LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY, INBIANA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 1877.

A HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL. ~ Mr. John Somers was a merchant, doing business in a thriving country village. He had two clerks in his employ, both of them faithful and industrious; but with some difference in minor points of character. ! QOde day Mr, Somers called the two young men into his counting-room and closed the door after them. His countenance looked troubled, and it was some moments before he spoke. ~ “Boys,” he said, at length, “I have been doing a very foolish thing. I have lent my name to those I thought my friends, and they have ruined me. I owe you about a hundred dollars each. Now I have just oné hundred dollars in money, and the small pieces of land on the side of the hill just back of the townhouse. There are four acres of this land, and I have been offered a hundred dollars for if, repeatedly, by those who have land adjoining. 1f I could pay you bothin money 1 would, but as I cannot, one of yeu must take this land. What say you? You, Walter, have been gvith me the longest, and you shall say reE .

- Walter Sturgis hesitated some moments, and he said: : “I'm sure I don’t want the land, unless I could sell it right off.” ( “Ah, but that won’t de,” returned Mr. Somers. “If you take the land you must keep it. Were you to sell it, my creditors would say at once that you-did it for me! and I pocketed the money.” ey “Then it is easily settled,” rejoined Peter, “for I should prefer the land.” Walter was pleased with this, and before night he had the hundred-dol-lar bill in his pocket, and Peter had the warrantee deed of the four acres of land upon the hillgide. Peter White’s first object, after having got the deed of his land, ‘was to hunt up some kind of work. A whole week he searched in vain for employment, but at the end of that time he found an old- farmer who wanted a hand, though he could not afford to pay much. But Peter, finally, and with the advice of Mr. Somers, made an arrangement of this. kind: He wounld work for' the old farmer (Mr. Stevens) steadily until®the ground was open, and then he should have half the time to devote upon his own land, and, in part payment for his servifes, Stevens was to help him about all the ox work that the youth might need. e aal

~ Peter now worked early and late, and much of the time he had help. The first thing he planted was about a quarter of an acre of . watermelons. He then got in some early gardea sauce—such as potatoes, sweet corn, peas, beans, radishes, cucumbers, tomatoes and so on. ‘And he got his whole piece worked up. and planted before Stevens’ farm' was free from: SNOW. : '

~ He then planted an acre of corn, an acre of potatoes and the rest he had divided among all sorts of produce. Then he went to work for. Stevens again, and in a few weeks he had more than paid for all the labor he had been obliged to hire on his own land: ' o 5 : : In the meantime, again, Walter Sturgis had been looking after employment. - His hundred dollars were used and he accepted a place in the village, at a salary of three hundred dollars‘a year. Peter used to be invited to all the little parties when he was a clerk, but Le was not invited now. Walter Sturgis went to these parties, and he was highly edified by them. When Peter was a clerk, there were several handsome damsels who loved to bask in the sunlight of his smiles, and one of them he fancied he loved. After he had ,got his :lallside planted, he went to see Cordelia Henderson, and he asked her if she would become his wife at some future period when he was prepared to take such an article to his home.: Three days afterwagl he received a letter from her, in which she stated that she could not think of uniting her destinies with a-man who could only delve in the earth for a livelihood. Peter shed a few tears over the unexpected note, and finally blessed his fate, for he was sure that such a girl was not what he needed for a wife, . ; 2 : On the first of the next November ‘he had-cleared seven hundred dollars for the season over and above expeNses; . o N One morning after the crops were all in Peter found a man walking about over the land, and as the young man came up the stranger asked him who owned the hillside. a

«It is mine, sir,” replied Peter, The man looked about, and then went away, and the next day he came with two others. They looked over the place, and they seemed to be dividing it off ‘into small lots. They remained about an hour and then went away. | On the next morning Peter went out upon his land, and as he reached the upper boundary and turned and looked down, the truth flashed upon him, -His hillside had- a gentle, easy slope, and the view from any part of it was delightful. A brook ran down through it, from an exhaustless spring up in the ledge, and the locality would be cool and agreeable in summer and warm in winter. At the foot of the hill, to the -left, lay a small lake, while the river ran in sight for several miles. W :

~ “Of course,” sollloquized Peter, “they think this would make beautiful _building spots. -And wouldn’t it? - Curious that T never thought of it belfore. And then when the railroad comes here, people from the city want their dwellings here. But this land is valuable. It is worth—let me see—say six hundred dollars a year. I can -easily get eight or nine hundred for }, what I can raise here, and I know that two hundred dollars will pay me; & good round.price for all the labor I perform on it. Aud then when my peach trees grow up, and my strawbérry beds increase—ho—it's more valuable to me than it could be to any one else.” e v * 'When Peter went home, he could ~not resist the temptation to sit down and caleulate how many house lots his land would make; and he found that his hillside would afford fifty building spots, with a good garden to each one. But he didn’t think of Mlng. ... 0 Two days afterward, six men came to look at the land, and after travel/ing over it, and sticking Sp s stakes, they’ went away. Mm ing Peter went down to the hotel, and the first thing o heard Was: - “Aha, Pete, you've missed it,” ~ “How so?” asked Pete. . yl@:éﬂmwm AN Le R ey I e e w&w@! Ek@;%mﬁ

