Trading With yonr Own Merchants. Mr. Editor: Your seven reasons for trading with home merchants are suggestive. They should be seen by every person. Foreign trading is attended with more and greater evils than most persons are aware. There are laws both in moral and political economy which will result favorably wherever they are practiced. The violation of those laws will result evilly to those violating them. This foreign trading is a cause producing nothing but evil effects. Every community has not only an individual, but a public interest, each of which i3 proportional to the num ber pursuing business and the extent of the community. A town of one thousand inhabitants has an individ ual interest corresponding to that number, and a general and political interest equal to the extent of its territory. If the inhabitants of one community should transfer their tra ding to another community, the in dividual and general property inter est of the lutter, will both be enhanc ed at the expense of the former, in the proportion in which trade may be transferred. A transfer of trade from one town to another increases the business of the one to which the trade is carried. If it be a town, a sufficient transfer of business will make it a city. In creased business necessitates an in crease of force, and means with which to conduct it. These require more clerks, accountants and laborers. These necessitate an increase ot po licemen anil detectives. All these augment not only the aggregate ex. penses, tut those for individuals pos sessing special qualifications. All this increase of men and means must be drawn Horn the country, where living is cheaper, to cities, where it is more costly. This increase of means and business must be paid by the countrymen who do tlieir trading in the cities. Nor does this tell all the increased evils, effected by city thrift. Those clerks, accountants, laborers and po liceman have families. These are taken from the country—all ages, sizes, sexes and colors —to the cities, where living is dearer, and there they spend all their money, increased in amount of wages for the increased demands of life. Their children attend school and church there —there they learn the follies of life. Think what a drain upon the agricultural interest of the country. No wonder fanners are depressed and educational prosperity of the country is waning It requires a comparatively small amount of the necessaries to support life, whether in the country or city. All over that is a superfluous or lux urious expenditures. Some spend all their money for necessaries and fashionable luxuries. Others save a part and apply it either to enlarging gains ii future or in improvement and adornment of property. If a man will spend his entire earnings he who saves a part of his has been benefited, and the poor man not only enriches the other but aids in build ing up and beautifying the estates of others, by adding his entire earnings ta the volume of circulation in the city. This is why money appears more plediifbl in the city than in the coun try. Take Americas as an example, There the people buy the necessaries the %xm. DEMOCRATIC FAMILY NEWSPAPER. BUENA VISTA, MARION COUNTY, GA„ OCTOBER Sth, 1875, and luxuries of life, and after deduct ing the cost, in the aggregate, of all these purchases, which is sent to other places, supplying them, the re mainder, the aggregate profits, is put in circulation or appropriated to the iinproventOTPt|s^^^JStal£B. It is there that the laborer, of whatever character, does his work, collects and spends his money. All buying and spending in their own city, whenever and whatever wanted, produces prosperity. That is shown in costly buildings, paved streets and expensive surroundings generally. All the expensive living—buildings, displays of fashion or folly, made more costly by general attractiveness, all this drain upon the country in population, in money flowing to the city, must be borne, and are paid for by the diminished number of produ cers in the country, who are swelling the tide of ruin that will drift them and their children into the gulf of poverty. What folly! Still, farmers will trade there, not knowing the increased expense upon their means, nor thinking of the de preciation they are bringing upon their own lands, while they increase tho valuation of lands near the city, in a much greater proportion. This is a thought worthy the farmer’s pro found contemplation. Where is the planter who has sav ed five hundred dollars, in ten years, by baying, as he says, cheaper goods in the city ? Nowhere. But suppose there are a few who have done so, every one of them have lost over one thousand dollars in the same time by a depreciation of landed valuation. A certain tract of land near this town sold about ten years ago for I twenty-two dollars per acre. The j same land would not bring ten dol lars per acre to-day. Where is the 1 gain then ? Suppose the planters who li\. nearer Buena Vista than other town&,; would do their trading here.—the;, hauling and saving freight both ways —how much better would it be l'or them and the community 1 The costly buildings, paved streets, fine schools and churches, lucrative trade and multiplied advantages of Americus and Columbus would be in vited here. The help which has heretofore been extended to those cities would give a market at their own doors. Dilapidated buildings, ruined trade, second or third class schools would be among the things of the past. Labor would be drawn from the cities, and more equitably divided. These would work and spend money here, increasing busi ness and circulation. Your town would improve. Its sofciety would become more elastic in feelings; that would give a healthy tone to the emulations of the sur rounding people. Your homes would be beautified; the countryman seeing it, would soon find himself emulating the example, and instead of needless apologies, when visited, would greet you with pride, plenty and satisfac tion. Lands would increase in valuo one hundred or more per cent, while you would get goods equally as cheap. Your clamor for railroad life would cease, as much of the money floating there would find a more di versified and extended field of useful ness m your midst, and the recuper ating hopes of the mind and aroused energies of the people would cause our section to prosper with plenty and thrift. I am pleased with your start. It is in the proper direction. Hold up your adopted town. Plead for her merchants, mechanics and planters. And while you denounce