Go south.

The Boston Globe, in an article on the advantages offered by the south to settlers, "with the whole South offering unequalled induce ments to immigration and the in. vest ment of capital, it cannot be long before the vast stream of men and money deluging the bleak Northwest will turn to the most delightful region of the land, it's semitropical latitude.n FThe Globe urges New Englanders .to go South in preference to "the Wild Vest, Yes, come South, and meantime, take look at Arkansas. .4nd ifyou find a fairer country, a more genial climate, greater and better diversity of soil and climate than is to be found in this fair re- zion of ours. we will not insist upon your remaining with us.

Stick To Your Calling.

Frequent changes of business are generally attended with ill-suc- cess. The old adage that trolling stone gathers no moss,' is true. The farmer who Is constantly changing his business or the kind of crop, simply because prices are high, and then changing to sOme- thing else, because prices are tenn. porarily depressed will usually fail to succeed. Then again, there are farmers who from necessity buy when prices are high and sell when they are low; this is another potent cause of poverty and depression 7, with large class ofasriculturalist The time to buy, said an old and successful business man,.is "when everybody desires to sell, and the best time to sell, is when other people are anxious to purchase."
 Feed the farm and stick to your calling farmer friends, aud by req sonable industry you are as certain of reasonable competency as any thing in the future can be.-Rural and Workman.

Money Couldn't Bay It.

The Acworth News and Farmer of this week says, Mrs. Elizabeth Baker, living within three miles of Acworth, remarked that Wander bilt's fortune could not bny from her what six bottles of Swift's Specific has done for her. Her statement is as follows: For thirty one years I have suffered almost death from that horrible disease, scr0fula. For years I was unable to do anything in keeping up my domestic affairs. Last October l was induced to try Swift's Spe- citic, and used two bottles, and was so much benefited by it that l purchased four more from Messrs. Northcut & Johnson, which has al most entirely relieved me. l feel like new person, and can do all my own housework. Before I took the s. s. s. my lifcwas burden to ne, as my entire person was GOV cred with sores, and in this miSera- ble condition l did not care to live. I had tried every known remedy, and my case was generally regard: ed as incurable. I had been treat ed by the best physicians to no avail. most heartily recommend Swift's Specific to the afflicted.
 Messrs. Northcut & Johnson, merchants at Acworth, say. We know Mrs. Elizabeth Baker per sonally; we are familiar with her case. She is highly esteemed in this community.

The South.

Mir. R. II. Davis. of Phil adelphia who recently accompanied Col. .4lex. Mcclure editor of the Times, on a trip through the south, was much impressed with what he saw, and delivered a lecture at Leigh university, recently, in which he embodied his observations whilst in this portion of the country. In a published account of his lecture, 7, the following,,is the concluding par. agraph and those who have paid any attention to the progress being made in the material development now going on all over the south, will agree with the lecturer.
 "We have misunderstood the south in more ways than one. We have not appreciated their indus tries or shown the good fellowship we should have shown. If either side is to feel bitterly. surely it should be the south; they lost the fight and 1t is a question ifthey did not suffer more from the northern politicians after the war than they did from northern soldiers during it. They tell me how after the war every third door in Philadel- phia was hung with crape; why didn't we leave them the doors to hang it on; and yet they are not anxious to meet us half way but all the way. They want us to help them and share their industries, and to be better friends. If the sight of those people building up their country of twenty years growth doesn't touch your hearts remember that very soon it's going to touch your pockets, for the south has within it that which is going to make it the most prosper ous portion of the United States"
