In his new spiritual birth,
No garments soiled with earth,
Cling around the little form that happy strays
UP through the gates of pearl and golden ways,
Where brother spirits meet him,
And angels joyfully greet him,
Arrayed in robes of white,
He walks the paths of light,
Adjoining the city Of our God,
The glorious realms by saints and martyrs lrod

TOT TIC T1me
The Future on the Farm.

While it cannot fail to be gratifying to every
one OF us to hear favorable reports of the crops
from all parts of the country, it is bad policy TO
haiioo before we get out Of the woods. Moth
ing is more deceiving than that luxurant
growth which the cotton plant takes on af-
ter drought when wet spell sets in, but it
Is almost always fatal to good crop. When a
cotton plant is growing too luxuria nly it is apt
TO cast its forms and to spreal out its upper
limbs which will keep the sun from the lower
bolis and they consequently rot or mature badly.
Although every farmer knows this he is so fiat
tered by the pleasing change which has come
over his prospects since the rain set in that he
will indulge in dreams of success and build up
his castles accordingly.
49,, AS to corn one is not so easily deceived
When go corn is badly cultivated no amount of
rain viii bring 1t out. When the tassel dies be-
iore SILK makes its appearance or the stalk
gets round and hard and the shoot puts out near
the top il is about all over with that corn. The
best thing you can do is to cut it down and feed
1t green - your horses. No farmer need tiatter
himself with the belief that a corn stalk will
make good ear under such circumstances and
tho sooner he sets about supplementing the de-
hciency by some other means the better
Sow turnips largely-they will help q good
deal. Prepare lots about your bnrns-rnake
them rich aud SOW farley and oats-2 of barley,
1 or oats. Sow rye among your corn, for pas
ture; put in good share of wheat enough at
least, for family use; and, above all 90 largely
on red oats. Bear in mind that it is a question
OF life and death. If you want to keep your
stock alive they must have something to ent
and If you want to keep out of that costly iusti-
tuition, corn crib on a cotton plantation, you
must resort to NIL the shifts you can to succeed.
Try and not let any animal get poor or 'under
the weather" 1t is much easier to keep q
healthy or fat animal than sickly or poor one
nnn,t aspase thap 10 had
ment anu they will eat less. Don't be content
with worm fence shelter for your cows, or
TOO open stable for your horse; warmth is food
anu II you have not the corn to raise the tenn
peIature within yom should protect him from
tn. cold from without. Get your fertilizer an,,
lien debts arranged The best way you can re-
solve not to go in debt for any <hing that can be
grown or manufactured Oh the farm /; practice
rigid economy in every department and hold
your cotton long as you can from the specu-
lators, and you may hope for better times

For the Times.
Our County Fair.


Mr.. EDIToR The annual Fair of the Aori-
cultural and Mechanical Association is rapidly
approaching and would ask, are we preparing
to meet 1t and crown it with the success IL de-
serves? know the drought has greatly in
jured the farmers and our yields of orops will
not be so large as we anticipated, but it has af-
fected us all alike, or nearly so, and we have IN
equal chance with our neighbors 80 let us not
stand back on that account, but rally to the fair
and exhibit everything we possibly can. Be.
sides the pleasure Of meeting our old friends and
making new ones and having jolly good time
TOR few days, where can we learn so much for
such small amount Of money as we can at the
County Fair.
understand the citizers Of Union had an ex-
hibition of some kind last week and devoted the
proceeds to the Agricultural and Mechanical So
ciety, and why cant all the Townships in the
county have something Of tho kind There are
ten townships, and IL each one would raise, say
nifty dollars, that would amount to the snug lit
lie sum OF five hundred dollars, which would
help wonderfully towards paying off the indebt-
cdness OF the society. The President and Secre-
tary and other leading members are large, ener-
getio farmers, doing all in their power 30 make
the Farmers especially. give them the aid they
should have they cannot accomplish what they
would. They have published the Premium List
and think II is full and satisfactory The So
ciety owns about SO acres Of land with two good
buildings on 1t. very we'll fenced, but owes some
money and now are we going to let the association
go down for want Of the little assistance we
should give u? In conclusion, let me urge that
we all so to work--and work hard--pntil the
fair comes of, and then let US drop everything
and attend the fNir. Let us all 20 and carry
our wives AMI children and have good time
Hnd make "it Fair equal TO any 10 the State.

attractive featnre in the entertainment. Those
appendages OF the Admiral usually form but \
neutral tinted background to the piece but NJ RS
W. brought them forward in praiseworihy and
novel manner. Her cold reception of Iiebe' $
farewell. when she appropriated SIR Josenh, was
excessively amusing. Mrs. Jno. R., MS another
Aunt. formed also conspicuous feature.
and certainly very handsome one. The re.
mainder Of the female relatives exhibited sin.
enseioyaly, and il all such relatives wcre MS fas
cinating, we would all like to "reokon them by
the dozens" Sir Joseph displayed with re-.
markable skill the overbearing pomposity of
those "after his Kind" and illustrated with
great cleverness the result of "polishino up the
handle Of the big front door," The Official
bearing was inimitablc; in fact the impersoua-
ton wasthorough. His voice is sweet and round.
and it is pleasure to listen TO his clear enun
ciation.
Captain Corcoran was our exact idea of n nau-
tioal commander, and carried off his official hon
ors so well that there was feeling of regret
when the discovery ''that Ralph was he and he
was Ralph" was made. Mr.. C. c. C's.
voice is one peculiarly adapted to the part, and
his bearing found in all an echo of the crews 5
scntments--
And right good Captain too;
We give three cheers and one cheer more.
For tho Captain of the Pinafore'
Ralph Racksraw's part was n very difficult
one to fill-much sentiment and "a kindly cho-
rus. hS u ioNer MT. NJ. w. ". nils the bill
and in his farewell to Josephine, he sang as
only good Tenor can.
Dick Deadeye! What can be said of Richard?
His face Scared with tokens of old wars. his
acting as playful as O holiday-he represents
the sense of the crew, and is the only sane man
on board. Mr.. L. II. is a good actor, and
should all else fail, he knows what a power he
holds in reserve. The Boaswain was enacted
by MIR. C. Il. r.. and though minor character,
COOL, even acting gave an interest otherwise
unusual TO the part. The Crew proved them
selves able supporters IN all the choruses, and,
it necessary to maintain discipline, were ready
with ga knock down blow"
But who really stood at the Helm of the good
ship "Pinafore 7" 1t was chiefly owing to the
musical directive talent of Miss M. H., Of Char
lesion, that the ship with her amateur seamen
did not come to grief before the voyage was
over.
And who launched the 'Pinafore" on those
unknown seas? To Mrs. Jno. L. Y. is this hon
or due. Notwithstanding the many forebodinrs
OF friends she persisted in her efforts, with
characteristic energy and strength, and we are
the witnesses of her perfect success.

The CRoPs IN TENNEssEE.-- Nashville, Septem-
Der 6..-The August report of the State Agricul-
tural Bureau shows that cotton has been some
what damaged by cold nights and rains, but not
so much as to materially affect the crop. Pros
poets were never better. Corn prospects have
been wonderfully improved by recent general
rains. The acreage is so much larger than
hereio ofore that the crop will far exceed the usu-
nj average. The tobacco acreage will not be rs
large MS last year. but the quality is better, with
prospects of good crop. The peanut acreage
has increased. With favorable season the
fall crops are generally tattering.
