We have received the June number Of
the Sou tcr, Glltirdtor and Dirie Farmer, and
as usual it is full of interesting reading mat
ter for farmers and their families A COM
parison of this sterling journal with similar
publications, North and South, shows dcci.
dedly in its favor. Every number has n
letter from Bill Arp, prepared exclusively
for it. Special attention is given to the in
tereats of Patrons of Husbandry. Our
opinion is that if the Cultivator finds its
way into the farmers home, it will always
be a welcomed visitor. Jas. P. Harrison
& Co., Atlanta, Ga, publish it for $3.50 per
annum. It's clubbing rates with the INTEL
LIGENCER have been revised, and we now
send it for S1.40 to our subscribers.
The Grcenville News says that "Trav-
eller" Is authority for the statement that
more business is done on one side of Pen
dleton street in that city in day than in
the whole town" of Anderson, and argues
that therefore our acquisition of the through
line hos been Of no benefit to us. Bah !!
Those grapes are sour. We are not COM
planning that the through line is not bene-
fitting Anderson, and if we are satisfied
with its operations what right has our
Greenville friend to complain about our
failure to be benefited The Netps is COM
placent entirely in its possession of infor-
nation as to the relative business of the
two places, but that complacency prevented
our contemporary from noticing that the
"traveller" in question was only hoaxing
him by the dexterous use Of words, for
which travellers" are sometimes noted
It is true that the business OF one side of
Pendleton street is greater than the busi-
ness of the whole "town" of Anderson,
