Avek’s Aoue Cure thoroughly hradicates these noxious poisons from the system, and always cures the severest case*. It contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing that could injure the most delicate pa tient; and its crowning excellence, above its certainty td cure, is that it leaves ths system as" attack.

The uVorage sale pilee, at interior points of the South, of the crop of 1879 will have been probably about 11(*U 1 2c., re allzlnor clear returns to the farmers of S10 to §11 per acre, above all expenses rf cultivation. Then having had last vear an urea of about 12,000,000 acres In cotton, the people of the South did unquestionably make about $130,000, 000 clear profit from the cultivation of this staple. While these ftefa are no. !• fw useless to advise Southern farm ers against planting cotton. The farmers themselves know better, It is to theintereet of the South that her farmers should make as much cotton as ihey can. There is, at this time, no more fallacious theory, than that which maintains that small crops are essential to the maintenance of piicce. The writer has always h*ld and expressed the opinion, since 1806 that it was to t he interest of the South to produce large cotton crops; that her capacity to do so was almost nn limited, and by the year 11900, crops of 20,000,000 bales per annum would be produced, and not thought extra ordinary; and that the consumption would keep so much ahead of the production, that on an average, proflt- nbl* prices would always be by the farmers. The world can use much more cotton than some persons think; and at the present time, al though the crops of the past two years have been the largest ever produced, the manufacturers of Europe; will not be able to obtain enough of the raw material to satisfy their wants from now until the arrival of the new crop of 1880. The increase of cotton marketed be tween September, 1878, and same date of 1880, will have been about 12 per cent, more than for the previous two years; but the increase in thf con sumption will have been about 20 per cent, for the same period. This posi tion has already had such effect, that at this moment, there is decrease tn the visible supply to Europe of 300,000 bales; and by October this deficit will have assumed such large proportions, as will be alarming to manufacturers The stock on hand in America is about 286,000 bales to oxcegg of, that of. last year, at the aama time; but, uqder the unprecedented activity of the manu facturing toterejels wo think that near ly aR orth is excess wtlt be consumed at home as the exports to Europe, from now until September will be probably about the same, as that for the corresponding period of 1879. The consumption of Europe and America for 1880 to 1881 promises to be so large, and sb much in excess of that of past years, that a much larger supply of cotton will be required, and an increase in the crop of this year of 1,000,000 bales over that of 1879 will not depress prices.. The farmers have every reason to elfpect a proeperou* year, if the peace of Europe is main tained throughout 1880; and they will probably obtain good prices for their cotton crops. If, however, there should be war between any of the great powers, the price of cotton would decline very considerably from its present value. A. E. F. We have known some young ladies by no rpe&jris leas’, the gallant' young men, ever ready to extend tbe gentle manly courtesleA to a stranger. When I eay that t whS favorably Impressed, moan that I waa much pleased with your people, and hope Soon to pay them another vkit.

Jim Blake was shot dead in his own doorway by Antonio Gueido, and the trial was to come off directly. Intercat in the affair was due less ta ttle murder, (hau to the fact that this was the flist case tried at Ban Saba in any more formal court than tbe time-honored iuetltutloo of Judge Lynch. Jim bad beeoaquietmananda good ne|ghbor,so public sentiment ran high agalust Antonio. If the general iuclioa'ion had been followed tbe last named geuiit-inaa would have found scant opportunity to make any re marks in his own behalf. However, tniogs were advancing at realized j Hau tiaba and it wouldn’t do to hang Antonio without a regular trial, no maHef bow agreeable »'>ch a proceed ing might be to the people at large. 8o ran the opinion expressed by Judge Bilbaldo, who se ideas on such subjects were usually accepted with out comment , Nevertheless th:re was tnofo than one dicsenter tovthe present instatree, to whom It was by no means clear that there could be any sense or proflt to thus beating about the bush. -Ef Antonio’s goto ter be hung, why don’t we hang him?” This was the query of Jake Smith, the leader of the opposing faction, and hiavlewof the question put It In so clear a light that the judge had great diffleulity in impreasiog people with his conviction. He said that things had gone on in an irregular way long enough; and hero was a way to start the law in ptoperly, and give It a fair ahow.
