To be most successful poultry of all kinds it is best to have all preparations made before the first of January. Fowls moved from one place to another after the first of January do not lay so early and rarely produce so as those that have remained undisturbed. It is the winter layers that net the largest profit among the producers, and the early chicken is the bird that catches the high prices.

The people of North Carolina can hardly hope to have a better State gov- than they have given themselves for twenty years past as to change it thoughtlessly and under a clamor raised against it by interested and designing Landmark. Our colored townsman, M. V. Blake, has been a pension agent at this place for years, and this capacity he has been a blessing to a good many poor and to one or two who forsook their Southern mas- in their battle for the lost cause, and, after incidentally toll- where they had hid their valuables, joined the Union sol- to servo as cooks and pose as cruelly maligned and greatly abused gentlemen.

Everything went merry as a mar and Uncle Sim gave bis pension to these simple, worthy folk till a spec- inoffensive-looking special pension examiner by the name of Brown came to parts, and in at. unobtrusive sort of fashion began to make investigations. Blake grew strangely nervous and when he was arraign- ed last Friday before C- F. a United States he was the personification of six feet, five inches of charcoal misery. he said, to one of the women for whom he had a pension, wish WAITING FOR OTHERS. A gentleman writing from about the necessity of the people of that State striking out for themselves by establishing more manufactures notice a great disposition in this part of the country to wait for some Northern to come down and start something up. I know of some of the most valuable water powers in the State which the hands of syndicates, who are waiting for Northern millionaires to come down start mills foe them.
