GRAHAM & 8l?ARK3. 06T" While wo always consider It a very deVcate and dangerous matter to volunteer advice to Farmers in the matter of holding or selling their cotton, it is gratifying to know that this year the financial coudition of our Farmers is so much better than for years past, they are enabled to withhold an important portion of the crop from market while prices arc depressed. This w# believe, is one of the beneficial results of the Alliance organization. The farmers will very soon discover that it is not politios nor legislative relief enactments they want to extricate them from their depressed condition, but organization, unity of action, helping each other, intelligence in cultivating and markotiDg their crops and buying 1 hoicwanlics, will do more, in ehort-j er lniio, ro matte fneitrprosperoas anfr mue^ pendent tban any man or men, or any legislation can accomplish. The more tho people of every exiling arc taught to depend upon their individual oxertions, nud tho less they arc taught to look to the government or any other source, for x-elief or assistance,'the more contented, industiious, prosperous and happy will they be. In eight cases out of ten, boys that are allowed to depend upon their parents for food and clothing, and not' Ijniffht In ri>l*r tinnn their own exertions in o ? ~ ""V -r? ?? ? ? ? secure a living, become poor, indolent and indifferent specimens of manhood. The same principle holds good in all stages of human life and all vacations. The dollar earned is valued higher than (he dollar given, particularly when you know lhat the next dollar must be earned before you can get it. m- We arc getting awfully scared.

Well, that is a prevalent disease since the election, and can only be cured by time, in some cases, but in chickens it can be cured in a few days by applying a solution of blue-stone to the diseased part every morning for perhaps a week. We chargo nothing for this "valuable recipe," but if any of our readers have any eggr, chickens and turkeys to sell wo will give them fair, "honest John" pricc3 for them. Wouldn't it be awful, if the Baptist Minis tcrs and Laymen went from the Convention ssi reported that they did aoi, see an egg, & chicken or a'urkry, -(on the Editor's table) in Union nil tho time they we.e here?nothing but bacon and greens.

While all around us nrc progressing in population, business enterprises and wealth, rod taking adeantage of our apathy to belitlo us and draw all the business they can rom us, our own people voluntarily play oto the hands of their enemies, by sending hem the patronage that should bo kopt imong them to cncourago home labor, home enterprise, homo people, and invito others lo "come over and help us." This is not a "dead town," unices the people determine to kill it, by dividing into ^^ffA^g^norhtng for tbo welfare of his neighbor, and none willing to make a sacrifice or risk a dollar for the general good. Not only that, (he (own is injuring its reputation ubroad, for sirangen seeing the business men sending theii work to be done in other towns, will assuredly arrive at one of two con elusions,t. e : sillier Union , is a very in significant plaoc, with no facilities for exe cuiing tbo most ordinary mechanical work her business men are so indifferent to th< success and prosperity of the industrial cn terprises of tho town that they send tlici patronage any and everywhere else.

Besides that, our population wou hove been largely increased, and there no tolling what other enterprises would hn keen established here. We hope the com pi tion of the Augusta Division of the Thn C's road will put new life into our peop and induce them to do something for tl advancement of the town before other loer ities along the line tako the wind out of oi sails. Now, fellow-citizens, cannot we get t f#&nut#*/udiees unito in doing somethit for the publio good ; something that will pi new life, new spirit and new hopes into tl hearts of nil classes and conditions of tl people? Again we lay, this is not a dead tow; but we cannot call it a very live town, nr in a few short months, when the trains c the new road commence to pass through i the pasacngors will call it a very sleep; althougli a very pretty town?a kind of ditdish place, handsome in outward nppea nnce, but scdly deficient in most of the cssei tials necessary to make it prosperous nn attractive to business and business men < Capital and enterprise. Gentlemen, it won't do to stand abot your stores complaining that nobody wi fight for tbe town, and your iotsrest in p?^ tioulnr, while you not only withhold "lit | sinews of war" from those who are really trj ing to fight fur you, but are actually givin "aid and comfort" to those who care notl ing for you and do nil in their power to crii pie tlio progress of tlio town.

There was a little friction h*t the Alliance ben ro the primary eleoiion, but ainoe then wo have been running togelier smoothly in the same groove, And believing in the nob'c objects of the order, we are anxious to help the Alliance all we cm in its great end boucficient work, and again offer one or two columns of tlio Tim us to the County Alliance for tho promulgation and defence of Alliance principles.
