wages become UNNECESSARILY better
than no wages at all. Now, if the
men of this country we're less indie
pendent, or if we had beggar class,
as most European countries do have,
and made so by lack of employ
ment, then the condition of this
country would sink to a level with
the conditions which obtain abroad.
But we do not want such conditions

keeping pace with neighboring
counties?
If The Union is discontinued,
all the county, the city, and some
other advertising will have to be
done in some other paper and the
money expended for the same will
go out of our county.
Now then, if we can receive the
names of eco persons who will
pay their 81 so in Cash, or other
pay at Cash rates, upon receipt of
the first copy of Volume Eleven,
and, guarantee from the business
men and merchants that we shall
have respectable advertising
patronage, then We will consent to
run The Union another year and
add another column to each page,
making it a five column instead of
4 column paper.
Postmasters and others can ma
terlally aid the cause by receiving
the names and forwarding to this
office and if we continue The Union
we will allow them commission
Of 10 per cent on lists from 10
down; 10 per cent for clubs of ii
to 20; and 20 per cent on clubs
over 20 in number, but if we do
not receive list large enough to
guarantee our continuing, we will
say thank YOU for your trouble.
Let the Postmasters, Bishops,
and Leading men throughout the
county, consider these items and
extend a helping hand, if they
deem it wisdom to have periodi-
cal In the county to represent our
resources, &c, and forward names
to this office as soon as possible,
SO we will know what arrangements
to make; but il you don't acant
dny paper! then we will discontin-
NE The UNION and go at something
that will yield a larger income.

Feed the Land and It viii Feed You.

Feed the Land and 1t viii Feed You.
The Importance of having the
greatest possible quantity Of manure
is generally understood by farmers,
even when they fail to give proper
attention to the matter. Every
crop taken from the land, every
pound of meat sold from the farm,
represents an aSCertained amount Of
fertility withdrawn. And none VIII
deny that we can not CON
tinue to draw from the
soil without making return
any more than we can draw on the
bank without making deposits. The
best blooded COW ever stabbed could
not furnished rich milk upon a diet
Of straw.
Now the bank that never fails and
can not be broken, is Nature, and if
we make the necessary deposits Of
tertllzlng matter into the soil we
can be sure of getting baci, the
principal with good interest. A good
crop of wheat-say IS bushels-has
taken out of the soil in the form of
straw about I6 lbs. nitrogen, 23.2 lbs.
potash and 1914 lbs. of phosphoric
acid; in the form of grain p lbs.
nitrogen, 81 lbs. potash and IL lbs.
phosphoric acid; making a total
drain of 43 lbs. nitrogen, 31.3 lbs.
potash and IA lbs. phoshoric acid.
1t will take three tons Of good I'M
leached barnyard manure to restore
those elements to the soil. Our
richest soils can not endure such
drains for many years without show
ing it. Our uplands have to great
extent been SO impoverished that it
will cost the value Of the land to re-
store them to their original vigor,
and our wonderful bottoms, although
frequently enriched by floods and
clover, do not yield as heavy as
when they were new. When farmers
pay as much attention to raising the
the highest quantity of manure of
highest quality, it will be compare
lively easy matter to raise premium
crops. Feed your land and it will
feed you.-Agrlcutural Epitomist.

KEY WEST, May 21.-Nearly four hum

quantity of arms and ammunition, sailed
on the steamer Florida on the night of
May u and landed. The expedition was IN

Gen. Sanguily's return TO Cuba Is a re-
markable Incident in his extraordinary
career. His gallant services in the ten
years war: his arrest in Havana at the
beginning Of the present insurrection: his
sentence 10 death and his release at the
interoession OF Secretary Sherman on a
promise to remain outside OF Cuba, has
made him a conspicuous man.
