LABOR IN NORTHERN ALABAMA.
/ FFrom the Tnacnmhia AAhamIan, l0th.1
Many OF our farmers have supplied them
/ selves with laborers, aud We think but d small
/ portion Of the negroes are unemployed for TIL
| present year. First class hands Without en-
| cu1nbrance have hired Tor 500 per year, with
tations, quarters and wood, the negro t
clothe himself and pay his own doctor bill
We hare heard Of no dlsorlerly conduct o.
the part Of the negroes during the holidays
indeed none was anticipated Ii this section
Unless labor Is brought from abroad three
fourths OF The farming land In this valley vii
! remain uncultfyatcd this year. It Is not ye
too late, and we hope to see some efforts mad
to cultisate-tlc land in our vicinity.
