"IT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST drawbacks
to successful farming in this country" says
Brother Boardman OF the Boston Cuifiudior,
"that our farmers have so little of that part
of the movable or working capital denom-
mated cash. They have generally large
farms, small numbers Of live stock, limited
means for fertilization, but little ready money
and sometimes large and heavy load OF
mortgage This condition of affairs keeps
farming in q low and slow state, and letters
the farmer in all his operations"

Crop Prospects.

The wheat prospect is not good in this section. In fact, excepting a few farms that we hear of, the wheat crop is not likely to be worth the harvesting. Oats are improving in appearance. The long dry weather of early spring retarded their growth and resulted in some perma- nent injury to this crop, though we have seen some good crops of oats about town. Corn is looking unusu- ally well. In fact, it is more ad- vanced and prospect is better than we remember at this time Of the year for several years. All accounts arc favorable for cotton. The cut worm threatened to do some damage, but the stands are good and the crop promises to be large one SO far. Most fruits have "hit" not withstanding the frosts, and the outlook now is for an abundance of all kinds of fruit.-Logan Co.,, Enterprise.

FINE STOCK.

We are glad to know that our far. mers are beginning to manifest some concern in the matter of getting bet ter breeds of stock. A commence ment has been made, and we trust the gentlemen who have taken the first steps by importing some good blooded cattle to our county will meet with the success which their undertaking merits.
 Last Tuesday Mir. G. s. Brown had his one year old full-blooded male calf in town. It is pure blooded Durrum and is as pretty as a picture.
 It was one year old Tn March last, and although it is not fat 1t weighed TIA pounds gross. To look at m animal like it and then to look al the common scrub stock, and to re- member that it costs no more t1 raise good stock than it does to raise the common scrubs, it is astonishing that ou- farmers don't take more in terest in the improvement of theil stock. Mir. John M. Bradluy, also ol our county, has a very fine Jersey male Is months old.
 We trust that the zeal which these gentlemen are manifesting will be emulated by others and that it may not be many years until the scrut race of stock in our county shall bt succeeded by better blooded stock.

THE COUNTY-SEAT.

Notwithstanding the fact that the will of the people has been: thwarted since last September in regard to the location of the County Seat-thwart- ed, too,- upon mere legal technical ities, the fact remains that out of 1886 votes then boiled there were l240 voters, who had an unquestion- able right to vote on the question, who registered their ballots ''For Change" and 1104 who registered their choice "For Russellyille." The question with the people now is, How much longer is the majority to be baffied out of their rights by le gal technicalities2 Let every voter be certain when he goes to the polls on the 20th day of June, that he IS in his own voting precinct, that his ballot is properly made out, and that it is properly deposited and his name is properly written upon the poll books. We want this matter settled as the people desire it to go, but we tell the people right nov that they must give the anti-removalists no pretext to throw out votes or to resist the result or the next election. If any pretext can be trumped up it will be used, notwithstanding four fifths of the county now regard it
 public nuisance and a public
 fortune to have the county

The Census ScrvIce.

Secretary Schurz has issued cir cuIar in relation to the organization of the Census service, which states that the census is to be taken under the directions of officers to be styled supervisors of census" one or more for each State or territory not exceed. ing 150 for all the States and Tiri- tories, to be appointed py the Pre- sident, by and with the advice and consent oI the Senate. Application for appointment to the position of of supervisor may be addressed to to the Secretary of the Interior, but nominations will not be made before December next. The actual work of enumeration within each supervisors district will be perform ed by officers to be styled the ''numer- ators'' who will be designated to the Superintendent of Census at Wash ington by the supervisor. Apolica- tions for appointment of enumor- ators should addressed to the super visor of the district in which the applicant resides.
 The Census officers at Washing ton has been organized by the apoint- ment of Mir. Francis A. Walker as Superintendent of Census. No appointments to clerkships in that office, not already determined upon, will be'made prior to May l, 1880. Applications for appointment in the Census office will therefore be in ample season if received at the De- partment of the Interior by April 10, 1880. No preference in appoint ments will be given to any one by reasons of earlier application. Alp pointments in the Census Offices will be made only upon examination to determine the qualifications Oi the applicants for the position sought.

.Exit fsing Cotton ;

Under this heading, in its colum, devoted to 'Commerce and Financev the New Orleans Picayune calls at. tention to the fact that beroye the war, and for several years after cot ton was not only the largest itcmaeS export, but the man reliance of the States in furnishing exchange to pav for importations. This IS no longer the case. Of late years the exports of other agricultural products have increased with wonderful rapidity. Of the total exports in 1865 the pro. ducts of agriculture amounted to only $207, ,232, ,749. During the last fiscal year they were S502, ,475,8iS. It may be remarked in passing tha with all the boasting about progress in manufactures the sale of manu. factured goods abroad by the United States do not even now reach $50. 100000 per annum. In 1866 the ex. ports of raw cotton from the United States were valued at S2Sl 1885, 223. At that time she total exports of merchandise from the United States were only S,S59,522. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1878, the exports of raw cotton were valued at $I7S,415,o00, while the total ship ments of merchandise abroad had in, creased to $694, ,S3S,496, In 1874 thS exports of wheat from the United States were only $7,S42, ,749, and of wheat four. $IS,396,6S6. For the fiscal year ending June Both last the exports of wheat had increased to $96, 2,016, and of wheat flour to $25, 5,092,926. The total exports of bread and breadstuffa increased du- ring this period from $4l, ,250, ,000 to $181,777, ,S4I. The :large crop of wheat grown last year having met with an unprecedented demand from abroad, the exports for the calendar year, 1878, amounted to l09, 7SS,6f6 bushels, worth $l55, ,574, 557. For the first half of the present fiscal year they amounted to 75,67S,5S3 bushels, valued at $50, 4,249. The indications are that the demand will continue equally as good during the balance of the year. Should this be the case u will probably place wheat at the head of the lists of exports from this country, as our exports of cotton this season are not likely to exceed $t50,000,000 in value. There is whole volume of instructiod in the facts thus presented that So think our people would do to bear in mind.-Memphis Appeal.

Are these not rath- CT unaccountable rawlings for demo cratic paper2 If the latter state ment had been made by republi- can paper it would not excite any wonder, but for a journal which sup ported Mir.
