He says, in one of his letters to the Alana Con mn “There is one product at Anderson that I never saw before in the up- country, and that is rice. 1 saw one Jot of 250 bushels grown by one farmer, and he sold it for $1.25 a bushel. Itisin the huil and is all shipped to Savannah and ' harlesion for seed. The low-coungry rice is wited with a noxious growth, ast Like wheat is mixed with cheat and vckle, but this up-countryjrice is pure, an! hence commands a higher price than their own. The farmers around Anderson grow a great deal of rice, mak- ng from sixty to eighty bushels per acre yn their meadows and meadow lands, Why do not our Georgia farmers try it, for there is just such land on almost every farm in this up-country 7” Southern Hotels Expensive, (Memphis Avalanche.) “You are mistaken, sir,” said Signor Tuley of the Peabody to a dignified look- ing gentleman from the East, wlio was es ing against the price charged him r an outside room recently ; “it costs noe to run first class hotels inthe South than it does in the North.” “iiut you get your negro help for less pri I the ynest. ¢ “There ag in yon are in error,” maid the one and only, “our best colored help mos from Clueaco.
