IS D.F.AD EVKKY WEEK BY ME XHOSBAJCD FAMILIES HE BEST SECTION' OF GKOUGIA. STEADY, FRONT. HUMBUGGING FARMERS. ^jf&DAY EVEN'INK, JANUARY 30. rge Metis, a young printer who erly worked iu the offl -e of the awltinsville Despatch, died recent b- iu 'Brazil. A brace of thorogli-bred highwaymen robbed Mr. P. Wall, of Jackson county of twenty dollars while he was returning ' from Athens recently, After many delays work has recently commenced ou the North & South ‘Knilroad and the Hamiltonians will Boon hear the enort of the iron horse. The gin house of Ex-Gov. J. M. Smith whs set on fire on the 18th, and ’before the flam :s could be suppress ed, nearly one hundred bales of cot- ‘ton were destroyed. The State Agricultural Convention will meet in Hawkinsville on the 18th day of February. The citizens are ma king extensive arrangements to enter tain the delegates. It is averred that a five cent uickle costs only a ceut and a quarter, and they were legalized for the benefit of the owners of a New Jersey nickle mine. In Japan the 4th of J uly is now a general holiday, becanse on ibat day was fought the decisive battle of Uyeno, iu ;tlie contest which resulted in the es tablishment of the temporal power of the Mikado. *9My U ~ ■■■■■■ Hold right still, stand firm, dont budge, a jot, nor bat your eyes. That i; an easy triumph whieu comes of non- action, and cheap if it costs nothing, and better thau cheap if it pays. Dont wait for cooperation, nor call a con | v tntion, nor draft formal resolutions, nor play the game of ‘ ‘fellow my lead, er,” but simply fix the purpose in yonr individual minds and, the result will be virtual cooperation. Fix in yonr minds the rational purpose to buy no guano at a price above yonr ability to pay, nor ou terms that seem hard. Be sure to understand the contract thor oughly, and approve it - fully, or de cliue it altogether. That is business. To presume that it is safe because a neigh bor so thinks, is not business. Be owes it to himself to do his own think ing and his neighbor is in a like cat egory. A time trade which yonr judg ment disapproves, or even doubts, will prove lingering vexation. There should be two parties to a contract in every' case. Hitherto there has been only one. The manufactner has made the stuff and the prices and the terms. His right to price his goods is not questioned, but the planter is not bound to buy. Let him hold it at his price and be as comfortable as he ean. Guano increases production and di minishes prices. Probably 4,000,000, of bales would bring more money than 5,000,000, and certainlr less of it would go to pay debts. Last summer in prospect of an insufficient snpply for thirty days at the close of the cot ton year, prices hounded up so as to mane speculators dizzy. But the new crop was early and there came no thir- .y £ davs of famine to the mills, and pri ces iveou; d so as to make speculators dizzy again. This indicates,(what cannot be reduce. to figures) that prices might go awav yonder, if only less cot ton should bo produced for one year- Clipper. fit is believed that several further con ferences will be necessary before a de finitive treaty between Russia and Tur key can be signed. Rnssia's wording -makes it of superior authority to the treaty of Berlin, thus placing 'Turkey- under the direct influence of Russia. Miss Lee, daughter of the late Gen. Robert E Lee, is said to be an energet ic traveler. She was not long ago eu- tertaiued by Lord and L uly Napier, at Gibralter, and a few weeks before ■was within the Rnssiaus lines in Tnr key. Sham, Ham and Joseph will illustrate three “Christian Graces”, or Sin, Satan and Death,” at Jolks’ Hall in Hawkins- ville daring the meeting of the Slate Agricultural Society in Febnary. Shem, Ham, and Joseph are a trio of • •bally boys,’ and promise us a lots of fnn.—Dispatch. Albany Advertizer: Yesterday was a gala day, owing to the arrival of a steamboat, the first upon the river iu many years. Nearly a thousand persons at-tke river to meet the Mary Elizabeth. A number of children from town and country feasted their eyes on the fir st steamboat they lmd ever seen. The captain of a ship recently arrived at Queen town reports that on the Kith dust-ant, when fifty miles west of Fast- net, he saw a steamer, with about one hundred and fifty or two hundred men, apparently English, aboard, alongside of a burning wreck. He was ordered to continue on his course and say noth ing on the affair of penalty of being al so burned. A sadden spread of the