THE CAUSE OF POOR FARMERS.

The greatest agent to produce pow
erty among farmers, or any other
class, is debt. Many farmers will get
q deed of small piece Of land, enough
to support themselves and families,
and lay up small income. But that
is not sufficient. They run in debt
for more land. and become slave to
debt. They pay interest on money
borrowed, which will soon consume
the little property they possess. Such
proceeding engender a spirit Of dis
content, they lose faith in farming, and
try TO sell their farms in order to get
to town and enter into other business.
In nine cases out of ten, every farmer
who is doing well, but goes to town,
fails outright. Having no faith i'll
farming, and no breath ofunderstand-
ing, they buy the poorest tools and the
mcanest stock, and drive poor teams
before poorer wagons and agricul-
tural machinery. In the fall and win
ter they feed poorly, just enough to
get their live stock through the win
ter into spring. Then it takes all sum-
mcr to putSon that flesh that was lost
in the winter by poor shelter and bad
food. They never put out any trmt
or shade trees on their farms. They
always sell their best lambs and cat
tie to the drovers, and keep the poor
est at home. They send their children
to school but little, as too much learn
ing is dangerous thing. They do
not take agricultural papers, or be-
lieve in book farming. They never
give their children cent of spend
ing money, as it makes them eXtrava-
CANT. and they become spendthrifths.
In short, they are the most miserable
people in the world; would not keep
money if they had it. Such farmers
are poor, and will remain SO to the
end of their day.

FOR HIS GOOD NAME.
BY CAPTAIN CHARLES HOWARD.

4 pretty little town on the seashnrs
and mellow sky above the quaint
roofs and steeples.
/ don't know what to say about
it," said one Of the two young men
who were walking along the beach at
the edge of the town; really, Winter,
! do not know what to say"
cit takes you Il along while to
make up your mind,' said the first
speakers companion. s. You see
am the principal in this - affaire du
c9ur," you my adviser, and if ven
wish my assistance my plan is feast
Bile. The Neptune sails tonight
tonight, mind you, for anticipating
assistance from you, my old friend, L
Aaye sp4keR tp her captain, Get him
out Of my reach. and Ada is mine.
Come, George, tell me what you are
going to do"
There was a silence between the
couple for moment, when the one
called George spoke.
- will help you, but couldn't you
hit Oh another plan?'
Fifty have ! abandoned for the one
adopted !" was the reply. g see no
other that will render me the desired
service. Tonight the Neptune sails.
His books show deficiencies, and his
disappearance will cover him with in
fanny. OF course you see through all
of it now. Were he allowed to exam
inc the books of ar@me d o., he
would expose my work, and from his
door, my father would drive me in dis
grace. Tonight at ten O'Clock. We
will meet him near this spot at eleven
o clock"
Tie young men passed into the
town and disappeared among the
buildings. Their conversation had
not been overheard, and they rejoiced
In ths success of their plotting.
In q little cove not far from the
beach, a vessel rode at anchor. There
was not much sign Of life upon the
deck, the sails were neatly furled, and
the general appearance Of the craft
was attractive. An American flag
few at her mizzen peak, for she was
in American waters and at home.
The long summer day passed dreari-
ly over the little seashore town, and a
night studded with stars fell upon the
sea and land. About ten o'clock the
sails of the little ship were unfurled,
and men moved about on her decks
without noise, and like spectres. The
anchor was lifted at midnight, and
shortly afterward boat drew up to
the Neptune's side. A ladder was
put down from the ship, and several
dark figures ascended to the deck.
1t was then observed that one of
the trio was a prisoner, for a strong
bandanna 'kerchief was fastened over
his mouth, and his hands were loosely
secured with cords. His guards were
two roughly dressed persons, who
wore dark velvet masks, and when he
was placed in the hands Of the Nep-
tunes captain he gave them a look
which said: 81 know you. My time
will come some day"
Goodbye, Clyde Thatcher" said
q voice beneath one of the masks,
"When you return to Beaohy, do not
hasten to great the friend whom yol
are leaving behind, for after to-mor
row, they will regret that they knew
you. Goodbye, my dear fellow
Captain Dolphon, you know you
duty" .....
The speaker moved toward the lad
der as he spoke, and was followed b,
his companion. The captain converse'
with them in a low tone at the gang
way, gave each his hand, and saw tn

