THE COTTON COMPRESS.
A Misunderstanding Between the
Stockholders and the Central.

There seems to be some misun-
Outstanding between the stock :
holders Of The cotton compress and
the Central railroad.
A few days ago Superintendent
Mckenzie, representing the rail
road, was here to confer with the
stockholders in regard to Local
ton. Superintendent Mckenzie
told the stockholders IN the com
press company that they could use
the right of way of the railroad to
put their building on, and that the
road would encourage aS,i patron
ize the enterprise. Mr.. Mckenzie
returned to Macon and in a few
days thereafter sent an agreement
here to be signed by the compress
company giving them permission
to build on the Centrals ground
with the understanding that the
compress shall be moved at any
time after thirty days notice from
the road. This was a surprise to
the gentlemen interested in the en-
terpnse, and they refused to sign
such an agreement.
Further negotiations are now
pending between them and the
Central and the matter will prob.
ably be satisfactorily adjusted.
Should it not be, however, another
location will be procured and the
cotton compress added to Dawson's
industries anyhow.

\ bright young farmer who went from
a remark as the result of his experience
which is full of meat. Said he, IF farmers
in Vermont would live as those in Nebraska
do they would all get rich"
The difference in the farmers living in
the two sections is very great. In Nebras
ka wretched hut made of sods may con
tain the family of a fairly prosperous farmer,
and a good house there is anything that
will keep half dozen people dry and warm.
There is no top buggy and no carefully built
shed to keep it in There are no knick-
knacks in the house, and rarely space TO
put them. Everything, out doors and in
the house--vehicles dress, table and what
not-is measured closely by necessity and
by that alone This comes simply from the
conditions found in newly settled country.
The things that conduce TO pleasure and
ease merely and are not essential to exist
ence cannot be had at first by any possible
ity, and it is long time before they are
given much attention. Bread and butter,
shelter aud warmth must first be had; it is
no light work To assure these, aud it takes
many slow years to get beyond them.
Relatively speaking, the eastern farmer
lives in luxury aud the western one in pow
erty-the poverty which has the essentials
of life and no more. 1t is this fact which
explains many things. The farmer in Yer
mont spends hundreds or thousands of dol
lars in his lifetime for things which the
Nebraska farmer does entirely without.
Some of these things the Vermont man
might perhaps go without and suffer no sort
of injury, but he, as well as all other civil
lied men, has fashion to consider. The
young man mentioned above finally return
ed TO Vermont and is now a prosperous
farmer in hill town" and his remark
about the matter is that if he lived here as
he did in Nebraska people would think
him blamed fool" Men like, aud are in
a manner compelled, to do in certain re-
spects as their neighbors do,
If the New England farmer envieS his
western brother in this or that mat rial re-
spect he should still remember his own ad-
vantages. He has the things that an Older
civilization brings, and in many ways gets
more from his life, He could not bs in
duced to live in houses made of sods or log
and in considering his relative conditions
should not fail to rate at their full value hi
house Of the better kind aud all that Is
within and around it.-Rmiahd Herald.