ing at it a week or so ago; and t 0 43 he came and brought five city mel chants with him and I can take m oath, that each one of them. engage a building lot of bim. One of ‘ed spoke to me about what a lovely spa it was; and I told him nobody wo -have thought of building there # you got the rocks off. But haves you sold it, though?” *No, not an inch of it.” al “Why, that man told me he had’ gaged to pay four hundred dollars 8 a ehoice lot of twelve square rods,” | - “Then he will find his lot somé where eise, I guess, {ill I sell out.,” Some more conversation was helds and then Peter went home. On the following forenoon, the very maf who had been the first to come ang look at the hillside, called to see Petor introducing himself as Mr. Andersoms “Let’s see—l believe you own Some two or three acres of land, up here og the hillside,” he said, very carelessly] “I' own: four acres there,’ replied Peter, very exactly. =» 38 “Ah, yes—well; it doesn’t make much difference. I didn’t notice pars ticularly” how much* theret was~«& thought I sheuld like to build there, and if you would sell me land reasonable, 1 might like to purchase. It would be enough to afford me guite a garden; though I suppose it would cost about as much to till such land as the produce would be worth.” “That would depend upon how you worked it,” said Peter, dryly. & , . “Oh, yes, I suppose. DBut you are willing to sell out, I suppose ?” : “Certainly.” e ‘ The man’s eyes began to brighten. ° “Ilow much should you.want for it ?” he asked. ;

“Well, I don’t know, What could you afford to pay?” - g “Why, I suppose I could afford fo pay a great deal more than it is worth. Rather than not have it I would pay —-well, say—two- hundred dollars, or. two hundred and fifty av the outside.’f-{ ““I don’t think there is much use of our talking, sir.” ¢ e “But—you paid one hundred, only, if I mistake not.” Sl *“I had my choice between one hundred dollars and the land, and I took the latter. But as you seem to labor in the dark, I will explain to you. In the first place, there is not another spot of land in this section of the country, that possesses the natural advantages which :this one does. 1! can have my early peas and vines up and hoed before my neighbors get their ground plowed; so I have my early sauce in the market ahead of all others, save a few hot-house owners whose plants "cannot compare with mine for strength and size. Then my soil is very rich, and ytelds fifty per cent. more than most other land. Now | look at this: - During the last season I have realized over eight hundred dollars from this land, and next season I can get much more than that, for my strawberry vines are flourishing finely. There are not any two farms in’ this town that can possibly be made to realize so much money as my hillside, for you see it is the time of my produce, #nd not quantity, that does the business.- A bushel of my early peas on the twenty-second day.of May, is worth ten times as much -as my neighbor’s bushel on the first of July and August. Two hundred dollars will more than pay me for my time and trouble in attending to my land; s 0 you see I have this year over six hundred dollars interest.”’ : “Then you wouldn’t sell for less than six hundred dollars, I suppose?” said Mr. Anderson, carefully. s “Would yeu sell out a coneern that was yielding you a net profit of six hundred dollars a year for that sum, sir ?” asked Peter. o gL

“A-hem--well-—ah —you put it rather curiously.” ~ “Then T'll put it plainly. " You may have the hillside for ten thousand dollars.” : : ! - Mr. Anderson laughed ; but he found ‘that Peter was 1n earnest, and. he commenced to curse and swear. At this, Peter simply tarned and left his customer to himgelf, and he saw nothing more of the speeulator.. Two days afterward, however, one of the merchants came to see our hero, and avhen they had heard -his simple story, they were ready to do |justly by him. : ~ The merchant went first to the man -who owned the land above Peter’s, including the ledge and the spring, and he agreed to sell for two hundred dollars. This, to builders, was a:great bargain, for the stone :of the ledge was excellent granite. Then they called a surveyor and made a plot of the hillside, whereby they found that they could have forty building lots, worth from two hundred and fifty to four hundred dollars each: They hesitated not a moment after the plot was made, bul paid Peter his ten thousand dollars cheerfully. Ere many days after this transaction, Peter White received a very polite note from Cordelia Henderson, asking him to call and see her; but he did not call. . He hunted up Mr. Somers and went .into business ‘with him,and this very day Somers & White do business in the town, and Walter Sturgis is their book-keeper. , And in all the country there is not a prettier spot than the old hillside. The railroad depot is near its foot, and it is occupied by sumptuous dwellings, in which live merchants who do business in the adjacenteity. = .. = . Onething Peter missed—that h&did not reserve a building spot for himself.. But his usunal good 'fortuﬁe attended him, even here. A wealthy bank.r had occasion to move to another section of the country, and he sold out his house and garden to Peter, for just one-half what the building ~cost him, So Peter took a wife who loved him when he dug in the earth, ‘and found a home for her and himself upon the hillside: 1 _And_now, reader, where do you think 'ﬁf ‘hillside is? TPerhaps you know;; for it is a veritable history T ‘have been writing, and the place I ' have told you about is now one of the ‘most select suburban residences in fheeonlifry, o oaoe

