From this years experience our farmers
will not have to be preached to to raise
less cotton and more meat, bread, and
syrup. Those that devoted their attention
to raising home supplies are not IN dread
of the results Of low cotton prices. Where.
ever you find farmer that has made his
meat and bread, you will find that he has
no fear of his creditors pressing him for
money.

Considerable racket is kicked up By some
of the opposition on account Of the vote on
the constitutional convention. At this poll
thev claim that twice as many mo"
tickets were voted than the returns show.
Our friends may be sincere in believing
what they claim, but they seem to forget
that the managers are required by law to
throw out, and destroy all tickets voted in
the wrong boxes, and If more mo" tickets
were voted than the returns show, We nave
no doubt but that those voting them, voted
in the wrong boxes We do know that one
of our intelligent and prominent citizens
voted his registration ticket in the consts-
tutional convention box.
Fresh garden seed this week at Brockin-

Last week rumor had it that Maj. P. G.
Benbow received information that he was
appointed postmaster for this place. The
rumor turned out to be reality last Satur-
day night when Maj. Benbow received Of
fetal notice of his appointment and a blank
bond for him to have filed up. The
amount of bond to be given for this c&ce is
four thousand dollars, and the parties sign
ing it are to swear that they are worth over
and above all liabilities the sum Of eight
thousand dollars. The removal of the
present incumbent of the Office was q sur
prise to him, as he is under charges to be
heard in the coming term of the United
Stetes Court, and he had no idea that the
authorities would take action in the matter
before an opportunity to rindicate himself
was given, and especially after strong pc
tition had been sent asking the authorities
to retain him in the Office.
