q. WORD TO FAnMERs.

All the indications of the present day are
that within less than thirty days the decla-
ration of war will have been made in
Europe, and oil the principal powers of that
continent will be engaged in the struggle.
Indeed, 1t Is almost impossible to adjust the
Eastern question without @ conflict, which
must begin soon, and is destined to convulse
the whole of Europe and paralyze its bust
ness energies.
In the event OF such strife, America will
in q great lneasure become the source of
suppIy:sto the necessities OF several Of those
countries. They will need cur manufac-
lures, will purchase our firearms and anu
nition, but, most of all. will have to obtain
their bread and meat, to large extent, from
America. The demand for cotton may be
very little or it may not be affected, but one
thing Is sure, war in Europe will greatly
advance the price OF corn, flour and meat.
0ur people should prepare for this contin-
gency by planting an abundance of corn to
supply them until another crop Is made.
Indeed, the raising Of corn and meat will be
more profitable than cotton Il e genera! war
occurs, as is now most likely. We have not
written this article for sensation, but for the
purpose Of letting our people know the
present business outlook, and every one can
ect as his own judgment dictates.

Messrs. Editors: The cause of temperance
Is rapidly gaining ground in and around
Williamson. A division was started at this
place during the summer Of 1875 with fifteen
chartered members. Since that time there
has been scarcely meeting without one or
more accessions. The division now num-
bers about one hundred members. It is
encouraging indeed 10 see what change
has come over our little village for the last
few months. There are quite q number of
young ladies who have Joined in with us to
battle against the all pervading destroyer,
alcohol, besides some very old men. All
seem to be joined hand in hand in the glori-
GUS cause and agree that no whiskey must
be used during this sign of our beloved
Hampton. at o regular meeting of this
division, on Saturday evening, 7th inst, the
following officers were elected to serve the
ensuing quarter '+

Mr. Diogenes.

This singular man lived in Greece. He
was distinguished for his eccentrioities. bad
manpers, end bad disposition. It was his
chief business to find fault. For example,
he took lantern one day when the sun was
shining brightly and went out to search for
an honest man, thereby. insinuating that
such persons were exceedingly scarce When
Alexander, distinguished military gentle
man, paid him visit. and inquired what he
could do for him, he had the impu zee to
tell hin to "get out of bis sunshine. To
cap the climax of his oddities, he dressed
like heggar and lived in tub! He was q
sour, Grabbed, crusty old bachelor. We tn
fer that he had no wife, first, because history
docs not mention her; second. because no
woman would take kindly to ono Of his
habits, dress, or manners, or aspire to be-
come mistress Of his mansion. There was
an old woman who lived in shoe" 1t Is
true, but the woman who would live In q
!!uo, and especially with such O companion,
has not been he.ird from. The misanthropic
spirit which possessed this man was doubt
less due TO disordered digestion and bill
:cnsness. one of the prominent symptoms
OF which Is morose, hult-fiuding disposi-
tion. The tongue is heavily coated, giving
RI rise to bad taste, the appetite is not good,
the patie.it feels dub sleepy, or dizzy, and
Diogcnes lived several centuries before DR..
Pierce,s Pleasant Purgative Pellets were in
vented, O Few doses Of which would have
relieved him of his bile" and enabled him
to find scores of honest men" without the
aid OF his lantern. Under their magic in
huence, combined with that of the Golden
Medical Discovery, to cleanse his blood, he
might have been led to take more cheerful
view of life, to exchange his tub for decent
habitation, to 'spruce up in personal up
pearanoe, and at last have taken O wife to
mend his clothes and his manners, both of
which were In evident need of repairs, and
become the happy siro of little Diogencses
who would have handed down to posterity
the name, not of cynic philosopher, but Of
cheerful, healthy, happy, virtuous man!

The gale on lest Fra6sy we0 the most con
,nuous and severe that has ever been expe-
,iencsd III this country. Beginning little
nfter midnight the wind was perfect huIri-
cane for near twenty-four hours, uprooting
quantities of trees and denolishing many
fences throughout the County and demag-
ing the roofs of number Of houses. At
times the rain fell in tremendous torrents,
swelling the streams very much, washing
off mill dana. deluging the low lands Of the
County and cutting the plowed uplands
with ugly bitches. Considerable damage
vas done to our farmers. During the day it
sleeted and showed but did not lie upon the
ground, and on the following morning the
Blue Ridge Mountains presented 8 beautiful
sight, rejecting the bright sunlight from
their high peaks, which were wrapped in
deep snow. We have never seen such o
combination Of rain and storm continue for
so long time.
