PUBLIC SALEs.-The season for pub
lie sales in this vicinity is nearly over
There have been more than usual this
season owing to the fact Of so many land
owners, who have been renting their
farms, having determined to go on them
themselves, or the land having been
sold to more practical farmers than some
Of its former owners. For this reason
many Of the sales that have been made
have been BY persons who would gladly
have continued farming but were una
bic to obtain farms and we're therefore
obliged to sell off their stock.
This anxiety for farms and unwil-
lingness to quit among renters indicates
healthier state Of feeling in regard to
farming that was evinced a year or two
ago, when SO many persons quit, de-
claring that they "eould net make a
living at farming" It begins to look
as if there were some people who think
it will pay better to farm than to do
nothing. 1t also furnishes sharp re-
buke to young men who, though they
own their farms, prefer to lounge around,
idling their time away. on the frivolous
pretext that farming don't pay" and
that they can make as much doing moth
ing as they can farming. Perhaps they
can, but it is contrary to common sense
to suppose that man can accomplish
anything without effort, and those who

In the Senate Of the Forty-third Con

Senate Of the Forty-fOurth Congress

These figures present the evidence Of

the republican majority is now cut down
to four, the division of parties being
thirty-eight republicans to thirty-tbree
democrats, and one independent demo-

caused by the resignation of Sherman
is filled the republican strength will be
in creased to SO. There are still three
vacancies-two from Louisiana and one
from South Carolina. IF these should
be filed with democrats the republican
majority will be cut down to two; if
with republicans, their majority will be
eight. At any rate. it is almost GER
