‘•The itinerant wheel in its revo-

remember with pleasure onr sojourn
at Florence, which was a year of
prosperity to the Church. Thirty-
two members were added to the

the dependence which one reason

ifourth reason ia a moat impartaat
'one, and if the writer will govern
himself by the eighth reason, for
this year, we have no doubt but
that bis opinions will greatly change
ia the aext leu moetba. We do
not know the writer of the met
chants he d4a)s with, as we do not
find bis name on oar mailing list,
hut hope he will have, batter look
tie the future. Our own experieaee
has beta that it Is best to petronlrs
home merbhsnts. We get belter
prices, know exactly what we fat
get wkat we want when we want

have oaSh, we spend It with home
merchants; in Spring and pi
;' : Wcr when cash ia not, if we need
credit we got it at home. The home
rale works ta the advantagajof both
merchant and buyer, and in most
oases to the greater advantage of
the buyer. Under the genera
credit ayatem ia use in tbie county,
• there are say, fonr cash months and
eight ofedit months. The merchant
expects to sell enough for cash
daring .the four mouths to enable
Urn to give credit for eignt. If the
eash trade In all sent to another
’'market, wbat Is the borne merchant
to do when the “from home” cash
man has sold all his cotton and
wants orsdit. As to the prices of
fertiliser spokes of we, of ooutae,
do not know the circumstances, aud
ao cannot give oar J. W. any dots.
Wa can say this much to him.
Bead tba eighth reason oarcfnlly,
read the names of merohants adver
tising, take his cash or securities
with him, aud if we are not badly
mistaken, be can get hia Fertilisers
at home for the sam« or less tb.tn
ha oan of a “from home” merchant.
No dtineo ean live proeperaonsly,
unless others surrounding are pros
peroqs. Small patronage make
dead trade, dead trade makes dead
towM, dead towns make high prices
from lack of competition, and high
prices ruin the farmers.

The Cstton Tax
A bill to return! the cotton tax
collected on cotton from 1863 to
1868, has agam been introduced in
Cougrens. The bill appropriates
about 888,000,060 for thi* purpose.
The bill provides that the ujonet
shall lie paid to tbe States, ami (he
States iu turn apportion the amount
to Hitch individuals as are entitled
to it; and all monies not claimed
by the produceis within a rea*o i
abl<- time shall be retained by the
State to become a permanent free
school fund. Not a cent of the
money is to Ins u*ed for any other
pur|H>se. The right of reclaiming
ouch taxes is declared by the bill to
be of a personal nature, aud thr
States are expressly prohibited from
reimbursing suy assignee. The
dans directed against the s|iecula

tbe clause looking to a free school
fund, are relied on to give the bill
a better ohatice.—Ex.
