The New Era in the South.

The Chicago Tribune takes d
cognizancc OF the improved con-
ditlon OF affairs in the south, ai'is-
ing from II diversity Of crops and
improved methods Of agriculture.
Among other things 1t says:
new and promising era has dawn
ed upon the states where once king
cotton held undisputed sway.
Southern planters have expert
mented in the way OF diversity of
products, and the experiment has
proved Il wonderful success. 1t it
had been predicted ten years ago
that any OF the cotton raising states
would in the year Of 1875 have a
surplus of cereals, the exist ing facts
and prospects of the time would
hardly have borne out the proph
ccy. Yet such is the fact. The
States of Tennessee, Arkansas, Mis-
sissippi, and Alabama Will this year
have enough and to spare, and the
southern farmers are proud and
happy. In addition to this unpre.
cedented grain yield, the old sta
pie, though reduced in acreage, has
by a most thorough system OF cul-
uvation rewarded the planters as
never before, and they boast Of an
independence that has heretofore
been unknown to that portion Of
the country.

Many a family, collectively and
individually, work for this false
end. They give entertainments
that nearly ruin them to people
they care nothing for, with whom
they have no sympathy, and who
have no earthly sympathy with

If you wish to be happy, you
must open the doors Of your home
to those whom you esteem and
love. You must take for your
friends those who suit you. You

And it IS far better to have be-
