Xet the Prices Go High
We thought that no rise in the rising, ball, etc., constituted there
price of wheat would be objected to, mainder of the afternoon. Thus
but find after all that tnere is a liU closed a pleasant day with many sad
tie shrugging and a referring to the
fact that there are many consumers
that it suits beat to buy flour of low
priced wheat.
We think there need be but one
care, that is, that the farmer shall
get the fullest benefits of the high
prices.
Then let it go just as high as de
mand can send it.
It is hardly questioned that agri
culture is the basis of all real pros
perity. It has been peculiarly dei
pressed for years. Providence now
seems to have smiled on the Ameris

him too. If there shall be no tread
ery in the market so that he snail
lose the benefits, the impetus to
business will compensate for the rise
in bread which is of all foods, prob
ably, the cheapest at any prices that
ever prevail.
We want more money. A balance
of trade in our faior will brins;
money and a rise in the prices of the
farmer's output will draw money
frow stagnant centres, diitiibutiog
it to where it is now so scarce, in the
rural districts, and " will beW the

No danger that agricultural pro

A Ifoyel Bottle stopper.
Mr, N M Barnhardt, the genial
manager of the county home,showed
us a bottle today that was harvested
with the Irish potatoes."
The bottle undertook to swallow
the increase of the potato perhaps,
,but got choked.
The result is a potato stopper
complete, with a good large orna
mental head.
It may be that it was the potato
that was1 going after the few droS
that Mr. Barnhardt had left m the
