in their studies, among the pupils than Mrs.

relics Of early history OF the village were found
slowed away between the ceilings:
The first one is said to be a bill Of the first

quite curiosity in Its way. The second is the
article Of association and subscription to the
capital stock OF the. Bank Of Van Buren, County.
The notes for the circulation Of this Bank were
printed from plates engraved for the purpose

Crop. To the Officers and Member. Of
RichlsDd Pomona Grange
Your Committee, TO whom was re-
ferred the subjec, Of diversifyiDg the
crops, beg leave to submit, ;bs follow.
ing:
After having carefully investigated
this very important subject, We are
thoroughly convinced tba. our future
independence and prosperity as tillers
of the soil, greatly depends upon the
proportion and diversifying the crop.
Experience and observation prove
coDclusively that under the present
system Of planting and cultivsting.
each year brings the farmer more and
more dependent upon the capitalist
and specula,or than the year previous.
Cotton is claimed by many to be
King" this wo admit. and still go
further with the ASSUMPTION, We claim
that cotton is both King and Tyrant,
and the producer the slave. This
view, We take from the fact, that
under the present system Of agricul-
ture in the Cotton States, cotton has
been the great staple upon which
both capital and labor has cen,ered,
until the supply Of the raw material
greatly exceeds the demand. and
places this great staple without any
real intrinsic value. Take the present
price Of cotton as standard, the cos,
of producing and preparing for market
is more than the actual nett proceeds