« A Step in the Right Direction. Indianapolis Journal. ’ . ‘A Baltimore paper says that a colony of twenty-five families, including about one hundred and forty persons, has been enrolled in that city for emigration to Kansas. They propose to enter land under the pre-emption and homestead laws at the rate of one hundred and sixty acres to each head of family, and to work in common, pooling their earnings and crops, until every family has secured a separate piece of .land and a house. The: colonists are all workingmen, who say ‘they recognize the fact that the cities are overcrowded with unemployed men, and that their only hope of relief is in somesuch movement as this. The men are all in the prime of life, none being over forty years old, accustomed to work, and are sober, tem--perate and industrious. Mr. Samuel Shoemaker, Superintendent of the Adams Express Company in Baltimore, has consented to act as their treasurer, and they have appealed to Jthe public for help in transporting themselves and families to the new field of labor. 'We note this and all similar movements with pleasure. Though small and local, it is a move in the right direction. We believe that if colonization societies were formed in all the cities, and the efforts of energetic men and capitalists enlisted, many thousands of now unemployed persons could be successfully colonized in the West and South, and thus a very material advance be made toward the solution of the great labor question. 9 &

Inevitable Result of ‘a Kailure to‘ : Patronize County Papers.

_ Our Wheat Crop and the War. - Bussia’s difficulty is our opportuni‘ty. It is announced that the export of wheat usually sent from the northern ports will be seriously diminished in consequence of the war, and that the export from the southern ports will be cut off altogether. The ILondon HEconomist, in the last number at hand, on the authority of a London expert, treats the “cessation of shipments “from the south of Russia” as a fore§ gone conclusion, and affirms that there is reason to believe that both the English crop and the French will be deficient—that is to say, the demand for imported wheat will be greater than usual both in France and England, and the chief source of supply will be cutioff. * It is perhaps useless to speculate how much the diminution will be in the exports from the northern ports of Russia, but the usual supply from that source is not much more than half the supply trom the southern ports, which is now absolutely cut off. " The proportion, taking the average of the years 1871-5 inclusive, was almost exactly as one to two. With the shortness of the. crops or even with an average crop in Central and Western Eurovpe it seems, therefore, that at least two-thirds of the wheat usually shipped from Russia to England and France will be called for from this couutry. The importance of this virtually new outlet. for our surplus may be judged by the fact that the export of wheat from Russia to Enpgland alone for the five years nameéd above was of the average value of £10,000,000, or almost the same as our own export of wheat for the same years. Such an access to our trade as a doubling of our export of wheat would-be of great importance to us at any time. A#f this time it is of vast importance. Of our own ability to meet this increased demand the assurance of our magnificent wheat crop leaves us no doubt. It is the opinion of, careful experts that the surplus.of this crop available for exportation will be between -eighty millions and one hundred ‘millions of bushels. The promise of a market in Europe for so large a share of it is a more solid assurance of better times than almost any other assurance that could be given to us. . i This blessing has come te us undeserved. That we should get a share of the Russian wheat trade happens to be our good fortune ‘and the misfortune of Russia. To keep it will require wisdom in the relaxing of our abominable commercial.laws. Wedo not even now get the whole benefit of increased export, for our navigation laws have made it impossible that Americans should get the profit of h&ndling and transporting to ifs nmarket the surplus of this great harvest. But if Congress does its duty what is now a windfall may become a steady and permanent source of prosperity.

- Treatment of Sick Hogs.: : Wabash Courier. : As the hog cholera is now raging in many parts of the county the Courier will take this occasion to give the farmers a little advice as to the best way to fight this destructive enemy of the swine family. Xt is generally admitted that thus far no medicine has been discovered orcompounded which proves effective in preventing the ravages of the cholera. Physicians have not yet found the seat of the disease, or at least if they have, the remedy is not forthcoming. Then, as we cannot expect to cure the diseased animals or prevent others in the same drove from being affected by pouring medicine down their throats or applying the same externally, what is the best plan of procedure? Relying upon information received from prominent stock raisers of the connty we say unmistakably the separation of the diseased and healthy hogs. As soon as the cholera makes its appearance in a drove the sick ones should be immediately divided from the healthy and in this way a portion of the hogs can be saved while if they are neglected and allowed. to live or die, all remaining together, the chances are a hundred' to one that ‘every last hog dies. A case in point: Mr. Dave Dougherty informs us that ‘the cholera broke out among a lot of his hogs early this summer. The hogs’ affected were promptly excluded from the lot. He watched them very close1y for nearly two weeks and as soon as one showed the least signs of the digsedse—-the: dropping ears and head were enough—it was at once put apart from the rest, and as a result of his labor, Mr. D, saved one hundred out of a drove of one hundred and sixteen hogs. It may not work this good result in every case but we believe that nine times out of ten two-thirds of a lot of hogs can be saved by this means. It looks reasonable and no farmer should fail to try it. Promptness and vigilance are necegsary to insure the greatest suceess. . © -
