Nothing Is more common. when business
grows dull after the holidays. for mer-
chants, manufacturers and others to seek
a reduction Of expenses by Withdrawing
their advertising patronage from the
newspapers This, however. IS very
short-sig hted policy. 1t is almost ike
takiug in the sign board from ones store
door or hiding ones light under bushel'
Human nature is curious couglomera-
ton of motives and actions; and when a
man sees a dealer look ing gloomy, hears
him talking dis coUragingly, and finds him
dispensing with the ordinary signs of
thrift, he is apt to transfer his custom 10
more prosperous looking neighbor, pref
ty much on the principle that the world
focks 10 the rising and shuns the sinking
enterprise. Don't cease Advertising

Prorreus in Cotton Planting.


General B. S. Ricks, one Of the
wealthiest planters on the YaEoo
river, is going extensively into the
production Of long staple cotton, He
has a quantity Of the Cobweb variety.
which he thinks will bring a staple
worth from 20 to 30 cents a pound.
We trust that General Kicks will
be successful. There must be prog
ress in cotton planting, and in the
management Of agricultural interests
10 this portion of the country or cou.
tinued hard times aud poverty. 1t IS
useless to deny the fact that cotton
raising in this portion of the country
is a long ways behind the scientific,
economic tillage OF the soil in Europe,
the North and even in the older South
ern States. We hear planters soy we
failed this year,and are nearly ruined"
and before the winter is over there will
be universal borrowing Of money
by them. For years We have heard
the same cry, except froma few. The
season was either too wet or too dry,
or somehow the cotton did not yield
we'll. Il cannot BE- denied that cotton
is a hard crop TO raise, house and pre-
pare for market, bat good planter
rarely ever fail. The few exceptions
we refer to above have made large for
tunes planting, while others complain
oil the seasons, this thing aud that,
There was a variety Of cotton tha
would plant iselt, cultivate itself
i g'thsr Itself and prepare itself 70
