The Hog Crop.

A majority of farmers contend that
when pork is only $3.50 per 100 pounds,
they do not get Is cents for their corn.
The present price of pork is therefore
disgusting many farmers, and, as con-
sequence, they are Indifferent whether
they raise any pigs this year. We have
heard this expressed frequently lately,
and this feeling will result in large de-
fciency of hogs one year hence. This
policy will not do. Hogs must be bred
continuously, and by the aid of good
pastures and cheap corn, brought for
ward so that low prices will be remuner
alive Those win eventually who pur-
sue unfalteringly uniform practice of
production on the farm. The fuctua-
tons of trade cannot be foreseen by the
this year or what not to next year. The
present depressed price of pork will
cause a probable deficiency of millions
of hogs next year. This may not bring
back the price of five years ago, and it
is probable that without some great ma
tional CONFUSION the present population
may never see such prices again. Com
munism and Nationalism are fighting
capital, and it will not be invested as
freely in business as it has been. The
sources of industry will thereby be
greatly circumscribed, and labor and trade
will dearly feel the result. But we
have to live, and if fortunes cannot be
made by thousands all the real necessa
ries of life must be provided, and the
farmers must not abandon one OF the
main sources Of sustenance.
Take care of your pigs-more careful
ly than if they were sources OF great
profit. Our corn crop must be fed to
something, and the mass cannot COM
mand the means to put it into steers.
Hogs must be raised, and as there will
be deficiency, they may pay reasona-
BILE profit. 1t is unmanly to let despair
rule and ruin any one. Our fathers
have lived through darker days and
raised noble sons. Read the history Of
the world, and let any Responding one
point out to us that period in history in
which he would rather have lived than
the present. If our produce be cheap,
so are the necessaries for ourselves and
our.families. The farmer, among all the
branches of industry, except the profess
sional. is as we'll remunerated as the
best.-iState Register.

tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
blood. In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter Of a century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are SO composed that obstruc-
tions within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inaamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

It is said that a schoolmaster's testi-
mony is not valid in a Mohammedan
court of law, because it is believed
that he must have been mad before he
undertook to teach children; or the chill
dren must have driven him crazy by the
noise they made repeating their lessons
aloud all at the same time.

The increase in the value of real
estate over 1877 amounts to $751;
285 90. This will give some idea of
the improvement of our city, but
since the values are somewhat less
ened in this assessment as a whole,
it is scarcely high enough an esti-
mate to place upon our gain in
wealth by Improvements. The per-
sOnalty loses $50, 675. This gives a
net loss of only $500. The polls
exceed last year So; So we have a
net revenue for 1873 of $40, O16.814
against $40, 0O5. 434 of 1877, a gain of
$11.374, the rate of taxation being
the same for both years. When we
consider that this assessment was
made by eight different assessors
for the separate wards, it reflects
great credit upon their desire to fix
a fair and impartial valuation upon
the realty. All the personality which
consists in bank stock was taken di-
rectly from the books of the banks.
1t is a matter of but little cOnse-
qence, for inasmuch as low valua-
tiOns necessarily increase the rate of
taxation-since the amount to be
raised to meet the interest account
and other expenses require a certain
amount-would it not be better for
the city to have full values of assess
ment and low rates of taxation.
Our two new churches, whose
ornateness and beauty is so attract
i've, the cabinet building at the
University and other improvements
which are free from taxation, would
augment the total value of improve
ments and increase it at least $780,
900.

Flowers and Fruit.

Our friends in town and country
still cater for our tastes for flowers,
and our editorial table is seldom
imprOvided with bouquets. 1t is
wonderful how much this aids the
otherwise wearisOme and prOsaic
work of the editor. DIR. Wilcox
brought us from Mrs. w. splendid
array of scarlet geraniums, pinks,
hOneysuckles, etc, clustered around
a queenly magnolia, like maids of
honor attendant on an empress.
Accompanying this was basket of
apples and pears, which lasts us
long, for our dyspeptic tendency
renders our indulgence in them
very sparing. Mr.. II. NJ. Dudley,
from st. Bethlehem, hasalsO brought
us a floral tribute of very choice Sc
lectiOns from Mrs. Dudley's garden.
The fuSchiaS SurDaSS any varieties
of that graceful flower we have seen,
and there was rose whose name
we forget, but it ought to be called
"maiden's first love-" it is of pure
virgin white, with a delicate flush
on the edges of the petals like that
of n young girl who has not quite
made up her mind whether there is
anything to blush at or not. Kind
friends, there is no form in which
we appreciate your kindness so
truly us when it comes in the shape
of beautiful flowers.

A melancholy bereavement has befallen
US. 1t is rare for any community to be more
stricken with grief than this, on the untime-
" death of Mrs. Marion Henry Drane Mum
ford wife of Thomas j. Munford. She died
at their residence near GAINESVILLE on the
Dist of June, 1878, after a long and painful
illness, in the 33d year of her age. She was
the third daughter of DIR. Walter H. and
Mrs. Eliza ]. Drane. She was born, raised,
married and died in Montgomery county, in
full communion with the Episcopal Church
in GAINESVILLE, and was a most estimable
lady and universally beloved by her friends
and especially by the poor, who win miss
her kind ministrations of charity every day
of their lives. She and Mr.. Munford were
married in February 1873, and soon after
purchased delightful and spacious resi-
dence ON Greenwood Avenue, where they
lived happily, affectionately and contented-
ly together. She will be missed by her hus-
band, to whom she was deyotedly attached,
and who gave in return his whole heart to
her; by her aged mother who was the OBJ
ject of her constant solicitude and love, and
by large circle of relatives and friends who
followed her remains to their quiet resting
place in Greenwood Cemetry. He Christian
character was wonderfully developed in
her ast moments. She said, Lord have
mercy upon me Christ have mercy upon
me! And turning her eyes upon her moth
er she said with smile, Mother did you
hear my little prayer" In moment she
had passed away, and that little prayer was
heard and registered above.
The survivor of this happy couple has the
heart felt sympathy of this whole commu-
nifty in this, his hour of severe trial and ire
parable loss.

South CIarkSViIIe.

We took a visit through South
GAINESVILLE, a few days ago, and
was surprised to see the amount of
Improvements going on in that
thrifty little village.
On the corner of Forest and Read
streets, Mr.. r. B. Tarpley is build
Ing Il handsome two story front to
his residence, which will make it
one of the handsOmest and most
comfortable houses near GAINESVILLE.
He is one of our best mechanics and
an excellent citizen, and we rejoice
to see this evidence of thrift attend
ing him. On the opposite side of
Forest street, near the Methodist
Church, Wesley Perkins and Judge
Smith have each built a nice frame
house, both nearly completed.
Farther west on Read street Mr..
Tom Orrell has built a good frame
house and is now living in it.
On King street, nearly opposite
the old Poor House building, Judge
Smith and Mr.. NJ. G.. Rhodes are
each building a nice frame house,
and they will both be completed
next week. These are all good
houses and will be occupied as soon
as completed, and we understand
there is a demand for many more
like them. While in that neighbor-
hood we called at the brick-yard of
Mr.. Geo. S. Dick. He is making
ten thousand brick a day, and on
last Tuesday finished burning his
