THE CHANCE FOR OUR FARMERS.

The time is drawing very near for
the opening of the Boston Exposition,
at which North Carolina will have the
handsomest and most complete exhib-
it of any Of the States in the Union.
This exhibit is made SO as to draw
capital and labor to our State, which
every one admits is needed very much.
The State authorities, that is, the
Department of Agriculture, is doing
its full duty, and if only backed up
by the aid of the people throughout
the State many factories will be es-
tablished, and mines of iron, gold,
etc., opened out. This can be, and
will be if the citizens, the farmers.
and the land owners in our State will
only furnish information so we may
furnish those who are attracted by
our States display. To get the North
ern men to Rttle or invest in North
Carolina, wemust be able to tell them
where they can buy lands for farming
purposes, where they can buy water
powers, mineral and wooded land, land
those who have such for sale should
furnish such information. Unless
they will place their lands into the
market, giving it into the hands Of
some reliable land agency In the
State we cannot expect much good to
result from the efforts made by our
displays. :,
Every person who desires to sell
any real property is urged to furnish
Mr.. John R. Patrick, State Immigra'
ton Agent, at Wadesboro, with De
scription, price and terms OF the same
and he will assist them to place their
lands upon the Northern and Ne"
England market.-JournM & Obser

vfsURE OF CHICKEN CHo.ERA.-Ihe
following prescription is from Rev.
James E. McSparran, member OF
fhs Virginia Conference Of the NJ. E.
Church, South, as preventative and
eslfH of chicken cholera. He tells
me that he has tried it for years and
it yields most satisfactory results:
] when signs appear, feed once or
twice a week on salt dough, in pro-
portions of one tablespoonful OF salt
to one quart Of meal, to which |
add spoonful of alum, dissolved.

A Dissatisfied Colored Man.

Thomas Hamilton. of Beaufort,
one Of the most prominent coiored
politicians in South Carolina. has
written letter to the News andCou-
rier, roundly denouncing the fepub-
lican party. and insisting that the
colored man has rights that must be
respected, He advises the colored
men to vote for democratic candi-
dates. He holds that his race ows
nothing to radicalism, and adds:
"That party has brought such dis
grace ON the negro name that it will
take generations to wipe it out.
When the republicans controlled this
State, all that the teachers could get
for their certificates was 40 cents on
the dollar. Now, when the State is
controlled by Democrats, they are
worth Cne hundred cents on the dol
lar. Educa ton is the one grerat
need of the negro race, and the party
which has given the most aid to cd
ucation is the one which the negro
should support" Mr.. Hamilton also
says: "There are about $50 white
republicans IN the State, and abolst
1sO of them hold goVerpment q
ments. Those who are not in office
are in business, and invariah1VS,te
