think that if in some of newly established
journals, the material furnished them, had
been poured into some Of The already exls-
ting channels of communication with the
farming community, it would have been
well for both. While we cordially welcome
every new laborer to the agricultural field,
we feel bound 10 state that in order to make
an agricultural Journal useful, difficulties
and Iabors Of which the uninlliated are in
competent to Judge, will in all probability
be encountered, before the success. which
we ,rus. is in store for them, will be effect"

JoURNEYMEN PRINTERS.

There is said to be scarcity generally
of Journeymen Printers, which is 10 be as.
crbed to the increase of book and newspaper
printing, corresponding with the increase Of
population, and also to the fact that fewer
apprentices are taken in this business.
Within the last seven years there has been
an evident Improvement in the character
and habits of Journeymen Printers. AL.
though the business is by no means laborIous
or painful, and the press work exceedingly
light Of lale, yet so it was sthat some years
ago Journeymen printers, with exceptions OF
course, were ranked as an incorporate body
of men, and of very unsteady characters.
This may have been the cause why few
boys of education and family were aPpren.
,iccd to The business. 1t is a pleasure now
to witness the improvement in the charac,
ter and department Of Journeymen Printers
they are behind no class of mechanics in
reputation and business habils, andthat fact
should encourage parents of respectablli'y
to apprentice their sons to the business
provided they are disposed to learn some
mechanical trade. Ofthe high character of
the printing business, the rank i, takes, and
always will take, the great men who have
followed it, and the great consequences re.
sulting from it not word is required to be
said-it is the great moral lever which con.
trolls the civilized world.-N Y. Star.

keep them properly. Get your pastures all
well set in grass; and so divided that you can
have constant succession ofpasturage. Make
all arrangements for an abundant supply of
winter food, not forgetting to prepare suitable
shelter for their comfort and their protection
against the storms. And then get your de-
termination well fortified to give them unre.
mitting attention at all seasons. Don't buy
cattle and promise yourselves to get ready af-
teswards; it won't do. There's no Joking
with the belly, and as little with the belly OF
COW as any other anima! Durham if cattle kept
no better than the native stock, are little supe-
rior to the latter, except as propagators of'a
progeny, which with good keep, may be made
perfect at will. In hardihood, we believe them
inferior to the common stock; they cannot,
like the latter, "work for nothing and lind
themselves" nor give milk ani make flesh
without food. But only give both breeds high
keep and full feed, and the difference in the
Durhams is amazing. In comparison, the
scrubs look like the lean kline of Egypt: We
have many young acquaintances to whom we
particularly address these suggestions and
fhey will promote their solid interests by ap~
preciating them. And there are number OF
Young friends IN Kentucky, Tennessee, Indi-
ana, Illinois, and Missouri, to whom we can
impart some new and valuable information in
relation to the pedigrees of Durham cattle
subject of great concern just now, and pro.
peyly so. We communicate the information
through the franklin Farmer. to save the la
Dor of answering separately their inquiries,
and for the further purpose of eniightening
many more who would otherwise very probably
seek it by private correspondence. So we
save labor and postage. 1t is this: In stating
at due length the genealogy or descent of a
high bred cattle, it is clearly understood that,
however unexceptlonable the pedigree, and
however pure the blood Of male and female
ancestry, the CORN CROSS is necessary and
indispensable requisite to the perfection Of the
particular individuals named in the record.
And if the pedigree Of an animal shows him
well descended from pure ancestry, the addi-
ton o that cross will make HIM perfect spe-
cimen of well bred race. Every animal to
whose pedigree this cross cannot be added,
should be rejected as vile scrub.

These migchievous little insects have.
we regret to learn, committed great ravages
upon the wheat crops in the adjoinins
counties of Chatham, Orange, Granville
and Franklin. In some instances, whole
fields have been entirely destroyed. and
great fears are entertained that they will next
attack the corn,* TO which they also are
very destructive. They cluster around the
stalk in incredible numbers, suck out its
substance, and it soon wi,hers and falls to
the ground. In some places, to prevent
their reaching the corn, for which they are
marching in clouds. the farmers dig litile
ditches and fill them with straw, in which
the bugs make temporary halt, and are
burnt-the operation of burning being ire
quently repeated, during the day. Although
the bugs have wings they travel on the
ground. They are natives Of the forest |;
and it is sail that where the woods are
occasionally burnt, they never become
troublesome. Ralelgn 0'a''
*This they have already done TO con-
siderable exten., it is said, in Mecklenburg
and Anson counties.

