to duly consider the important fact that no
people can become wealthy who consume
more than they produce Here we need a
cotton factory, saw mills, sash, door and
blind mandatory, gram, meat and forage Of
all kinds. Would it not be well for our cap
itaiIsts and farmers to hold a meeting at no
distant day for the purpose of taking steps
to check the flow of money from our midst ?
BY so doing a great good might be Effected
and millions of wealth secured to the cit
zens Of Hardemsn. We hope to hear from
friends Of home Improvement and local
prosperity on this question, and will take
pleasure in publishing ali communications
both for and against the subject matter re-
ferred to.
Put the ball in motion and let 1t roll and
gather strength as it rolls. Come to the
rescue Something must be done to drive
off " hard times"

without parallel in the history of Ague medicine
Our pride is gTatiied by the acknowledgements we
receive of the radical cures effected IN obstinate
cases, and where other remedies had wholly failed.
Unacclimated persons, either resident IN, or
travelling through miasmafic localities, viii be pro-

Of the Liver it is m excellent remedy, stimulating
the Liver into healthy activity
For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it is
excellent remedy, producing many truly re-

Last Monday week Senator Joseph S
Fowler, Of Tennessee, in the Senate of the
United States, while advocating the passage
Of the bin to admit Virginia, took occasion
to confute the SANDERS which had been put
forth from time to time recently, on the Sen
ate floor, to the prejudice of the loyalty Of
the people of Tennessee He Indignantly
denied the charges against his State, and
denounced them as unmitigated SANDERS
He asserted that it was susceptible of the
easiest proof that Tennessee, since the war
has been more orderly, has had less rioting.
outrage and murd er in her borders than at
any similar period before the war. and that
in this respect he could show, by actual
figures, that Tennessee stood in much
more favorable aspect than did the loyal
State Of Pennsylvania He said he was not
willing to sit and hear Senators utter SLAM

could not be made good by proof. lie in
formed the Senate that the Republican par
ty had lost Tennessee simply and purely be-
cause there was not wisdom and virtue
enough in the Republican ranks in the State
to hold the power there.

Ayers Cherry PectOral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and COnsumutiOn.

Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has anything so 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 t has risen higher and higher in their estima-
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made il known as
liable protector against them. While adapted to
miIder forms of disease and to young children, it Is
at the same time the most ehectual remedy that
be given for incipient consumption, and the dan
gerous affections OF the throat and lungs. as pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group it should
be kept 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
durable, still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry PectOrGL. So complete Is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate OF them yield to 1T. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
tOTdL they sUbside and disappear
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from it.
IsfT,nta is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry PectOTGJ in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that we need
publish the certificates of them here, do
than assure the public that its qualities are fully
maintained.

Tn1NK OF r." Dull times" - 40 money

like expressions arc heard on al sides. For
this there is q reason, and the reason is this:
We consume too much and produce too lit
tie. If the money was now in this county
that has been paid out for northern meat
and flour aIone, to say nothing Of manuf:c-
tured wares, and goods in the last twelve
months, irwould be sufficient ia erect per

we do not believe our people will have the
use of more than two thirds of the money
this year they had last year, and times were
dull enough then, goodness knows, and had
it not been for the large amount of building
being done, it certainly would have been far
worse than it was The pay Of mechanics,
their wants and necessities went along
ways to keep almost every kind Of business
up to q mark of responsibility. How will
it be when they are compelled to seek other
points for lack of employment here? The
question is easily answered, and the answer
is not a pleasing one although it embodies
the truth. Capital must be used; manutae-
tories must be erected mechanics and oper-
atives must be employed; our farmers must
turn their attention ta the production Of the
necessaries of life and not devote so much
time. soil and labor to the raising Of cotton.
There is little money IN the best cotton crop
in the county as long as meat brings 20
cents per pound There IS not farmer IN
the county who does not know and Tho will
not say that it Is far easier to raise two
poundsof meat than it is to raise one Of cot~
ton; that it can be done in less than half
the time and with half the labor. We ear
nestly call the serious attention OF our REQ
