It has A MAGAZINE writer says that "many city boys" reach the end of a school course without being able to tell what a monkey-wrench is or describe a cross cut saw or define the .use of a throttle-valve." This is too true.-- How • can a boy expect to become President of the United States, or a curve ball pitcher, or a professional roller skater, if lie is not familiar with the uses of a throttle-valve and a cross cut siw?

One of our merchants says lie sent out bills for 94,000 awhile ago and iu ten days had received only 96.00 on them ;^inuther siys lie frent duns on which he expected 92,000 and got only about 9300, Tiie banks complain that collections come very slowly although deposits are large. It is strange that hard Jines universally prevail while the bank vaults of tiie country are ple thoric with idle funds; that destitu tion and starvation is threatened with 48.000,000 bushels of wheat lying in the warehouses waiting purchasers, and every kind of goods as well as every kind of food is in supply far be- youd the wants of tiie country or the world, in this vicinity the reason for bad collections is not beyond explana tion. The money comes from the farmers and the farmers gel it princi pally from the sale of railk and ho tgs.-- Now the summer dividends from the milk factories have been verv small,-- Fifty or sixty cents for a hundred pounds of milk is a price that brings no profit, and 93,00 per hundred for hogs is low. very low, and yet the chances aie that the rate will be lower. It is very hard to pay old debts out of pr >duce at such prices. Sti 1 farmers must remember that merchants' debts and printers debts must be paid, with out reference to tiie price of produce and they must do all they can td re lieve the pressure. Multitudes of farmers, kind hearted and accomodat ing, if they knew the difficulty under which these labor who are carrying along their accounts, would borrow tiie money, if they did not wish to sell their produce, and would clear those debts. Merchants cannot always af ford to tell h3w hard they are pressed. We wish to say that now is a time when all who can p&y should do so.-- There never was an October that has been so poor for collection. One ol the largest business houses in DtKalb county has failed this week and o:h- ers wil] follow if collections do not improve. ' 'Age cannot wither it nor custom state its infinite variety."

The concert was interspersed with music by the Richmond Cornet Band." The songs and music by the "culled" company could not be excelled by home talent. The s^ngs by the Glee Club were well rendered.