THE WHEAT CROP.

The Charlottesville (va.) Aduocate, OF
Saturday says -" The Wheat :harves, 10
this section of conn,:y, has commenced.
The weather has been for several days
very favorable, and We are pleased 10 learn
that the crop gives fair promise Of On a.
bundant yield. The greatest complaint now
is the irregularity in the maturity OF the
grain. The fields appear to rlpen in spots,
and there is an unusual portion of young
wheat intermixed with :hc ripe. Most OF
the wheat we believe is now beyond the
reach of ordinary contingencies, and it Is
believed to be considerably over an average
crop.

NATIONAL MAGAZINE AND REPUBLICAN
REvIEw.-We have copied the Prospectus Of
this periodical not that we have any thought
of embarklng on the sea Of party politics; but
because the work is sent to us in exchange,
and for the information Of those among our
readers who approve its politics.

"Gsorgeuile, Miss. May 10, 1889.
You would be astonished at the condi.
ton of things in this State. 1t is difficult to
say, who is solvent, there has been SO much
speculation. Negroes sell pretty well 10

brough, $50 per acre, now sells for sevensy
fine cents. There are, to my knowledge,
thousands Of acres OF good and fresh land,

The VICE PREsIDENT.-The following is an
extract from letter written by Col. Johnson
Vice President of the U. States, in reply to
an inquiry if he wished to decline being a
candidate for reelection.
I have never authorized the DEGRADATION that
was unwilling to be the Democratic candidate
for second term if my fellow.citizens desired
it. have no reasons which dld not exist at
nv first nomination, why should refuse the
same station il reelected. | wish it, howev.
er, distinctly understood that have always
declared to all with whom have c6nvefsed on
this head, that I was not only willing, but
would most cheerfully re.ire, if II should be
ascertaned that it was the wish Of those who
elected me that another should be selected to
fill the place.
In connection with the above we copy from
the Emancipator, the leading organ of the
abolitionists the following statement OF Col.
Johnson's sentiments IN regard to abolition.
Whether he is correctly represented or not
we are unable to say.
PUBLIC HeNoRs.-The following pro.
ceedings took place on Monday, June I'd,
in the Board Of Aldermen Of The city OF
New York. 80. Ee.,..-.5s.
"Alderman Purdy offered resolution,
that, whereas II had always been the habit
of emocratcFepresentative Of the people
TO show honor upon every proper occasson-
to much honored individuals, who had ren.
dered important services to their country;
and whereas, Col. Richard M. Johnson,
Vice President of the United States on the
occas on of his recent visit to this city, had
| not been treated with the respect usually
accorded to persons of his elevated station;
that a committee Of three from each Board
be appointed TO invite him to visit this city
| again and to receive him in manner be.
coming that illustrious advocate Of civil and
religious freedom"
Wnen Col. Johnson was here, on The
occasion above referred to he took much
pains 10 express to some of the &c itlemen
of color his deep interest in the question Of
their rights and prospects, as all he should
leave behind him at death (his two daugh.
ters) were identified in destiny with them:
He also declared that each of his own
slaves held deed of emancipation, and
would never serve any but himself He
. introduced his colored visitors to many OF
tn public characters that called at his
lodgings, and expressed many sentiments
highly honorable 10 his heart.
Nor IS this interest in The cause Of abolt.
ton thing ofrecent origin in the breast OF
Col. Johnson. So long ago as the egta.
ton of the Missouri ques ion, although he
was in favor Of the admission of Missouri
he took occasion 10 express his sentiments
in favor of the abolition cause, and OF indl.

in their first year. There are probably
100000 families IN the United States that
are devoted to agriculture, and that each of
these should take paper designed to sup.
port their interests cannot well be denied.
There would seem then to be room for as
many or even more papers, such as we have
noticed. than arc now issued, but that even
all these can succeed, is to say The least
problematical. 1t may be doubted whether
all the above papers circulate more than
100000 copies, and oflhese three -fourths of
the whole are issued bv some five or six of
the journals. A paper devoted to agricul.
,ure, to the arts or sciences, or even to lit.
erature, occupies very different ground from
poliucal journal ; and it by no means fol-.
lows that, because every county supports
one or two Of the latter, that the same will
be done by the former. To render the first
what they should be requires the combined
labors and observations of large circle of
individuals men of scientific rcsourc 3,
and men of practical skill acquainted with
the modes of agricultural or mechanical
manipulation, as we'll as the theories on
which their business is based, and their la
bors and efforts directed to produce com.

