ECONOMY IN GOOD FARM BUILDINGS.

ECONOMY IN GOOD FARM BUILDINGS.
Good farming implies warm shelters
for stock in inclement weather. Warm
stables prevent loss of flesh and
vitality from cold or wet weather, and
at the same time enable the farmer to
effect the greatest possible saving
of animal excrements for manure.
The increased amount and value of
the voiGings of sheltered animals will
pay large interest on the cost of the
buildings. The saving in feed re-
quired for maintenance will go far
toward paying rent on the structures.
Good economy requires that the farm
buildings be built of sound, sub
stantial, durable materials, and that
they be well built. Then the cost of
repairs will be reduced to minimum.
The farmers dwelling should also be
well built of the best materials, and
so conveniently arranged as to make
the housework as light as possible.
This is question of economy as well
as question of justice to the weaker
sex who are part of the working force
of the farm. The farmers dwelling
should be well lighted, well ventilated
and we'll severed, so as to preserve
the health and efficiency of its in
mates, and the idea of beauty should
have full effect in the location and
architecture of the farm dwellings
and all of it's environments, including
its ornamental grounds, kitchen and
fruit garden and orchard. American

The new departure of w. N White
in advertising his goods and showing
the people how cheap they can buy at
bis store, caused bis trade to increase
in such way that in short time he
bad 10 gets new clerk TO accommo-
date the rush of customers. Lately
Mr.. White went to New Orleans and
other markets to buy his fall stock of
goods, and he happened to be in New
Orleans just at the time the new tariff
bill went into effect. As in the new
tariff the duty was taken off many
articles such as woolen goods, cotton
goods, shoes. ETC., those articles went
right down ia consequence of it, and
Mr.. White Immediately bought full
supply, so that his customers in Provi-
dence would have the benefit of the
cheap goods. He bought, for instance,
4S cases of shoes, and everything else
in the same proportion. When he
came back TO Providence on Tuesday
morning and cndeavored to make
room IL his store for the new goods, he
found out that it would be impossible
for him not only 10 display, buteven to
store away, half of what he had
bought, so lhat at once. that same day,
he determined to get larger store.
On Wednesday morning, he rented
COINS brick store, that has been lately
used as the Armory, and OH Thursday
he had carpenters hard at work replac-
ing the shelves and counters. This is
certainly wise move OH Mr.. Whites
part. The store is large, spacious,
well-lighted, wcll-yentilated, and he
will be able TO display to advantage
the finest stock of goods that ever
came to Providence. AS the goods
are all fresh, new, well selected,
and cheap, because they have been
bought Immediately after tho tariff
bill went into effect, his trade
will increase in such way that in a
short time he viii have to have addi-
fional clerks. Yet there are some
people blind enough to think that
there is nothing in printers ink.
Mr.. White will be in his new store By
the end of next week.

STRAIGHT TO THE RAILROAD.

Last week we were invited by our
Mississippi friends, Messrs Burton
and Hart, to inspect new road that
! is being cut through The woods be-
tween the Valley railroad aud the
river. Accepting the invitation. we
were met on the other shore by Mr.
Collins, a merchant doing business
at Ben Lomond, who undertook The
task Of pilot which is often rather
difficult job, especially when the object
to he steered is a one-horsc country
newspaper editor.
This new road which the citizens oil
Issaquena county are laying out will
be of great convenience TO the town
Of Providence, to say nothing of the
advantages it will Afford our neigh
bors on the other side of the river.
The objective point is the little town
of Carey, GU the railroad. From Ben
bomond front TO Carey is about
twelve m thirteen miles. The road
through the woods lies mainly on high
ridges, which will afford convenient
travel all the year round. There are
only two streams to bridge-Steers
bayou aud Hastings bayou. This
road will bring great deal of cotton
10 Ben Lomond to be shipped. II
costs So bale TO ship cotton to New
Orleans on the railroad and one cal,
see the item of expense that will be
saved by shipping on the boats.
When the new road becomes TO be
generally used, our mail route can be
changed; and Instead of getting the
mail late in the evening, VIC can have
il here by noon every day. IF n per-
son has important business in New
Orleans or Vicksburg, he CAN leave
here III the evening as late as O'Clock
and be in New Orleans the next morn
log by break fast time, or in Vicksburg
within few hours.
The gentlemen who have under
taken this task have pushcGit through
with vim. One thing we.noticed es-
peciaily while riding over the road !:
they get the plantation hands out and
make them work. In this respect
out Mississippi friends are ahead Of
us.
When the Board Of Supervisors
meets and appropriates money to
build bridge across Steel's bayou,
the road will be ready for regular
travel from the river front to the
Valley road; when the citizens of
Providence and the adjacent country
will find that they will be much nearer
to New Orleans than they ever were
before.
To the gentlemen who extended us
SO many couriesies we tender our
sincere thanks; aud we hope that their
will be richly repaid this
fall in the increase of their shipments
aud the profits of trade.
