubles proba ble. The wheat crop of Texas is very small. Ben. Butler has an income of $75,000 a year. The fruit crop of Arkansas is very encouraging. x ■ v t t The Grand Comtdandery of Knights Templar, for the State of Georgia, met at Augusta this morning, May 21 . The Scotch preacher’s illus¬ tration of a miracle is said still to have a considerable force. “It would be a miracle,” he re¬ marked) “if a coo were to fly up a tree and whistle like a mavis.” It is said that the Republi¬ can State Committee of Indi¬ ana have raised a fund to im¬ port “fleeing blacks” from Kan* that State. They will :er< or election. Cincinnati has spent nearly twenty millions of dollars to build a railroad to connect her business with a people whom the entire press'of the city unite in denouncing as murderers, thieves and traitdrs. •m m The Boston Traveller says that “General Butler is known to be a strong Grant ihian, and in the event of the latter’s nom¬ ination for the Presidency would almost certainly give Mm a warm and active support.” Senator Hill, of Georgia, ad¬ dressed the senate at some length, Saturday, May 10 , upon the question of repealing the federal supervisor laws. The exigencies of the argument led him into a patriotic, wellconsid eredand vigorous defense ,i The sugar and rice crops of Louisiana sold last year for more than $ 20 , 000 , 000 . They were produced on less than one fifth of the cultivated acreage of the State. The sugar crop this year promises fairly, and the rice acreage is slightly in¬ creased. I THE PUBLIC DEBT. The public debt statement for the month of April shows that good progress has been made in the recent gigantic re¬ funding operations. Hie out¬ standing six per cent, bonds have been reduced $143,362, 05(T since the March report.— The five per cents exhibited a slight diminution of $1,835,500; in all $145,096,580. Against this decrease there is an increase of $403,963,700 in the four per cent, bonds, and the new item of four per cent, refunding cer¬ tificates adds $8,103,250 more, a total offset of $107,067,950. This leaves the net reduction in the interest bearing, debt at $38,028,600, and produces a diminution of $4,405,730 in the annual interest payments. The debt upon which interest has ceased since maturity displays an increase of $57,756,950. Going Back to Farms. Just after the war, when in¬ flation prices painted pictures of fortunes in all kinds of city and town vocations—when banking, insurant and. the a genev business wealth' were without supposed yield and when it was believed that fortunes could be made by <f mere- stock: ly organkiag «ome sort company, and putting the shares , on the Market—there was a 1 general flocking of young men: from farms to cities and towns! to get rich without labor. But that delusion has ended in bit terness and disappointment to thousands all over the land, and proved that the game of living! by the Wits is one that very few Can thrive at. We are be¬ ginning to realize that farming poseaes one pre-eminent merit' —it Will yield a living more,, and that is more than Can be said of maiiy city ptirstrits. It is generally esteemed a plod¬ ding) untomantfe business; but this is offset by its exemption from tbe harassmeflts and trag¬ ic features that too often mark the painful aud exhausted strug gle for the maintenance ot cred¬ it and social position in City life. It requires but a small capital to go to farming. This offers a simple solution of the liveli¬ hood problem to all who are willing to work, and it is grati¬ fying to find that the fact is beginning to be realized by ma¬ ny weary of prolonged idleness in cities.—Dalton Citizen., PR ESI A!
