Read and Reflect.

We find the following bits Of
wisdom unerediteG in an exchange.
We do not know, therefore, who
first wrote them:
Don't buy patent rights to sell
again.
Buy a farm wagon before a fHc
carriage. -..r1.
Don't become security for him
who waits for the sheriff:
Don't starve your land; if yot1
do you will grow lean.
Don't buy a piano for your
daughters, while your sons reed
a plow. -.
Don't leave to memory what
should be written ; it makes lsw-
suits.
Don't let your horses be seen
standing too much at the saloon );
it don't look right.
Don'tgive the merchant CHARGE
to dun you. Prompt payment
makes independent men:
Keep good fences, especially
line fences; they promote good
feelings between neighbors.
Decent, substantial clothing for
your children, makes them think
better Of themselves and keeps
the doctor away.
When the labors of the day arc
past, let good books and newspa-
pers invite the youngsters to the
sitting-room.

The Charleston Necs attaches
this significance to the removal by

"And upon this point the action
of Congress is susceptible OF a sim

ministration and the election to

sides house work. There arc
many people in the State who
formerly owneu slaves, and are
like ourselves; they like to be
where they can hear Cufee's loud
and happy laugh.
One of the most surprising
things about the sulky plow is the
number of acres that one hand and
two or four horses can cultivate
with them. Sixty acres Of corn is
what is allotted to a hand. Think
of ono zand making five or six
thousand bushels Of corn. know
this seems incredible to a man
who has never seen a crop Of corn
that would average more than
ten bushels per acre but I believe
it; I almost know it, judging from
what / saw.
The farms in Missouri vary in
size usually from eighty to one
hundred and sixty acres. Many
are however, smaller and many
larger than the above estimate.
The land is all good. There is no
necessity Of buying five hundred
acres to get one hundred that is
fit for cultivation. Since the war
the price Of corn in Missouri has
been from siXty-fve cents to QUO
dollar per bushel. Wheat has
usually sold for about one dollar.
Tobacco, hemp, &C., have brought
high prices. Missouri, especially
the South Western portion, which
is the preferable part Of the State,
is we'll settled by Virginians,
Marylaudcrs, Keutuckians, Tenn
esseeans, North Carolinians, some
Georglans, and now aud then a
stray South Carolinian. The
Northern people mostly go to
Kansas.
The question may be asked,
what about the health Of this
country? So far as I could learn
it was good. Some Intermittent
and somo remittont fevers prevail
in certain locations. Year before
last I was told, there were more
or less Of these complaints every
where, but of a mild type. I can't
see any cause for malarial fevers
unless it is the decay Of the luxu-
RANT vegetation, for there are no
swamps. Pneumonia, typhoid fe-
yer, dysentery, &C., Of course pre-
vail here as they do in all healthy
localities. A look at the people
will enable any one readily to
make up his mind about the health
of the country. Tho mon look
bold and athletic, the children
bright and rosy, and the women,
especially tho young oucs, fresh
and juicy.
The kind Of water used for
drinking is commonly cistern wa
ter, but everybody has an ice house
and Of course can have as good
cold water as he wants.
I have endeavored, Messrs. Edi-
tors, to give PLAIN, unvarnished
narrative, and state what [ be-
l;eve to be facts in reference to
Missouri. I was delighted with
this great State, and fully intend
to make it my future home. My
strongest motive for writing this
letter, is to wake up my friends
and acquaintancos, and induce
them to 60 with me. Missouri is
like a bouyant youth, full OF ami
nation and life, and is undoubted-
ly the country for the young and
aspiring. S. 6. WEIGH.

Provide for the Emergency
A Word to the Agriculturist.

