Newspaper Patronage.
There seems, says a contemporary, to
be a great many different ways of defin
ing and understanding the phrase
“ newspaper patronage,” and, as a party
interested in the correct definition of
the same, we give the following dis
quisition dn the subject by one who
knows whereof he speaks. It may serve,
perhaps as a mirror, in which certain
parties may be able to “ see themselves
“ Many long and dreary ycaia
publishing business (says the writer)
has forced the conviction upon us that
newspaper patronage is a word of many
definitions, and that a great majority of
mankind are either ignorant of the cor
rect definition, or are dishonest, in a
strict biblical sense of the word. News
paper patronage is as changeable as a
chameleon.
“ One man comes in, subscribes for a
paper, pays for it in advance, and goes
home and reads it w ith proud satisfaction
that it is his.
“ Another man asks you to send him
the paper, and goes oft without saying a
word about the pay. Time passes on,
you are in need of money, and ask lorn
to pay the sum he owes you. He flies
into a passion, perhaps pays, perhaps
not, and orders his paper stopped. This
is called patronage.
“ One man likes your paper; he takes
a copy, pays for it, and gets his friend
to do the same; but he is not always
grumbling to you and others, but has a
friendly word. If any accident occurs
in his section he informs the editor.—
This, too, is newspaper patronage.
“ One (it is good to see such) comes
in and says, ‘The paper for which 1
paid is .bout to expire; i want to pay
for another.’ He does so and retires.
This is, also, newsp aper patronage.”
Hampton’s Steam Plows.
The Vicksburg Herald gives the fol
lowing description of a steam plow at
work on the plantation of General Wade
Hampton, near Skipwith’s Landing,
Mississippi:
It consists of two portable engines,
which are so made that they run them
selves without the aid of horse power
over any road or field. The engines
are placed at opposite sides to the field,
and by mere means of wire ropes, 403
yards long, draw T a gang of plow's from
one side to the other. The plows cut
the soil to any depth required and at a
rapid rate, faster than a man can walk.
There are different sets of plows, for
deep and shallow plowing, for subsoiling,
for extracting roots, and for making
cotton beds. The latter is the most in
teresting, and makes a complete cotton
bed, of over five feet wide at one opera
tion They plow on an average of
twenty-five to thirty-five acres daily, and
can do even more on loose soil. The
engines are also useful for much other
work.
The General has a large saw-mill
which these machines take with them to
the woods to cut lumber and make fenc
ing. The heavy and broad iron wheels
of the engines help to make good roads,
and there is no better road in the coun
try than the one through Hampton’s
Walnut Ridge plantation, five miles
long. A few days ago, one of these
engines came down to the wharf-boat at
Skipwith with six large wagons in tow.
These were placed on the boat, heavily
laden with lumber, and the “train”
then started for home at a lively rate,
crossing one of the levees. It would
have taken twenty-four good mules to
have pulled those loads. Another time
the engine was “hitched” to a good
sized house and moved it back from the
river bank several hundred yards in
about twenty minutes, as fast as the
men could keep the rollers under it.—
It is the intention of General Hampton
to make these engines haul all his cot
ton to the river this season, when the
weather is favorable.
Uncertain Subscribers.—The
Glasgow (Ky.) Times must have some
“hard cases” on its subscription book.
Hear what the editor says :
One day last week a man stepped up
to us said he would -pay us every cent
he owed us, if he lived till Saturday
night. We presume that man died.
Another s:id that he would pay us in
a day or two as sure as we were born.
Query —Did the man lie, or were we
ever born? Another said he would
settle his bill as sure as shooting. We
are led to the belief that shooting is de
cidedly uncertain. Another said he
hoped io go to h—ll if he didn t pay us
in three days. Haven t seen him since,
but trust that be has hoped in vain.—
A number said that they would see us
to-m rrow. These men have been
ever since, or else to-morrow has never
come. One man told us six months ago
that he would pay us as soon as he got
some money. That man would not lie;
and, of course, he has not had a cent
since.
Accident. —A brakeman was killed
on last Saturday evening, on the Selma,
Rome and Dalton Railroad, while pass
ing over Cedar Creek bridge, near (hive
Spring. The brakeman was climbing
on the top of the cars, when his head
came in contact with a cross-piece on the
bridge, and was knocked off and instant
ly killed.
The Tournament at Rome.
The knights rode three rounds each
aud the following ts the result, as an
nounced from the Judges' stand :
W. H. Stilts, 30 points; R. M. Stiles
13 points; L. T. Lyons 15 points ;
Frank. Aycock 35 points; Jas. Conyers
31 points; W (J. Hobson 23 point*;
Jus. McCarson 16 points; John Mill
edge 23 points; H. B. Hick 2opoints;
W. H. Chastain 12 points.
in accordance with the above result,
the Judges awarded the following
prizes :
To Frank. Aycock, knight of Euhar-
I lec, a thorough bred gelding, valued
$300; an English saddle and bridle aud
silver cup, valued at SBO.
Jas. B. Conyers, knight of Etowah,
Texas bridle aud saudle and silver cup,
valued at S7O.
A vote of honor and a silk penon was
unanimously awarded to Capt. W. H.
Stiles, as displaying the best sabre prac
tice.
A vote of honor and a penon was al
so awarded to W. H. Chastain for the
best time.— Courier.
George P. Burnett for Con
gress.
Mr. Editor: J understand George
Burnett says a goodly number of his old
Beniocratic friends in this county will
vote for him in preference to General
Woru oi U/T .u. XL*-
conflict between the Democratic and
Radical parties. There is no compro
mise. If a man votes the Radical ticket
he is a Radical.
1 don’t believe Burnett will get—all
told—one hundred white votes in Floyd
county. A few unstable-wish-a-washey
men who call themselves Democrats, to
be considered respectable, may vote for
Burnett, but they are “ the boys ” who
have been, or will be, “greased.”
Every white man who votes for Bur
nett will be marked and remembered
for all time to come. Etowah.

