 The House Committee on Agricul- ture will report bill to give growers of tobacco the right to produce it in any quantity and for any purpose free of taxation. The bill is opposed by the Internal Revenue Bureau and the manu- lecturers of tobacco. MT. KimbaIl, Chief of the Tobacco Division of the Internal Revenue Office, says that the bill, if passed, will be disastrous to the States where tobacco IS grown as the money crop or chief agricultural product. He says that tobacco can be grown without d1f1culty In most of the States of the Union, and It it can be disposed of, ex- empt of taxation, either special fer sell lHg or specific, farmers everywhere will engage ln the cultivation of the plant. Consumers can buy the leaf direct from the producers and manipulate it them selves They can thereby avoid pay.

Manufac turers oppose the bill, because it will, i 1t becomes law, greatly diminish theil business. The Treasury authorities art opposed to if, because it will diminish the revenues.

Look at This!

1t is a fact becoming generally known
that H. Glicksman, opposite the Court
House, is selling Dry Goods, Notions and
Fancy Goods much lower than any other
house in the town of Washington c. H..
Ohio. He is daily receiving goods of ev-
cry description. Such styles have not
been on exhibition in this place for
long time, If ever before.
He informs us his stock will be greatly
Increased, and in very short time he
will have the most complete stock Of
goods in Southern Ohio
Thanking his former patrons for so
large share of their trade, with a stand
ing invitation not only tothem, butto the
entire public, to call and examine his
stock at their earliest convenience, with
the positive promise that no one will
leave his store without being fully sails
fed, both with the prices and the articles
he offers to the public.

we know no country town ia south
ern Ohio where capital might be invested
in manufacturing to a greater advantage
than in this town. No county in the State
has q more fertile soil than Fayette, every
acre of land is good for agricultural pur-
poses. This being the fact, there is
large home demand for great variety of
manufactured articles. Ia the first place,
what we most need is an establishment
for the manufacture of agricultural i'm
plements. Then a wooden factory with
the necessary amount of capital-man-
aged economically and skillfully-would
undoubtedly be paying institution. In
addition TO these, there are other branches
of manufacturing that are much needed
here, which we doubt not, if properly
managed, would yield a handsome profit
on the investment, and increase the pop
ulatiOn and business of our town and
county.
The fact that there are now three rail-
roads leading ont of this place directly
into the best coal and iron districts in the
State, offers peculiar advantages and sub
stantial inducements to capitalists seek
ing places in which to invest their means
in manufacturing to invest here; and
when we see the great number of plOws,
Of all descriptions, brought from other
places and distributed among our farmers
Eeve-y year, and the great demand for all
kinds of agricultural implements, we are
at lossto know why it is that capitalists
and manufacturers have, in their search
! for investments and business, overlooked
one of the most desirable places in the
Isouthern portion of the State for profita-
BILE investments. In addition to superior
business advantages, our town is one of
the most healthy locations in Ohio. The
great amount of drainage in the county
has afforded the means for conducting
the water from the surface and Of drain
ing the country thoroughly, there being
no pools of filthy water standing in the
countyato create miasnla, and Consistently
disease. Capitalists who are seeking To-
cations would do well to visit this place,
and take little time TO comprehend the
many advantages possessed by this place
for manufacturing.
There is also fine farming lands in this
| county that can be bought at low figures,
considering the quality. of soil and loca-
| ton. The county seat is accessible at all
| times of the year from nearly every neigh
borhOOd, over excellent, free turnpike
! roads. These, with many other adYan-
tages, make Fayette county a most de-
sirable section of the State in which to
procure homes and profitable business.

JeTfersonvllle.

On Tuesday morning last we took the 8
O'Clock train and went up to onr neigh
boring village of JefFersonville Since
the completion of the Springfield, jack
son and Pomeroy r. R. through that
place, new energy and vigor seems to
have been infused into the people, and
the business of the town and its immedi-
ate neighborhood, and it has become one
of the principal points in the county for
buying and shipping grain, and other
commodities, the products of that rich
section of our county. The firm of Roe
buck and Bendel, grain buyers, have
been doing a heavy business in their line
of trade; as the town of Jeffersonville-
situated in the middle of an agricultural
district, which for its fertility and excel
lent cultivation of the soil, is not sur
passed by any portion of Ohio, this
fact in connection with its present and
prospective facilities for the shipment of
its abundant supplies, makes it CONNER
cial center for that portion of the county.
In view of these advantages and the ne
cessities they create, our old friend, VIM.
T. Howard, has laid out an addition to
the town on which new buildings are be-
ing erected. Others are also contempla-
ting new additions, and as all these ex-
tensions and improvements are being
made, the necessity of extending the linz
its Of the municipality is apparent.
E The new road coming from Allendale;
on the D. s. S. E. r. R., TO Columbus, via
Mt. Sterling, is another enterprise that
promises new and valuable commercial
advantages to JeffersonYille. The con-
tractors are energetically at work on the
grading of this road, which bids fair to
be completed before many months. When
this enterprise is accomplished, it will
give our Jefersonville neighbors direct
railroad communication to Columbus,
north, and to Cincinnati south. Gentle
men connected with the enterprise inform
us that the building of the entire line is
fixed fact.
The location of JeffersonVille is not sur
passed ia point of beauty by any village
in the county, and in view of the advan-
tages to which we have referred, we re-
gard it not only as pleasant place for
homes, but favorable point for busi-
ness operations. - l
1 We called on a number of the business
men of the place, and without particular
izing as to business or individuals, we
found them all in good spirits, full of en-
ergy and hope.
By the way, what has become of our
correspondent, "BABY?" His jottings
from Jeffersonville, we know from ex-
pressions of friends there, are highly ap-
preciated by them as well as ourselves
and the readers of the HERALD generally.
Let us hear more from the 'BABY.''

The face of the country between this
and Jeffersonville is undulating, and, at
this writing, presents a picturesque ap-
pearance. We have never seen greater
acreage of wheat on the ground befores
and although not of as vigorous growth
as we have seen it at this season of the
year. yet it looks web, stands well on the
ground and promises an abundant crop.
Passing through the country, the eye is
greeted with hundreds of fields of beau
tiful green wheat, orchards in full bloom
and broad acres of green pastures; and
already plowed lands are spread out be-
fore the view of the passer-by, all COM
bined together, present a. picture truly
rich and beautiful landscape view that
does ones soul good to look upon, after a
long and dreary winter. a
