coming year are in order now. We
have heretofore counseled cur farmer
friends against planting so much cotton,
ana urging them to turning their at
tenton to raising everything needed on
which to live; cur advice was not
needed, and we now see the error Of
our judgement and the bad counsel we
gave vou. The idea, as we now an
derstand it, is to astonish the world
with tig crop Of oo,ton} we take in
the magnitude Of the undertaking, and
now hasten 10 set ourselves right with
our planting friends, and say plant eve
ry foot of ground you can git, it don't
matter whether you ever pay your rents
or the sheriff does il for you; give II
deed OF trust on every mule, OK, COW,
calf. Pig, dog, and all the children that
are too small to use hoe. Last year,
Notwithstanding the short crop. which
was attributable to the unfavorable sea
sons tor the s,aple, over foLr million
tales were marketed, and now with all
,he favorable representations Of iEe
wise men Of our land, and little hea-
yer strain on the part OF our cotton
ra,scrs, we telicve that over lise mil
li,u bales can be placed on the market
neSr lll, at price not exceeding eight
ceus per pound. Go in every body.
What if you get busted? you'll still bt
as well off as your neighb.rs, and that
is all the consolation YOU need.
