"Speed the PIOtc,"
How to Make Money by Farming.

Every cultivator wants to know primar.
lily how to make money. He follows his
calling as merchant pursues his business,
1t is not merely that he farms to live and
be comfortable. He wants to do all that
but he would like to make "a pile.r as
people in other walks of life try to do.
Every now and then the newspapers
try to tell him how to get rich and it is
generally by planting this or that. by try
ing upland 'rice," or some such article
now sure to be in demand. Or perhaps he
Will be told to go here, or settle there.
where the land is cheap and no manure
needed, or where In some way there is to
be some especial advantage which no 9th
er man but himself, or at least few other
men are to possess.
We have been struck with a passage in
one OF the obituary notices of Vanderbilt,
with which the newspapers of late have
been so profuse in. He died worth, it is
said, over fifty millions. When asked how
he brought this about he replied, by hav.
ing business you like, trying to under
stand it, and then stick to it and to no
other. People thought he was specua-
tor, but he was no such thing. Whatever
he bought or sold had an immediate rela-
ton to the exact business he had in hand.
He despised speculation and it is we'll to
let our farmers boys, who think that it is
so easy to get living by the chances of
city speculations know this He loved
his business and labored at it, but it was
not till half his life had passed away that
he was worth twenty thousand dollars. 1t
was not till comparatively old age that
he became rich. Had Vanderbilt died at
fifty, as so many do, his obituaries would
have been very short and common place
Time Was quite as favorable to his great
fortune, as any other element that entered
into it. Still, as he tells us, the founda-
ton was in sticking to his business and
this is just the lesson we are always try
ing to teach. There is not a farmer in all
this wide land but if he have a genuine
love for his business, determination to
stick to it through thick and thin, and
with good saving habits and ordinary
business prudence, but may in time be-
come rich. 1t needs no outside specula-
tions, no ventures on new patent or new
plans. He need not 90 from this part
of the world to another. He should of
course use some little discrimination at
first, choosing healthy locations, fair mar
kets, good neighbors, intelligent society,
and so on. But having once made up ones
mind where to locate, stick to it. There
is no more certain way to make money in
the wide world than at farming or garden

Miss Kittie Beals' music class held
a picnic at the Fair grounds on
Saturday. Everything that could be
done was done to make the class
enjoy the occasion, and each one
present certainly did enjoy it to the
fullest extent. Not the least pleas
ant feature of the occasion was the
presentation OF ring as aprize to the
scholar who had practiced the great
est number Of hours In the quarter.
The prize was awarded to little
daughter of sheriff Fink, who had
practiced more hours than any other
member Of the class. Mr.. Beals, in
presenting the ring on behalf OF his
daughter very truly remarked that
practice was the only way to secure
musical perfection, and that the
ring was given as prize to stimu-
late each member OF the class to the
greatest exertion. At the end OF the
next quarter prize will be given,

congratulated on her success as "a
teacher Of music, which is but the
natural result OF the most careful
and painstaking effort.

John Chandler, of this city, visited
his farm in the east end OF the county
on last Friday, and while looking
over the place discovered large
flock of buzzards congregating in a
pasture field. On walking to the
field his astonished eyes beheld a re-
markable sight. There lay, in a
state of offensive putrefaction, at
least one thousand fish from six to
ten inches I'm length, together with
myriads Of tadpoles. The size Of the
fish and the immense numbers Of
tadpoles led to the belief that they
had by some means, most probably
a water spout, been ecarried from
some pond, marsh or bayou. Such
phenomena are not at all rare in
physical history, but we have never
known OF such a one in this country
before. Dispatch.
