Weigh mnd Measure Everything. Now that the season for selling has ar rived, we would impress upon our readers the neoeeeity for accurately weighing and meaiiurilgwverything they sell. There is too mttohjptiuss-work done. Buyers handlklf^produce every day of the year, and weigh and measure all they handle. They are well posted. Farmers eM not. ■' When it comes to estimate the feraemLnre beat. “It is naught, it is naaght," saith the buyer. And farmers *1* too easily persuade i by his pertinac ity. Betides. farmers want the money, and do not like to lose a sale. So they give Way. There is no settler of disputes ao atebbom as a good platform scale. A Fairbanks acale will save many words, and ninch time and loss. Every barn should be providod with one, and nothing ahonld be taken out for sale until it is weighed and plainly marked with its weight. —Am. Agrfcultu mt.

But allowing the same xatio —one vote to every tive white per- ftone—Bussell county would have cast Isos than 1,100 votes for the Democracy ; except that, over (iou colored votes went Democratic. Russell county has 10,000 negroes and 5,400 whites. We feel satisfied that our North Alaba ma friends will, ho-.vover, next November foil up the 45,000 votes for Houston and the Honest Meu's ticket which the Demo crats have put forth. jL White Radical Joins the Whites when Armed Blades and Whites Meet.
