W, nd showed a well developed square,
or an incipient bloom. Is foliage was

I healthy complexion
[ Mr. Jones said: “I thought yon
ftwould be interested in seeing what 1
never before observed—a cotton square
■in the month of April. Yon may eon
Icnlt the oldest farmers, and they will
■tell yon that it is unheard of for cot-
Mon to be so fat advanced in April as
Mo square,”
W After looking with unfeigned as
ftonishment on the unexpectedly well
[developed plant, the reporter asked
IMr Jones the earliest date at which
Ike had ever known a cotton square
I “Well, you know that I hvre a hob
Iby of raising early oottou. This is
from no mfre desire tor notoriety, for
I have drmonsttated through many
years of experience that the earlier cot
ton is forced to maturity in this cli
mate tbi larger is the yield Early
cotton is less liable to disasters that
annually befall the crop in this lati
tnde Caterpillars never destroy the
fields that are well advanced, nor do
the storms that generally prevail at
the autumnal equinox find so much
open in cotton to Mow out and injure.
Tf not destroy. ! have therefore, pur-
sned a policy persistency, manuring
highly and working rapidly, and have
for years kept a ie< ord ot the stage of

a record of a rqnae is the 10th day of
May”
“When was the field from which
this specimen was taken planted?”
“This field was planted the first
week in February My January plant
ing was killed outright by the freeze
in early February ”
When was this field chopped out?
“It was chopped out and brought *o
a stand in the last week of March. It
has been already hoed twice and plow
ed twice. I bad it fertilized very
highly, and I expect to get a very ear
ly bale from it. I have exercised
great care in improving my planting
seed from year to year, and I attrib
ute my succesa in marketing early oot
ton largely to this faat. I save the
(seed from the first cotton that opens.
Land it is a fact observed by my neigh
bors, that I oan plant a field of cotton
at the same time that they do, and my
cotton always matures from two to
three weeks in advanoe of theirs.”—

contempt for the church spires iu tha
city; in fact, it does not believe in
spires. It says tbire are no spire

What’s the Good of Immigration?
It is good for the land proprietor, for
it enables him to dispose of his snr
pins acres.
It is good for the general merchant,
for it will afford him opportunities to
sell more goods.
It ia good for the lumber dealer lor
it will le the means of disposing oi his
building material.
It is good for the hardware man, for
he will sell more machinery.
It is good for the miller, b<*oaue h
will have more grain to grind and
more flour and meal to sell.
It is good for the carpenter and tna
son, for tfey will bave all the work
they can do
It is good for the b'a k*rai h and
wheelright, for that shops will be
crowded
It is good for th* furniture deale-,
for all need tupplie- in his line.
It is good for the bankers, for ihev
will all h*re money transae ions
It is good for the postmaster. for it
will increase bis salary*
It is good lor the doctois, for it is
not supposed tbp.t they will all be bless
ed with the ssn e robust health that
the people hre are.
It is good for the lawyers,for by and
by they m%> have legal business to
transact.
it is good for the farmers, for they
will be of mutual aid and assistance
to each other.
It is good for the surveyors, for
boundary lines will be shrply defined.
The more laud in cultivation, the
more regular the seasons. The mere
crops produced the better the market.
It is good for the newspapers, for
the more patronage they have the
more pride they will feel and the hard
er they will labor for the good of the
country.
U is good *or ns all, for it will re
duos the taxes. There is only so much
money reqaired to ran the state and
county governments any way, and the
greater the number to pay the tax the
less each one will hare to pay.
if we had four times our present
population it wonld cost but little
more to run the county than it does
now, and ws would have little moie
than one fourth the present tax to pay
The fact is, immigration of the right
kind will oe a benefit to ns and to
them. It will give them good health,
good society and good schools and they
will add to the number of good citi
zens, for be it known that we shall
weloome neither paupers nor idlers nor
men depending on tie people already
here for a liriag, bat the right hand of
fellowship is extended to all who are
able to bay and improve their lands,
stock them and lay the sure founds-
tion of a prosperous oveer.
We are not inviting men who are
not aide to take care of tbtmeolvrs.
We want largo numb.rs, it is tr.;e, lot

This is a splendid country, but it re

elsewhere to male a start in this

iv a good country; for those who have
nothing, it is good that they stay
