GOOD ADVICE.

Mr.. NJ. A. Smith, an Alliance
man of Alabama in recent address
gave the following good sensible ad-
vice which we hope the farmers of
the country generally may heed.
The essence of Mr.. Smiths ad-
dress is:
l. Cut off every unnecessary ex-
pense.
2. Abandon whisky and tobacco.
3. Buy cheap goods woven at our
southern factories, and have them
made at home.
4. Sow grain more largely, wheat
enough for home consumption, oats
and rye in abundance, pay more at
tention to your pastures, kill off the
dogs and raise sheep, goats, cattle,
hogs, horses, mules, and do neglect
the dairy, garden and orchard, nor
any other industry or economy, how
ever small or insignificant, that will
supplement your table or your purse.
5. Patronize home industries and
encourage home enterprise-sustaiR
your schools and churches, draw the
bond of union and cooperation closer
and closer, and do not hesitate to
take hold of anything and every
thing honorable to sustain your
freedom and independence.

GOOD ADVICE TO FARMERS.

DEAR JOURNAL As you are al
ways ready to lend a helping hand
to the advancement of agriculture.
| wish to say a few words on that
line. There are lots of farmers al
liancemen that read your laper,
and | am one also. Dear farmers,
let US see to it that our lots and
barnyards are we'll Uttered this WIN
ter, and that no manure is wasted,
but that lots of it is made. There
can be lots of it made with little
labor and care, and we can save
thousands of dollars that we pay out
every year for commercial fertilizers
which, in my opinion, does not i'm
prove the land in the least. This
may be disputed, but it YOU will look
around, you will find lots of land
that is getting poorer every year.
Then we should make a change
make our own manure, and plant
less cotton, SOW more wheat and
oats, plant more corn and peas, and
everything that we can raise at
home. l said sow more wheat, do
not try to SOW too much, but what
you SOW prepare your land we'll and
make off of acres Whist you would
off af Is. This can be done. Let
US raise our own meat see to it that
you have as much as one hog any
how, and with proner attention, you
can make $50 pounds of meat, and
that according to the time prices,
it will save s25. When your cotton
is sold in the fall, my friends, the
merchant is not to blame so much
as heap think, for the fault is in
ourselves, We never will be any bet
ter OF as long as we try to raise cot
ton to buy everything that we use
from a steam engine to a pegging
awl. There is no law to make you
trade with the merchant, but if you
do trade, you should pay every cent
that you owe. Then there are lots
OF people that try harder to keep
from paying their debts than they
do to pay them, and l say to every
Allianceman, if you have member
that tries to keep from paying his
just debts instead of trying to pay
them, turn him out

chant. CRICKET.

SHALL FARMS PAY.

We are glad to see so good west
ern authority as Coleman's Rura
Word arguing against the western
tendency toward farming on gigan-
tic scale. That paper says:
IF the owner ola small farm bring
to his work the business capacity
and good judgment which the land
owner does, it is very evident that,
proportional to the acres cultivated,
he will have the most money at the
end of the year. Hired help is not
only expensive but at times very
uncertain and unreliable, but a
mans own hands with his heart in
bis work, which seldom accompanies

every little detail on which success
depends.

WASTED WORDS.

Under the above caption the Spar
ia lshmalite says:
1t is apparent even to outsiders
that, in the cases of the most of our
farmers the balance Is on the wrong
side Of the ledger. Startling as the
statement may seem, there is abso-
lutel y not one reason why th4
suits of the labors of most of our
farmers should not be disastrous.
while there are many strong reasons
why they should be. If their fields
had been in the highest state Of fer
tility, if their labor had been in the
highest degree effective and reliable,
if there had been no drouths, in
simmer and no rain storms in the
tall, if there had been no combine
tons to run up the prices Of what
they had to buy and run down She
prices of what they had to sell, if
they had bought and sold, during
the year, under the operations of an
honest instead Of thievish system
of Federal taxation-even then, it
would have been found that with all
those aids to the best of results, the
failure to make the raising of farm
and household supplies the mai.
| consideration would have left tbs
| general results of the years labors
far below what they would have
been under more rational methods.
But when no such favorable condi-
tons existed and, in addition, the
methods we're of the irrational sort
which opposes the raising Of home
supplies on the farm, how cozld it
be possible for the lsborG Of the
year to result in anything bat fail
ure? Under such conditions d;Oas-
ter is absolutely sure. More than
this, it is deserved.
And SO it is fair 10 say that there
is never a good time coming fer ths
farmers of Hancock, unless they
change their methods so aa to make
their farms self-sRstaining in the
matter of food for man and beast.
God Is not going to set aside any Of
the laws of nature, as they stand re-
lated to production, in order to
thrust prosperity on those whs do
not deserve it. The farm which is
not self sustaining subtraets from
the general prosperity instead of
adding to it; and the farmer who
runs that sort Of an establishment
is not more valuable to the world of
production than branch which
mas to have its water supplies fur
nished by irrigation is to the great
waterways of the earth.

