For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs.
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
end Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history OF
medicine, has anything Won widely and SO deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series OF years, and among most of the races Of
men 1t has risen higher and higher in their estima-
ton, as 1t has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat have made it known as re-
liable PROTECTOR against them. While adapted to
mder forms of disease and TO young children il il
Mt the time the cffectual remedy that can
be given for incpient consumption, and the dam
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. As pro-
vision against sudden attacks OF Group, 1t should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them
Although settled CONSUMPTION Is thought in
curable still great numbers of where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry PICTORIAL. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield TO it. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the CHERRY Pec-
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from 1t.
Asthnaa IL always relieved and often wholly
cured by 1t.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking tho
Cherry PICTORIAL in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them hsfe, do more
than assure the public that It's qualities aro fy5
maintained.

How the Negroes are Working-"Forty
Acres and Q Mule'-Prospects, Ac.


rFRoM AN occAsroNAL CORRESPONDENT
FoaK, R1cHIAND COUNTY, May Ain COM
pliance with your request to those eng aged In
agriculture throughout the State to give you
from time to time, information in regard to
growing crops, will endeavor briefly to give
you the condition of things in this section.
AS to the extent OF land planted in cotton,
do not think it exceeds very much that Of last
year; less land md more thorough cultiva.
tt On seems to be the disposition OF all. Nearly
every one has planted corn for home demand,
and the young corn generally looks well. 1t
has been the custom here for planters to COM
mence to plant cotton about the 10th Of April.
On Monday, 18th, the weather was quite cool
and unseasonble, in some places ice was seen in
the troughs about the farm yards. Many COM
menced planting, foping for favorable change
in day or two. On the Goth there was q good
tall OF rain, which was much needed to bring
forward the cotton planted, and which now be-
gan to come up and grow off finely. But from
this time Goth April to the Sd Of May, during
which time most Of the cotton vas planted, J
there was too much rain, with. very cool
nights. This caused the cotton to come up bad
ly, grow offvery slow, and, in many instances,
to die out after it came up. The plautati 0ns
adjacent to the river seem to have suffered
most.
Fortunately, as far as can learn, most Of
those who have had to replant have been able
to procure seed, and should We have late fall
it may not, to any material extent, lessen the
crop.
The freedmen, generally, have gone to work
with great deal Of energy, and seem to have
q great desire to make money. Unfortunately
for them, too many who could command good
wages, and by economy and careful manage
ment IN tim save enough to make fair start,
have settled off to themselves on few acres
of land, and not having intelligence to direct
their praiseworthy industry, they grow poorer
and poorer, and the coveted 'forty acres and
mule" gets further and further in tho gloomy
future,
am glad to notice more general disposi-
tion among them to rely more upon, and to be
less suepic1ous OF, their former owners. They
are learning gradually, by practical experience,
(the only way ever thought they could learn
It) that their only hope for anything like pros
perity is through the assistance to be given
them by th'se they have been taught to look
upon as enemies.
This has always besn remarkably q uiet
section. Politics seem to be very little thought
or We are represented by very quiet color
ed man, Hon. Esop Goodsop, who, either from
the fact OF not knowing anything to say for the
good Of the public, or not knowing how to siy
It, wisely kept quiet. HIS example might have
been followed, to their credit by a good many
who, in their Efforts to gain renown, brought
themselves 10 rldlcule.
We are now having fine weather, and the
prospect for crop looks better. w.
