* ' ,i r iiniPi if.Tii fi i -in if ' | ike Press and Banner By Iliiffh Wilson. Wednesday, Jan. 7, 1885. Sale Day. Last Monday was an Inclement day, with cold winds ahd frequent shower*. The preceding rains, together with ttiesho,rersof that liny, made our public square more muddy tlmn we have ever before seen It, and owing to the hud weather ninny persons were prevented from coming to town. The lands which were so'.d lironght discouraging figure*-, and nearly all the mi vei'tUed sales were postponed. The Master sold a few tracts, but the sale of by far the greater amount of the properly which he was to sell, was postponed until next Fall. The .Sheriff sold nest to nothing, and the sales of the Probate Judge were light. The farmers with whom we talked seemed In good spirits, and the majority of them will po to work with greater energy and a greater determination than ever to succeed. The laborers, as a role, seem Inclined more than ever to hlro for money wages, rather than for part of the crop, ntul In some Instan. es higher wnses have beeu demanded, with slight concessions. If we are to Judge of the whole by the expressions of a few. the area in upland corn Will be greatly Increased tills spring. If thls| crop Ik n.anted early In March, tlie probability Is, that a fairyleld will t>e the reward. The following sales were made by the Master on last Monday: Lands of estate of Thomas Thomson, sold tn the following tracts and parcels: Damn tlon tract, 1,000 acre*, more or less. In three tract,*. Tract No. I, 3S7 acres. J. W. Thomson purchaser, tor $2,709. Tract No. 2. 3S4 acres, S. (?. Thomson purchaser, for $1,9.1). Tract No. 3.170% acre*, S. G. Thomson purchaser, for $5.}"> per acre. Also, the Cannon tract, containing 21rtacres. more or le*;', bounded ? >* Enoch Nelson, Dr. Drennanand others. T. I*. Thomson purchaser, for Sl.'GO. Also, the Little Mountain tract, containing 200 acre*. more or less, bounded by Enoch Nelpod, I)r. Drennan and others. T. P. Thomson purchaser, for $160. Also, the C <bb lot on Rlue Hill, containing 4 acres, more or less, with building thereon, tMiuuded by I). It. Smith. B. S. Barnwell, and Mrs S. M.Calhoun. 8. G. Thomson purchaser. for 1213. Also, an Interest of three feet In the alley between the Central Hotel and the store of Cunningham A Tempk-ton. S. ti. Thomson purchaser. (or $4s.2*>. ljuid of George Nlcklcs, deceased, 200 acres, more or less, and bounded i>y lauds of J. A. Kills. J. F. Keller und others. J. A. Ellis, purchaser. for $300. Land of Hobert N, Pratt, S acres more or loss, and the Flour and Corn mills thereon, bounded by lands of Ito?>ert Pratt on all sides. W. C. MoGowan purchaser. Tor S200. The Mh**rltl made the following sale : I-aiid of A. M. Aunew, its acres, more or less, bounded t>y lands of M. B. McGee, Susan Klley and others. M. L. Hl^gins purchaser. Tor Ij.UO. Onr Farmer*. While there is some complaint of hard times, we pie?ume there Is not moreofdlsmiiriicremcnt Mils vpiir than Is usual at this Reason. While many of our farmers h?ve In* ' sufficient .quantities of foe: J supplb-s, yet the low price at wlilch thc<e commodities are offered, f r cash or on credit, imwx far t<? enable oar people to look forward h(>i>efully to the vrork ol another year. The hard times will teach at least some of our farmers the importance of planting mo e grain than (hey have < heretofore done, and In this way our short crop* and the consequent hanl times maybe , a blessing rather than a misfortune. Soon after the war ihe price ol cotton was so high, and the profits on nil>ing It wa? so seductive, that the great ma?s of our planters yielded to the temptation to raise big cotton crops mid many of them seem not to realise the fact that cotton Is now raised ?t ? .small j' margin, and he who un<iertak>s to make the cotton <-rop by securn^r provisions from tiie J ato.es is a'most sure to be the loser I One of the wotii features of the i len system, (i Is the consequent habil which lal*>rers have'' fanned of not working on Saturdays?no mat-;i ter how gre it Ihe need !orthei> presence on the farm. Another great drawback to the far-1 iner which i? chargeable to the credit syslem,! is the iosHof time in u'olng to the store* for provisions in ttie bu.-leet weeks in the year. II With our cxpc'-'l.-nce and observation, we would si ve it as our opinion that any farmer *no plants his c<irn early in March, can make his own provisions cheaper tlian he cmti go to tlie stores for theui?even If the merchant dispensed them to the needy free of all1' Charge. It is not the price which the farmer 11 pays forhlscorn that hurts. It is the losa oflj time in coiug for it that ruins him.

From the immense stocks of corn, which have been laid in by our merchants it is evident that they expect un early advance in the price of the grain. It is said thai we have enough corn stored In town to supply every demand for three months to come. liSAP YkarIr gone, but the loveliness of IS* girls did not leave with It.

Customers need not stay awav from the store on thet account, as a full corps of clerks stand ready to wait on them, and serve them with the best and cheapest goods In the market. The attention of ourcitizens Is called to the fact that returns to the town council must be made on or bctore tlie first day of February next.

This demand and concession being made perhaps because of the depnrture of a nninlier of 'altorers, atld because of n trea'er number of prosperous citizens, who feel disposed to push the farming business with greater energy than ever before.

In 1KTM. the closing year of the lust depression, there were 10..j00 laitiires. wlih fftu.000,000 or liabilities. With nil the weak concerns weeded out by the terrible strain of 1?78, times improved In 1879, and there were In that year only fi,W2 failures, Wilh liabilities of $48,!HW.fHKl." and the Globe does not hesitate to state Its belief, founded on careful examinations and comparisons, that the new year on which wo emen d the other day, is lo be, like 1">79, ono of marked prosperity. This Is the proper way to look at It, and merchants and farmers who have been made wise by experience, will aid the good time coming by taking cheerful instead of gloomy j vlfws of the next season.