We cordially unite with the
Chronicle and Sentinel, of Augusta,
Georgia, in advising our people to
provide against dearth Of pro-
visions, likely to result from war
in Europe. That war must en-
hauce the price Of brcadstuffs and
depress the value Of cotton. At
all timos, wo havo deemed it a
ruiuous policy to plant cotton to
tho exclusion Of corn and grain
generally. Now, more than evor,
does it become US to review this
policy. Our cotemporary says:
"There is time yet for some
thing to be done to sustain our
past error, and make Us less de-
pendent for food upon the North
and West. Nature has blessed US
with generous climate and a
fruitful soil, we'll adapted to the
growth Of grapes, small grain and
root crops. These grow and -four
ish here during the entire winter.
A few acres Of land we'll prepared
and properly enriched, will secure
a full and abundant crop Of tur-
nips, beets or carrots for the sup
ply of ANIMALS during the entire
winter and spring. A small plat
Of land, highly fertilizcd and sown
in rye or barley, early in Septem-
ber, will furnish large supplies of
forage, after the root crops shall
havo been exhausted. The long
stem blue collard is q hardy win
ter plant, and will yield more per
acre on good land, we'll prepared,
than any plant with which we
are acquainted. The collard is
highly nutritious for man and
beast, and for butter-making quail
tiles, is a superior food for milch
COWS. Let all these be tried.
We would suggest, as suitable
provision for ourpresent situation,
something like the following: For
a farm of ten mule forco, one acre
each in turnips, beets, carrots and
collards, and two acres in rye
The turnips (rutabaga's) should
DO sown in drills two and-a. half
feet apart from the goth to the
last of this month, the beets, car
rots and collards, also in drills in
the same distance, about the mid
die of August, and the rye, broad
cast, by the first of September.-
This will furnish full supply for
the work stock, cattle, sheep and
hogs on an ordinary plantation of
the size indicated. Mules, with a
very little care, can be kept fat
and in good working condition up
to the first of April. This is too
important matter to be neglee-
ted. Great distress, if not actual
starvation, must ensue in some To-
calities next year unless we take
time by tho forelock and amply
provide against such a lamentable
contingency. But it must be re-
membered that full crops can only
be made on land well prepared
and highly fertilizcd. Peruvian
guano or any of the standard su-
per-phosphates, in the absence of
rich stable manure or cotton seed,
at the rate of two hundred pounds
Of the Peruvian or three hundred
and fifty Of the super.phosphates,,
on land thoroughly plowed and
we'll narrowed, will be sufficient
to secure good crop. Let every
one try and relieve himself from
the clutches Of grain and bacon
spectators.

Agricultural Congress--To be
Held in the City of Angus
to, Ga, October 26, 1870.
We invite special attention to
the subjoined card:
TO Agrlculturists and Agricultural
Organizations throughout til e
country:
The necessity Of cooperation
amongst the agriculturists and
agricultural organizations of the
Southern States is becoming more
manifest every year. Public i'm
provements, the diffusion of agri-
cultural science, and the protection
Of the rights of agriculturists, have
not hitherto received the attention
which subjects Of such vast i'm
portance to ourprosperity demand,
and which are best secured by
voluntary association and COM
bined action.
The interests Of the cultivators
of the great staple productions of
tho Southern States demand a
central and united organization,
the object Of which shall be the
promotion of improved methods
of culture-cspeciaIly adapted to
: the productions peculiar to our
section-the improvement Of our
labor system, the encouragement
Of foreign immigration, and the
dirersi6cation Of our agricultural
products.
A general desire for an organi.
zation, with these objects in view,
is expressed by leading agricultu-
rists throughout the South.
1t is, therefore, proposed to Or
ganize an association which shall
meet annually at some accessible
point in one of the Southern States,
where agriculturists from every
section shall assemble to deliberate
in council, and fully communicate
the result of their experiences, as
tending to the advancement Of the
arts of husbandry and kindred
subjects.
1t is suggested that the initia-
tory assembly convene at Angus
ia, Ga, during the holding Of the
great fair of the "Cotton States
Mechanics and Agricultural Fair
Association in October next.
In furtherance Of the foregoing,
the undersigned have been ap-
pointed a joint committee from
the "Cotton States Mechanics and
Agricultural Fair Association" 1"
and from tho Augusta Board Of
Trade, to make all necessary az
rangemcnts for the first meeting,
which will be held in this city Oc-
tober 26, 1870.
The several States and county
organizations, throughout t b e
country, arc cordially invited to
send delegates.
The first business before tho as
sembly will be the permanent Or
ganization Of an Agricultural Con-
gress, election of officers, etc, TO
be followed by free discussion of
agricultural subjects.
The central location of Augusta,
and it's extensive railroad connec-
tions, make it easy Of access from
all points of tho country.
Arrangements are made with
the various railroads to carry dele
gatos free Of charge or at reduced
rates.
Delegates, in order to avail
themselves Of this privilege, will
have toprescnt duly authenticated
certificates Of appointment to the
Agricultural Congress.
Associations are requested to
report, as early as practicable, the
names and number of delegates
they may appoint.
ALI communications will be ad-
dressed to Mr.. E. II. Gray, Secre-
tary Cotton States NJ. l. A. Fair
Association.

susta Board of Trade.

