COMPUTING Here is a
new method of computing interest
on any number of dollars at six per
cent. which appears simple (;
Multiply any given number Of dol
lars by the number of days Of inter
est desired, separate the right hand
figure, and divide by six, the result
is the true interest of such sum for
such number of days at six per cent.
This rule is SO simple and so trne, ac.
cording to all business usages, that
every banker, broker, merchant or
clerk should post it up for reference.
There being no such thing as IA frac-
ton in it, there is scarcely any liabil-
ity to error or mistake. By no 9TH
or arithmctical process can the des-
ired information be Obtained by so
few figures.

the labor is TO come from to save the
crops-mean time every black man

own the crops and refuse to share
them with the whites unless well paid
for the same. Formerly the whites
owned both negroes and crops-now
