taxes until the next harvest has been
gathered. In fifty-seven towns and viii

The Increase in the cotton crop South
is reported at 1000 bales more than in
any preceding year. The increase in
cotton is expected to yield $40, 100000
more than last year. The tobacco crop
is $4,000, 900 pounds over last year, and
sugar 100000 hogshsa,ls greater. This
surplus is valued at $40, OOO, 900 over the
product of last year. On the other hand,
the west is thought to have 10000, 900
bushels of corn. more than ever before,
and the hay product is also larger this
year than for many years past. Cattle
will also probably go over previous years
production, the price of grain is large
and meat predictions realize fair value.

A Conscientious Murderer.

the fact that the confessed murde.

as the scruple may look, this is not

without apparently feeling much

Editor Of the Herald:

Esiifor OF the Herald:
Your correspondent "PaciGcus,'
disheartened by the recent Repub-
lican victories at the North, puts
forward the Suggestion that the
South should support Grant as its
Candidate for the Presidency in
1880. There are some very sensi.
BILE me4 with whom the idea of a
coup d. etat is SO captivating as to
completely upset their judgment
whenever 1t is presented. But a
stroke Of policy to be successful
must be something more than sim.

entertains this thought examine
the feeling from which it proceeds
aud be will find it Que which he
would be reluctant to avow. Why

ment or principle upon which she

do 1t now when, despite his efforts
to prevent it, she is enjoying the
full control OF her domestic

fluence IN the affairs ofthc Nation?
Tho thought is born Of abject and
time-sarving spirit which Il would
be painful to see develop itself in
tho South. A whole people can
not act lie, and II We were to at.

tencc would be exposed and where

AYERS ALMANAC.

The average reader may think an almanac is small concern. It is generally only small pamphlet, but the labor, and energy, and enterprise, and time, and money, and the high order of mathematical and astrorom- ical skill required to construct one and circulate it as extensively as some of them are circulated-when all of these are taken into consider ation it is not such a small matter after all. For instance take the al manac of Dr. J. c. Aver & Co.,, of Lowell Mass. It is printed in eight different languages, viz: English, German, French, Spanish, Holland Dutch, Norwegian, Portugesc, and Swedish. One edition of ten million annually is published, requiring eight months to print them at the rate of 50'000 copies per day, and consuming for their production l6,- 900 rcams, or 5000 pounds ot pa. per. It is an immense and cxpcn sive enterprise.
 We are gratfied to receive the seasonable compliments of Dr. J. c. Aver Co.,, with a complete set of this best of all almanacs; and although our clas- sical lore is not equal to a perusal of them all, we shall file them away as something of a curiosity, illustra- ting the vim, enterprise and mar vels of this marvellous age. It IS in- structivc and entertaining to com pare the names of the popular med icines which the almanac advertises, as they are rendered in the different languages. Thus: Ayers Cathartlc Pills are called in French, Pilnles Cathartiques d'Ayer; in Spanish, Pildoras Catarticas de Aver; in Por- tuguese, Pilulas Catharticas de Aver; in German, Ayers Reinigungs Pl len; in Dutch, Ayers Zuiverende Pillen; in Swedish, Ayers Losande Filler; in Norwegian, Ayers Afforen. de Filler; in Italian, Pillole Purga. tive di Aver: in Welch, Peleneau Rhyddhool Aver; Tn Slavonic, Ayers Rozwalniaiace PlgulkI; in Polish, Ayersa Pigulki Pazeczyszczajace.
 We advise our readers to make note of thls last name; if they hap pen to want box of Ayers Pills the next time they are in Poland, it will be handy to know what to ask for.

 John Powhastan Tracy calls Springfield the sleepy city" and John Powhattan is about right, too The citizens of Springfield did very little to make the city what she is She was fortunate in being the cen tre of a very large trade, and she naturally grew to be quite place, without much effort on the part ol her people. The time has come when she must wake up''. Little Rock has a covetous eye..oa the trade of northern Arkansas, which Spring field principally controls, and it is not necessary to state to our readers, who have noticed the many cotton wagons passing through this section enrout for Springfield. that this trade is q very large item to the sleepy city" Little Rock Is now making arrangements to make good wagon road from that place to Harrison, fol the express purpose of cutting of the trade of that section from Springfield. We have not heard ol Springfield doing anything. If the merchants of Springfield will read the Arkansas papers, they will soon discover that something must be done, and done quickly, or the trade of northern Ark. is gone from them for cyermore, only this and nothing more.-[ Ozark (Mo.)

 Yes and another two weeks will show the Rip Van Wrinkles of the city of the Hills, that it is too late to cry ''stop thief"
 The road from Harrison to Russ ellville is being pushed with energy and vim by the citizens of the latter place particularly, and in day or two more the Harrison force will commence making things equally lively on this end. Our people are in earnest, and mean business, and to show to our brethren of Russell vile that we appreciate their ener- getic steps, it ls proposed to make up an excursion train of l50 or 200 wagons, loaded with what we have to sell, and visit that place on or about tue first of the new year. Al ready some of our merchants have ordered their freight from St. Louis to be shipped to Russcllville, and our farmers are preparing their wagons for the trip. Such a turn. out was never seen in Arkansas, and we would advise the "Rips" of Springfield to send another delega tion of fruit. tree pcddlers to witness the procession, but as we have not time to write them individual invi- tations and as our only merchant reader in Springfield, we feel conf dent will not feel like waking all of them up to show them this article, we fear they will not hear of the grand event till they see an account of it in the St. Louis dailes.--Har. rison Times,
