The following is one of series of
resolutions recently passed by a
farmers club in Illinois: THAT, in
view Of the fact that the cost of
sewing machines is from five to
seven dollars. or, with table and all
complete, from ten to thirty dollars,
while they are sold at from sixty to
one hundred and twenty-five dollars.
we are often reminded of the fact
that we pay enormous profits to
manufacturers and middle-men.-
Now, therefore, resolved. That we
will use old mowers, reapers and
plows; wear our old hats, coats.
pants and bennets. and paddle cur
own canoe generally, until we can
purchase at prices somewhat corres-
ponding, to the prices we get for our
produce and labor"

Replying to an official inquiry,
county clerk in Virginia has sent
word to the State capitol that his

been afflicted by resident notary

Why do people read advertise
ments? To see who is enterrrisng
and to learn what is going on. To
see if there is anything new, or any
thing that they want. To see if the
seasons styles have come in, and
to find out who has them. To know
if any one is selling off at reduced
rates, or to watch the chance Of an
auction. For amusement. To sat
isfy curiosity. Because they have
read all the stories. marriages,
births, deaths, locals and accidents.
Because they want to. Because they
can't help it.

The wheat Fields Of McNinn.

Reports from different portions
of the county, says the Athens Post,
represent wheat as looking we'll, ex-
cept here and there where it was
frozen out" Col. A. II. Keith has
a field of fifty acres, in the immedi-
ate vicinity of Athens, as fine and
promising as we have ever seen at
this early season.
We are impressed with a notion
that a good many OF our farmers do
not put quite seed enough. in the
ground. In this climate, where the
winters are generally open with
no SHOWS to protect the young plants
and heavy rains are frequently fell
lowed by severe freezes, a peck
more to the acre than is usually
sown would pay better. We have
very little practical knowledge Of
farming. but common sense and OBJ
servation both teach that scant SOW
ing, followed by an unfavorable win
ter, will be apt to make a thin har-
vest. Light seeding of small grain,
as a general rule, is mighty poor
economy.

A WOful PIcture---Twenty Millions to

The New Orleans Picay,sue. in an
article upon the question of paying
taxes to the Kellogg usurpation, has
the following
Are the taxpayers of this city
who are in any doubt whether they
will combine with their fellow-cfti-
zens to resist the attempts. by the
most outrageous and shameful modes
ever proposed in a country profess
ing to be free and republican, upon

meut, aware of the amount of taxes
which it is proposed to collect this
year? Many of these fatter them

get off with tax of FIVE per cent.
State - q city. This is a greivous
error. Besides the regular State and
city tax for the past year, the act of
the bayonet Legislature to enforce
the collection of taxes, which our
readers will find in our columns to-
day, gives the State officers the same
power and authority to collect all

years preceding the last as are con-
ferred in regard to the taxes of last
year. The taxes will amount for the
State, we learn, to S., 100000, which,
added to the S5,0O0,O00 collectable
for 1872, will swell the grand total
to say $12.000,Q00, which can he col
lected by the. same processes provi-
ded in the infamous enforcement act
passed by the Kellogg Legislature
Add to this the city taxes uncolIect-

say of $20O00.000. or over twenty
per cent. of the assessed value of the
property Of this city, which is to be
collected according to Kellogg's pro-
clamatiOn by civil or criminal process
out of the people. 1t would be well
for those timid or over prudent peo-
pie who nov propose to pay their
taxes for last year, to bear in mind
the effect of their submission to such
demands-which is simply an ac-
quiescence in the spoliation and con-
fiscation of the property of this peo-
pie for the emolument of jobbers,

among whom is the present fraudu-
