After dwelling upon the importance of the
crop movement TO the recovery of business the
same authority goes on to say;
Though il may take many months TO
realize this wealth, the operation by which
that realization will be carried forward ought
soon to be manifest and the probable result

.cverish condition of things that business in
first hands is almost at a stand still, and that

Coon ADVICE. There are thousands of men
in the South who, we hope, do not need this
SOUND advice from the Richmond Wing, though
there are probably those that do, SO we give it !:
tTo the hundreds of thousands of descendants
of high but broken down families that are

In these days all honest work is respectable"

people who sit nervously in contingencies,
or behind their goods, waiting for customers
to take them by storm, and making no efforts
