"A map of the road to heaven, by { soul in purgatory," writes an author ana literary critic, describing his ideal, and humorously conlessing his failure to at, tain it. But, if one knows the right patl he should follow it. Why, then, suffer in the purgatory of disease, when the way of escape is iH plain sight?

There appears to be difference of opinion as to the proper time of filing official bonds. Some contending that they must be filed by the 18th of De- cenber, others by the 18th of January The new statutes, we believe, reads that they must be filed "before the expira- ton of fifteen days from the commence ment Of the term of ofIice." The newly elected do not enter on the duties of their offices until the first day of Jan uary. According 10 fbis the 18th day of January will be the last day on which official bonds can be filed, and any flied on or before that day, will be legal.

Almost the entire surface of Apache county las been visited with contin- uous rain and snow for nearly month. There has probably at no period in the history of tine country been such raip- fall. Roads can scarcely be travelled even on horseback, and all travel by wagons has ceased for two weeks or more past. Such rain in July would have made Apache county a glorious country; but at this time of the year, little good can come of it, except to en- able cattle to graze where they were un- able to feed in the summer for the want of water.

A HIGHLAND POND.

A subscriber informs us that he has
a pond of water that is seldom dry,
except occasionally in midsummer
that it is so located that he cannot
drain it by ditching, except at heavy
cost, and that it is very desirable to
bring it into cultivation, it being near
the centre of a large field. Says it
has been there from his earliest recol-
lection.
We had such a pond, and during a
very dry summer we cut a ditch in
the lowest part of it, about twenty
feet in length. We found that a
"hard pan" lay about twenty-eight
inches from the surface-so hard that
it required the vigorous use of a sharp
pick to get through it. This cake was
formed of fine sand and clay. Imme-
diately underlying it we found a STRAIT
UNI of coarse gravel and sand. This
acted as a drain, and ever after we
cultivated the land up to the ditch and
thus saved about an acre of very pro-
ductive and valuable land. We think
u subscriber will find that his pond
of water is held by a "hard pan "
which is as ~impervious to water as
stone would be, and all he has to do
is to go. down and penetrate it, and he
will have no more trouble with his
highland pond.

they we're allowed last fall to CLEAN

them corn, but the seat of the disease

not agree with their constitutions. Of
course they look haggard and dis

m I'M PoRTANT COMMITTEE.

Congress has appointed committee
to investigate the various combines,
trusts and syndicates of the country,
with the view of ascertaining what
legislation is necessary to restrain
their ~rapacious robbery. This com
mittee is entrusted with a high and
responsible duty, syndicates, trusts
and combines are formed for the pur-
pose of destroying competition and to
fix and establish the price of the com
modify they may handle. They are
governed by methods wholly at war
with the old and cherished American
idea that capital legitimately en-
ployed, whether the poor mans dollar
or the rich mans thousands, should
not be INSTRUCTED. We have "Trusts"
to control the cotton seed oil mills of
the South; "trusts" to control the
manufacture of steel rails; "trusts"
to gobble up the sugar refner1es;
"trusts" to buy up large coal mines
and to fix the output, the freights and
the price; "trust" to fix arbitrarily and
absolutely the quantity of certain
things to be put on the market and
the price at which they shall be sold,
and thus the country is drifting every
day into the control Of monopolists and
plunderers. We hope that committee
is constituted Of men who have the
pluck and the nerve to "turn on the
light" and we shall look with interest
for their report.

Do you want the trade of the farm

you a valuable medium through the
columns of the PROGRESSIVE FARMER.
We believe this paper has never been
charged with blowing it's own horn"
nor does it desire to subject itself to
the charge. 1t does not claim to be
the best medium in the State, or to
have the largest circulation, but we
may say, without vanity, that it is
making some progress towards that
distinction, and it believes it has now
a. sufficiently large circulation to make
it an important item with the business
men who would reach the farmers of
the State. At all events, we would
be pleased to quote rates and to give
the exact number of subscribers to
any who may desire TO advertise, and
IN both we think we can please.

Dear ST. send you four reported
Alliances that I have formed since
last Saturday-two a day; have more
on the way. Money is really so scarce
that the men cannot get money to
pay the fee, or [ would organize faster.
The farmers seem alive to their in
t%erest, and I beginning to lay hold
as if they meant business. They are
hard at work and we'll advanced for
February. Grain; crops look promis-
ing. Farmers are so kind and hos
pitable, but cannot be personal only
thank MI. Levi Shuford, an aged gen
tleman and farmer, for his kindness
in riding with and assisting me in my
work. [ met with a Northern gen
tleman, Mr.. L. S. Hyser, to-day. He
insisted on my calling, got down, went
with him through his barn, and a
model it is, we'll filled with forage,
roots, potatoes, and in fact everything
a farmer needs, and it would be a
lesson and a treat to any Of our farm
ers to visit him, especially any of them
that contemplate building a barn soon.
He says he is not a thoroughbred
farmer, but go and see him; he says
he will give you the right hand Of
fellowship, and he will.
[ could write more, but farmers
don't want long letters. l think the
farmers millennium close at hand. We
will all be at Lincolnton next Satur-
day to hear Col Pickett.

Mr.. EDIToR:-l saw it stated in

for a farmer to do his work is at the
ballot box. This is all true, but the
best time, it strikes me, is at the town

good farmers to represent your town
ship in the County Convention; farm
ers who will use their tongues with
all their might, and see that good
men are put on the ticket. 1t is too
late to wait until voting time. Brother
farmers, look to you' interest and be
thinking; think a great deal, consult
each other, and then do something at
our County Convention. Let us hear
from you through The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER, the best paper in the State.
