f'those urthinking persons Of the "back-

their own backbones would be without thoir
brains, their hands, and ercry other faculty
that goes to make up the human body aud
support the backbone, we think they would
stop such foolish talk as denouncing the
merchants, professional men and others
living in towns and cities, rs enemies Of the
Farmers aud their occupations opposed to
the farming interest. There is not lesi,i.
mate profession or employment that does
not contribute its share to the prosperity
and advancement Of every other profession
and; emplpyment, and each is essential to

We have never been able to see the sense

in the town or city, yet it is to my interest
