Business Necessities.

In these days of progress, most enterprising
firms use every means Of putting their names be-
fore their customers. In no way can this be more
conveniently and attractively done than by using
printed Letter Headings and Bill Heads. They
have come into such general use by Merchants
that one seems old fashioned who does not use
them, and the custom should egenerally adopted
by the Country Merchants.
WALKER, EVANS d CoGswELL, Charleston, s.
c., furnish Letter and Bill Heads Of all grades,
and at the most reasonable prices. Send to them
for samples and prices.
BY the way Messrs. WALKER, EVANS & Coas-
WELL are getting up and selling like hot cakes,
some excellent books for our Merchants. One,
the Merchants Cotton Book, for keeping correct
accounts of purchases and shipments of Cotton !;
the other, the Merchants Bill Book, for readily
knowing how the payments on their customers
notes and accounts stand. Both books are ex
ceedingly complete, and answer the purposes ex-
actly.

SMALL INDUSTRIES.

Forty-hve years ago, certain small 1arm-
er, in one of the upper counties of South Car
olina, settled on a plantation about three
miles from the spot on which he was born and
raised. He still lives in the house he built
when first married. He has never bought a
pound of meat of any kind, nor a bushel OF
corn. Everything that has been consumed,
except coffee, sugar and molasses, was made
on the farm. He raised large family-near
dozen of children-all of whom he gave a
fair education. On the farm there were no la
borers but the white family. They owned no
negroes and never hired any one to work on
the farm or in the house. Until the sons grew
up, the husband did all the outdoor work !;
and whilst the daughters were in their child
hood, the wife did all the cooking and wash
ing. Every member of the family was heal.
thy and strong The father and mother are
both still living, and although they are ap-
preaching eighty, they are still vigorous and
strong. When they were married, some fifty
years ago, neither of them had much property.
Five hundred dollars would have covered all
that both owned.
Of their FIVE sons, four received classical
education and the other was offered it, but
preferred to farm. The daughters were as
we'll educated as those Of their richer neigh
bors. To-day, all of the children, most of
whom are married, are doing we'll. There is
not a drunkard or gentleman of leisure
amongst the sons, and the daughters all mar
ried sober, decent and industrious men.
Now, the inquiry arises, how did a poor
man accomplish so much? We reply, ne
made money and he saved money by engaging
in what may be called small industries. Ev-
cry year he made corn, wheat, oats and prov
ender sufficient to meet the demands OF his
own plantation and some to sell. He sold
pork, and he sold bacon and lard. He kept a
mare, and some times two, and raised his own
horses, and sold, on an average, a horse every
two years at prices ranging from fifty to one
hundred and fifty dollars. His wife made
butter enough to supply the family, and some
to sell each week. She raised chickens, ducks
and turkeys, and sold eggs and poultry. She
spun and she wove, and made cloth enough to
clothe her family. The family lived we'll
Everything was in abundance, and everything
was good. Each year small quantity OF
cotton was made and kept until the price
would justify its being sold. 1t was not
obliged to be sold whether the price was high
or low. If the price Of cotton was down, the
bales were stored away in an out house until
the price rose and then sold to advantage
and when sold, the money was all taken home
or lent out to some cotton planter to buy corn
and bacon
The enterprises in which this farmer en-
gagged were small industries, but they proved
very remunerative. The life of such family
may not present pleasant picture to every
one; but to an honest man there is something
very captivating in it. Were all families in
our country such as the one described, We
would have more prosperous and a more
moral country.
