JONES'.

Ihe following little story, with its
moral, though written for the Macon
tGeorgia) Telegraph, is quite too
good to be enjoyed by the farmers of
the South alone.
fknew man. and he lived in Jones'
Which Jones Is a acoenty of red hills
and stones,
And he lived pretty much by getting
of loans,
And his mules were nothing but skin
and bones, ......" ....
And his hogs were nat as cotn-bread
OIL. pones, ..- f.
And he had bout q thousand acres
oi'land. .'.
This man-and his name was also
Jones ..... -
He swore that he'd leave them old red
hills and stones,
For he couldn't make nothing but yell
lowish cotton,
And little OF that aud his fences were
rotten,
And what little corn that he had, that
was DOuEnttn,
And he couldn't get pliving from
the land.
And the longer he swore the madder
lac got, "..-.t s J.,
And he rose and he walked to the sta
'ble lot,
And he halooed to Tom+o come there
and hitch,
For to emigrate somewhere where
land was rich,
And to quit raising cock-burs, this
ties and sieh,
And wasting their time on barrel
land.
So him and Tom they hitched mp the
mules,
Protesting that folks were mighty big
That nd stay in Georgia their lifetime

Just scratching a living, when all OF
them mought
Get places in Texas, where cotton
would sprout
BY the time you could plantit in the
land.
And he drove by ahouse where man
named Brown
Was living not lar from the edge OF
the town,
And he bantered Brown for to buy his
place,
And said that seeing that money was
skace,
Aud seeing as sherifs were hard to
face,
Two dcllrrs az acre would get the
land.
They closed at a COLLAR and fifty cents,
And Jones he bought him a wagon
and tents,
And loaded his corn, and his women,
and truck,
And moved to Texas, which 1t took
His entire pile, with the best Of luck,
To get there and get him q little
land.
But Brown moved out on the old
Jones farm,
And he rolled up his breeches anG
barred his arm,
And he picked up all the rocks from
otf'n the ground,
And he rooted it up and plowed II
down.
And sowed his corn and wheat in
the land.
Five years glid by, and Brown, one

weigh.)
Was sitting down. sorter lazily,
To the bulliest dinner y GU ever see,
When one Of his children jumped on
his knee
And says, Vans Jones, which you
bought his land"
And there was Jones, standing out nj
the fence,
And he hadn't no wagon, nor mules,
nor tents, .-
For he had left Texas afoot and come
To Georgia to see if he couldn't get
some
Employment, and he was looking as
humble as If he had never own

But Brown he asked him i'm and he

And when he had filled himself and

there was in the land"

the Ironton Journal, taken
from the Jackson Standard
which reminded one oil the ia

ger" The writer starts out by
saying she does not wish 10
say one word against anything
that is good" then goes on to
say a good many words against
the Foreign Missionary work
attempting to prove that "Dine.
ty in every one hundred in this
Christian lend are in 10 better
condition than are the Chinese,
or other heathen." Again he
oMrms that his object is, "not
to oppose foreign missions"
and in the same sentence tells
as we have no prospect of
success" when statements Ger,
tainly leave US in doubt as to
his honest convictions, or
whether, iadeed, ke have any
or not, fol-. as is said CT the SER
penI,
at wigg!ed IN ana wiggled out.
Leaving the people still In doubt,
Whether the snake that made the
track
Was going south or coming back"
So were his tracks OF doubtful
tendency, unless, perchance, he
wore the spur on the toe.
Randolph's remarks were
apropos to theoccaSion, but the
story, as used by Mr.. NJ, loses
its point unless he can prove
that the lady's slaves had lib
erty clothes, food, &C., offered
and urged upon them, which
they, through spirit Of negli>
gence, or worse, Eersistently
refused in which case, John
Randolph's remarks would not
have been appropos, for, al,
though the fields are white and
the laborers few, we do have
one minister Of the gospel 10

sons, who do not fail TO preach
liberty from sin, and lnat robe
of righteousness for all, with
out money and without price"
1t is true hundreds, knowingly,
refuse, and clothe themselves
with the filthy rags Of sin, and
feed upon husks when "there
is bread enough and TO spare" "
And of some such 1t may al
ready have been said, Let them
alonS they are joined TO their
idols!" But these refusers OF
life are not alone those who are
filthy or ignorant, but some
men whose mouths are pure
from the j'uce OK tobacco, have
impure hearts; men whose
stomachs are unscathed by
whisky, yet have consciences
"seaced as with a hot, iron. !"
Spotless linen sometimes car

population of less than 1000,
between 4 and 5 hundred are
laboring for the upbuilding OF
Christ's kingdom;yet boys chew,
and smoke and get drunk
here as we'll as in jackson or
any other place. Mr.. Mackley
asks. "Do the little boys in
China do as bad as thisw Yes.
Boys, here, may be fond of a
monkey and hand organ, but
they do not look upon and
pray to the monkey as their
God; they do not worship paint
ed wood or stone, or birds, or
beasts, or creeping things, nor
cash their bodies to appease
Deity. There are none IN this
land destitute of a knowledge
of Christ and his atonement;
but heathen boys have not so
much as heard of the "true
and living God," and when they
do thousands and millions will
embrace him, though there, as
we'll as here, none will be com.

HE large cotton crop of last year, with
tne low price which that staple now COM
mands in the market, is calculated, andis
teaching the Southern people an importsnt
lesson. It is teaching them, in our opin-,
ION, most valuable lesson. Heretofore
they have, in the richest sections, given
their attention almost exclusively to rais-
ing cotton. With the system of labor to
which they haye been accustomed, to-
gether with their large farms, it has been
very hard for them to get out of the chan
mel in which they have been running so
long. The argument which eyer-stocked
markets and ruiIlously low prices presents.
VIII not pass UNDECIDED, and they are now
thinking of raising more grain and stock,
and less cotton. A short trip into the
south, and conversations with planters,
leads us to this belief. We are assured
that in some localities, the area of cotton
planted, will be fully one-third less this
year than last. The disposition to dispose
OF their lands, cutting them up into small
Ter farms, is becoming more prevalent.
They find that labor is hard to control in
such manner as to render it profitable
with their immense tracts of land, and
they are eager for change. Nothing will
add more to the general prosperity of the
South than the adoption of different sys-
tenn of farming. The prospect for such a
eonsummation is improving. a@ssis

THERE are some few foolish men in
town, making themselves very ridiculous
by wearing Kuklux badges, posting Ku-
klux signs about the streets, and sending
Kuklux.communications through the post
office. Do these persons realize that they
are doing what seems to them, no doubt,
very smart, but what in fact may prove
very serious They are laying the .foun-
dation for what some easily alarmed per-
son might make very sorry work for us.
Suppose some man receiveng communi-
cation of that kind should take it in
earnest and publish 1t abroad as proof of
Kuklux being here? Such stories once
put forth are not easily contradicted. We
know the thing is intended as a joke and
to be smart, but just now We cannot afford
to trifle with such things. There is no use
in giving protext for stories that might
prove very serious for every business man
in the city. If men want to play the fool
