the failure OF cotton, says the Albany
(Ga.) Neacs, over which there is 80
much murmuring at present, may We
a blessing in the end. II we had
been successful in our cotton, there
would have been an increased crop
next year, much to the damage OF
the planter. Last year and the year
before whatever money was gather
I'd from cotton went to the great
West for corn and bacon This year
Providence has given us a grain
crop, and we will make our own
bread. Therefore, with 4 moderate
cotton crop, we will have more money
for actual comforts than before, with
cotton at the present price; we shall
have an increase in our wheat. corn,
oats and hay crop next year. This
will greatly enhance our prosperity (;
we can eat bread not borrowed or
bought on a credit but raised by our
selves. Let cotton, much or little
he made, we will be- able to live, and
not withstan,ling DEGREES OF Govern.

crease, and whether freedmen will
work or not, of our bread we shall b.
sure. Let us take courage and 60 to
work. and much that now seems lost
