The Reynolds Land Sale.

The sale of the Reynolds farm
near Reynolds station came of
last Thursday, as had been adver-
tised in the CITIZEN for three weeks
previous. 1t continued to rain
throughout the day and there
would probably have been twice the
number of people present had the
weather been more favorable. The
home tract containing 1873 acres
was bought by Mrs. S. H. Smith Of
Mississippi at $25 per acre, but was
afterwards taken off her hands by
her brother, Mr.. R. c. Reynolds.
Mr.. Thos. Brandon bought a tract

r. c. Reynolds and others bought
l25 acres at $I2 per acre, and the
fourth tract containing l35 acres
was purchased by Mr. Oscar Aber-
nathy. The notes will probably all
be made this week and the sales
confirmed in court next Monday.

The poor people of Giles county
will need more attention than ever
before this year. The CITIZEN will
not lend itself to the schemes of
some 70 CRY Famine! Famine!'
and thus run up the prips Of corn
so that poor men cannot buy it.
The poorer classes are human be
ings as well as the richer ones, aud
their wives and children need to
eat as much as those who have
corn to sell. 1t is disgrace to the
country that men can be found
who will utter these doleful lamen-
tations for the purpose Of grinding
the poor and needy by making corn
so high they cannot buy enough of
it. These are plain matters and
the attempt is being made in face
of facts that prove their statements
false Taken altogether, Giles will
have enough, used Sparingly aud
economically, To keep her people
from want. Think, man, before
you damage your people and county
by falling in with these spectators
upon the sutferIngs and wants OF
the poor people of Giles county.
II they are allowed to pursue their
course unmolested they will dry up
trade. throw the people into dis
pair, every man will hold on to
what he has for fear he will not get
more, prices will run beyond the
poor mans plrse, and thus they
will bring on the very starvation
they now affect TO fear. They shall
not consummste their greedy pur-
poses so long as the CITIZEN eau
expose their schemes. The poor
people must live aud we beg these
long faced croAkers to let them live,

Mr.. r. j. Anderson of Brick
Church made 1000 bushels of corn
on fifty acres. We have heard oil
many such crops. Others will
make nothing, but if the croakers
will permit it. tsshe poor people OF
Giles may have q chance to live.
Nearly all the farmers wish to buy
corn, and why is it that some per
sons, wish to run up the price on
them, unless it is to speculate upon
the distresses of the people and
pile more upon the shoulders of the
poor men?
