THE notice of the death of Mr..
Robert Ferguson, which appeared
in our columns last week will cause
some of our older readers to call to
mind certain events of thirty or
thirty-five years ago. AT that time
Jesse b. and John Ferguson were
in the zenith of their glory, and
probably the most popular preach
ers that were ever in Southern Ken
lucky. They were both warm adj
vOcates of the Current Reformation,
and succeeded in winning hundreds
to that faith. Jesse, the most elO-
quent of the two, after preaching
for time abandoned the ministry,
and died a few years since at Nash
vile, Tenn. John, who was more
logical, preached for number of
years, but finally quit preaching
and severed his connection with
the church. lie is still living, and
resides near Paducah, Ky.
We are glad to learn, just as we
pen this article, that John Ferguson
has reunited with the Christian
church, at Paducah. May his last
days be his brightest and happiest.

Some Good O0n'tS.
CINCINNATI Farming World.

Don't get into debt when you cannot
see your way out again; when you
owe, pay as fast as you can, and prompt
ly.
Don't enlarge your farm, when half
of what you now own Is not cultlvat-
cd
Don't borrow if you own more land
than you can till well. If you are in
debt and need funds to make necessa-
ry improvements, sell part of your
farm and use the money to pay your
debts, and make improvements sys-
tematically rs your means permit.
Don't borrow money to build a
snowy house, when Il less pretentiOus
one would answer better, and never
lend money when you have undrained
or poOrly-tilled land to improve.
Don't speculate with other peoples
money, or even your own, unless you
see clearly that you will make n prof
it; and even then do not do it to the
neglect of your farming.
Don't mortgage your farm for
money to buy goods. Very few men
can enter the mercantile business
without training COR it, without becom-
ing bankrupt.
Don't buy fancy stock at fabulous
prices on the spur OF the moment, or
without knowing why you want it, and
how you are to make the Investment
profitable. .....
Don't keep poor stock when you can
keep good ut the same expense, and
with four times the profit.
Don't change your kind of farming,
because what you raise this year is low
priced; ten chances to one your crop
will be up next year, and that which is
up now will be down then.
Don't try to grow crops to which
your farm is not well adapted.
If you have good location don't sell
out, expecting to better it because you
are offered Il better price.
Don't exchange farms often, for by so
doing, YOU can execute no definite Sys-
tenn of improvement.
Don't begin to improve till you have
a general plan of what you wish to do;
to do so, would be like commencing to
get out timbers for house before you
know its length and breadth.

THE GOLD THAI WEARS.


We parted one eve at the garden gate,
When the dew was on the heather,
And promised my love to come back TO hel
Ere the pleasant autumn weather
That we twain might wed
When the leaves We're red,
And live and love together.
She cut me tress from her nut-brown hail
And kissed her lips OF cherry,
And gave her a ring of the old-tllne gold,
With a stone like the mountain berry
As clear ana blue,
As her eyes were true
Sweet eyes SO bright and merry.
ssrhe wealth of my love is all have
10 give YOU" size said In turning;
al he gold that wears-like the radiant star
In yonder blue vault buTningV
And took the trust
AS a lover must
Whose soul for love is yearning.
Fate kept us apart for many years,
And the blue sea rolled between us;
Tho 1 kissed each day the nut-broWn tres
And made fresh vows TO Venus
Till sought my bride;
And fate deficd,
That tailed from love TO wean us.
found my love at the garden gate
When the dew was on the heather,
And we twain were wed al the llllle klfk
In the pleasant autumn weather.
Anu the gold that wears
Now sOoInes my cares,
AS we live and love together.

The Governors duties are such rs to
render it peculiarly necessary for him
to be informed as to the condition OF
the people, and the industrial enter
prises and interests of the State. And
especially is it his duty to be informed
as to the way in which the laws are
executed, and the extent to which
crime is perpetrated. He is the chief
executive officer of the State. In view
of the superior opportunities enjoyed
by him of obtaining information, and
his presumed judgement in weighingit
and understanding its bearing upon
the interests of the State with possibly
other reasons, he is required to pre-
pare messages conveying information
and recommendation of policy to the
Legislative branch of the government.
In recognition of the same facts, if re-
liable information were desired as to
the condition of affairs in any State,
by the general government, inquiry
would be made of the Governor, and
indeed it is no uncommon thing for
the General Assembly to ask informa.
ton ut his hands in addition to his
messages.
In view of these facts, it is peculiar.
ly gratifying to read the statements Of
Gov. st. John, of Kansas, rs to the
happy and prosperous condition OF his
commonwealth under the protection
of prohibition. "Our population" he
says, ais increasing in all portions of the
State, except within the walls of the
penitentiary. The people have paid
up their taxes more closely than for
previous years. Kansas was never
more prosperous, and the temperance
people are exceedingly well satisfied
with prohibition, and the whiskey
ring ought to be if all it causes to be
published about its failure in this State

The Southern CuLttHator.