cowardly plot has come, to an end.
The Neptune lies beneath forty
fathoms OF tumultuous sea, and seven
days in an open boat followed my
farewell of her. For my name / have
returned to Beachy-returned to
wrench it from infamy, and to unmask
Walter Greene and his plot. Get up,
young man, and prepare to, defend
yourself, not against me but against
the law?'
Crestfallen and speeehless, Winter
Grnme rose to his feet and stared in
to his rivals face.
g What do you say? what do you
say? Go before the courts with such
a face, and, the jury without word
of evidence will cry guilty. till your
very soul rings with the echoes of the
terrible words"
Clyde Thatcher shot his prosecutor
a triumphant look and left them i'll a
maze. The events Of the past few
moments seemed Il dream to the plot
ters but only for Il moment.
The group WAS broken, for loud
voices told the young bloods that the
accountant return Was beginning to
be noised about the town, and Win
ter Greene fled to his home.
"Where are you going" his father
said, with Il steruness that made him
halt at the door of his room, which
he was leaving with undue haste.

mission Of his guilt. . They will

:. You will stay was the inter
ruption. - The guilty must suffer,
even if he be my own son. and Win
Grpme sank back into his room.
Joshua, the merchant, proved
a second Brutus. lie handed his son
right over to the law, and, with Geo.
Drake, the scheming youth, he was
dealt with before the bar of justice.
Ada Carter felt that she could not
appr0ach the accountant; but when
he came to see her with every yestige
of guilt removed from his character
when he told her that his ring had
glistened on her hand before Winter
Grpme's she lowed her head and the
happiest of weddings followed.
Her heart had never deserted him

hand.
Restored to his old position i'll the
social circles of Beachy, Clyde
Thatcher became a merchant of note,
and with his wife, dwells to-day in 4

| tunes anchorage.

HATE NoT.-it is not worth while
Your life is not long enough to make
it pay to cherish ill-will or hard
thoughts toward any one. What If
that man has cheated you; or that
woman has played false with you?
What if that person you considered
friend has forsaken you i'll your time
of need, or that one, having won
your entire confidence, your warmest
love, has concluded that he prefers
to consider and treat you rs stran-
ger? Let it all pass. What differ
ence will it make to you in n few
years when you 90 hence to the sun
discovered country" All who treat
you wrongly now will be made more
sorry for it then, than you, in your
deepest disappointment and grief, can
be. A few more smiles, a few more
tears; some pleasure, much pain, a
little longer hurrying and worrying
in the world, some hasty greetings
and abrupt f;Tewells, and this life
will be over, and the injurer and in
jured will be laid away and ere long
forgotten. Is it worth while to hate
each other
An attempt was made between one
and three o'clock on the morning of
the 18th inst, to set fire to part of
the business portion of Jefferson City.
The fire was discovered and extin-
guished before any serious damage
was done. This is the second
attempt inside of a month, at incen-
diarism. The laboring portion of
the citizens are opposed to the system
of working the convicts in repairing
and erecting houses, and is insinuated
that among a portion of this class the
feeling of opposition is so strong as to
lead to this resort.-Ex.

The proprietor of the Banner is
not resting easy over the large and
increasing circulation of the HERALD,
Not long since he told one of our
advertisers that the HERALD didn't
have any circulation in the county
The HERALD delivers 80 papers al
its office, and nearly three hundred
through the Cleveland Postofice,
besides the circulation at Charleston,
Linwood, Chatata, McDOnald's and
Blue Springs. In fact the HERALD
has a larger circulation in Bradley
county than the Banner. However
we have seen proper to blow
about it or tell lies about the Banner.
In that respect especially we have
always acted gentlemanly toward the
proprietor of that Paper. The
public generally know that both pa
pers have a respectable circulation,
and therefore we could never see the
use in disappearing the facts.
