What A Lady says OF that Wonder
ful Female Remedy, McElree's

There is hardly mail bag that does
not contain letters to the Chattanooga
Medicine Company endorsing Nc
Elree's Wine of Cardui. There GER
tainly must be some merit in the reme-
dy or every one who tries it would not
recommend it. Those who take the
trouble to 60 to the office of the Chat.

be convinced that the remedy is no
humbug. They have stacks of testi-
monials and from prominent physicians
and well known citizens who have
tried McElree's Wine of Cardui. The
following letter was received yesterday
from lady in Mississippi, who desires
her name withheld, ifit is given pub
licity:

Sweet Potatoes.

Some time ago We offered premium
of one years subscription to the STAND
ARD to the person who might present
to us the largest sweet potato by the
10th of November. Up to the 10th
we have received six competitors, viz:
R. D. Webb's potato Il pounds.
B. F. Hardcastle, 81 pounds.
j, j. Cunningham, 5 pounds.
Geo. Mayo, pounds.
Finley Pennebaker, 5 pounds 10 OF.
John NJ. Drake, 81.
Mr.. Webb's potatOe when dug
weighed pounds 10 ounces, and Mr..
brakes 8 pounds and Is ounces when
first dug. Mr., Drake having the
largest potato thus far received is
awarded the premium.
We will state that Mr.. Drake SAYS
he has grown the finest crop of potatoes
he has ever made. His potatoes are
large. He says he can get a wagon
load Of 80 bushels that will average
pounds each. Who can beat it ? This
is only another proof that Warren
county soil, when properly prepared
and well MANFRED, will produce fine
vegetables.

What Must be DOneG

Eds. Standard There seems to be
a growing disposition in the minds of
the most spirited and ambitious young
men of our country to leave the farm
and engage in all other branches of
business, which, if not dispelled, must
ultimately reduce the honored yeoman-
ny of our country to a very low stand
ard. What must be done2 Columns,
yea, volumes, have been written to in.
duce these young men to stay on the
farm, but it has only increased the ten
dency to leave it. Lawyers, doctors,
politicians and other professional men
paint in glowing colors the nobility,
happiness and independence of the
farmers life. They represent the far
mer as being intelligent, moral, indus
trious, healthy and happy. They speak
with emphasis of the honesty of the
yeomanry, and "the bulwarks of the
nations destinies," the "sinews of the
land" the "hardy sons Of toll" and
the "coarse home-spun fabrics that
cover his Frame" They tell us how
rainy days and winter evenings may be
utilized by repairing hoes, rakes, shov-
els, harness, etc., and urge the necessity
of saving every moment. They tell
us of failures, misfortunes and woeful-
ness of the professional man, and wind
up with, "By the sweat of thy brow
shalt thou eat bread"
But these admonitions, besides CON-
ing from the wrong source to be appre-
ciated by farmers sons, ignore the feel
ings, the hopes, the desires, the pride
and the self-love which beat as'high in
the bosoms OF the farmers sons as IN
that of the ablest politician that ever
graced the halls of the capitol at Wash
ington. In order to prevent this leav-
ing of the farm, the farm must be
made more attractive. There must be
less labor and more thinking. The far
mers son, in common with all humanity,
desires to ENJOY life, and he must have
some privileges and some time for think.
ing. 1t is not the amount of labor
done but the quality which should be
improved by the farmer.

To Keep Sweet Potatoes.

A correspondent from Dibrell wishes
to know how to keep sweet potatoes.
The following is good plan:
Dig carefully so as not to break or
mar, put in shed, and cover at night;
if cold cover well. Leave two weeks
or more to sweat; then pick over care
fully and stow in barrels or boxes in
some dry warm place. Put a layer of
potatoes and layer of paper or chaff.
Chat is apt to keep them too warm,
but if the place of storage is dry and
cool it will do. During cold snaps an
old quilt must be thrown over them.
A log chamber over the fire. place is a
good place to keep them. If in the
cellar the barrels must be foot or
more from the ground. At planting
time take out and pick over and re-
pack and put in smokehouse and you
can have potatoes the year round.

A Fine Orchard.

On Saturday last we visited an or.
chard owned by our genial and clever
friend N. B. Stubblefeld. 1t is situa.
ted about five miles southeast of Nc
Minnville. on the side of Cumberland
mountain, We saw there the finest lot
of Limbertwigs that we have ever seen
in Warren county. They were large,
smooth, and so sound that they look as
if they will keep till next June. We
brought load home, and expect to be
able to treat our friends on nice apples
until June apples make their appear
ance in 1883.
There must be three Or four thousand
bushels in the orchard, and we advise
all those who wish to provide them
selves with real 'sxury for the next
six months, togi friend "Pole" call.

MCTyre Grass.

The Townsville Enterprise recon-
mends this grass, named after a citizen of
Thomas county, who appears to have sue
cessfully tried it. The Enterprise says !:
II is one Of the numerous species of Brazilian
grasses, and has heen grown ny d.. AsTyrs for
several years He considers it the finest and
best of all the grasses for green soiling or hay
making 1t grows well on good ground and
yields most abundantly. Horses, cattle and
hogs will fatten on it, and relish it much more
than they do crab or crow-foot grass II grows
readily after being transplanted in favorable
weather, and can be cut too or three times dur
ing the season. DR. McTyre is close observer
and has given much time and study to the
growth of the grasses. and he considers this by
far the best of any of thenative or foreign vari-
cites. We saw it growing last year ON his place
and 1t is indeed beautiful sight to see 1t when
at its best A few feet square will suffice to cut
a wagon load, and being next to the sugar cane
in saccharine matter, it is greedlly devoured by
all kinds of stock. Last year the Doctor kept
his horses fat after crops were laid by upon this
grass alone. We would advise our farmers TO
give this grass trial. A small plat of ground,
well fertilized, would furnish large quantity of
excellent feed. Our Guinea and Jersey cow
men ought by all means to have patch the
McTyre grass.

Mr.. w. o. Ames, General Freight and
Passenger Agent of the Florida Central
and Jacksonville, Pensacola and Mobile
Railroads, called at the FLoRrD1AN Office
yesterday, and gave us the following
rates for fertilizers per ton, in carload
lots, from Jacksonville to points named
To Lake City, 81; Ellaville, 81. Mad
ison, e1.9o; Monticello, $3.50; Tallahas
see, tl.s5; Quincy, tl.4O.
These rates are indeed very low and
will doubtless be properly appreciated by
the people along the line of road. This
is matter in which the people and the
railroads are mutually interested. These
favorable freight rates will enable farmers
to fertilize very literally, and thus produce
larger crops, which will give the railroads
more freight to transport.
To avail themselves of these low rates,
farmers who wish to buy in small quaint
ties can club together and make up car
load lots before ordering.
The present management are revising
their rates and classification, and will
soon issue new and very favorable
schedule of freight rates.

where the colored man is in the majority,
and votes the Publican ticket at the
beck of his white leader. The non-tax-
payers make the city government, and the
Taxpayers support it.
The Republican strongholds :" are
not, we are sorry to say, restricted to
Fernandina and Pensacola. When the
time comes for change in the mode of
