Mr.. ]. II. burlington sustained 4

the saw. He was badly cut and
bruised, but fortunately the bone
was MT broken. DIR. y. T. Cooper

Mr.. Editor: What will become
Of this country if things go on as
they are now? 1t seems TO me that
there will be no ore to ill the soil.
Most every boy and yonng man is
try ing to get into some kind of bus
mesa clerk, a sch ool-teacher, a
doctor, lawyer, or some kind of
business-to keep from tilling the
soil. The old men are wearing out,
and will soon be gone, and no one
will be left 10 till the ground. Eve
rybody can't be merchants, school
teachers, lawyers and doctors.
Where do they get their support
from? Why they get it from few
Of the old broken down far m ers, who
have to bear the hot scorching sun,
and toll for their support. The far
mers support those who are living
on fine luxury, and wearing fine
clothes. Where does all this come
from? Just think of it! must
say that it comes from the "poor old
farmer" Every cent of money
that is made comes from the soil;
still they are looked up by those that
do not have to till the ground, as
low down class of people. "The poor
old broken down farmers run the
whole wOrld.n
Now, few words to the girls: [
must say that they have partly gone
astray on the fashion question. 1t
seems so me that great many OF
them think of nothing but dressing.
III they see a young man with fine
clothes on, and tender hands, and
gold watch chain, and is about half
drunk, he is the very man for them.
Now, girls, this will not do. Look
We out man thai is sober, truthful,
honest and is willing TO till the soil.
1t matters not if he is sun-burnt, and
has hard rough hands, he will do to
tie to. Girls, you must learn to
handle the pots, to iron, to sew, to
knit, and to cook. 1t is no disgl ace.
This country will never be any better
off until one learns to do all this.
God said: "Man hould eat bread by
the sweHt Of his face, till thou return
unto the ground, from whence thou
came, for dust thou art, aud unto
dust thou shalt return" Therefore,
the Lord sent him from the garden
of Eden to till the ground. So you
see that man was made to till the
ground. Just stop, ana think awhile,
and see who it is keeping up the
whole world, keeping up the mer-
chants, the lawyers, and the doctors,
and all these fine dressed agents, and
last of all the whiskey sellers. Who
is to blame for this? The merchant?
The lawyer? The doctor? No!
The "poor old farmers" Let us try
to do better and keep ourselves up,
and let them go. SNAP.

Miss Levonia G. Fowler, passed
through Owenville the 10 inst, on
a return from visiting her many
friends around Hives.
Mr.. J. l.. Warren has returned
home from guarding the convicts,
for the purpose of making crop.
Our young merchant recently
took trip to Newto" Grove, for
the purpose of taking young lady
home. but after leaving he found
that he would have to take "ladies"
and large "valise," though he
drove the distance in about three
hours, but on the return he had
only one lady and it took him about
six hours to drive the same distance.
We think that the materimonial
market will soon be on boom
from the way the young ladies are
having "quiltings."
The most important news of this
