has been planted; but in consequence of the
damage by cold, many farmers planted the
second time, when they could get seed, and
others have plowed up their cotton fields
and planted in corn. Those who let their
cotton stand, and worked it early have been
agreeably disappointed, for they have fair

soil was light and sandy than in stiff clay
land. A week ago there was need of rain.

The Iron.cIad Oath

It. seems that the Joint resolution which
passed both Houses of Congress and is now
awaiting the signature or veto of the President
removes from Office those who cannot take the
iron clad oath Of July End 1862, and their
places will be supplied by the District Com
mander with those who can take it. Several
weeks ago the papers publishing the resolution
gave the date of the oath as that of July 22nd,
1866, which, made the erroneous impression
that it was not the iron-cIad, as the date of
that issJuly End, 1862 The following is the
resolution as now reported by the Associated
Press despatch, dated Washington, Feb. 9th:
Resolved, By the Senate and House of Rep
resentauves of the United States OF America,
Ia Congress assembled, - saifo. i2 ~
That the persons now holding civil offices in
the provisional governments of Virginia and
Texas, who cannot take and subscribe to the
oath prescribed by the act entitled IAN act to
prescribe an oath of office, and other purposes,
approved July End, 1862 SHALL on the passage
Of this resolution, be removed therefrom
And it shall be the duty of the district com.
mander to fill the vacancies SO created, by the
appointment of persons who can take said
oath; provided the provisions of this resolu-
ton shall not apply to persons who, by reason
of the removal of their disabilities as provided
in the fourteenth amendment to the consttu-
ton, shall have qualified for any Office in pur-
suance of the act entitled an act prescribing an
oath of Office for persons from whom legal dis
abilities have been removed, approved July
,1lth, 1868; and, provided further, that this
resolution shall not take effect until thirty days
from and after its passage. rfea H ,oH fsgdJi,

ton shall be, and is hereby, extended to and
made applicable to the State of Mississippi. Il.

Valuable Implement.

At the several Fairs lately visited by us we
saw maay new and valuable implements, to
which from time to time we purpose to call at
tention. For the especial benefit of our fair
readers we will first notice shWaddelFs Rotary
Churn Power for operating the old fashioned
upright churn-patented in June 1868, in our
opinion the most desirable new invention which
has come to our attention, for those who use
the common, churn. Experience has estab-
lished the superiority Of the old churn over all
others, land that superiority consists in the fact
that it makes butter slowly. Rapid churning
is not desirable; it scalds the cream, and makes
white, spongy and Indifferent butter that will
not keep. The old churn makes the best but,
ter and more of it, than any other, and the
only drawback on5its use, has been the heavy
labor attending it.. TO relieve that labor, is
the design of this machine, and that it does do
it, can be seen at a glance. 1t is simple. dura7
bic and cheap and no one who gives it a fair
trial, will abandon Its USE -Fd,paers Gazette.
We are pleased to learn that the Machine SO
favorably noticed above by the Farmers Ga

valuable addition to the list of Labor saving
