clIHGnAN's NURSERIES.

These popular nurseries are situated just
one mile aud half West Of Homer. They
have long enjoyed n wide popularity
throughout North Louisiana aud Southern
Arkansas, and yearly the reputation of the
proprietor aud bis excellent varieties Of
fruits of all kinds is growing wider. Mr..
Clingman's knowledge of his business is
practical, having been gained by years Of
actual experience in the business. He
started here some years ago on small
scale, but by close -tudy Of his business
aud the wants Of the people and the char
acter of his fruits he has yearly extended
his business till it las reached its present
proportions. A few days since We went
ont for the purpose Of personally insPcc-
ting his nurseries. 1t would require more
space than We can ut present give TO the
subject Ia 90 into detailed account Of
what we saw. There were many varities
of many different kinds Of peaches, apples,
pears, plums, besides grapes, rose bushes,
evergrecns. and -hrubbery of all kinds. We
could not undertake TO give the ditfrrent
varieties IF his fruits, for We could not re-
member the names we're We 10 attempt the
task hut Judging from the specimens of
the fruits which we saw hanging from the
bonghs Of his trees and its fine flavor, We
conclude that no one will desire any finer
varieties Of fruit than Clingman is prepar-
ed to furnish. He has an orchard Of SOME
thing over four hundred trees and not
more than two trees are of the same kind
of fruit. This orchard he planted mainly
for the purpose Of testing the frnit, and
ia V have borne the test well. There is now
growing in the nursery large number OF
trees ready to be taken mp aud delivered
this t,ll and winter.
II strikes MS that there is ut least one
decided advantage in favor Of C1ingman' ;
nurseries, and that il, that his trees nie
acclimated and when taken up and trans
planted are much more likely to live than
those brought here from other climates.
lie warrants his trees to live where direc-
tions are carried ont and will make all
losses good; aud then the business Is a
home one and should it be necessary to call
on the proprietor to make good his con
tracts hr il readily accessible. Mr.. Cling
man has, by his energy and industry COM
binrd with good business qualifications,
and fair and honest dealing by the public,
built M large Nursery. II is something
the want of which has long been felt in
t,,is section. There is no longer an excuse
for the people of this country to he without
good orchards The trees can be had nj
home and there is no excuse to 90 abroad
or to deal with parties whose character
and responsibility are questions Of donbt.
We have always believed in and advocated
sustaining home institutions, and We trust
the country will give Mr.. ClinGinau pat
ronarc which will enable him to extend
his business still more.

Contrary to the expectations Of North
ern Republicans and the hopes Of the adj
ministration Misrepresentation does not
flourish in the South. The Northern jour
nails of the Republican persnation have
been informing their readers that the peo-
pie ofthe South had grown tired Of Demo
cratic rule and il WAS part Of the pro-
rramme of the Republican party to unite
with the sore heads and disappr rted office
hunters of the South and break mp the rule
Of the Democracy. But ~ far the pro-
