A Boys Composition ON the Goat

A goat is stronger than pig, and gives
milk. He looks at you-so does the doc
tor-but goat has four legs. My goat
butted Deacon Tillinghast in bad place,
and little calf wouldn't. do so. A Boy
without father is an orphan, and if he
hGint got no mother he is two orphans.
The goat don't give as much milk as the
COW, but more than the OK. l saw an OK
at fair one day with card tied to his
left ear, and we went in on family ticket.
Mother picks geese in the summer, and
the goat eats grass and jumps on a box.
Some folks don't like goats; bat as for me,
give me a mule with a paiut brush tail.
The goat is useful animal, but don't smell
as sweet as nice bears oil for the hair. II
I had too much hair would wear wig,
as old Capt. Peters does. will sell my
goat for So, and go to the circus to see
the elephant, which is bigger than five
goats. Father is coming home tomorrow
and the baby has got the Group bad.

a Word to Planters.

The past year has been a most disas-
trous one to the planters of the South. In
many sections the owners of land are re-
firing from planting and renting to ne
eroes. We fear that this step will not
remedy existing evils, or repair the disaS-
tiers of the past AS the time has nearly
arrived when arrangements must be made
for the approaching crop. it becomes q
serious question with our agriculturists
how these disasters can be remedied. AS
we are led to believe that the price of cot
ton has been affected by the quantity pro
duced, it is proper that mistakes are not
made in "pitching crops" which cannot
be corrected at later period.
The present price OF cotton 10 now be-
low the average cost Of production, oil
least in the uplands, il not throughout the