Probably not half of the farmers
give lime in any form to their fowls.
Of course the hens manage to
lay tolerably without the direct sup
ply of lime, but egg shells are often
very thin and eggs much fewer than
though the birds had full supply
OF oyster and clam shells, which
they eat greedily, showing very
plainly their necessity for the fowls
to do their best.

Manufacturing establishments
give employment to idle labor.
Laborers consume merchandise, and
when they are given work to do are
thereby enabled to pay for what
they consume. So manufacturing
enterprises are beneficial all around.
The enterprise make handsome
profit, the merchants sell their goods
to the hands employed and the
hands are enabled to pay for them.
Then it is beneficial to all.

All over the state we hear of AL
liances that are resolving to make
then farms self-sustaining. This is
the true policy. 1t is the true road,

only road to independence. IT. hom-

Saloons Decreasing.

Now let the advocates of temperance
take courage. The annual report of
the Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. shows that the number of saloon
keepers in the country is much less
than it was three years ago. More
than that, it shows that exports of IL
quor are also reduced fully 20 per cent.
as compared with five or six years ago.
The number of persons dealing in
malt liquors exclusively has also fallen
Off within the past two or three years,
the reduction of these being fully 40
per cent. The reduction in the num-
ber of dealers in liquors has been espe-
cially marked in the South. In every
one of the Southern States, excepting
Maryland, there has been decrease.
In Georgia there has been a reduction
of nearly 40 per cent. The number of
liquor dealers in the United States,
wholesale and retail, is about 100000.
Three years ago they numbered about

An Indian Chiefs Thanksgiving Pro.
cIamatiOn. VI"

GAS our forefathers, when Natures
children of the forest, in simplicity did
give praise and thanks to the Great
Spirit in their yearly mystic Green
corn dance for the return Of His great
gift to them-the Indian corn'-now,
to-day, as a Christian Nation of peo-
pie, it is but meet that the Cherokee
people should give thanks to the Chris
tian's God for His continued protec-
ton of our tribe in the enjoyment of
their Government and homes, and
that, through the many trials.we have
been compelled to pass, He has contin-
ued to bless our people. 1t is but prop
er that we, as a Nation, should pause
and give earnest thanks to God that
we have been permitted to live in the
enjoyment of this life, and the peace
and prosperity that surrounds us :
Now, therefore,
1, j. B. .Mayes, Principal Chief of
the Cherokee Nation, do issue this, my
Proclamation, to the Cherokee people,
asking that you yet apart Thursday,
the 2Sth day of November, as day of
Thanksgiving, that you assemble at
your usual places of worship and give
thanks to God, and beseech Him to
bless us once more, and shield US from
the dangers that surround us, and ear
nestly ask Him to let us live, as other
Nations and States around us, in the
full enjoyment of the gifts that He has
given u.s."

A Proposed Remedy for Divorce.

The Hon. Edward J. Phelps, ex-Min-
lister to England and Lecturer on Law
Mt Yale, has turned his attention to the
subject Of Divorce in the United States,
with an effort to discover q practical
means Of iessening The evil. How
great that evil is may be seen mt n
glance from the fact that during the
last twenty years more than 5Dn, 600
divorces have been granted, whereas,
during the preceding twenty years,
only Il few more than $4,000 were
granted. This rapid increase is the
main fact which has directed the at
tention both Of social and legal reform
ers to the subject. Mr.. Phelps treats
it froEsa practical, legal point of view,
and considers the means whereby the
law may be best used as q preventive.
A uniform divorce law in all the
states he regard as impossible ever to
obtain, and his view of the Federal
Consultation is that it would be illegal
for the United States to enact q law on
this subject, this being a matter which
falls within State jurisdiction. He ad-
dresses himself, therefore, to state laws ;
and after 8, discussion of tile main feat
ures of laws, reaches the conclusion,
that the remedy wifi be found in pro-
hibition of marriage by either divorced
9arty so long'as the other lives. He
Shows historically, that it is the liberty
to marry again tffat has caused such an
increase in divorces :, and he concludes
that it is the desire for another mar
riage alliance that is theNmain cause of
most separations between husbands
and wives. Mr.. Phelps contributes
this study of the subject to The Forum
and it appears in the December num-