foreign trading, hold up to public view the eq ally unjust, expensive and hateful evil of ioreigffcducation. We ntod training on this point. Wheat’ Raising in |Beuthei*p T ' Colonel R. IT. Hardaway in Tliom asvillo Enterprise: *T l>eg leave to call the attention of tlic planters of Thomas county and, indeed, of all South Georgia, to the importance of raising wheat. There is an enor mous expenditure in Thomas county for flour, amounting to SIOO,OOO an nually. I know there is not a flour mill in Thomas county, and planters use this as an argument why they do not plant wheat. It is also said that wheat cannot be raised in South Georgia. In 1863 and 1864 I suc ceeded admirably in raising good wheat ana a good yield. The fiist year I raised nine bushels to the acre, and the next year eleven bush els to the here. I sent the wheat seventy miles on my wagon to a mill to be ground. It was poorly ground, but It made very sweet bread. It was during the war and necessity compelled me to plant wheat as flour was not to be had. The scarcity of money ought to compel every planter in Thomas county to plant at least enough wheat to supply his family wit 1 flour, and seed cn ( ugh to plant another crop. -The planter should be as n.uch ashamed to buy flour as to buy corn. The system of buying provisions must be abandoned before the planter can be come independent. We must learn to live at home. It unhinges the law of supply and demand when the for mer goes into the market to buy pro visions that he ought to make to sell. All otherjoccupations are non-produ- j cers of proiisi ns aud expect thefar j msrsgco.iupply tho food they con me, and when the farmer ceases to ; i aise thesejsupplies and goes into the :mark 1 to buy them it creates scarci ty and. the markets become under the control of the speculators, and prices are run up as high as they can be pushed. Hence, it reacts against the farmer, who i3 compelled to pay the very highest market rates. If wheat be raised, mills will be erected to grind it, aud unless the farmers will try to grow wheat they will never have any flour except as they buy it. The wheat crop some years fails in the best wheat countries, but that does not deter the planter from plan ting it again. So it should be with us; let us keep planting and experi menting every year, and success will be sure. Wheat should be sowed in October. Every Grange in Toomas county ought to take steps that will induce wheat culture. I trust that every Granger’s wife will insist that enough wheat shall be planted to supply the family with flour the com ing year. “How is your church getting on ?” asked a friend of a rigorous Scotchman, who had separated in turn from the Kirk, the Free Church, the United Presbyterian and several lesser bodies. “Pretty weel, pretty weel.

How a Snake Charmed a Aojr, From the heading Eagle. Ft r the last two weeks a son of AlUn Rogers, aged elven year, a on tho Blue Mountains, i|pi|3j®||l*gMleß from Hamburg, flpßPyab l t. of h aving his fiiflTeT’s house eV ery morning about 9 o’clock, and not returning until noon. The parents of the boy l ave questioned him teveral tines ns to where he went, and tho boy wonld rep'y, to play with a neighboring boy named Springer. On Friday la<t the father watch lii&* son, and followed at a short distance, and w hen about a half n.ile from the h nse’ tho boy entered a piece of thick epruot land, in from the road some two hunre 1 yards, where he seated himself upon a large rock and in less than ten minutes the father was horrified on seeing a monster black snake crawl upon tie r>ck jand pat its heal on the boj, k, lap. The fathar states that ;he snake was the largest he over saw on the hills. He states that that it was easily fifteen feet long, and as thick as his arm, which is well developed. The boy had ta kened bread with him, and was feeding the snake, which at inter vals would stick a 111 go tongue out as if hissing formo:-e to eat. Then it would coil itself aroud the neck and body of the hoy, and play with its moutli and neck with the boy’s h ind. The father had often heart of snakes charming cbilden, anc that if they were disturbed while they were in the act, they would kill the child. As the father turned to leave his boy with his deadly compan ion, he turned back, and the snake hearing a noise, at once uncoiled itself and raised i.s body atleast four leet from the rock and looked in all directions, and then it re turned|to the boy’s lap, and the fa ther returned home, and awaited the boy’s return, which was, as usu al, at noon. When told that he had been playing with the snake, the boy said the first morning he met the snake he lilced to pi a)’ with it; then he took it food, and he was so well pleased with his companion that something told him that he must meet the snake every morning. One morning he said lie was late, and when he reached the place the snake was standing up, and it came out to meet him, then followed him to the rock. There is something very strange about a snake charming not only child ren, but I have read of adults com ing under their charms. There is certainly some truth in the facinating powers of snakes. On Saturday morning tho father and two of his neighbors went to the place with guns, and at the usual time the Jsnake made its ap pearance wheu all fired at one time killing the charmer. An old newspaper gives the fol lowing as a scrap of history. In the year 1784, the Legisloture of Pennsylvania, to abolish a practice then prevailing, passed the following resolution after considerable opposi tion,— “That hereafter no member shall, come Into the chamber barefooted, nor eat his bread and cheese on the steps of the Capitol. In the flushed times of New Or leans a mule and dray have been known to bring fifty thonsand dol lars in gold, but it is not to be in ferred they sold for that. &r#us A . M . C . Hl' H N IT.

After the youth had a good laugh, he manage to explian that one of the boys had put a piece of ice under the thermometer, and sent the mercury down to forty ,and the master thought the room was not warm enough to remain in. And the way the old gentleman laughed and shook told plainly enough that he had once been ouo of that kind of boys. “I loved Charles,” said she wip ing her eyes with the hem of her overskirt—“l loved Charles as much as any woman could love a man : but when lie commenced wearing spitcur’s I dropped him.” A Kentncky editor tells another that if his head were as red as his nose he would remind one of a bow-legged carrot surmounted by a cockade.
