viz: what 1nducement Can We Offer
Young Men to Remain on the Farm He
contended that the greatest inducement to
keep them on the farm was to make farm
life success. In the general discussion
that followed some m ambers expressed the
opinion that young men ought to be given
an interest in the farm in order TO make
them remain upon 1t, and others were of
the belief that the reason why SO many
young men deserted the farm was because
they were brought up with the idea that
farming was improbable. Under the head
OF miscellaneous business Mr.. d. NJ. Mes
bit offered the following resolution, which
was Unanimously adopted: Resolved. That

Secretary Morton on the stand he has
taken in abolishing that hoary abuse. the

able entertainment Friday evening. Music
Of fine order was rendered. followed by
recitations. which were very well delivered.

improvement in this very thriving and
promising community. The large attend

From the Chicago Record
Az editor was a man of influence In those
days. but the editorial style Of doing things
has improved in many respects since then.
Take, for instance, the way in which sub
scriptions to the paper are discontinued.
In Erownlow's time the ceremony seems to
have been vs~y elaborate. In his issue of
February 10. 1880, l find published long
letter, in which a South Carolina sub
scriber orders his PAPER stopped and kindly
gives his reasons for so doing. The open
ing passage in the letter reads as follows:
.I wrote to you a few days ago under the
signature of IT. ]. c. and informed you
that you were the greatest liar out of hell
and the most infamous scoundr Ell living be-
tween heaven and earth. and / then told
you and now repeat that nothing would
afford me much pleasure as to see you
in Abhinville where we could treat you to
a coat of tar and feathers"
Immediately following this courteous and
gentle remonstrance the editor prints this
touching rejoinder:
'T am not ignorant of the deadly opposi-
ton to me in South Carolina, and more
especially from the BLACKBOARD portion Of
her citizens, of whom you are a fit repre-
sentative. I expect that the walls OF CON
tumely, reproach and defamation will be
poured upon me by a hireiing press of a
corrupt and plundering southern confed-
eracy, by the insolvent bullies, hardened
liars and vulgar cutthroats whose only am
bition is to serve MS tools under an arro-
giant and hateful pack Of aristocratic lead
ers"
subscription to Brownlow's paper was
discontinued. 1t was certainly interesting,
but 1t must have been tiresome to have to
repeat the ceremony SO often.
