Be Social.

Men who isolate themselves from
society, and have no near and dear
family ties, are tho most uncomforta-
bic of human beings. byron says ;
"Happiness was born twin :" but
the phrase though pretty and poetic,
does not 60 far enough. We are gre
garious, and not intended to march
through lilo either single or double
file. The mah who cares for nobody,
and for whom nobody carcs, has moth,
ing to live for that will pay for the
keeping Of soul and body together.
You must have heap of embers to
have "a glowing fire. Scatter them
apart become apart and they will be-.
come dim and cold. So, to have brisk,
vigorous life, yoh must haze group
of lives, to keep each other warm, as
it we're, to afford each mutual en-
'couragem cut' and support. If you
wish to live the life of n man and not
of a gungus, be social, be brotherly,
be charitable, be sympathetic, and
labor earnestly for tho good of your
Kind.

Nine Reasohs Why Horace Greeley is FIJI
for the rfeSideneY.

!. Because he is believed to be
thoroughly honest BY friends and foe
of all oreods and parties.
3. Because be has eminent ability
as thinker and writer, and a.larg
er stock Of politiorl knowledge than
any other man in AmerioL.
D. Because, while he is the peer of
the ableet men in the lard, he spends
his time and thou. .hs for tho improve.
ment and uplifting Of tho poor and
unfortunate, by teaching industry
economy, self.help, ind temperance.
4. Because, in these degenerate
days, when posts oflhonor5 become
the stepping-stones to dishonesty and
sefalcation, he boldly strikes at such
dishonesty in his own party, and ex-
poses public .villainly among his
political friends rs readily and earn
estly rs among his political foes.
B. because, no man, however Bit
ter bis oppositiop, however intense
his prejudice Or doep his hatred, dare
utter the thought, thet Horace Greeley
can be bought. or knowingly be. drawn
into any unpatriotie Or dishonest job,
plot, or ring.
6. Because, though, he hated slave.
ry and openly and persistently opposed
it, he mover hated the STAKEHOLDER !;
and rs soon as the war was ended
and the cause Of it ~ns rem owed, he
was the first to reach forth his frater-
nal hand to his old foes and recognize
thcm as countrymen and brethren.
7. Because the dishoarteued
Southern whites, and the hesitating
and timid Southern blacks can trust
ipgly unto in the support of Horace
Greeley, and for the first time in their
history, have one common aim, and
this will tend to unite their political
action for all coming time ....
8. because the bitter party spirit
existing between tho Republican
oihceholders and tho Democratic par
ty is such, that patriotism is likely to
be sacrificed on both sides in n strai ight
struggle between them for office and
power but Horace Greeley is the
man who, for onoe, can unite tho
North and South, and enjoy the con.
fidence of both parties.
Because the Republican party be-
Ing made up originally Of Democrats
and Wings Of honeht and patriotic
purposes, seeking primarily only the
good OF the nation, so now all Demo.
Gratis who love their country, and all
Republicans who not become corrupt
by political selfishness and ambition,
can cordially unite In support of
Horace Greeley with perfect conf
dence in his integrity, intelligence,
aud patriotism

Manufacturing Power.

With the abundance of manufacture.
Ing facilities offered In tho South.
and more especially in this State,
anything said abroad concerning tho
same, must necessarily be of interest
to those who give tue subject their
attention at home.
John W. Fornoy in the Philadel.
phia Press of the goth instant, writes
as follows "Hitherto, it is said that
less than one fifteenth of the cotton
crop has been worked up in South
ern factories. Yet water power and
coal abound In the cotton district,
and If the proper effort were made,
skilled labor and capital could be OBJ
tanned there as easily as elsewhere,
and by thus bringing the factory aud
the plantation together large item
in the cost Of transportation is saved.
The time is coming when ons.third,
if not one.half of the cotton of tho
South will be made into yarns, at
least, in that section, and, when 1t
does comes what has been the poorest
portion OF the country will become
the richest. Stimulated by the great
ly increased home market for food,
grain farming and grazing will then
bc no less profitable than cotton grow
ing. Thus there will be u practical
diversity of industries with its
resulting prosperity, and there
wilt be no longer an excuse for ex.
hausting and abandoning to d worse
than their primitive wildness whole
tracts Of land.
Let but the Southern people gene.
rally be stirred by this industrial
awakening, esohewihg the rancors of
politics, except to see that neither
demagogues nor oarpst-bag adventu.
rers misrepresent them, ard glorious
future awaits thcm-an area of wealth,
business activity, peace and good
feeling, which shall oonsign to a per.
petual oblivion the distraction,
desolation and bitter hatred which
resulted from the war;

