Mr. Jno. E, Chambers, an old
and respected citizen, died at his
home, here, last Thursday, and was
buried Saturday. The old gentle

a natural run down of the machin
ery. Doubtless, there was not a
diseased organ in the system Mr.
Chambers leaves a host of relatives
and fiends to sorrow his death.
Later nows say Mr. Joha E Cham
bers died from a cascer ol the stomach.
Correspondents are again wak
ing up to the responsibility that
rests upon them of making the
Journal newsy and interesting to
their county and friend|. Nothing
speaks more for the intelligence of
a section, than to see its people
keep each other posted through
their county papers. Net, some
have the imaginary feeling of an
acquaintance with the editors, be
fore they would write. Such can
only remind you of the one who
stood by and seen his fellow-man
drown, because he had not receiv
ed an introduction. If they ever
seen each other again, very likely
thoy were toe far apart to waat an
introduclion.

recent eyclona, are said la be doiDg

critical.

The keeping of regular account*
brings about system. It stops the
small leaks, and enables the tann
er to look over his receipts and ®x
psnditures at the end cf the year,
and take some reckoning as to his
prosperity. It enables him to cal
culate what particular branch of
his labors is most profitable; and it
enables him to know how much he
owes, and to make intelligent set
tlements. In many instances it sav
es expensive Uw-KHits, and keeps him
at peace with bis neighbo s. A 3 or 4
quire simple entry book, snd a small
er one for nse as a cask book, will be
all that is recessary. The fanner’s
wife should also have a maimorandua,
on which she enters the sale of butter,
chicken*, eges, f.'C , acd tho amount

small items should ha aided together
and placed oa the larger boc.k at the
end ot each month. A le.pilar acconnt
should be opened at the tiof the
