SO MEWING WRONG. We have concluded that the great crime of the fanners of America has been ignorance. They have placed implicit confidence in the maxims and premises of a few designing politicians They have allowed themselves to be lead almost io the very portals of the poor house. They have been advised to let politics alone and devote them¬ selves to agriculture more assidously than before. This only increases the bard times. 1890 was the greatest crop year ever known in the South, snd none ever left less money in the hands of the farmers and country merchants. This has been the hard¬ est year in money matters ever ex¬ perienced in the south, and all this too on the ver y heels of a 9,000,000 bale crop of cotton. Somebody is to blame; there is somewhere. This is self evident. It is a condition and not a theory that confronts the agricultural population If they produce a big crop it is over production. If they produce less they are advised to go to work and produ< e more. Surely 7 somebody ha3 been playing them false. And when they 7 propose to investigate, and farther to put .new men and new measures to the front, they are met with the eeclaration of that they must stand and answer the catechism of the old mossbacks or be kicked out. This is a case of the tail try¬ ing to wag the dog, and we hope and believe it will prove a most dis is-. trous failure.—Warrenton Clipper. Oitr Legislature Is no More. The Georgia legislature is a thing of the past. It will live only in mi mory, and it may be that the places that know its members now will know some of them no more forever. The legislature has adjourned with¬ out a day, and the surplus in the treasury has also adjonmed. It might havs been possible the legislature would have held longer, but for the latter occurrence which come horns to than like an avalanch of argument and they succuinhered. The hoarding houses and barrooms are wearing crepe on their doors for thirty days and it may be that the want of trade will force some of the proprietors to hoard with the Sheriff. Another consolation, their wives will know where to find them at night, and no doubt it will be awful lonesome at heme for these law makers for awnile, but they will have to tough it cut and get use to it. After all, though the legislature has dor.fi very well. It is true that they have spent thousands of the peo¬ ple’s money in wrangling, which did nobody any gcccl, but when you get such a collection together as the Georgia legislature it is mighty hal’d to keep some of the fellows from show ing off a little. This legislature has done more for common school educa¬ tion than any of its predecessors. It has done more for the Confederate soldier and his w idow than all the previous assemblies. It has settled the vexed qustion of the State rail¬ road and re-leased that property for a round sume. These are only a few of the many things some by this body. Taken as a whcle it haB done much more than tne legislature which just preceded it, and, although they held a long summe-r session and got out of picking the cotton crop, we will have to forgive them—They mat do better next lime. Lot us all be happy that the legis¬ lature has rdioumed. roaTasni-ik’-', ru . ana . Weakness, Liaiuria, YgesAOn l!iUous mrHvvN-3 meric bittehs. alt -’ . It cures ly-icMy.

Reuben is 40 years ot age. He was born in Bath county, Kentucky, and moved to Missouri in 18(58; he has had no schooling, cannot read or write and cannot tell one figure from another,yet with lightning-like rapidity can solve the most difficult problems either iu simple or com pound fractions. He has not yet tad a problem he could not solye; can add up aclumn os'any number of figures as fast as they can be called, and says that he can invoice the lar gest store in Marshall in a half day. In invorcing he extends and foots up amounts as they arecalled off to him. It is a fact that be can solve any noathe malical problem, but it costs something to get him to talk. He has had many propositions from var ious sources to go on the road and give public exhibition but has con cluddd to confine himself to private work and docs not seek notoriety on the strge.—Marshall (Mo.)