We have received the June num-
Der Of the Southern CultiVatOr and
Dixie Farmer, and AS usual it is full
of interesting reading matter for
farmers and their families. 4 COIN
parisOn of this sterling journal with
similar publications, North and
South, shows decidedly in favor OF
the Cultivator and Farmer. In
quantity the latter has about one
half more than any other and every
article bears the impress of care in
selection or thought III preparation.
Every number of the CultivatOr has
letter from Bill Arp, prepared
exclusively for it. Special atten-
ton is given to the interests of
"PatrOns of Husbandry," the Sec
rotary of the State Grange being
employed to write in the interest OF
that order. Our opinion is that il
the CultivatOr finds its way into
the farmers home, it will always
be welcomed visitor.
Messrs. Jas. 2. Harrison & Co.,
Atlanta, Ga, publish it for the sum
of $50 per annum.

Election Returning Board.
American Register.

One of the nefariOus results of the
reconstruction policy and despotiC
rule of the Southern States by the
Republican party, which we have
been reviewing heretofore, was the
election returning boards to enable
Republican partisans to change and
control the results of the elections OF
the people in those States. This
was illustrated in the Presidential
election of 1876. There is not a
well-informed and fair-minded man
in the United States probably, OF
any POLITICAL party, who does not
know the fact that Samuel j. Til
den was fairly and certainly elected
President by a majority Of The votes
of the people at that election. And
vet, by political management and
strategen, the defeated Republican
ticket was declared to be elected,
and Hayes inaugurated us President.
This was an overthrow of popular
Government and IL crime against
the magesty of the people. When
and how can this great wrong be
remedied, and the supremacy OF
the people Vindicated This is a
great living issue before the Ameri-
can people. The transaction, it is
true, is in the past, but the record
and the precedent are i'm the pres
ent.

OF course it is not cOntended by the
friends of temperance that the prohi-
bition law of Kansas is not violated
and in some of the large towns such
extraordinary efforts may be made by
the whiskey ring, to corrupt officials
and secure violations of the law as to
greatly interfere with it, but such eN-
traordinary efforts cannotpermeate the
State at large, nor will they last long
anywhere. In the State of Kansas, cx-
cepting large towns, We arc told by
Prof. Geo NJ. Stearns, of Washburne
College, that prohibition is marked
success. OF course the greatest cry
will be made over those points Mt
which the whiskey ring are cOncen-
trating their greatest efforts, but let it
bC remembered that such places are
rs nothing almost when compared
with the whole State, and that they
will he overcome by the law rs the eff
forts Of the whiskey ring abate.

TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
Rev. j. II. GooDpAsrURE. Editor.
Prohibition.

In view of the approaching election
in Iowa on the prohibition constitu-
tional amendment, the brewers have
taken public action in which they de-
clare that they will never support any
man for Office who votes for said
amendment. OF course those who
seek to overthrow and destroy the
traffic from which they make money,
expect to encounter their opposition
but we think that they can well afford
to do it. We are glad that there is a
large number of the voters OF that, and
all States, who are not and never ex-
pect TO be, candidates for office. We
are glad also that there are some as
piring men who have the manhood TO
rise up and defy these intimidators,
and fight manfully for the right The
policy of those individuals and parties
who fear their influence is to stand
aloof and be careful to say nothing on
the one sideo the other. This means,
if it means anything, let the saloons
alone, let the traffic go on. But the
sentiment which is taking hold CT the
people in this State, as well as else
where, is destined to overcome this
non-intervention policy, and lead to
the PRONUNCIATION of a firm and we'll
defined policy on the question by both
of the parties of the State. We don't
look for the work to be accomplished
by another party, but it will in that
way be forced to an issue, when one
or the other of the present parties will
shoulder itand got victory whit. We
don't need saloons. We don't need an
organized clan of saloOn-keepers in
the State to intimidate civil officers
and electors, and violate the laws of
the State. Hon ]. F. Wilson, United
States Senator from Iowa, in a recent
address, says:
@There never has been a law of re-
straint or regulation of the traffic pro-
posed or enacted which has not met
the same kind Of opposition that con-
fronts the prohibitOry amendment i'll
this State. The keepers of saloons are
the authoritative interpreters of the
purposes of the men who oppose such
laws. There has been no law from
Maine to Kansas imposing restraint
on the liquor traffic that they have
not opposed and resolutely and con-
tinuously violated. They are organ
lied viOlators of the law. The saloon
system is the center around which all
of the forces revolve that put Mt def
ance the better public sentiment OF
the country relative to the liquor traf-
fic. No law which stops short of cut
ting out by the roots the saloon sys-
tenn can be effective in suppressing
the evils of intemperance to any con-
siderable degree. That system is the
cntrcnched camp of traffic in intOxica-
ting liquors. 1t is a closely knit or
ganization which threatens candidates
for nominations, candidates for Offices
voters and communities, and intimi-
dates witnesses, grand juries, prOsecu-
tors and judges. 1t turns the very
means provided by law for its restraint
into instrumentalities for the promo
ton of its unlawful purposes"

4 wholesale wliiskey dealer doing
business in Kansas City, Mo-, who had
depended mainly heretofore on the

made an assignment, saying that the
effect of prohibition in Kansas had
forced him into bankruptcy. We are
not surprised to find such laxety of
conscience rs to lead the whiskey
trafIicers to claim that prohibition
don't prohibit when it is plausible
and will help them, but we think that
common sense ought, in the face of
such facts as are witnessed in Kansas
and reported by her Governor, to see
that this is not only false, but silly