plague in the Orient has alarmed tlie rulers of the Jenntineut of Europe, and already the Governments of Germany and Austria .have sent commissioners east to exam ine and report upon the apparently westward moving pestilence, with in structions to suggest proper checks and preventives. This is taking time by the forelock, but not a m- raeLt J oo soon if the acoouts of the spread of the Spourge are to be relied on. It is stated that the Chaplain of the Maine House of Representatives elec trified that body the other day by pray ing that God would give the members grach ‘‘to stop speaking when they got through.” The St. Louis Republican thinks he “ought also to have beg ged that He would, teach them not to speak at all unless they had somthing to say, for if the rverage legislator ne - hr speke except when he had some lii lg worth saying, and always stopped when he had said all he had to say, thore ijrould be much less complaint about tong sessions. ” ]• BUYING VOTES. Several papers in the state are wast ing a good deal of gash in condemning the practice of buying votes at elec tions. Now we believe it iainfinitely less wroDg to pay a darkey fifty contain legal tender silver for his vote than to give him false premises of office,jtocial- equali ty, or forty acres and a mule,-, »nd we are glad to state that the vote market has come down to a cash basis, and that the devices of the Radicals are now at a great discount with the intelligent colored voter. We believe that our kiml government gave the ballot to the colored citizen with the express inten tion that it should be sold to the best and highest bidder, and if the darkey prefers a cash transaction to a big prioe to be pail wbeu the millennium comes, it is so much better for him, if it does pinch those who care nothing for him except to be kept in power through his votes. The Howard Association's Reports. —The Chicago Times fills seventeen of its columns with the report of the Howard Association of New Orleans for the year just closed, reviewing the la bors of the organization during the epidemic, giving the particulars, the progress of the plague, the number of people attacked and their nationality, with tables showing the amount of mony received and the sources whence it was derived, The report is very interesting, and shows' iu admirable maruer the excellent discipline and organization of this association. The total amount of money recievod by the association was 8383,429. The report .states that so liberal were the contri butions that the association was not only enabled to discharge all its obli gations, but to make something like an adequate compensation to the physi cians who had volnmarily given their services id behalf of the afflicted city. !-* If every farmer in the land could read, and prcjil by, the accounts given in the American Agriculturist daring the past year only, of the various spe cial frauds upon farmers, it would, in the aggregate, being a saving of hun dreds of thousands of dollars to the far ming community. There is claass of swindlers whose operations are rSTr.CIAI.LY DIRECTED TOWARDS PALM ERS. It is no refheiion upon the intelli gence of farmers that this is so. These rascals know that all kinds of fish are not to be caught with one bait; hence they operate npon clergymen, doctors, merchants, and farmers, each in a dif ferent manner. It is sale to predict that there is a new set of t raps ready to catch farmers, Of late years the “agency” dodge has been played suc cessfully, and it has already been started thus early in the season. These swin dlers are all after one pattern. A glib- tongued chap. No. 1. wishes to estab lish an “agency” for some erinkum. It may be a stump-puller, a machine for grinding the knives of mowing ma chines, it may be a churn power, or a spring bed. Whatever it is, chap No. 1, somehow, or in some way, contrives to gel the signature of the farmer. Here is where fife tronble begius. We Lave cautioned and reiterated the cau tion, “PAl J£EI::-- LE CAI ITCL WHAT YOU SIGN,” but this does not seem to bo enough, no matter how much -care is exercised, tlio smooth-tougned chap, No. 1, is nsu- ally too much fur the farmer. So we say to farmers—don't act as agents for anjthiEg, but if yon will not heed this, and the temptation as to profit is too great to resist, ;u.d you u-ill disregard warnings, wa beg of yon FARMERS, DON’T SIGN ANYTHING. Yon may be asked to agree t« 1-ecome an agent, you may bo asked to give -your address, so that the sam ple