RUNAwAY.-On Thursday afternoon, a
horse belonging to E. P. Weber, of Mineral
Point, which was hitched in front of the
court house, in this village, got loose and
ran away. The buggy, in turning cor
ner, was thrown over, the horse falling at
the same time. When the horse got up
he was disengaged from the buggy and
ran some distance before he could be
caught. The buggy was very badly bro.
ken, two hubs. number of spokes, the
entire box, the fills, and other parts of the
buggy, were broken. The harness was
considerably damaged.

BO- Assuming the position of RESPONSE
BILE editor of newspaper, appears to be
rather dangerous business, and we may
yet be driven for safety to piracy or high
way robbery. We trust our readers will
feel for us and at least appreciate our
efforts to get up coed news paper, when
we tell them that within the past few
weeks we have been threatened with being
pounded to a jelly" with having our
"head punched" and last, but not least,
with being prosecuted for 'libel;" all for
reporting items Of news of great interest
to the public, but in which the principal
actors were ashamed of the parts they had
taken in the matter.
The last threat was made on Saturday
last by a man who refused to give his
name, but who, from his looks and actions,
reminded us very much of man spoken
of in our paper of the 4th of February,
last, as being concerned in tarrng and
feathering poor defenceless boy near
Lone Rock. lie informed us that he pro-
posed to investigate that affair, and should
commence suit against US for
libel. We of course invited him to pro-
coed. Further particulars will be given as
the case progresses,

EeSsH The wall paper trimmer that we
mentioned a few weeks ago is really a
wonderful machine it never makes a mis-
take, always taking the paper off the roll,
trimming 1t to any desired width and at
the same time rolling it up again. 1t
takes very little time to trim large
amount of paper, and is done much better
than any one can do it by hand. The pa
per is worth much more after having pas
sed through the machine, as very nearly
one half the work is saved in hanging the
paper. lfany one is in want of wall paper
we would advise them to go to the Post
office in Mineral Point and purchase. for
the reasons: LIST. There is greater as
sortment to choose from. I'd. You can
get paper at his place that you cannot buy
any where else in the county. Sd. You
can get il trimmed to perfection at the
rate of a roll per minute, free of charge.

Important Notice to Farmers.
A Notice having been circulated amc

A Notice having been circulated among
farmers. by G. Fl. Mccormick & Bro
warning them not to settle with me for
Mccormick machinery, which have sold.
All parties interested, are hereby notified,
that all said notes are in my possession,
that all who may be ready can pay me and
get their notes. A thing they cannot do,
of G. Fl. Mccormick & Bro. Of course all
will know that if they pay and get their
notes, they must be right; while if they

me, they are not released, but still held
liable to pay their notes. Pay the man
who sold YOU the machine, and can deliver
you your note, and then You are sure to
be right.
You all know that the Mccormick Ad
vance Reaper, has proved to be total and
complete failure, and that they have been
returned by the hundreds? have taken
them back in all cases where they were
failures, and parties were dissatisfied. and
returned to the parties their notes. still
claim to do this until all parties are salts
fed and that might be in situation to
do my full duty in this respect, have and
hold, all the notes for this purpose, and
also, to indemnify myself for damages,
commission and claims. which l justly
have against Mccormick & Bro, and
which they refuse to pay or settle.
Mccormick & Bro, finding their worth
less machines being refused from all direc-
tons, have sent out horde of agents to-
take my place, have notified farmers that
their machines, which, have nearly ruined
many poor farmers, must be paid for to
them, and not be returned to, or settled
for with me. The following are names of
some of the farmers who have returned
the Mccormick Reaper, and which ought
to satisfy all. of It's being perfect failure
