From one of the best * known drummers traveling on the Illinois Central railroad, and ono who has been steadily iu the business for more than tweuty years, a Southern Press News correspondent has gleaned some interesting data rela tive to the condition oi the country. As strange as sotno people may think it, not a carioad of meat has been sold Ht either of the following § laces einco December : Holly pringa, Oxford, Water Valley,Wi nona, Durant, Lexington, Piokens, Terry, Crystal Springs, Summit, MoCotnb City, Magnolia and O syka. Not twenty per cent, of the meat has been purchased this year as heretofore, ne finds more food in the country than at any time since the war, and says, but for the old debts hanging over the people, they would be in better condition than at any time since that date. As an illustration of what the peo ple are doing, he cited the case of Sen Chambers, a worthy colored man living in Madison county, who had killed 5,000 pounds of pork during the past season, and a farm er named Staten, in Grenada, who killed 15,000 pounds, of which he sold 10,000 to the merchants of Gre nada. He thinks the low price of cotton and the high price of meat a God-send ; that something of the kind was necessary to teach the people they can and must make their corn and meat at homo.—Ex change. in JgÇm^SWIN^OFCARgU} for Wssk Ntrvcs.
