SoMrrHIse Wnose AND srssELEss.

SOMETHING WRosG ANDSENsELEss.
There are people in every communi-
ty, good, honest, worthy farmers, who
entertain . constitutional prejndics
against towns and town people. They
somehow bring themselsss 10 the be-
lief that there is rivalry or conflict
intsrssts between the towns and them
selyes-that the town man is lucky,
scheming plottsr against their interest,
aud whose whole life is devoted to the
study of how to absorb the farmers
hard earnings. This is nonsense, and
ruinous to the best interests both of the
town aud the country. The two COM
munitiee are necessarily somewhat dit
ferent in manners and customs, the re-
suit solely of different pursuits, but
their material interests are mutually re-
ciprocal in every point of view. The
farmer grows to wealth aud ease, and
to various advantages in life, precisely
in proportion as the town or towns IL
bis vicinity prosper and increase in
population. Who ever heard of poor
farmers or country people in the vicin-
ity of rich town or city. Towns are
consumers of the farmers products, and
Of course the larger their population
the larger the consumption, and there
fore the better ths home market. 1t
Hickman had population large enough
to consume all the produce raised by
our farmers for 6fty miles round, the
producer wosld rsaIiso better prices fer
his corn, cotton, ETC., IN that he would
save in transportation, commissions,
etc. The. relative interests between
the town and country applies in every
thing from peanuts to cotton bales. In
truth and in fact, the farmer is as much
interested, in general sense, in the
success or failure of towns, as the ac-
tual town resident. For instance, the
erection of a cotton factory at Hick-
mau, employing Eve hundred opera
tives, would add just that many more
buyers for the farm products. Lei Tie
farmer study every aspect Of the, ease
and every intelligent one will concede
these facts. They can ns more pros
per without towhs-markets--than the
towns can prosper without good farm
ers. i the town of Hickman should
be suddenly RACED to the ground. with
40 possibility of the resunPtiOa Of bu-
siness, the depreciation of lands in the
radius of her trade would be seriously
felt. II is true Of any town handling
like quantity of produce. Instead of
farmers cultivatiug prejudice against
towns, their cry should be more towns
and larger ones
