anxious to have the concern reOrganzed, by the
substitution Of Geo W. mllley, or some jour
nalist better able to edit the paper aud guard
the interests Of the stockholders, than the
present editor. He thinks that Ia no other way

A Wono erful Cotton.

We especially refer our readers to the
advertisement, to be found elsewhere, of
the Justly celebrated Cheatham Cham
pion Prolific Cotton This cotton was
introduced into our State last year, at
very high prices, and seemingly eztrava-
CANT claims were made of It's wonderful
prolific qualities, and some of it was
planted in most all PARTS Of the State with
most fattering results, proving beyond a
doubt that four, and even five bales OF
cotton being made on one acre f land is
not an impossibilitY. We advise all
persons to read the advertisement, and
segd and get circulars containing certif-
Gates testifyIng that it did produce at
that rate in Texas the past season. 1t
has long since been clearly demonstrate d
that cotton, like every thing else, can be
improved very materially, and that it
will pay to buv improved seed, and the
pIah for farmers to make z oney is to get
good improved seed for everything they
raise-plant less land, cultivate better
and make more to the acre. We hope
to see the Cheatham seed more extensive
ly planted next season, for we are sure
there is merit in them, and the prices are
so greatly reduced that it would pay any
one to buy them now to plant their
entire crop
