Farner-' Club.

The following sensible remarks of the
Athens Post are applicable 10 every county
in the South:
The farmers of Limestone and other
counties should organize Farmers Clubs,
get together and discuss the best means TO
further their important interests. The
great necessity of this and its benefits
should be apprent to all. The club is TO
he farmer, old or young, a scho oil. He is
learning all the time how to express his
views clearly. The views of his neighbors
are drawn out on new subjects. and these
thoughts find expression. Lawyers gain
strength by long years OF study and then
practice at the bar. The young lawyer
making his first speech Is as miserable and
awkward as the young farmer making his
first public effort The lawyers business
com pels him to swallow embarrassment and
annoyance and goads him on TO effort upon
effort. The young farmer, not feeling the
necessity for this. makes no further venture.
The lawyer goes on and becomes famous as
a good talker and a fine reasoner. The same
practice would have made the young farmer
as good a talSer, and stronger. more efii
cient worker in his field of duty The eX-
periences of well educated farmers bring
this skill and strength. We advise the or
ganization of township clubs on the sim
plest plan. Arrange the meetings to suit
the convenience of all parties. and let the
attendance be as regular as church going.

There has always been some speculation

Profits of Cotton Misunderstanding.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
The value of the raw cotton consumed in
England during the calendar year 1871 was
$197. 559.l20. The amount was 3,495,000
bales. When this cotton was manufactured,
its value had increased to $493.476, $50.
In the hands of the manufacturer, there
fore, a value of $295. 9l7, 100 or about lao per
cent, was added.
\ cotton crop such as the South produced
last year-say 400 600 bales-was worth in
England $235, 100000. After it had passed
through the hands OF manufacturers, $751;
200 coo was added to its value, and the goods
were sold for 1892. 200 900.
The 100000 bales which the North con-
sumed, owing TO the tariff. was increased i'm
value fully $lS0.00O,000, or perhaps more.
The whole cotton crop of the South last
year. when made into goods. was sold for
something like $700.00O,000. If, then, man
ufactories were established in the cotton
growing States To manufacture the entire
crop, our exports would be larger than the
total exports from the United States at
present.

When broken down in health, strength
and spirits it is not necessary that we should
ask medical man whether an invlgorant
is necessary. Comm on sense tells us that it
is. The only question to be decided is, what
the inYigorant shall be. \ standard tonic
and restorative, which has been many years
before the public, and in which millions of
the intelligent classes repose the fullest
faith, seems, in a case like this, to present
the strongest claims to the confidence of
the prudent invalid. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters may be truly said to possess these
high recommendations. Its triumphant pro-
gress during a period of twenty years, its
present popularity, and the uniform sue
cess which attends its use in indigestion,
nervous debility, hillary complaints, fever
and ague, and all ailments which depress
the physical system and enervate the mind,
entitle it To the rank of standard national
specific. Ii is regarded in that light by the
community at large, and hundreds of thous-
ands of both sexes resort to it at this sea-
son as preventive of that numerous and
harassing class of diseases which take their
rise from the miasmatic winds and vapors
of spring. 1t is a stimulant, a tonic, an al
terative mild aperient-four essential re-
storative and protective elements of the
materia medica-united in a single agreea-
bic preparation. Every ingredient is vege-
table, of the purest quality, and absolutely
pure. Hostetter's Bitters is better known,
held in greater esteem, and commands
larger sale than any other proprietary med
iciue manufactured in this country or i'm
ported from abroad.
