Address G. K. Browning, Biloxi,
miss. tf
Ilero is an encotiring item from the
Mobile Graphic : a"Sotne people can
not understand why it is that the
residents of tbe Southern States are
so crippled financially. Let thorn
ponder over two facts, and then they
will see more clearly. Georgia alone
paid $24,000,000 for grain, meat,
flour, meal, horses and mules, in 1873,
and Alabama about $18,000,000.
That's what went with the money.
It will not be so again. The amount
this year has already been reduced
to about $10,000,000, and in Alabama
to $8,600,000, and but for the one
item of meat neither State will l ave
occasion to spend more than $5,000,
000 for subsistance next year.1
Wet Boots. The ' Agncultuiist
gives the foilowiug advice to farmers
who, next to fishermen, are apt to get
their boots wet through :
"When the boots are taken off, fill
thutn quite full with dry oats. This
grain has a great fondness f r damp,
ill rapidly absorb the last vestige of
it from tbe wet leather. As St takes
up the moisture it swells and fills the
boot with a tightly fitting last, keep
ing its form good, and drying the
leatbor without hardening it,
"In tha morning, shake out the oats
and hang them in a bg near the fire
to drj, read for the next wet night,
draw on tbe boots, and go happily
about the next day's work."
Just as the minister was immers
ing a colored convert near Bangor,
ately, he choir broke out :
"Tha Boraing lieht is braaktna,
Tba darks Haappaara."

WilKin the past two years, labor
has become, to a gre.it ex'ent, settled
in the State, and -killi'd luborers in
the (iulii and pardon cmi be secured
at iJoin ten to ttltotn dollars per
month nnri bonrd. 1 lie central
portion of tho Stato is bfst adapted
to both curden and held products ;
the lands in the great prairie belt of
Eastern Mifsissippi, nnd those com
prising tho.bottoni lundfi ol the Mi
Hissippi, on the west, being more pir
ticulurly adapted lo coin and cotton
while the lighter soils, contiguous to
both these sections, produce every
variety of fruit and vegetables, and
in tho greatest perfection.
The commercial affairs of the State
arc in a most satisfactory condition,
the effect of the panic ot 1873, having
almost entirely passed away. It is a
eu i rent remark that the present crop
will bo raised at the least expense of
any since the war, for the merchants,
warned by the experience or tbe past
years, ana tue disasters ol 1873,
would not ' advance ou this year's
crop, save to a very limited extent
1 lie beneficial effect of this refusal to
allow the planters to run uo bills to
be paid for when tho corn is market
ed, is already manifest in tho air of
confidence which now everywhere
accompanies tho formerly depressed
agriculturist.
riiere is no political disturbance,
save a local troublo at Vicksburg in
regard to tbe city election, and even
(hat has nearly died out, lor people
are too busy in their agricultural and
commercial matters to. pile, any luel
on the flame. I bud Northern men
everywhere, and they are all prosper
ous that is those who are engaged
in business.
An interest that is destined to add
immensely to the wealth of the State,
and one that is that attracting much
capital, both from the North, and
from foreign countries, is the lumber
trade. The wholo southern portion
of the State, some 10,000 tiquarc
miles in extent, is an almost unbroken
forest of Bplendid yellow pine on the
uplands, while on the streams, are
found oak, hickory and 2yprass. At
Pascagoula. near the Gulf of Mexico,
and ia tbe southeast portion of the
State, are some of the largest saw
mills in the South. The lumber pre
pared here, amounts in value to over
two and onHialf millions of dollars
annually, and it is largsly shipped to
tbe West Indies, and even to Europe,
South America and Mexico.

