At the present prices of cotton,
und tho expense to which the aver
age plauter put in making, but few
will over realize enough to pay out.
'The belief is general that raising
cotton will bankrupt any man that
follows it long enough, but it is hard
f a* the people to turn their course.
In proof of this the fact is stutod
that those who raise their own hog
and hominy aro always in easier cu-
cumstunccs than those who plant too
heavily of cotton.
One more month and the time for
sowingfull oats will he upon ns. It
is very important that a large acreage
be sown in tho fall. Every fanner
will admit that gram sown in the
full season yield more per acre than
that sown in the winter und spring;
yet, it being a busy season about
gathering the crops, too many are
prone to leave this important step
uutaken. It is decidedly better to
take the time for this work at the
proper eeusou, even if the cotton
crop should Be purtially damaged
by the delay in picking.
The exercises of the Dublin acad
emy will ho reeumed Monday
morning, 6th inst.. It would be
desirable for the pupils who expeci
to attend to he one hand promptly

Col. Tom F-ason und Mr. J. L.
Manning, of McVillo, aro in the
city, tho latter prospecting.
Tho Crops.
The crops through this section of
country, on an average, aro hotter
thun a great many had anticipated.
Some farm products are above the
products are above the average while
some are below. Taking the whole
into consideration, the yield and
acreage will stand against those of
previous years, if correct reports
have been furnished us.
The corn crops, wherever properly
cultivated, are hotter than they have
boon for years past, notwithstanding
the fact that tho continuous ruius
in tho curly summer were thought
to be damaging to the prospects. It
is true that the stalk took cousidora-
hie sap during those rams, aud that
thescorohing sun injured it while in
rousting-oars, still tho yield, which
would otherwise ltavo been enor
mous, is bettor than tho predictions
of a good many would havo led us to
believe.
It is generally canceled that the
cotton crop lias beon considerably
out off by tho rains, rust and cater
pillars The weed is good hut the
fruit does not hang as thick us when
tho growth was accompanied by
more favorable sousous and less pcs
tilence. Cotton that was planted
late iu the season, although the
worms^tavo laid seige on it, promis
es to he better thun thut plan tod
curly, if it does not rocoivo the visi
tation of an curly froBb.
Tho cuno, potato and Held pea
crops in many sections are a com
plete failure, while iu pluccs the first
two crops aro on a par with previous
crops. The acreage in pototoes is
greater than it has been for
a good while, but the yield
will doubt less’full far short of many
former crops. 'Those ato important
crops und it is regrottod that the
prospects are not more flattering.
Au Liiirtluiiiakc.
Our town was well shaken up last
night at nine o'clock by the visita
tion of an earthquake. Houses
swayed perceptibly, doors oponed,
trees.trembled, and even the earth
was so disturbed that pedes'nans
found it difficult to travel.
The shock was so significant that
sleepers were aroused aud some of
the attendants upon religions services
were alarmed and left the building
Nearly every one, especially the
ladies,‘were badly frightened.
The occurreilce has been tho sub
ject of conversation all day, and'
many amusing things have been
brought to tho surface pertaining to
the actions und opinions of tho
different ones.
STOLEN.
Some thief or thieves entered the

ten and twenty tmllhr bills. I will
willingly give to any ono producing

Taking ami Giving Advice.
Taxing good advice is quite u
different thing from giving good
advice. Almost everybody knows
how to do the second: next to nobody
knows’how to do the first. Yet
taking good advice is, normally, at
least quite as important, as giving
good advice; in tho present stute of
the world, it is much more impor
tant. What a sudden change tliero
would he in this blundering old
world, if the taking of good advice
were as ea-y and as pleasant us its
giving.
It was a favorite thought und
conceit of the classical writers that
men were divided into iliree classes:
Men who, themselves, knew what
they ought to do; tnen who did not,
themselves, know, but who wote
willing to learn from others what
they should do; und men who neith
er knew nor would leuru from oth
ers, what was best for them to do.
If one cannot belong to tho choice
few who form the first of these three
clauses, lie ought at least to see that
ho does not belong to the ignoble
many who form the third.

tern Short Lino railroad lias been

A Tyngsboro Lover.
Hero is a littlo story from real life
that surpasses tho ordinary run of
seiidutionul novels.
More thun forty yours ago there
lirednt Tyngsboro, Massachusetts,,
a young man named Willard Pierce,
a hundsoin fellow, who was a
graduate of Hurvard and principal of
the village school. Hu full in love
with tho hollo of Tyngsboro, a most
bountiful young lady, and, happy iu
the fuir one’s promises of undying
constancy, young Pierce set for
Philadelphia, where ho hoped to
make money, and becouto able to
provide suitable for a wife.
Unfortunately ho bucomo sick and
after tossing for weeks ou a bod of
disousq ho recovered only to find Iris
scant savings going
Weak and peniluss he returned to
Tyngsboro and there found thut hi*
sweetheart was preparing to marry a
rich Now Yorker. The nervous shook
produced a severe relapse and in a
little whil Pierce was a raving
maniac.
The insane lover was lodged in a
ward of the poor house uear Tyngs-
boro, and fer forty years occupied a
eell eight feet square. His food
was passed to him through a grating.
Day after day, week after week,
year after year, ho sat a silent und
solituty mud man. His hair and
beard became long aud shaggy, ins
finger nails grow until his hands
looked like the talons of a monster
bird, and his eyos glittered like the
oyes of a serpent. A day or two
ago he died, aged sixty-three years,
and the people havo revived the sto
ry of his early love affair. —Constitu
