Editor : i l certainly presents pre-sents a melancholy sight to see the bins of this urinary of I tab comparatively compara-tively empty. The grasshoppers have been the great eonsunr'is, who, like some of our people, are non-producers. What will revive thW county is hard to coniecture: the reat want is bread-stuffs, bread-stuffs, which, if no way opens for em-j em-j pluyment here, by which it can be. ob-I ob-I tained, these needy sons of soil and toil 'Unst look for it somewhere else. I If it were possible to start some I .ivat scheme of co-operative enterprise . hat would open up an export trade: .living a cash credit east, we might "hus employ the many who say, "(live ' ,i labor !" Such enterprises are feasi-j feasi-j a:.id within the province of enlarged j cess, and are inviting to the most caked and ambitious speculator. Descending from the clouds lined with silver, to the daily demand of good table butter, how much we see the need of a co-operative butter factory, fac-tory, whose stamp would be a guarantee guaran-tee of a genuine good article. Instead of this we have tho varied couiplex-ioned couiplex-ioned article offered at prices highly remunerative to the producer, to say nothing of its flavor to the consumer. One feature of improvement here is our mail outlir, under J. :. Wheeler, the new contractor. The accommodations accommoda-tions and time made are both excellent. Increased mail facilities are certainly needed, and with the knov, n liberality of the P. 0. Department, wc have hope for still greater accommodation in answer to the prayers of the people. Vour excellent sheets would find a much larger subscription list if, in these days of eager inquiries tor news, we were more frequently supplied. The southern mail is fairly up to the time of the fullest requirements, and worthy of the patronage it receives. Corn, potatoes and peas will form staple articles of consumption for the people of this county. Very respectfuliv, .Data. |
