ment will meet with the cooperative
assistance on the part Of the farmers
that its importance deserves. Many
and varied have been the reasons given
for the upward strides that have been
made by the agricultural interests of
the country during the past seven or
eight years; but we have all along en-
tertained q belief that the nearest ap-
proach to the true reason was the gen.
eral awakening of the agricultural
classes to some Of the disadvantages
under which they had been laboring
for generations. There Is absolutely
no disputing the fact that the organ
lied efforts on the part Of the farmers
especially with reference to the holding
movement a few years ago, was used
by the Hayne- Brown combination
with tremendous effectiveness in rails
ing the price of cotton, no one will try
to deny either that all during that long
campaign the holding movement was
taken into serious consideration in all
the manipulations Of the cotton ex-
changes and spectators. The Union
was strong enough to have its way
and shrewd opponents wisely followed
a policy Of non-resistance, until the
farmers began to decrease their vigil
lance There are many reasons why
the farmers of the county should be
well and thoroughly organized, and no
good reasons why they should not act
together for their common interests.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

If the Associate Reformed congre-
cation carries out its plan and erects
such a church building as 1t has in
mind on the corner Of Congress and
Madison streets, there will be some
noticeable result in appreciation of the
value of surrounding property.
The Associate Reformed Presbyte-
rian congregation is going right along
with it's undertaking to erect a hand
some new church building. At a con-
gregational meeting held last Sunday
morning and presided over by Mr.. j.
F. McElwee, the congregation voted
unanimously to ratify and approve the
action Of the committee in the pur-
chase of the splendid lot on the corner
Of Congress and Madison streets from
Mrs. E. A. Crawford, and as chairman
of the meeting Mr.. McElwee was also
authorized and directed to appoint a
building committee of five and a
finance committee of six. The busi-
ness of the building committee will
be to select, present and decide upon
plans for the proposed new church
and the business of the finance COM
mittee will be to solicit subscriptions
for the purchase of the site and for
the building operations. The action
of the congregation in deciding to bu'
a handsome church has met with the
hearty and sympathetic approval Of
members of other congregations and
of the people generally, and there hav
already been a number of voluntary
tenders of subscriptions from different
outside sources. One of the most
noteworthy offers, probably was that Of
]. Hannabal Beatty, colored, who has
served the church as sexton, practical
ly ever since the erection of the pres
ent building in 1855. He approached
Mr.. McElwee the other day with the
information that he desired to contri-
butte $50 toward the erection of the
new building.

SoUND DOCTRINE.

Preachers preach the word year in
and year out; II Is the only course to
follow-to keep hammering away.
Newspapers should do the same thing.
People-a great many Of them-do not
stop to think. They make their living
out of the residents Of town, yet they
seem not to think that other people
should live; they buy everything they
can elsewhere, often from New York,
or other large cities, probably for the
"big Of the thing"
The Tradesman in a recent issue
prints some mighty good advice on this
subject, as applicable to Yorkville as
to any place:
I buy at home
Because my interests are here.
Because the community that Is good
enough for me to live In Is good enough
for me to buy in.
Because I believe in transacting bus
mess with my friends.
Because I want to see the goods.
Because I want to get what / buy
when I pay for 1t. =,
Because my home dealer carries"
me when I am run short.
Because every dollar spend at home
stays at home and helps work for the
welfare of the city.
Because the man buy from stands
hack of the goods.
Because l sell what I produce here
at home.
Because the man I buy from pays
his part Of the town, county and city
taxes.
Because the man I buy from gives
value received always.
Because the man I buy from helps
support my school, my church, my
lodge, my home.
Because, when ill-luck, misfortune or
bereavement comes, the man I buy
from is here with his kindly express
sions Of greeting, his words of cheer,
and his pocketbook, If needs be.
