Neighbor Jones.
From the Atlanta Constitution

I'm thinking, wife, Of neighbor JONES' 'he
man with the stalwart arm
ue livesin peace and plenty on q forty-acre
farm;
When men are all around us, with hearts ana
hands a-sore,
Who own two hundred acres, and still are
wanting more.
house;
He has loving wife within, ms quiet ~ ii
mouse;
His children play around the door, tlieii i"''-
er's heart TO charm,
Looking just as neat and tidy as the tldS 'i'-
tie farm.
No weeds are in the corn-field, no thlsties IN
the oats;
The horses show good keeping by their me
and glossy coats;
The cows within the meadow, resting 'heath
the beechen shade,
Learn all their gentle manners from gentle
milking-maid.
Within the field on Saturday he leaves no
Graded grain
To be gathered on the morrow, for fear OF
coming RAIN;
He lives in Joy and gladness, and happy are
his days;
He keeps the Sabbath holy; his children
learn mis- ways.
He never had lawsuit to take him to the
town,
For the very simple reason there are no
fences down;
The bar-roon in the village for him has not
a charm;
can always find my neighbor on his forty
acre farm.
His acres are so few, that he plows them
very deep,
'Tis his own hands that turn the sod, It's his
own hands that reap;
He has a place for every thing, and every
thing in its place,
The sunshine smiles upon his fields, content
ment on his face.
May we not learn lesson, wife, from the
prudent neighbor Jones,
And not sigh for what we haven't got-give
vent to signs and groans?
The rich aren't always happy, nor free from
lifes alarm;
But bleSt are those who live content, though
small may be their farm.

Shipping Butter to Market.

1t is an acknowledged fact that no
quality in dairy goods has a greater
tendency toward securing a high
and remunerative price than a neat
and attractive appearance. This is
of prime Importance. Butter
really belongs to the aesthetic
branch of housekeeping, and if it
does not present an appetizing and
pleasing appearance it loses its
most attractive characteristic.
Above all things, in sending butter
to market farmers, should study to
please, and there are no harder
people in the world to please than
those who pay the highest prices
for butter. They belong to a class
of society who not only can afford
to criticise, but they seem to enjoy
it, The butter is either too fresh or
salt, too light or too deep colored !;
tastes of the cow, churn, buttermilk
or some other foreign substance,
that the taste or the imagination of
these people associate with it. We
have been led to these remarks by
having our attention called to tub
Of butter received by commission
house in this city over the surface
Of the butter in the tub was pale,
frosty scum, that, upon investiga-
ton, proved to be starch out of a
new piece Of muslin that had been
laid over the butter. The trouble
here all arose from the dairyman
neglecting to thoroughly wash all
the starch out of the cloth before
he put it over the butter. This
starch did not affect the taste of the
butter, nor injure it's keeping
quality; but, like many other little
points, it went to make up the sum
of excellence and greatly affected
the sale of the goods. Hints like
this should not, and never will, be
lost on dairymen who keep an eve
to improvement in their trade

SEVERE Loss.-Hon. Chas. J.
Faulkner sustained quite a severe
loss this week, in the death of that
fine two year old Attorney Bull,
which took the first premium at
our last annual Fair; and also on
the same day in the death of two
year old Attorney heifer, which he
valued highly. These animals had
been well wintered, and showed no
symptoms of disease until the dav
before they died 1t is to be hoped
that these losses have had no con-
nection with any disease that is
likely to spread among our cattle.

A Word With Farmers.

uOnc your WOTk lot Illc Jay, pun VI
your team, fed the pigs, and have
enjoyed your supper, as only farm
ers can enjoy supper-we say,
now that you are at leisure to talk
and listen, around the freest and
happiest home-circle in the world,
we want to have just a little chat
with you. We say brother farmer,
because we feel that we have a
right to claim fraternal relations.
Born and reared on farm, and
having the care and enjoyment of
it's management for years after ar
irving at manhood, farm-life be-
came very part of our nature,
insomuch that our hearts desires
and longings go out contlnu-
ously into the country, for that
quiet independence and real home
comfort that is nowhere found as
with the tiller of the soil.
But we don't want to theorize or
philosopher this evening wesimp-
ly want little common-sense chat.
We want to ask you to take a bust
ness look at the FREEMAN, while we
talk a little about what it is, and
what it proposes. We take it that
YOU have of late been pretty well
surfeited with party politics as
such, and so we'll have none Of
that. The FREEMAN will give the
news of general interest, both secu-
lar and religious; will give each
week the best dish of literary and
news hash, we can gather from our
exchanges; will have department
specially for Home Folks, young
and old, and Farmers Depar:m't J;
with the cause of Temperance and
Morality kept prominently in view
in every department. 1t is our pur-
pose and plan to make the FREEMAN
lust such readable, entertaining
and profitable newspaper as the far
mers will like to have come into
their families.
There is no class of citizens who
pay taxes and help to bear the bur
dens of governments promptly and
cheerfully as farmers, and yet we
know they are sufficiently alive to
self-interest, to actively favor what
ever measures promise to lessen
their taxes, and especially so if the
measures proposed will not only re-
duce the rate of taxation, but prove
vastly beneficial, socially and NOR
ally, to the public at large. Among
other things, the FREEMAN proposes
to show and to prove conclusively
to the farmers of Wood county, and
OF every other county in the State
where the Liquor Traffic is legal
lied, that it materially affects the
purse of every owner of farm prop
erty; that it largely increases, and
in many instances doubles the rate
of taxation. We are having pre-
pared and will from week to week
furnish facts and statistics to prove
to you, Wood county farmers, how
much the $4,000 spent annually
for drinks in Parkersburg costs you,
While our city government is get
ting from $4,000 to 81, 900 year out
of the horrible business, we will
give you the figures, showing how
many thousands of dollars you are
annually losing by it. We will con-
clusively show that, while the cities
and towns are collecting few pal
try dollars as the bloody price of
drunken brawls and fights, de-
bauchery and crime, it is the farm
ers who pay the bulk of all the
enormous costs directly engendered
by the traffic.

The Martinsburg independent is
wide awake to the real interests of
the Eastern section Of the State.
Among many good things last week
it says:
"The Wool Growers Association
of Berkeley county have decided to
hold sheep show sometime in
May. This is an excellent idea,
and should receive the support and
encouragement if every farmer in
the county, whether directly en-
gagged in sheep raising or not.
Such an exhibition cannot fail to
encourage and give an impetus to
the sheep industry in this county,
and at the same time encourage
and stimulate a desire on the part
of farmers to engage in the raising
of other kinds of fine stock. Let
the proposed sheep exhibition be
made success, and let all lend their
aid in helping to make it SO.

tributor:

ty can afford. ]. M. Vanmetre, Sr,
putwith him during Octobernearly
five hundred improved American
Merino Sheep. During January,
Mr.. V. took away few, leaving
upwards of four hundred. They
have passed through the winter
without the loss of any, with the
exception of two that were killedby
accident. These sheep seem to be
very hardy, as they have had but
little shelter; Mr.. V. has kept one
thousand of long woods. The loss of
the long woods has been four times
as great as that of the merinos.