Some of the Effects. —We quote
the following from the Philadelphia
Age, of Friday :
Some of the effects of negro voting
can be seen in Chester and Delaware
counties. The official majority fur J.
Henry Askin, Esq., the Democratic can
didate for Congress in Radnor, was 75
in a total poll of 320, including eleven
negroes, who all voted the Radical tick
et. Last year the Radical majority was
35. This makes a grin to the Demo
cracy of 110 in one year. The Radical
majority in Chester county, in 1868,
was 2,045. This year, over 1,200 ne
groes voted the Radical ticket, and the
majority runs down to 1,750. This
shows a loss of over 1,500. In Dela
ware, the same average Radical loss is
exhibited by the returns. This show's
that the Radicals lose more than they
gain by connection with the negro.
A Funny Story is going the rounds
in Paris. A lady in the first society
was recently obliged to dismiss her nurse
on account of an excess of firemen and
private soldiers too often repeated.—
After choosing as a successor to this
criminal a very pretty girl, the lady,
explaining why the first went away, eri
joined it on the second not to do like
wise. She admitted “ that she shouldn’t.
“ I can endure a good deal,” said the
lady, “but soldiers about the kitchen I
won’t endure.” After a week or eight
days, the lady came into the kitchen,
opened the cubboard and discovered a
youthful military character. “O,
ma’am ?” cried the girl, frightened, “ 1
give my word I never saw r that soldier
before in my life, he mus f have been
one of the old one’s left over by the
other girl V*

a medical gentleman who baa or can relieve tha

there no combination of temedial agents that will
come to her tescue ? We answer. Yea.
ENGLISH Female BITTERS,
The only acknowledged Uterine Tonic and Female
Regulator known, will cure all those complaint*
above mentioned in an inciediblv shott time. Tha
Hitters at once arouses, strengthens and restores
the womb to its natural condition, removing ob
sti unions, relieving pain and regulating the
monthly period. Yonder stands a pale, feeble
and languid girl, just bursting into womanhood ;
she is the pride of all, but hark! she silently steals
a pickle, eats chalk, or a slate pencil; no appetite
for food ; she turns with a dull eye and Seeks sol
itude ; ter eye no lorgrr spurkles; ber merry
laugh is no longer heatd ringing through the air;
she mopes about with bloodless lips and gums,
with headache, palpitation, constipation, swim
ming ot the he d,co!d teetand bands, melancholy;
she has a coated tongue, offensive breath, and a
host of other evils too numeious to memion.
NVhen neglected all these symptoms become
aggravated, there is sick stomach, heartburn, a
da'k line settles under the eyes, the legs and
ankles ine swollen, the hair loses its gloss and
'alls off, there is brittleness and splitting oi the
finger-nails, swollen abdomen, extreme nervous
ness, Ireifulness, pains and aches, dry cough.
Hysterical Fits, rapid prostrati n, epilepsy and
death! If you, or any of your friends, are thus
afflicted, send at once for a Bottle of English Fe
male Bitters and becurcd. Its effects are magical
i» such complaints. Sorely no mother will post
pone and delay this duty until
DEATH IS AT THE DOOR !
