Mime NovgOrod Fair.

The great market of the Eastern world
has been held at this junction of the Volga
and Okla River in Russia, every summer for
hundreds of years. Here the nations of
Europe and Asia meet with their products
for trade. Cossack, Chinese, Turk, and
Persian meet the German and the Greek
with every variety of merchandise that
mankind employs, from sapphircs to grid
irons, tea, opium, fur, food, tools, and fra
brics and last but not least, medicines. J.
C. Aver & Co.'S celebrated remidies from
America were displayed in an elegant
Bazaar, where the Doctor himself might be
seen. They are known and taken on steppes
of Asia as well as on the Prairies of the
West, and on are an effectual antidote for
the diseases that prevail in the yaourts OF
the North as well as the huts and cabins OF
the Western continent.-Lincoln (Ill.) Times

Sells Brothers Worlds Fair Of W Onders

1t is said that what everybody says
be true" and as everybody that has
seen the magnificent menagerie and
circus, which will exhibit at Bolivar
on Friday November 9th, says it is by
far the largest and the best in the
country, it must certainly be. In fact
it furnishes editorial proofs of this be-
yOnd contradiction. Among its ex-
elusive special features-not to men
ton the most wild animals ever con-
gregated, and the largest assemblagc
of greatest circus performers don't
forget the largest herd of elephants
the grandest, finest and most sensa-
tional free street parade; the only pair
of iull-grown, living Hippopotami
the only Monster Arctic aquarium; the
only drove of six performing Colorado
cattle; the Willis Cobb Miniature cir
Gus; the only King Sarbro's Royal
japanese Circus; the only genuine
Electric Light and Motor the only
tribe of Ute chiefs aud Braves. Fur,
thermore, do not forget that it has
abolished all peddling under its tents
all shysters upon its grounds, and rents
no privileges, but is, in every depart,
ment of its vast aggregation, managed
4
in person by its popular proprietors.

ED. BULLETIN: Being Il subscriber
tc your good paper, a constant and
pleased reader, and having many
friends in old Iardeman who would
l think, be pleased to hear some
thing of this country-what We are
doing, what we have made in the
way of crops, what we live on, etc.
L beg you to give me space in youi
columns for IL short communication.
In this part of TeXas-On the
BrazOs, forty miles from Fort Worth
we have made very fine crops OF
cotton, corn and oa:s; corn is indeed
good; some in this county have made
Is bushels to the acre; it is cheap in
consequently cents per bushel.
Our cotton was injured by the boil
worm, but is still good, ranging al
the way from one-third to bale to
the acre. do believe that the i'm.
preston abroad is that the cotton
crop of Texas this year is failure.
Be pleased, sir, to let our friends
know that this is by no means the
case, and that the question which is
exercising the minds of most farmers
in this part is not chow much will ]
maker" but chow can 1 get itspicked
out" Some are giving $1.25 per hun
dred for picking. Our stock of al
kinds are doing magnificently, cattle
fat. We have had plenty of rain, con
sequence, plenty of the finest grass in
short, we have a decided agricultural
"boOm."
Now to ali who think ofever coming
to this great empire of the West, let
me say: you perhaps will never see
a better time to come than this fall;
for the following reason, corn and
wheat are plenty and cheap. Cattle
and hogs fat, though hogs are scarce.
Laborcrs Of all kinds in &c nan1,
Lands cheap ranging from one to three
dollars per acre. So, l think l may
say come, but don't come thinking that
you are going to an Eden, for, altho
this comes near being "'the place where
the sugar was spill" yet my observa-
ton leads me to believe that those sue
coed best who work, yes, actually and
perseveringIy work. Youmay have to
rent a few years; you need not do so
long, depending entirety upon how
you work, and how you manage; if you
have money you may buy improved
lands that will make bale of cotton
or fifty bushels of corn to the acre, for
five or six dollars per acre.
Some little sickness is prevailing in
this Immediate neighborhood though
nothing serious; this is Il well watered
healthy country. Address me al

Interesting for American Cotton
Growers.

A grave change for the worse seems
coming over the cultivation of cotton,
in India. The decrease in the amount
of land under cultivation appears to
have gone on since 1875 at a rate APP
pICa, hing the omInous amount Of p
million acres per year up to 1878; and
there Is no reason to suppose that the
rate has been slower since, and as there
the produce per acre had also decreas-
ed TO the extent of Is per cent, and
rs le;Ond all this the price had
declined Is per cent, there is some
justification for those who say that un-
less active steps are taken the cotton
cultivation of India must die out.
Far-seeing men gave the cotton consul
mers of England timely warning of the
American Civil War, and its effects
upon their industry; but the policy of
this country as directed by its ablest
free traders discOuntenanced any in
terferance with the operation of the
laws of supply and uemand, and the
various adverse agencies ut work cul-
minated in the cotton famine. The
consequences were so widespread and
30 disastrous that even the strictest
political economists of the day quailed
before them, and some attempt was
even made TO induce the government
of India to sanction measures with
the object eff extending the area under
growth, and of regulating the price o.
the cotton. It is to be hoped thai
wiser counsels will prevail, and suita
bic aid he given to the poorer cottOr
growers Of India before it Is too late
India is far off, and. painful as it is
gress ignorance prevails as to its af
fairs, and consequently they excit,
but little interest here, except wher
war threatens to affect the dividend
derived from Indian investments
Still It may be hoped that if our pee
pc learn that the cotton-growing dis
trIcts 4 India are equal in extent t.
fve-sixths of the cultivutable land O
Ireland, they may think the Interest,"
of It's much-enduring population wer
thy Of at least as much care at tn,
hands of our rulers as the interests o
the far inferior numbers in ireland
who are now receiving so much at
tention.- English Paper,
