makes a statement showing that
he has made a net profit af $125

H. T. Harllee on his first year’s
crop of fifteen acres made a net
profit of $700.
It will be seen from the above
that tobacco growing in South
Carolina is no longer an experi
ment, but a certainty, and it is
confidently predicted that in a
few years the tobacco industry
will spread over that entire sec
tion, and become the most re
munerative of the farmers’
crops.
The growers of North Caro
lina are anxious to hear from
Georgia, and will do what they
can to assist the farmers in this
important work. Tobacco grow
ing is little more than an ex
periment here as yet, but if the
interest in it does not wane we
are convinced that it will yet
become a great Georgia industry
which will enrich the farmers
and the State.

[New York Sun.)
A drayman had backed up to
a warehouse on Beckman street
to deliver a heavy box, and
the process of unloading halted
eight or ten pedestrians. Pretty
soon along came a rusty old
man with a very large cane and
a verv storm-beaten plug hat.
“What! What! A balky
horse, eh!” he chattered to him
self as he took in the situation.
No one answered him, and he
asked of a bystander;
“Have the expedients been
resorted to?”
“Duno.”
“Looks like an obstinate
brute, but I have a remedy. Al
ways works when other artifices
have been tried in vain. I sup
pose there will be no objection
to my trying it?”
“Duno.”
“Well, I’ll take it upon
self to start this beast,
see how easily it is done.”
He stepped to the horse’s j
head, pulled his left ear down
and blew
“I tell you,” said Mr. Schnad-
horst in the lobby of the House*
of Commons, “the political sit
uation in your district is some
thing to raise your hair when
you contemplate it.” “I think,”
said Sir Wilfrid Lawson, as he
took off his hat and disclosed his
bald head, “that I'll go off and
take a look at it.”—Pick Me Up.
