Some one has taken the tronble
to find out how far a farmer must
walk to put in and tend forty acres
of corn. To plow the'ground with
a sixteen inch three horse plow he
travels $50 miles to harrow The
ground thoroughly before planting
he will have to travel 100 miles; to
make out the same he travels 80
miles; to cultivate it afterwards he
must travel 300-making a grand
total of 500 miles, besides the gath
ering.-Spirit. ~

The first ground was broken in
Pullman, ILL.,, three years ago and
now 1t has 6,000 inhabitants. The
system of sewerage is admirable.
The refuse of the town flows to an
immense cistern under the water
tower. The steam power is used to
pump the sewerage to the town
farm of $4,000 acres, which is thus
irrigated and enriched. The profit
on the farm under this system of
culture when it had only 60 acres
was $500, This land was consid-
cred exhausted, but the success of
experiment suggests new use and
value for city sewerage.

For many years the temperance
question has been discussed in this
state in many form, but until with
in the last few years, prohibition
has been confined to Maine and a
few other states. We have noticed
more recently that the temperance
advocates in Tennessee have been
gaining strength. Every bill or res
olution, we believe, introduced in
the last legislature favoring tenn
perance prevailed and to day public
sentiment in the state is stronger
in favor of temperance than before.
The issue is upon us and whether
we like it or not, we will soon be
called upon to decide the question
at the ballot box as TO whether we
will have a constitutional amend
ment prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of liquor in the state or not.
The question is now before the peo-.
people, and they may as well begin
to make up their minds upon the
important subject The state is
being 'canvassed now by able speak
ers, and clubs are being formed all
over the country, pledging them
selves to vote for and do all they
can in favor of q constitutional
amendment. We knew there were
some warm advocates of temperance,
but were astonished to see so many
favoring the cause. From the tone
OF the press throughout the state
and the signs of the timt yoa need
not be surprised if the next legisla-
ture is called upon to submit the
question to the people on its own
merits for adoption or rejection.
There are thousands of christian
men who, in their hearts, are for
temperance and would be glad. to
see 1t prevail, but for fear Of IN
and injuring their bust
ness, remain silent These men
say nothing, but when the issue
comes square before the people, and
they are called upon to vote, many
of them viii vote for prohibition.
We have always favored temper
ance, but have faltered at the idea
of prohibition. We have never ad-
mired the word. We have felt that
it would deprive many of us of
rights we have enjoyed from the
foundation of the American gov
ernment. We have been schooled
to look upon prohibition as fanati-
cism-a step in advance of the age
but when we think of the awful
consequences of intemperance, the
great evils it is producing, to say
nothing of the draw back to the
christian religion, we are brought
to reflect as to what is our duty.
AS a christian people we have a
duty to perform and should perform
that duty though it cost us much
sacrifice, even to the giving up of
our favorite occupation. We shall
not attempt a discussion of the
merits or demerits of prohibit on
in this article, but simply inform
our readers that the question is
now upon us and we will sooner
or later be called on decide pro or
con, and we may as well get ready
for the issue.-Southern Standard.

The reports from the southern
cotton mills show dividends from
II to a per cent. New England
manufacturers recognize the in
creasing competition from the south
in the low-grade goods. With such
dividends as these, the competition
may be expected to increase. A
large amount of capital is quietly
and steadily flowing southwark.
Northern manufacturers know that
sooner or later this competition will
assume a phase that will neceSsitate
change of output in such northern
mills as are now engaged upon

To complete the "testimony"in the

merely illustrates the apathy which

with regard to old abuses,
