Good news for the Planters.

The New York Comm crciu, oud FL
ndnci0I Chronicle is one Of the most
careful and trustworthy publications Of
its class in the United States, and the
farmers OF the South may therefore,
congratulate themselves upon the rca-
sons for expecting n good cotton crop
this year which the Chr0niclc presents
in its issue Of the 18Th. Whatever
the weather may be for the remainder
Of the season, it seems impossible now
that the cotton crop Of 1855 shall not
be considerably more than the crep Of
1884 or 1888. The crop this year, more
over, has been made ut n low cost, be-
cause of the chcapncss Of the food pro-
ducts which the cotton planters have
had to buy, and because of the ccono-
my and prudence which have been en-
forced upon them by hard times. The
scarcity of money, again, has prevented
the planters firm working on borrowed
capital and they are not in debt on this
account MS they usually arc. \ good
crop. sold at anything like a fair price.
will put the planters on their feet again.
and particularly those in South Carroll
ma, who arc now in an excellent condi.
ton to get the full benefit Of the change
for the better.
The Chronicle hints that there is no
reason why surplus wheat should be
cultivated in the South when the price
is so low that the tendency even in the
Northwest is to restrict the planting,
and asks why should any food pro-
ducts receive any enlarged attention in
1.-THE cotton States when at present val
"ues and rates for railroad carriage they
are NIL OF them, cheaper bought than
raised ~ There is no likelihood, of
course, that any surplus wheat will be
made in the South, or in any part Of the
South. The present market price Of
wheat and other food products, however,
is no argument against the doctrine
which the News dnd Courier has al
ways preached, that every Southern
farmer should make himself inlcpen-
dent Of the market fy raising the food
needed for the consumption Of his fam
lily and farm stock.

Ny wife and daughter suffered for years with
an affection OF the throat, which was gradually
but surely undermining their health, and was a
source OF anxiety to all of us. Two Of the best
physicians of the city and also a surgeon were
called In, and after n careful examination they

operation; We We're much opposed to the knife
being used, antil all other means had been e1-
hausted. So, We began to use different throat
remedies sold ut drug stores. We finally got to

trnly wonderful; and after a few bottles had
been taken they were entirely relieved Of the
trouble and their health fully restored. II any

Some years ago one OF BIZ. LELAlsD's farm

state Of Lis blood, an ugly serOfulous swelling

Fible itching Of the skin, with burning and
darling pains through the lump. made life
almost intolorable. The leg became snOr-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
diseharging great quantities Of extremely
offensive matter. NO treatment was Of any
avail until the man, BY Mr.. LELASD's diree-
ton, was supplied with AVER's SAEsAPA-

She hath Knocked with a musical laugh,
She hath killed with a smile that earessed,
In their moments OF madness and grief,
She hath slain all the brayest and best.
All who shall unrayel the woes.
The loves and the tragical pain.
Oh who that hath known her shall dare
Encounter semelo again