WHAT LOVE.
love to see the morning Sun
Just rising in Inc cast;
This splendid scene dispcrses gloom
And makes the earth rejoice.
love to sec the morning flowers
That grow on every hill;
The woody grove, the shady bowers
Have charms, my soul to fill.
love to hear the gay birds sing
Their joyous notes of love;
And in their sports from limb to limb,
Gods goodness we observe.
love to hear Boreas roar
Among the lofty pines
The solemn sound conveys my thoughts
TO far moro lofty climes.
love the lonely country dome
The scenes of rural life!
That blessed spot call my homo
With joys for me is rife.
love the social 6rcside
Where peace and friendship reign:
The cup of Joy is here supplied
And filled up to the brim.
love hundred other things
Too tedious here to tell
This world is not vale Of tears
We love it much too we'll. B.

Among others a law to suppress tippl

relation 10 the pcnitentiary, and the
punishment of crimes. This act was

take up the whole of this work and act
upon it at once, instead of adopting it
by peace-meal, as they are, during ses-
sion after session.

opted entirely at once, or such parts Of
it as arc worthy of adoption.

TO TIE PATRONS OF the PINEY WOODS PLANTER.
My private affairs having rendered it necessa
ry that | should dissolve my connection, as ed
tor, with the Planter, it will for the future be
conducted solely by my friend Mr.. ToTHLL My
| earnest solictude, however, fof its success and
standing does not terminate here, ana am hap
py that in taking my leave, entertain no ap
prehensions that its ultimate aim OF usefulness
will be defeated, feeling fully assured that it vii
continue as it ever has been the reflector of truth
the firm and unwavering advocate of the
rights of the people and the incorporating op
ponent of Bank and Federal domination.
The PLANTER has passed through the most try
ing ordeal, its enemies after having fruGlcssly
expended their rage and malignity have sunk tt
inglorious silence, its real friends have been Sc
vercly tried and well proved; and now with a
larger shee unfurled to the breeze it will cont
nue. proudly and safely to ride the angry waves
of party conflict, despite the storms and whirl
winds that the black spirit of Federalism may
raise around it.
The zeal and ability which Mr.. Tothill has al
ready manifested in expounding the principles
and maintaing the true interest of the Republt
can party will doubtless, as it should do guar
antee to him the support and hearty cooperation
of the Democracy of Amite and her sister coun
ties.
1t has been truly said that tho rose has its
thorns and human nature its foibles and its fol
lies; and am well aware that during the brief
space of my editorial services | enjoyed no ex.
emption from the frailty that falls to the common
lot of mortals, still have the proud consolation
of feeling-conscous that in all instances my
conduct was directed by an earnest zeal to pro
mote the sacred cause of TRUTH and every action
dictated by the sincere dosiro to sustain and ad
vance those principles which seemed calculated
to promote the peace and happiness of the com.
munity,-and if errors were committed, flowing
as they did from the purest and best motives,
they were the result of falliblc Judgment and
not of a wicked and corrupt heart.
While bidding kind adcu to the readers Of
the PLANTER, should do manifest violence to
the best feelings of my heart were to neglect
this opportunity OF rendering my sincere and
heartfelt acknowledge to a generous COM
munity, at whose hands instead of the cold lea
den coin of civility, have received the pure,
glowing gold of warmth and friendship To
those who nobly stood by and sustained me in
the hour of greatest trial, when the demon.spr-
its of malice and Misrepresentation seemed COM
bined in a hellish league to work my overthrow
and ruin, feel degree of gratitude that no
language can adequately express. But the flame
does not burn less brightly because its light is
concealed; and though language fail, the CRATE
full heart will long retain the fresh remembrance
OF every past favor and kindness.
