CUBA.-Alexander Stephens knows a
thing or two. He wants Cuba annexed,
and says:
Let Cuba be independent and decide
her own destiny. She will inevitably
fall into the Union. Even if we derive
only half the income from Cuba now
paid to Spain, we should get "a revenue
of over sl0,0O0,000 year. That would
be but a small part Of the advantages
to us of her independence or annexa,
tion. We want what she produces -
She wants what we produce. There
would be no serious trouble about the
question of race. Cuba can sustain a
population Of over 100000. She now
has but about 100000. A large part
of the Spaniards would leave the island.
The negroes would easily be controlled
by the superior race.
The Cuban question is the greatest
question before the country. If the
President, does not take the lead in set
tling it rightly, Congress must do it
but we must not be policemen for Spain
any longer. That time has gone by.

CARD OF THANKS.

DUE WEST, Jan. 5, 1874.
Editor Abberite Press and Banner:
Christmas has come and gone. Nc
doubt some were sorrowing while
others were rejoicing. But notwith-
standing the financial panic and hard
times generally, the little folks and
some larger ones too at the Parsonage.
had a real good time over the recep-
tion of a large box Of presents from
the good people of the Ninety Six
Presbyterian church. Allow me to
thank all concerned, and especially
the ladies, (who are always thinking
about good things for their preachcr,)
tor their interest in our behalf.
You may know the ladies were at
the head Of getting up a box which
contained coffee, sugar, tea, flour,
ham, oranges, apples, candy, cake.
and toys for the little ones; beside
dresses, pants, scarf, hantkcrchiets.
dozen silver forks, guest cup, &C., DC.
1t is an old proverb that "p"cacherS
arepoor" and as general thing they
are, but they know how to apprecia:e
and enjoy good nice present as well
as most men. Connected with all
this was fine fat turkey, sent in
from a lady member Of the Green:
vile church, and all together we had
a delightful Christmas at the Parson'
age, aud due in great measure to the
Kindness of these good people. This
however, is not the first time, the
same thing was done year age, and
now repeated. So you see EdiIors
do. not get all the nice things, the
preaehers come in for their share too
BY the way, Editors and Preachers
ought to think very highly of the
ladies and guess they do, but the
bachelors among them have o very
singular way of showing it.
Such tokens on the part of a peo
ple towards their minister shoult
endear them to him and in turn make
him more devoted to their spiritua
welfare; and now as they have done
50, much for me may the Lord dt
much more for them. w. f. z.

THE SOLE AGENTS

ENOR the sale of the above WELL
known and highly valuable Fer
tiliZers lave now on hands full supply
and will be glad to furnish such of their
customers rs intend using them next
year. Every one remembers how diff
cult it was to get Guanos last Spring.
Many farmers lost several days Of val
liable time in coming to town with their
teams. and not few, after several inef.
fectual trips, failed at last in securing
Fertilizers. To obviate any further
trouble of this kind, and to enable plan
ters to take their Fertilizers home when
they are marketing their Cotton, an
early supply has been ordered. No one
can fail to see the advantage to be deriv-,
when every moment is valuable to the
farmer. The standard of the Enwan
Guanos remains the same it has always
been. No Fertilizers manufactured In
this country have higher standing, or
are more generally used. If the acreage
in Cotton is to he reduced another year,
land all will admit that there is too
much Cotton planted) the greater will
be the need for Fertilizers. Plant less,
but enrich your lands more, is the true
policy. - 9gt7E y
The Etiwan Dissolved Bone
Manufactured for composing with cot
ton seed and stable manure is commend.
ed with great confidence to the farmer.
1t has given universal satisfaction, and
all who have used it want it again. X,
Send in your orders early. The terms
are the same they would be if the pur-
chase should be delayed until, Spring.
Money is made by saving valuable time.
