Editor Democrat:
Being stimulated by the late con
tribuLions from this part, |, too, pro
pose shooting while the spot is up.
| wish TO remind our neighbor wri-
tiers that there are two sides to a
picture, and while VIC are treated
with elaborate communications on
the one side, it is just to hear the
other Dear Hope means no Rarm
OF course, but why should lie be
watching other folks blowing, and
that music. Now we are foolishly
fond OF the music and the-welI you
be careful, Hope, and think of that
word "dead beats" needn't come in
here for wife, none for EN- here.
Pity Mrs. Hope didn't find it cut
sooner, poor girl, you have our sym
PATTY.
And now the fedgling Jr., who
would have us believe that Drs. are
honorably bound to do ali they prom
Use. Why that's a sacred right Of
theirs to do as little as they choose.
And then Jr.. tells us of the peace
and.quietude on Cave, ''peace"-did
yon ever. Well, we can't define your
talk, but let's change the programme,
as the fellow said who was going to
be hung.
There are many Of US who want
emigrants to stop in here, and ! must
say, those who do write articles on
this subject utterly fail to state the
facts in detail, that is in a way TO be
fully understood by parties shat were
never in here.
While there Is an abundance Of
land here subject to entry, there are
some of which would
probably over balance the conyen
fence OF obtaining land cheap with
some Of the eastern people, and we
feel it our duty TO mention some OF
them in connection with the adyan-
tages. Please note, we do so with
all due Difference to the people Of
our community Education here is
sadly neglected indeed. We have
some people that are scarcely friend

bath schools, Or anything that would
elevate, ur Improve society.

TRUCK FARMING.

Many things are now in common
use by persons who never sara them
growing, and but few yearNago
had only heard of them. The pe<We
of each section cheaply share fNs
good things of all others. Knowing
the ready market there is for such
things, Northern men are buying the
previously unoccupied lands Of Flor
ida. and wonderful stories are told
of the profits on their crops of early
vegetables and their orange, lemon
and banana plantations. Eight years
ago Georgia planter was doing
such poor business raising cotton
that he valued his 5000 acres at 3d.
600. lie quit cotton and began to
cultivate cucumbers, peas, tomatoes
and melons. He soon found frac-
tional part Of his land yielding q
good return on a valuation OF SAU,
coo. In the same county $500 acres
are now devoted to melons alone,
and these and other lands devoted
to truck farming clear from $50 to
5000 per acre, and are found to be
greatly improved for raising oeca-
sional crops OF cotton much larger
than they formerly prodnced.-Post-
Dispatch.
The facts BET forth in this extract
are indubitably true, and yet because
an editor gathered and compiled
them, the farmers Of this country
would rather live on bacon and corn
bread, than to regulate their farm
ing operations by them. Editors
are ridiculed because they urge a
betfor method OF farming, and be
causc they want the people to live
handsomely The Georgia farmer

OF raising cotton, WAS only worth

overwhelmed by the fact, that when
used for truck farming, the same

The republicans in Kentucky are

THE cold weather last week, with
one exception, was without parallel
in the history Of this country, In
the northern states and as far south
as Tennessee and Missouri, there
was d heavy frost. In Missouri and
Tennessee fruit and vegetation gen
orally was not materially injured.
IL ONO, Indiana. Illinois and some
other border states, heavy snow
fell on the 2lst OF May. Such q
thing mas not been known since 1888.
Those VINO have made close obsefya-
tons on the weather, tell us that this
year, so far, has been very much
like 1888. In that year there was
ice enough in August to freeze the
corn in the New England States SO
that it was unfit for anything. In
many places there was no corn made.

5 tanning Of the iiames,


IT Is now stated positively BIZ the
0malia Herald, that Samuel J. Til
den vii NOT be candidate for preF-
ident Of the United States in 1891.
II occurs to us that if Mr.. Tilden
has made this decision, he has made
wise one. OF course many Of his
friends arc enthusiastic in the be-
lief that, should BE be candidate
his election would be certainty.
Il is perfectly patent, however, that
many OF the leaders Of the party
both ii the press and out, end glad
70 know that Tilden viii not allow
his name 70 be used. They want
the people to believe that there as
sertions about the certainty OF his
election, are based on good grounds,
and that he would have been elected,
IL he had made the race. There is
nobody who would more willingly
and cheerfully support Tilden for
president than we, if there was any
chance for his election. But in our
opinion, he cannot be elected, and
therefore We think it best not 10 run
him. We do not want him defeated
any more. If there is an available
man in the democratic party in pref
erence to Tilden.