An UIgfatcful Railroad.

Jones had heard about a widow
who had saved train of oars from
destruction BY warning tho engineer,
as tho train approached, that oer-
tain bridge had boen washod away
and who was literally rewarded, re-
ceiving a pass for life on nearly oil the
railroads in this country, and Q pres
eDt of ten thousand dollars from the
company whose train she saved 50
Jones thought it pretty profitable bu-
siness, and concluded ho'd try it.
lie lived near railroad bridge,
and he an4iously watohod and waited
for it to wash away, feeling sure that
it must 60 sometime. Every rainy
night no got up and paced tho floor by
spellsi then took his umbrella and
went OUT to see if the bridge was be-
ginning to g. but it was not gone.
AT last no concluded that if on &C.
oident.would not happen of its own ac~
cord, he would make one to order, so
he got upon high bank Mt tho side
OF the track one afternoon, and rolled
a big stone down upon the rails.
1t was just few minutes before the
lightning express was due, and throw.
ing off his coat and hat, 80 as to ap
pear rs excited as possible he went
forth to meet it. He saw it coming
In the di>tancc, 80 he tied red cot.
ton handkerchief to hoe handle and
waved it above his head in wild, ex,
Cited manner, as signal Of danger.
But he presented such singular ap-
pearance that tue engineer thought
him'a crazy man, escaped from q
neighboring lunatio asylum, and so
paid no heed to him, and the train
thundered on.
There was sudden whistle Of
"down Breaks" rapid reversing of
the engine, then terrible crash.
The train was wrecked the engineer
and fireman were instantly killed (;
the conductor and nil tho brakem men
dangerously, if rot fatally wounded
and abont ten per cent. of tho passcn.
gers horribly mangled.
Jones didn't get n pass for life on
the principal railroads of the country
and a purse of $4,000, but he got
ten years in the Penitentiary for
manslaughter, having beon seen by
neighbor when in the act of rolling
the rock on the track which caused the
calamity.
And now he is learning to manu-.
fnoture shoes by. tho original process,
and is of the opinion that railroads
arc curse to the country.

Tile Crops in Southwestern Gcorsla,

The Albany News, of the 24th ult.,
says:
We are pleased to learn that the
draught in this locality has done no
serious injury to the corn crop. 1t
is too enrly yet for corn to be hurt
much by dry weather.
Cotton that is up Is doing very we'll,
but vast deal was planted just as the
dronth set in, and the moisture that
sprouted the seed dried away. before
the tender shoot could escape. and
thcrc is now no hope of Its coming at
all. In consequence of this, the
acreage to be cultivated is cut short
materially.
Gardens ME ruined, and vegetables
are as scarce rs Radical honesty.
Within the last week pretty good
rains have fallen all around us, but
this point continues dry and dusty.
The Dawson Journal says: Gin oon-
versiog with few intelligent farmers
we find that the corn and cotton crops
arc not so unpromising 40 wo were
wont to believe. they contend that
where the ground was properly pre-.
pared and planted before the drouth
set in, crops have not suffered, and
crops that arc suffering are those
planted in lands that were not
thoroughly prepared. and the seed
did not come up until after the dronth
set in"
