Sir,-I take great pleasure in stating that, af-

fifteen years. Mt some periods much more than
others, have been entirely cured by the use of
Goes Dyspepsia Cure My friends know that of
late years my case has been an extreme one /
had great suffering from eating any kind of food,
and on an average would vomit about one third
of my meals, In sour indigestible mass. When
the severe attacks would come, would lose all
strength and be utterly helpless. Some of the
attacks would be so severe that for days t0geth-
er | would not retain anything on my stomach,
save little dry toast and tea. For years knew
not what II was to pass FIVE consecutive hours
without intense pain. From the time took the
first dose of this medicine ceased vomiting
gradually all soreness passed away, and flesh and
strength returned, and ever since have been
able to eat any kind Of food set upon the table.
Six months have now passed without any symp-
toms of the return of hedisease My case was
considered by all, even physicians, so marvellous,
that for time 1t was feared that 1t might be flc-
titious but am now SO well convinced that I

cured, that / can conscientiously recommend

Farming in Jackson COunty--NO.1s.
BY THE EDITOR.


1t must not be thought that farming
in this county thirty or forty years ago
was confined to corn, wheat, oats and
potatoes. Besides these, and the tur-
nips, beans, pumkins, &c, there were
cultivated tobacco, cotton and flax. /
have perhaps, in other articles, spoken
of these heretofore but that was two
or three years ago, Or longer, and many
of my present readers, the young es-
peOially, have not read these descrip-
tions.
As / have often remarked there was
no money in circulation. If person
could get enough money to pay his
taxes, lie considered himself well off.
| have known some of the most thrifty
men who could not handle twenty dol
lars year. There was no money to
buy clothing, and it had to be manufac-
tured in each family, for family use.
Nearly all, men and women, used to-
bacco The men chewed, and the wo-
men smoked the pipe, There were no
cigars then. The people were spared
the disgusting spectacle of a roll of to-
baeco, with a coal of fire at one end of
it, and a fool at the other.
In February brush heap was burn
ed and when the ground became cool
enough, it was dug up and raked, and
the tobacco seed sown. This seed is
the smallest of all seeds. When the
plant was large enough it was trans
planted, and then hoed through the
summer. When the seed bud appear
ed in the center Of the plant, it was
pinched out, and pretty soon sprouts,
or suckers, would come out above the
leaves. These had to be pi, ched out.
The tobacco worm had to be closely
watched and kept off, or it would eat
great holes in the leaves. But | must
leave off this week, and speak further
of the cultivation of tobacco in my
next.

E9-semmes, the Pirate, in speaking for sey-
mour and Blair, at Mobile, Ala, last week, says:
''Ihqre been a Democrat all my Rfe--before the
war, during tie war, and since the war-aBd
fought the var on The principles Of Democracy"
On which the Detroit Post keenly Observes:
The admiral" declares that he fought the war
on the principles of Democracy. We do not dis
pute this His plan was carefully to avoid all
fghting vessels and prey upon the weak and un-
armed merchant vessels. He used to hoist the
stars and stripes as decoy, and then seize, plum
der and burn such vessels as were thus dcluded
into allowing him to approach them. This very
fairly resembles the principles of Democracy,
it must be confessed, and when the Alabama was
finally encountered aud sunk by a loyal armed
vessel, Semmes sneaked off for protection to
British soil. This toO was Democratic" dur
ingthe war. AS q Democrat, he drew his sword
against the old flag. Nobody will dispute him
there. And now he hurries to ''ratify and re-
joice over the nomination Of Seymour and Blair. y

Cheering.

Our readers know that we have not
been over sanguine as to the prospects
of the success Of the Republican party
in our county this fall We have been
ofthe opinion thatit will take hard work
to carry the county.
We have been conversing with men
from all parts of the county during the
past two weeks, and they all report "a
vorably. Our men are all in earnest,
and at work, and no one from the
country seems to doubt that we will
carry the county by at least two hun
dred majority. Thisis cheering news,
and should animate our friends to re-
newed effort. If the organization to
be effected on Saturday shall work as
we'll as we anticipate, our majority can
be made reach five hundred. Go to
work, and continue to work, until the
election. That is the way to do it.

Seen-no more.
A Western paper says that General
Frank Blair will deliver temperance
lectures during the campaign. 5
Every negro becomes "intelligent," :"
"moral, !" refined" and "white," the
moment he votes the Democratic ticket.
Seymour's physicians say he is likely
to become crazy within year. If he
has any hopes of defeating Grant, he is
crazy already. ana
The Wheeling Iatelhgencer says -
"Mr Chase has sent a lock of his hair
to the Democrat from California who
gave him half a vote" '1
A Southern Democrat pretty nearly
hit the general feeling Of his section
when he said he was converted rebel,
but "liable to backslide." f,
1t IS significant that Seymour and
Blair have the support of but single
member of the Cabinet The others
are either for Grant or take no part.
