0 d ard ed to sident Union, light on ris says r his per -a middle a county not n who got so uld not give a een giving liens i n years, and had I le to get anything 1ly he began to fall < found it impossible, wing family of small to get along, although e and the children who j ld enough worked in the with him. Two years ago i merchant who had been ishing him for so long de ed to run him longer. "No" the merchant, "You have lien behind now for two years, d I do not care to handle your account again. 1 You do not owe me a great deal, but I am will ing to square off. Bnt you must get some other merchant to run you this year." The man tried other mer chants for a lien, but failed. The other merchants it seemed, know that the man had not S-been able for two years to ful ienliatos.and knew athis was why the other merchants had dropped him. The man went home to his wife and children in the deepest dejection. He told his troubles, and then his wife counseled him. "You must hire out as a day laborer," she said, "and I will stay home with the children idwe will try to make a little crop. You must send us or bring us your weges for us to live on. It is a bad arrange ment, but it is the best we can do." The man got a job in a saw mill, and, his wife and children stayed on the farn. The man sent his weges home, and the wife lived on them, while she c and the children worked a small crop. This was no great hard ship on them, for they had been Tv-orking in the field before. At the end of the year the man did not owe a dollar. His wife and children had made five bales of cotton and over a hun- I dred bushels of corn, about t seventy-five bushels of peas, be- I sides potatoes, etc., and they had two large hogs to kill. They 1 were in better circumstances I than ever before. The man is an illiterate, he ] cannot read and write, and he j had never had much ambition. But the accumulation of so much wealth in one year has changed his views of things. He has commenced sending his children to school; he had never felt able to do so before. He. has enough supplies to run him this year, with money ahead, r and he considers that his fortune is as good as made. f The man says that the best' thing that ever happened to him R in his life was when he got too r poor to be able to give a lien, a He got his nose away from the ' grindstone, and he began to see i the world, if he had been able to give a lien last year he would I still be in a net, and his chil- I dren would still be growing up n in ignorance.

"" Writes From Liberty. We have been having some )al March weather already, s well as spring and winter-like 1 one week. Two frosty morn igs, one thunder-storm, two ery windy days and the back iountaids white with snow ree days, Now it is calm and arm, peach and plum and >me pear trees are beginning > bloom, the birds sing, doves oo and the frogs hollow and ie busy bee sallys forth and in estigates the fresh blooms. Oat sowing was again cut hiort by thunder showers; there as perhaps never been as much iuall grain sown as has been 1is winter, and the land was enerally better 'prepared than sual and the crops are looking Tell. The farmers are learning lowly but surely that cotton is ing, with whoat and oat bins, rn cribs and smoke houses 000 miles from home. When re learn to supply our own hog and hominy", horses iules and cows on our own arms first, then what cotton re can after this is done, then he south-land will be the gar en spot of North America. The farmer can hold or sell is cotton as the market will in is judgement justify him, for hen he can roll out from under he Imortgage system now so ommon, forces the cotton crop n the market all at one season, r in three months, conjesting hings. It is like the story we tave heard: Say it takes 15 iushels of corn to fatten a hog 'a man that would take the 15 ushels of corn and dump all in o his hog at one time and turn ff with a lazy air of indiffer nce, saying, now fatten, blame Iou" would be called a fool of he first magnitude and properly o. The same applies to our resent system of marketing our :otton. -Why not string the nortgages and accounts out for he entire 12 months instead of he present systeni of making al due in the three fall months, )etter still "live at home" and nake our living there and leave ff the mortgages, come out on Scash basis and we will begin o live at home as we did before >ef ore the war, we will then :now where we are at and can ook each other square in the ace.