machine, to be sent free, will come all right, may be asked for merely your post-office address. Take our advice— which is the same as Punch's advice to yonng people abont to marry- -don’t! don’t 1! Don’t, do not—pray refrain from sighing yonr name to anything whatev er! Observe this and yon are safe. Sign your Dame on any pretense to any thing whatever, and you open the way for visit of chap No. 2. He is not smooth tongued or pursuasive. He has come to collect his bill. Yon have ordered so and so. The goods are at depot, here is the bill, and he wants the money, as he must take next train. You can’t say you never ordered the goods, for there is yonr signature! You cant deny it, bnt yon signed it as an aggreement to act as agent, or signed it as yonr ad dress—No. v 2. knows nothing about this—cares nothing about i‘, but wants liis money. Here we again say don’t Don’) be bullied into payiugi), bnt let him do his worst-. Show him the door, and let him appeal to the courts if he dares. The game has already begun, and bundrels of farmers, to avoid trou ble, will throw away thousands of dol lars the coming season. DON’T BE BULLIED into paying a dollar on any snch ch.im. At the most, it can only go to a jury of yonr neighbors to decide, but not one case in a bundled will ever come to that. One correspondent writing from Massachusetts, says that some of Lis -neighbors think that an agricultu ral paper can teach them nothing, yet one of these very conceited fanners had to pay §30, which lie would have saved, had he read our humbug articles, as the very swindle was expi -sed here. From the American Agriculturist. Every Intelligent Citizen should Have It LEGAL FACTS & FOBMS i The Alabama Claims.—Oa Saturday jast’ by votes of 112 to 73 and 113 to 93, the House substituted the minority re. port of the Judiciary Committee for the further distribution of the‘Geneva award in- place of the majority bill and passed it. The Court of Claims was anxious to have the adjudication of the remainder jtj{ the awards transformed thither, and the sentiment of the House at one time was behaved to be in favor of it, but the bHl as -passed re-established the old Court of Alabama Claims, restores the Class of chums which it did nos dispose pf, allows additional • interest ou judg ments rendered,and permits claims for tbp payment of premiums for war risks, provided that only that only the actual loss is acertamed. The minority of thr House committee took the ground fiironghoni that the fund, that it was awarded to the United States as a na tiou, that no person oreorpo a'ion has o legal rigid to it. but that it • a fund for Actual sufferers by the c induct o Q eat Britain. -. C Water Proof Boots.—It’s not always desirable that beots should be abso lutely water-proof, as whatever keeps vra‘er out will keep it in, and whoever has worn India-rubber boots for any length of time, knows that retaining the perspiration of the feet soon pats them in a very unpleasant, half par boiled condition that is not desirab’e. Still, water-proof boots are useful in an emergency, to be worn for a short time, as in doiDg the chores in bad weather, A pair of good rubber boots will answer the purpose, or a pair of common cow hide boots may be made water-proof af ter the method of New England fisher men. These people, exposed to all the weather, have for a century used the following compound. Tallow, 4 oz.; rosin and beeswax. 1 oz. each; melt to- togetlier, then stir in Neatsfoot oil, equal in bulk to the melted articles. The boots are warm id before a fire and this composition is rubbed into the leather, soles and nppers by means of a rag. Two applications will make the leather quite water-poof.—American Agriculturist. ; The following illustration of the con tortions of a story is said to be found ed ou fact: The servant of No. 1 told the servant.of No. 2 that his master expected to have, his old friends, the Bay leys, to pay him a visit shortly, and No. 2 ‘told No. 3 that No. 1 expec ted to haye the Baylays in the house every day. No. 3 then told No. 4 that it was ail; up with No. 1, for they conld'nt keep the bailiff out of the house; whereupon No, 4 told number 5 that, the officers were after No. 1, and that it was as much as he could do to prevent himself being taken and execu ted. and that it was nearly killing his poor wife. Thus the story grew till it reached No. 32, who assured No. 33 that the police had arrested No. 1 for wife murder, and that he will probably be ex'-enred. Mr. S.
