TOBACCO.

The condition of tobacco at the
date of the returns to this depart
ment was somewhat lower than at
this time last year. In the norl n
and middle Atlantic States the crop
was reported as better than last
year. In Kentucky, Tennessee
and Missouri, it was suffering from
drought. In Missouri it is report
ed better than last year. The gen
eral average condition of corn Aug.
LIST, is II; a very considerable de-
cline since last month, when it
stood at 80. In August, 1880 the
condition was So, which, however,
was exceptionally high. The At
lantic coast States make a showing
somewhat better than the general
average, except in South Carolina
where excessive drought has cut
down the figures to Al. Louisiana
and Texas are next lowest of the
coast States from the same cause,
reporting 81 and 46 spectively.
Tennessee is the lowest of the inte-
rior States, its average falling to 50.
In the great cOrn-growing regions
the highest reports are 90 in Wis
consin and 81 in Nebraska and the

FROM BRICK ERS.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Boreas has given us
some Of his best blows lately. Can't
say that we altogether like the ia
miliar way he has of blowing our
hats off, and cloaks away.
We advise the good people of
Jonesboro to keep a sharp lookout
when DR.. Smith is around, for we are
reliably informed that he brought
home a fowl in his overcoat pocket a
few evenings ago that did not belong
to him, and when attacked by his
loving spouse about It, he declared
most vehemently that she knew
nothing at all about the lowell W.
are glad to know that his wife lee
tured him soundly on the subject of
theft. The last we heard from the
DR.. he was tying to devise tn best
means by which he could slip that
towel back without detection
Mr.. William Hoss has heen aflic-
ted with rheumatism ever since the
protracted meetings began in this
neighborhood. Isn't it remarkable
that the simple announcement of a
series of meetings will affect any one?
Will some NJ. d. please account for
it, and give us light on the subject,
at the same time suggest a remedy
for uncle Billy.
Mr. Than Baily has been conduc-
ting a series of meetings at Laurel
Hill. He is a representative of the
Free Will denomination. We I'M
derstand some of the good Missionary
Baptists, and also some Methodists
have joined his ranks. l.. G. Hoss
among the number Joined, and is
going to 'start OUT to preaching
shortly.
The heirs of the Edward West
estate, we are sorry to say, have gone
to law. We think an especial Court
ought to be organized for the benefit
of Brickers Republics she has been
assisting in keeping up lawyers for SO
long. Hadn't our Representative
better introduce a Bill to that eff
feet?
How we should have enjoyed the
affecting scene between the Ed. of the
Journal, and one of our worthy cit
liens and son, I'VE the enormous

READ AN HOUR A DAY.

An English paper tells of a lad
who, at the age of fourteen, was APP
prenticed TO a soap-boiler. One Of
his resolutions was to read an hour
a day, or at least at that rate, and
he had an old silver watch, left him
by his uncle, which he timed his
reading by. He stayed seven years
with his master, and said that when
he was twenty-one he knew as much
as his young sire did. Now let us
see how much time he had to read
in seven years, at the rate of an
hour a day. 1t would be 2,5 5
hours, which, at the rate of eight
reading hours each day, would be
forty-nye weeks, equal to twelve
months,-nearly a years reading.
That time, spent in treasuring up
useful knowledge, would pile a very
store. Surely It is worth trying for.
Try what you can do. Begin now.
In after years you will look back
upon the task as the most pleasant
and profitable you ever performed.
