M , and may you be aide to wield a sparkling pen tor the goo I of those you repre sent On ano'her page wo reproduce mi article from a Milled eville correspondent to the Augusta Chronicle which piesentsa graphic picture as to the real cause of the vmburassments that now environ the faftner. It is timely and sug gests some solid tacts. Gainesville Eagle; Maj. .1 F. .Jones, of Troup county, has sent to the agricultural department a* Atlanta a stalk of cotton rai-ed from his improved seed, contain ing 230 bolls, the seed cotton in which it is estimated will weigh tour pounds. This is the kind of seed to plant. Mr. Geo, T. Jackson has been pardoned by Guv. Gordon. If this is the order of the day, then' are many poor, unfortunate char acters in the penitentiary who are as much the objects of meiey as Mr. Jackson. Will they get it ? In our judgment the higher the position the greater the crime Senators ami Representatives enjoy a leave of absence, which is asked for frequently, especially as the tree piss is thrown in. The people, however, would I ke a lit tle shorter term and more work it it will r duce tax to any extent. If not they can continue the .nisi neas of riding all the year and there will lie no growling. Cluvertus. who is under sentence of death in Richmond, Va.. for the murder of Mis* Lillian Madi son, has tufide a statement ac- counting for himself on the night she was killed. In it he makes no mention of the unfortunate wo-? man, mid it is quite probable that bis statement will have very little weight with Gov. Lee, at win <• hands he is seeking executive clemency. Puck: Delinquent Subscriber (to country editor; —Why is your paper referred to as a “patent in side ?” Editor (gloomily)—lt does I refer to the paper; it refers to me. Delinquent Subscriber—You ? Editor—Ye*. If I hado t a patent inside I’d starve Io death We h< ar ily agree with the Sparta Ishm.ielitc in the foil ,umg sensible expression ; Inasmuch as investigation is the order of the j dav in the Legislature, let the louv'ct lease system be made to i show its hand-. Meantime, let those who arc bent on abolishing the system have a clean-handed substitute ready to take its place win ii destroyed. There will be Im few nioiir ers at its grave, even among those who 'lo not take >i putcly sentimental view of the question. A HOPEFUL SIGN- Some of our farmers lire dispos ed to take a hopeful view of the departure of cully to enjoy city life. They propose to supply his place, as far as possible, by white labor, mid where this cannot be done, to take hold ot the plow themselves. The thought of such action upon the part of our people really makes us feel that n bright- i <-r day liutinciiilly is soon to open upon us. (iod speed the day when the farmers of this county will apply the lessons of the past and measure up by one solid, milted effort to the requirements of the present in placing them selves upon a solid basis. INTENSIVE FARMING The following editorial from the j Gainesville Eagle is worthy a pc rusal by our farmers. It they will put it into pra. lice, we verily believe a brighte. era will sooi. dawn upon them : “What is called intensive tann ing mid the use of improved seed, is becoming more common every year. A few enterprising farmers, such ns Maj. J. F. .Jones, ot Troup ; Capt. J. C. Simmons, of Hancock, mid others, have fully demonstrated that it is the proper wav. These gentlemen will only use seed that are selected with earc and brought up to the highest standard of excellence, and only plant ns much hind as they can manure freely and work thoroughly. The consequence is. they make from one to two bales of cotton to the acre, a d corn and other produce in proportion, on land that under the old system yielded only one bale to from three to live acres.— When this method is generally adopted by our farmers, they can afford to make cotton at a low price. It costs about as much to cultivate a poor acre as a rich one ; then why not spend the'extra money it costs to cultivate four or five acres to get one bale of cotton tor good seed and fertilizers for one acre and get two bales from it? A farmer had better pay two or three dollars a bushel tor pure improved seed than to plant seed that have been allowed to run out, if he had them given to him. Sinh seed si ould only be used for mak ing comp >st. Plant good sevaKf you have to buy them <-v< ry yuar or two; then put in only as much as you can work thoroughly and fertilize heavily. This intensive system will have to be adopted soonei or later, then why not go at u at once?’’ OVER THE STATE. cji- u kuuh'h home Drxraovrj. by nnf- Sparta lahmaelite: Mr. it. (I. Hum ber, of Putnam cou..ty, has had the luisf.ntii'ie to have Lis lions-, an 1 it content* entiri !y destroyed by lire on Monday night. No insurance. It will be remembered that bis place was wrecked by a cyclone a fewycai ago. A BACKING MPLS. Sharon correspondent Crawford rille Democrat: One of our horse jockeys is somewhat used up, having trade I for a mule and desiring to as certain Lis saddle qualities mounted Lii» and on Ins route I.tl occasion to pass a house wit. re the mule was ac customed to stop. He says the mule ; became obstinate and instead of going f a ward commenced to back ami did n it stop until he bad pushed off the .rd pailingH nuil went in .the front i tch backwards. We think liecould have told more but did not wish to injure the mule's tril ling qualities. A GOOD HOG RAISER. Sparta Ishmaelite: Jake M. Stanley killed six hogs, last week, that netted him 1,457 pounds. Jake knows how to larm, and be puts his knowledge to good use. A SENSIBLE NEGRO. Frank Barnett, who recently pur chased the property of Mr. S. Bern stein, nt Powell’s mills,Greene county was a slave of J >r. I’oullain before the war, and was freed by the result of that struggle. Having kept clear from politics and attended to himself and his busii tss, with singular indus try ami good management he accu mulated some SB,OOO in cash and real estate. A CORN CRIB BURNED. From the Augusta Chronicle we learn that Mr. Joseph Appling, of Crawford, Go. had the misfortune to lose Lis corn crib by tire Friday night last. Mr. Appling was from home and his family did not know anything of the loss until yesterday morning as the crib was some distance from the dwelling. It is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. The grass caught on tire and would have burn ed a negro church if some one had not put it out. Who it was that stopped the fire can’t be found out There was about GO bushels of corn burned.

Edge, editor of the Hampton Enterprise, says "I dislike io see editors asking for money through their paper, but I am owing office rent ami for paper, and I must bale Mme money or suspend. I want but a small amount, and must Lave that little, else be pushed. Piease don’t compel me t ■ push. I regret to humiliate myself in writing this unpleasant local. If any of you knew how I dislike to be dunned you would come next week and see me." CHURCH BURNED. Warrenton Clipper: The Codyville colored Baptist church, situated about four and one half miles from town, w as destroyed by fire on last Saturday night. The buildiug is supposed to Lave been set on tire, and suspicion rested on Ben Pinson, against whom a warrant was issued. He was arrest ed by Deputy Sheriff Norris and gave bond for appearance before the Su perior court. Pinson was until re cently a deacon of the church burned, but a few days before the burning, was tried for some offence ami ex communicated. It is said that be threatened during the progress of bis trial to have the church burned if he was turned out. Great excitement prevails among the. colored people with reference to the matter. HARTWELL DOTS. Hartwell Sun: D. B. Alford, of Oak Bower brought a very curious bird to town on Wednesday. He disabled one of its wings by a shot without hurting it much. It measured six feet from tip to tip of wings, has a head as large as the largest house cat, and a thick coat of white feathers with small dark spots. It is not at all vicious but will allow a person to stroke its head, and appears to enjoy it. Has large yellow eyes, and an ap petite for small birds. Its legs and feet are thickly coated with feathers. Altogether it is the prettiest bird ue have seen. Now let some uatura i t up unil tell us what it is. Some tuiuk it is a snow owl. It is a stranger m this regi n. | 1838 I .SWIFTS SPECIFIC.| j |188« 3 [ 1 i EEMEDY NOT FOB A DAT, BUT TOB~ | | - fS S S Eilr A CEHTUBI-W gS 8 I I relieving SUTFEKING humanity I I I I SjS.s s | s .s Is s's 8 8,8 I s,s,s, s|s|s < ' 2* AN INTERESTING TREATISE ON BLOOD AND SKIN DISEASE* SENT 5 FREE TO ALL APPLICANTS.
