"a STRANGE BED TELLER

Greensboro Ky Messenger (;
During the last cold snap, one of our
farmers chose certain day TO kill
his hogs, which was, to use bis own
language, "a leetle too cold The
hogs froze on The pole as fast as they
we're hung up, and after all were
killed the boys took several hot tod
dice, and the old man, who was al,
ready staggering, stumbled off into
back room and was soon fast asleep
in the wrong bed. About eight
o'clock neighbor, who had been
helping, concluded to 60 home, and
as he went out stopped to examine
the hogs on the pole, which he found
COLI as stones. Taking one Of the
smallest down, he lugged it around
the house to the back door, carried
it into the old man room aud throw
ing back the bed clothes laid it snug
ly up to the old man, spoon fashion,
then covered them up and left
About ! o'clock the old man a~oke,
and instantly yelled out, Dave,
Dave! O, Dave !" Dave was still
busiIy gagged at euchre in the oth>
err room, but answered, " Mat the
devil do you want with me y Come
here quick with light-run here !!

A QUESTION FOR SOUTHERN DEM

for Southern Democratic newspa>

the most careless observer, that he
was the only man in the party whom
he Democrats could have elected in
1876. If he was cheated out Of the
election, it was less his fault than
that of his party. 1t certainly does
not lie in the mouths Of Democratic
Congressman, especially from the
ou'h, to find fault with him. lie

and how Radical newspapers and
politicians can denoHnce and misrep
resent Mr.. Tilden-thc best organ

Democratic party--but we fail to
see shy Democrats should follow

GUANO WAR.

In lover Georgia, we notice IN
our exchanges, that wordy war Is
in progress in regard to the incrcas-
ed price of guano this year over that
of last. The farmers have resolved
not to pay it, arguing that i! is un
lust and Improbable. The manu-
facturers say that the old price was
ruinous to them, over half the plan
ters having failed TO meet their obs
legations, forcing them on the brink
of bankruptcy, and therefore it is
out of the question for them to nakela
frat class standard fertilizer and sell
a last years prices and take cotton
at 8 Gems per pound in payment,
because it entails loss, they Inot be-
ing able to realize mere than seven
and eight cents for the cotton. The
farmer on the other hand says my
farm products have been reduced in
price, your fertilizer must come
down also, or won't purchase it
How the matter will end, we cannot
conjecture.

COLUMBUS Times: "Notwithstand-
ing the low price Of cotton and the
cry of hard times, we have not known
50 many mules aud wagons sold in
Columbus in five years as are now
being sold by our dealers. 1t would
be difficult to report the number Of
mules sold, but they are being sold
daily by ones twos and threes to six
es, and one of our wagon dealers
sold six wagons 10 two days LAST
week A few years ago it was rath-
err an uncommon sight to see new
wagon on the street, and now old
ones are about as scarce as ew ones
we're then. These are encouraging
sigos, for they show that low prices
of cotton have not knocked the spirit
out of our farming community, and
that in spite of the unlocked tor
price at which they have sold their
last crop, they have means to buy
all needed stock and utensils for their
farms. Luck to our farmers !"

that the half has not been told. He
SAYS that business men, in all departments,
are Just as busy as bees, and are counting
confdentially upon better trade than they
ever had before. Manufacturing indus
tries are being pushed to their utmost.
The iron mills, so maay Of which have
lately been idle, are now running full
handed, all the glsss factories are starting
up again; old furnaces that have not been
fred-up for years are being patched up
preparatory to starting, and, in short, the
whole country is alive with the hum and
stir of business.
There is not doubt that We are just now
entering upon a season OF uneIampled
prosperity, and no part of the country will
feel the effects of this new life more SEN
sibly than Kansas. With her vast fertile

THE GROWTH OF THE WEST

has a lengthy article upon the wonderful
increase of population in the United States,
and the capabilities OF the country &c sup

Whoever carefully examines the statistics
showing how the population of the United
STATES has grown OF late years must be i'm
pr, sSed with the rspidity with which the
Western states are on stripping the Southern
and Eastern. The rate OF increase in some of
the Southern and Northern States Is almost
identical ; for instance, the southern State
OF Mississippi and the Northern state of New
Hampshire are on par in this respect, while
Alabama, one OF the most back ward of the
former States, Is not much behind Vermont.

States, IL may be regarded an exception,
because ii ems to exhibit as rapid progress
as any one IN the West; yet, when its vast
size Is taken into account, there is nothing
wonderful in its evelopment. Such States a.
Ksnass and Illinois, Iowa. Nebraska and Min
neaota are conspicuous in this rivalry, and
they bid fair 10 continue TO be distinguished
above the Others. IL is with reference to
these western States that the words of Mr.
Whittier in his Well known verses on the
Western Pioneers are fraught with perfect
Truth, tor i'm them the pioneers are really ad-
vancing like the first low wash of waves
where "A human sea will soon break. The
progress westward is the more significant be-
cause il Is emphstically progress of trained
and seasoned men who have learned what
life is in less congeuisl regions, and who are
well adapted for bearing with .quanImity
