To one who's sold his loads of maitc, his harvest, at twelve cents a throw, these seem tho golden, happy days for farmers but they still have woe. Today 1 talked with David Dale, who bought tho farm of Hiram Horn, and ho wns loaded down with knlc, for he had sold a loud of corn. "The way they soak a ninn in town," ho said, Vjust makes a fellow reel; our fares still are tram pled down by rank oppression's Iron h?el.
