A Burlesque en Farming.
Tbutuaavlllfl Tiowa.
We sec from the Daily N bws and Ad
vertiser, that it is feared many farmer*
in Dougherty will oot be able to run
their farms this year, on account of
their inability to procure farm supplies.
0, that word “supplies.” It means,
mainly, bread and meaL What a par
adox and travesty it i* on fsrming, to
hear men. who are making it a busi
ness, talking about not being able to
run their linns on account of being
unable to buy the very things which
they are engaged in making—or ought
to be. It surpasses the ken 6t ordina
ry mortals, that men who own and
cultivate the rich and readily yielding
■oil of the South, should forever be
harping about “supplies.’’ Why, gen
tlemen, you ought, by all rules that
govern trade, commerce, and common
sense, raise these things yearly your
selves. Xever will the farmers of this
section loosen the gra«p of the money
lender and the merchant oh their hard
earned earning*, until they become in
dependent in so far as the great staple*
and essential* are concerned. There
are a. few things—atid a few things
only—which the southern fanner is
obliged to buy. God lias blessed this
section with a productive soil, produc
ing, perhaps, as great a variety of man’*
actual—as well a* his artificial wants
—as any portion of the globe; and yet,
►trango and incomprehensible as it may
seem, year after year, farmers who
have at their very doors everything
needful for the production of tbeir nec
essary supplies, will seek the merchant
and ask credit for the very things which
he onght to be offering forsale himself.
When will th'e farmer learn that it is
hi* highest and best interest, to pursue
this course? It docs look like the hard
expcricneo of the post would have
taught him this useful lesson long
since.
Wc allude to Uli* subject now, from
tho fact that the farmers are just now
pitching their crops for '81. Let them
determine that they will so pitch as to
make themselves virtually independent
if they will, this year, make their own
supplies, supplemented with as Urge
an area of cotton as can be cultivated
besides, they will be the most indepen
dent set of men in the country. Start
oat to mako yonr supplies and then
add on as much cotton as yon please;
bnt do not neglect a provision crop^
hoping to make a big haul on cotton
this fall. Nothing could be more soi-
cidaL We know that farmers have a
way ot shrugging their shoulders and
saying: “What does an editor know
about farming?” One moment, friend,
we know little or nothing about the
practical working of a (arm; but we
do know that the farmer, who year af
ter year, buys thoso things on a long
credit and at high rates—and those
who buy generally buy on this bails—
we say that that farmer who haUtnally

Much fear having been expressed
lest negroes should attend the inaugu

in considerable numbers, the managers
announced that tickets have been sold
to but four colored men, riz: Senator

that the price of [admission has been
placed high for the especial purpese of
excluding the colored element. And
thas the anxiety of the Republican
magnates who wish to attend the ball

The Washington Star says there is a
good deal of importance attached in

whispered that the Senator laid, the
corner stone of a new or rather recon
structed Democracy, which is to be
organised for the political battle fields
of 1882 and 1884;, not that the Demo
cracy contemplates abandoning either
their name or their doctrines, but that
the policy of wavering is to be done
away with, and -the doctrine of free
trade or tariff reform is to become «be
shibboleth. The Senator’s speech was
devoted to showing, the benefits of free
trade and the evils of protection, and
those who assumo to know assert that
the West and South are to join hands

Dougherty is a county of large fai ms.
I have heard of comparatively few
small farms here. Many of the plant
ers live in Atlanta, Macon, Milledge-
villc, l’ulaski and up the country gen
erally, leering their pistes with from
ten to fifty and more hands under the
charge of excellent agents. Many rent
out to practical farmers. I know a
good farmer who re“ts land and runs
nearly sixty plows. Of course the
farmers are down-hearted. Their oats
have been generally killed, the weather
has hindered their operations, tho great
Welch & Bacon failure baa rendered
accommodations difficult to be procured
while many have lost their all—others
having to pay the same debt twice by

Albany is a beautiful town, well

They have an excellent steamer, a

ladder company. They have a goodly
number of cisterns, increasing tho en
ter supply by building three new ones
each year. The finances of the town
are well managed. Taxes are quite
tight and all things appear to
have been well managed by the Coun
cil.
The town has quite a business as

that there are more letters mailed here’
than at any other point South of At

order business alone amounts to from