An effectual method of cooperation
would be for each Grungo to offer ono

To Patrons of Husbandry.
Dear btiithrri and tvtcrt: Anxious
for the relormaton of our oncebappy
Stato, I st inypelf this morning to
drop you a few lines for your consiJ
eralion, aod hope you may glean a
few word of consolation therefrom.
When I reflect how many there
are whose faith in just principles has
been slnken, and whore minds have
fullen a prey to the wiloa of specula
tion ; and, moreover, when I remom
ber that so many of the young and
promising rank among tho victims of
this moral contagion, I cannot but
I I a 1 a
ieei an earnest uesiro to become en
instrument of good to a portion of
my fallow-citizens. Oh, that my
brothers nnd sisters would help
me lo speak a word iu their behalf,
with all the zeal for our salvation to
which they can give nttcrauce I I
would make (ho appeal to your judg
ment and conscience. Let me be
speak your candor. , As I am con
scious of no motive but a desire to
honor our cause, I am anxious to see
the wrongs iu our midst eradicated,
and I know of no better way than
lor us as Patrons to lay our shoulder
to the lever and push forward. Our
motto is onward and upward, not
backward. No crawfishing in the
game ; such will do for speculators
and swindlers. Farmers all over the
land musl come iu one united band,
laying aside wars and rumors of wa s,
and be as truo Patrons. , Let us love
one another without murmuring, lor
bigotry has uo feeling, persecution
no resting place'. S. A. L.
Caldwell Parish, Aug. 30. 1874.
Discolored Yellow Pinb. Spot
ting or staiuing of pine sheetintr, "is
owing to tho boards being laid too
close upon one another during the
warm season of of the year. Experi
ence proves that iu the storing of wood
little care need be taken in the winter,
season when nature is at rest ; but as
spring comes and vegetation in the
words of of Thomas Hood puts on
"its furniture of green," the greatest
care is needed Wood which, though
dead to all appearance, is ttill alive
to vegetation iu its lowest form in
warmth and moistare, will cause a
fallen tree to sprout sprigs ot leaves
from its bark, and, failing this, fungi
ill most certainly germinate. Wood
denuded of it bark takes the latter
form, hence discoloration ol sapwood,
spotting, staining, and dry-rot; in
these cases it is literally forming food
for other forms of vegetation, and, if
not arrested by intercourse with dry
air, will sap its veriest vitals and
"leave but a wreck behind." In the
case in point, tbe spread of the fupgi
ould cease upou the boards being
removed from contact with each
other ; bat the damage wrought is not
easily effaced. If tbe roots have not
struck too di-ep into tbe wood, tbe
discoloration may be reaoved by
retaoitg the boards, but, if other
wise, it may safely be taken there is
o possible remedy. -Cor. of Building

A farrnar doal in; orin the aWe
apecified bitaw. can purchase sv
eiit-fjv) percent of bis supplies
direct from the rotlucer at m low
rates aa hi merchant doea, which
amounts to five hundred dollars
per annum. The savinir, of twenty
vo rcr cent per ancum on that
amount, with interest added, in a
usiness ot seven years, amounts
to one thousand and eighty-five
wllurs. By recapitulating this
calculation, we find that the farm
er dealing under the presnt system
has lost during the past seven
years the sura ot $2,80-3.32. Bv
paying cash, at a urofit of twentv
live per cent, will save $1,133.18.
By buying seventy-five per cent of
hia supplies direct from the Dro
due er, will save in seven
years $1,085. Amount total of
osses in seven years. $5,111.51.
Thus it is shown that the honest
farmer, who had the capaeitv to es
timate ms aDiiuy to meet his lm
bilities when due, and who needed
annually one thousand dollars
worth of supplies, which cost the
merchant six hundred and si?tty
aoiii-rs and sixty-six and two,
thirds ceuta, has actually lost dtir
in? the past seven years tho sum
ot five thousand one hundred and
eleven dollars and fifty-one cents.
Advice to Patrons-
Hon. Jas. B. Beck, a Kentucky
Congressman, made a speech to the
Grangers, at a barbecue in his State,
recently, when he took occasion to
give them this advice : "The
Grangors have it in their power
without departing from their deter
mination to exclude politics from
their organization, to do tho coantry
more service, than they are, perhaps,
aware of, simply bv resolving not to
vote tor any man for Congress or the
State Legislatures who is in any way
connected with any of the great cor
porations or organizations which are
seeking special legislation or exclus
ive privileges. It is impossible to
have just and honest legislation, State
or Federal, so long as representatives
are sent who owe their election to, or
are personally interested in, west
moneyed corporations or monopolies

The first Grange was organized on
