What He Thinks.

LOST MOUNTAIN, Ga, March z, 1875.
EDS JouRNAL--I see in your paper great
many folks writin' about farmin and farmer 5
business and tryin to git everybody to 60 to
farmin'. Now, mister editurs, jist let me tell
you that's all tom-foolery. To all who can git
job on the Railroad or olerkship or hire
ship or any other kind of ship, this here de-
ponent sath sail in it, never quit it, don't come
to the country or buy juanner and pervision on
time and work like the D-avie Jones and
then cant pay what you owe, case it took 1t all
to pay for the Juanner No, sir, mister edltur,
am one of that class of farmers whose intrust
amounts annually to about three times as much
as they are worth, SO you will discover l
know. whereof speak Charity begins at
home (it it ever begun snywhere) and all this
talk about working for the good of ones coun-
try comes from that class of men who want to
reep The bennyft of other mems work fur moth
ing, so they can stand about and smoke segars
aud drink Ticker and talk polyticks.
Now, mister editurs, am fur Gorge" and |
say unto All Hlhilkluu 20 tiIou anu w liheNiSV'
| am an old bachelor what amt got no family
but | 10 what il is to go creepin about from
piller to post begin people to give yer credit
on SIGH and SIGH things till yer can git yer crap
out. Now if there's anybody in town that's
got good job what wants to give it up aud go
to he country send him to me and can show
him where and how he or they can make as
successful a failure as ever fell to the lot OF
man. We suppose from what David said about
the righteous never bein' forsaken nor his seed
not begin bread, that no righteous man ever
raised children on farm,.in this section OF
country. No more sendin 10 Germany and
France and Rooshy fur Envy Grants to come

Wheat Prospects in New
York.

The compilation Of wheat crop
prospects in this State recently
collected and published in the
Philadelphia Press, seems to in
dictate as much damage in New
York as in the Western States.--
We had not seen reports from the
interior to indicate such general
damage to the crop of winter
wheat by winter killing as their
dispatches indicated. Yet, in the
absence of any systematic effort to
collect the facts until given by
the Press to the public, they must
pass as a fair representation of
the condition of the crop until
they are controverted by some
more thorough Investigation
From these it appears that not
much. if any more than ne-half a
crop of winter wheat can be look
ed for, and certainly not over two,
thirds.-NeaU York Bulletin.

minus Of the bridge. This is
considered the only defect in the
bridge, as the approach of a
wagon cannot be seen from eth
erend, land theroadway is scarce
ly wide enough for wagons to
pass. Its cost was about $4O,-
600.
Railroads. There is but one
railroad in the county; and that
runs from Dechcrd, in Franklin
county, where it branches off
from the Nashville and Chatta-
neoga Railroad. passing by VIM
chester, the county site of
Franklin, in a southerly direc-
ton, until it reaches a point
near the Alabama line, whele it
turns in a north-wester!!y direc-
ton to Fayetteville. This road
is a great convenience to the
people Of Lincoln county. Be
fore its construction the farm
ers were compelled to ship their
cotton and other produce down
the Elk River in fatboats to the
Tennessee River, or carry it in
wagons tothe Chattanooga road.
Schools. In regard to the
sentiment Of the country as to
public schools, it is believed to
be more favorable now than it
was few years back.
Statistics. Lincoln county
contained in 1870, a population
of 2S,050 persons. In 1860 the
population was 22,828. Number
OF dwellings, in 1870 $3.50; num-
Der of families, 5,069; white
population, 22,097; free colored,
1858. In 1860 the white pop
ulation was 1926; colored, s.
902. This shows that during
the decade emitting juno /, 1870,
the white population increased
GIL, while the colored de-
creased 949. The number re-
ported in 1870, that could not
read, was 6,526, that could not
write, 9,064, or nearly one-third
of whole population. The as
scssed valueof lands in 1873, was
S4,O87,394; 317,O79 acres were
reported, which is about $12.G
per acre. The total amount of
taxable property is valued al
