Oct 22.?We are nearing tbe last round of our gathering, and tbe returns justify our previous predictions of a crop. Already a Ciovaes for bands for o<>xt year is beiog made at fancy wages, but the tendency is to go themselves next year. Labor in tbis country is always in demand and gets aa good wages as the price of our staple crops will warrant How different it is io the North where it is cootroled to almost a starv? ing point until it burst forth io strikes aod mobs in self defense I notice tbat several people about here have treated themselves to new buggies. Tbis shows tbe financial condition of our people is improving, for as a class, 'hey are too honest to spend money tbat way, and owe it even if it looks bo "toney" to ride in a new vehicle. I notice some of tbe new buggies bave springs like tbe ones of long ago. We may bave tbe old cart aod the bigb old gig back again History sometimes repeats itself and old ways aod thiogs sometimes bave proved to he the best after all, like a fellow who runs over tbe world to find a more happy place than home, has returned to find tbat borne is the best.
