sG~ To "BusneSs Inquirer Dear
sir, you can ascertain the Farmer and
Mechanics circulation by inquirlng at
the p~ostofice We have to pay two
cents a pound on all papers sent to sub
scribers outside of Wake county. Our
postage bill for last month paid yester
day was $50. The present month
will considerably exceed that sum, as
the month Of August is, perhaps, the
''dullest' in the newspaper year. o.
course, our postage bill does not include
the two or three hundred copies taken
In Wake county Sixteen postoficesl
and in the city ofRaleigh, one hundred
and thirty or forty in number.

VISITING FRIENDS. 1t was a real
pleasure to meet a large number of
friends from different parts of the State
during the past week. Among them,
Mai. n. A. Gregory, Associate Editor
Of the 7~orchhght, and a true man. He
makes a good paper, while Bro. Davis
makes a good public Administrator,
and has just become a grand papa
With the Major came Mr.. John T.
Britt, former proprietor of the Free
Lance. He has bought the Torchlight
Job Office, and being an experienced
newspaper man, is prepared to do good
work.-Geo. Allen, Esq, Of New
bern. brings a good account of Eastern
Carolina. The whole Coast Region
from Craven to Currituck has been
blessed with fine crops both this year,
and last; the report from the Sound
counties being particularly good. MIR.
Allen says the Railroad controversy has
aroused deep interest in his section :;
and has done much to open the eyes of
the people to the true state of the
status. He remarked incidentally that
MIR. Best would like the Newbern peo-
pie to give him $40, 900 to $50, 600, in
long running bonds, to erect nam
moth Railroad shops at that point. -
DR.. A. b. Chaplin, of Chatham, is very
kind In remembering the Farmer and
Mechanic when be comes to town with
his weekly wagon load of apples. He
will shortly bring one hundred bushels
of Siberian crab-apples which are not
bitter like the common crab, but ex-
! cellent for preserves. -. r.
Brown, Esq, a we'll known merchant of
Earpsboro, and Mr.. JAS. Bum gave
US a call on Monday; the kind that
are always welcome. -Mr. Kemp
Plummer Aston, Jr., also called
being In town to arrange for send
ing his patent Opener, Lister. and
Guano Distributor to the Atlanta
Exposition. We examined the draw
ing and have no doubt the machine will
DO as he says, /. e. save the labor OF

to Gov. Vances's letter of Sept. 9th. 1t
is very adroit, sharp and personal. But
does not give that more interesting doc

Ia some aspects the Railroad contro-
versy is very unfortunate. But 1t vii
at least inform, and arouse, the people.
1t ought to call forth an admission from
many friends of Gov. Vance aud Gov
Jarvis that they were wrong when they
abused the Furmer and Aechanic, last
fall and winter, for de%nouncing the
Railroad scheming and trading which
produced the present trouble.
