We fctve KmA&cipatioa Celebration. , Oar colored friends are preparing to celebrate the anairersary of the Procla mation of President Lincoln which went into effect on the 1st dsy of January 1888, proclaiming their freedom. They have held a meeting and selected their orators, marshals, eto., and expect to hsve a big time. Henry James has dis covered the fact that the meeting for making arrangements was not publicly called in the usual way and that all the Slimson Republicans were ignored in the matter. He says if this is to be the program of the Habn men the Stimson Republicans will fight it out on that line if it takes all next summer. It would seem that this is an occasion upon which our colored cltitens might all unite, without regard to political affiliations. At the great centennial in Philadelphia in 1876, Republicans and Democrats, Northern and Southern, Eastern and Western people all united in celebrating the great event which shook off the British yoke and pro claimed tbe freedom of America. It is extremely narrow and selfish to under take to exclude people from a national celebration because they are of a differ ent political faith, or what is still worse, because they belong to a different fac tion of the same political faith.

The commissioners after adjourning from day to day sines the first Monday In December to give the sheriff, treas urer and coroner declared entitled to these offices by the Superior Court, yes terday finished the work br accepting the bond of the coroner and rejecting those of the sheriff and treasurer, de claring these offloes vacant and elect ing tbe present sheriff and treasurer to the positions. Some pretty severe comments here been made upon ibeir action by Mr. Hahn's friends who contend that he offered a good and suffloient bond, while others approved their action upon ths ground thai sheriff Hahn's coad not of the office fully justifies the course tbey pursued. It ie a matter in which the commis sioners ars the judges, as we believe their action is final, and it is with them to esy whether or not they have con solentiouly discharged their duty to the oounty and with juslioe to thoss who were declared entitled by the courts to these offices. Grssn Manuring. We publish today the last of ths series of artiolee on "Green Manuring."

We learn that the hog cholera has about run its coarse in oar coanty and the farmers now had better commence giving their hogs lime and Ball as a preventative and finally starve it oat entirely. Your remarks a few days ago about experimental farms is so ap propriate that the articles of Green MannriDg was worth more to the farmers than the experimental farm of the State. Saturday evening last the river at Trenton was literally covered with logs ready lor starting to New Berne Monday morning. Our farmers all say had we a good steam mill and the proprietor ul it had a plenty of capital wouldn't it be so nice lor him to purchase these log?, saw, plane, tongue and groove the lumber and ship it t Yes, says our merchants, would not Trenton take a boom for our farmers ciuld cut timber and have a market right here at home. Don't we wish some enterprising man would erect a good mill! Well, gentlemen, let me tell you all how you can get it. Until you spare capital and build it you must recollect that the gods help those who help themselves. Hog killing is now progressing with us, and as good, sweet bacon clear of bugs is just what we all desire, let me tell J'oii all how to have it. Let your bacon he salted about four weeks then lake it out, wash it oil iu warm water theu naug it up and smoke it about three weeks theu take it down, have a largo pot of boiling water, dip each piece in it sufficiently long to de stroy all eggs and bugs then let it drain a little. Theu get a sullicient quantity of black pepper finely ground and mix with it real good apple vinegar, just euough to make it about the consistence of good paste; apply it on the Ileshy pans of the pieces; after. vou have finished then you can hang it up again and raise a smoke lor a couple ol days to dry it oil. You need not give it any other attention as no bugs will bother it any more. Hut during a long damp spell of weather it would be best to raise occasionally a smoke to prevent its moulding. I want each Journal reader to try it if you will and follow directions closely and you will all be pleased with if, aud when you market your hams you will do just as I have done for the last few years get one cent more in the pound by it. (KKr.N MA1UKINU Number 20. In this closing number I deeir to bring to the attention of the farmer several matters of interest and of im portance to them in regard to the im provement of their homes In the ma jority of oases the farm is the only prop -erty owned by the ocoupant. It is the farmer's home during his life, and will probably be the home of his family for many years after his death. It is bis fortune. It is the bank from which he draws the daily supplies of food for his family. It is the property on which his best energies nave Deen expenaea, ana on wnion nis future taoors win oe given. It is the home of his wife and children. It should be the ob jct of the owner to make tbe soil more productive, and therefore more valuable each year, and with proper management this can be done with small cost, as hss been shown in the previous articles, by the use of green crops for plowing under. Tbe farm snouia do nae eo aviraci ive that the wife and children will feel Dleasure in calling it their home. Flow ers, ornamental vines and fruit trees are among tbe best investment mat a family can make, one or two acres de voted to vegetables for family use will reduce the meat and floor bills at tbe store one half, and also adds largely to tbe comfort and health of the family, and if properly managed will supply food for more pork than the profits on five acres of ootton would produce rrom Chicago. Our Southern farmers will be sur prised to know that the most valuable plant in the world is gran. That the most valuable crop in the United States is grsss. and that if one-half Of the labor and energy of tbe Southern farmer which is now given to killing grass was devoted to the production of grass and other food crops, they would be in much better financial condition. Cotton in one sense is the most valu able croD that is grown. It furnishes laborers with employment from the dsy that it is planted, Outu it nnatiy nda its career in the paper mills and printing offioe, bat ootton will bankrupt and . ruin, any man or oouncy cobs at tempts to make it pay for the horses, mules, hay. meat, hread, molasses, and ilmnt nvarv other articls of daily eon sumption, from the profits of an 4'ali cotton crop.V t .
