afford to do without it in justice to
themselves. One farmer there, Mai.
Cheairs, raises SIX thousand bushels Of
wheat, and he is only one Of a number
producing annually large crops. He is
under the necessity Of sending his
wheat to the city to have it made into
-four at a cost Of 10 cts, losses included,
thus paying out 5000 annually,
which 5000 consumers have to pay
without profit to him or to the mill
hat manufactures it. Then the con-
sumers pay on it again in cost on the
-four to bring it back to the consumers.
Of this number the Major himself is
one. Beside this loss To the producer
and expense to the consumer, the prof
its accruing to the mill that accumu-
late IN the city, is just that much that
the farmers may bring to their imme-
date neighbOrhoods, If they viii con-
centrate what capital they have and
establish their own mills; and that is
no small amount. 1t was stated there
that day on good authority that one
mill, owned in part by a citizen Of that
vicinity, with a capital invested in the
mill property of only $1,000, is de-
clarlng a profit of $1,000 monthly; and
N proof Of his confidence IN such
profits, he takes stock largely in the
proposed Grange mill.
That people can command means
and they can live without dividends,
and If they can start a mill there that
can make as much as the one alluded
to above and run it two years and a
half, and not use the dividends, there
Will have accumulated thirty thousand
dollars, which is a sum sufficient, agree
ably to the opinion of n of the most
successful fnanciers and most success
full cotton factory men / know of, to
start.
A COTTON FACTORY,
to make their own cotton into cloth.
There is but thing that will keep
them from succeeding and enable them
them to flourish as the green bay tree.
That n thing needed is for the rail-
roads to act In concert with them and
mot discriminate against their county
In favor of the cities. IF the railroads
Will obGgate to give them transporta-
ton from other wheat growing sections
and to the markets of the world on as
favorable terms, distance considered, as
is now given between cities, their pros
perTty and success viii no longer be a
matter of doubt. Without this even
handed justice, the railroad managers
must harden their hearts or they will
be rent, when the cries and shrieks of
the oppressed andhungering thousands
of the producing classes come IN pierre
ing tones, as come they VIII, into their
richly decorated mansions.
If you want to feel like you wanted
to live forever and live on a farm
where you can be fed and clothed, 90
and spend a few hours with the broth
ers and sisters on their farms around
about Spring Hill. You would not
change a thing you see. You viii be-
lieve the fairies dwell there, and you
will know the fair mes are there in
their purity, and none but the young
could desire any change. They
could but desire the change of names. |
Ye lovers of sheep, 90 see Capt. 7.
GlbsOn's thorough SoUthdowns and
Cotswolds, and you viii be convinced
that blood will tell. You can get some
from him and you can get grades. And, !
when there, take a look athis thorough
short horns. He is even furnishing the
renowned Kentucky with beifers, and
Ohio with colts. You need not be as
tonished if America soon supplies Eng
land with stock. 1t pays.
Patrons, the prosperity of the coun-
try IS a work depending upon you. Its
prosperity is the work engaging the en-
tire time and thought of
