Prosperity.

It has come as promised; Amen and so might it be” The undersigned has undertaken to stock this and near by, and extended country without limit with stock and feeding cattle by auction j sales every two weeks at McCoysbvrg station: selling cattle on time, and for cash, having the best of facilities for getting them on favorable terms. Would say to the farmers having feed that they bilieve those buying can by good care of them double the purchase price within one year: and on the feeders they can realize good price for the grain and make quick return. The margin between feeders and the price of fat cattle, taking into consideration tbe prioe of grain has not been better at any time within twenty years, as to the price of fat cattle remaining at present prices, who can doubt as long as every laboring man can get work at good wages: they are the ones who eat the meat and. edjoy it. Wages are increasing and not ■i enough labor to supply the demand. The labor is in the best and most independent condition for any time within the last fortynine years.

Further; —We have made arrange men ts to pasture next summer any cattle belonging to our patrons who may not have feed of their own for 2 cents per day or SI.OO per hundred for the grain and no charge unless they gain. 200 pounds. The stockers will make feeders neat spring or Fall,. z as the market demands light handy beeves. Further wejhave on hands a nice lot stock ewes that are for sale oso favorable terms. At prices th||9 the Ist, crop of wool and lambm 1 -111 will pay Ist, cost or more. Thanking our patrons and wishing thenar „ their share of prosperity and even more. We want to inform the people J there is no calamity on this country now and thank God none threat- j ened. No Calamity bowlers atK| ting on store boxes, or standing | on street corners at cross roads or blacksmith shops. They are riW showing the great prosperity ex-| tant in the land. Amen and so might it be always. As to the sheep there is no domestic animal that pays as well with quick returns as a flock of sheep well cared for. They will eat more weeds and greater variety of feed thaiH any other. When Jasper and aBl counties of the state have sheepjg enough to lawn mow the lanea| and by ways and road sides, theal will prosperity be in full bloonm Then those farmers that have not. the fore thought to kill and salt| meat enough to last until tbe i spring chickens come, they cai»| draw on the lambs for choice meaw| instead of going to town and buy-3 ing a peice of sow belly and paM ing almost as much as they gobi last Fall, and winter for a goo® bacon hog, as the Yankee eajjl don’t be so shiftless, gather aruuu|j| you domestic animals and speb|B your time taking care of them stead of talking politics, scandal M religion—do right, the Lord always helps th. m helps themselves.
