Two Day. later from Mexico.

The Mobile Herald, Of July 9Th, contains
The following letter from Correspondent. On.
der date OF Pensacola, July 25th, 1916:
SrR--The United States frigate Raritan,
Com Gregory, arrived here yesterday from Vera
Cruz, which place she lett on the 9Th inst,
bringing dates two days later than received by
the Princeton. Vera Cruz papers of the 18th
and 10th. publish the news Of the Ongon Tree.
~, under the head OF very impor,an, news
Tho papers state that in consequence Of the
Treaty. the Mexican people are called on to
make increased efforts to preserve their country
from the rapaciiy Of the robbers uf the Del
Norte. They remind the Mexicans Of the
manner in which The French were driven out
Of Spain. after Madrid and the cities OF the
country were in possession Of the enemy. This
wus done by guerilla warfare, in which small
parties of the enemy were murdered wherever
they were found. fr
General Paroles had not left the city Of Mex.
ico. 1t was found impossible 10 raise body of
even five thousand men to follow him. while it
was the opinion of all well informed persons,
that there is nothing to prevent General Tsy.
or marching directly to tho city Of Mexico.
There are no troops TO oppose him. e
General SCOTS IDEAS Of the rainy season have
cansea much mirtb among those residing in the
ucishborhood Of the cities OF Mexico and Vera
Cruz. There is no finer climate in the world
than tha, Of the highlands OF Mexico. which
are reached near Monterey.
Gen. Moro, the commander Of the Castle and
ri.y of Vera Cruz, who has succeeded tie Vice
President, B:avo. has entered upon the perform.
ance Of her duties. lie has body OF several
hundred men at work every morning on the
low sandy beach odjoining the Castle, where
he has thrown up additional breast works.
About sunset. the soldiers are exercised al
target firing. The guns are mostly OF lsrge
caiibre. and throw shot to great distance.
The American squadron is anchored under
Green Island. The opinion expressed by Gen.
Gaines that the castle can only be taken by es.
caiade. or boarding, as Jack" calls il. seems
to have become the general belief This the
sailors OF the squadron are eager TO undertake.
The British steamship arrived at Vera Cruz

Monterey.

The Matnmoras Flag gives long account Of
the road TO Monterey, towards which The army
ofthe United States has commenced it's march
The permanent depot is at Csmargo. on the
San Juan River, three miles from the Ric
Grande. This point lie the hend Of navigation
! and il is Tor this that the advancing army will
leave the Rio Grandc. The rond upon leaving
Camnrgn and crossing the San Juan, becomes
higher, aud less obstructed by swnmpy grounds
The distance to Monterey is 2lO miles.
The literal meaning Of Monterey is the
Kings Woods, but it would sccm more appro.
pirate to call it grove Of brush. It sa com.

through this forest, that ''it's 90 thick you cam

few days before the battle Of Palo Alto, and they

with their thrift, intelligence and industry. was
capital quite sufficient 10 insure them an indie.
pendence in the lumber business Of their native
State. On learning that battle was expected
in few days. they again deposited their money
with the Paymastcr, asked permission to take
their old place in their respective companies,

quest was granted: they nobly sustained their
paris in the military dance Of the two glorious
days the 9Th and 9th Of May. The deadly
strife over, they called for their temporarily de.

they bid long farewell to the 'pridc, pomp and

The eggs are seen deposited around the

some hundreds of eggs. These must be PICK

Cast Iron PlOW Points.

The following appeal of Mr.. PARDER to the
Farmets is worthy of consideration. Let
some man in each township draw up re-
monstrance, circulate it and forward it to our
Representative.
ain 1919, Jethro Wood of New York OBJ
tanned Patent for cast iron Plow, and in
1889 he obtained by special Act of Congress
a renewal os his Patent for making Ptou
Points of Cast Iron. This expires in August
ls47. BY decisions of Courts the heirs oi
Jethro Wood have established their exclusive
right to Plow Points Of Cast Iron, and car
prevent the making them of cast iron by any
and all persons, unless they first obtain per
mission from said Patentees. And the Pat
entees heve commenced, in New York, pros
ecutions for infingements, and the Courts
sustain them. This will change the aspect
of the plow making business very materially
The heirs of said Wood are now In Wash
ington City for the purp ose if inducing Con-
gtess to give them an extension of their pat.
ent for ID years more.
Now l would recommend to every farmer
to draw up remonstrance at once and clrcu-
late it without delay, and send it to their
Representatives in Congress, asking them
not to grant said extension of Patent. am
well advised that said heirs of Jethro Wood
now compel those who make cast iron plow
points in New York to pay them fifty cents
for every point they make. This will be ad
ded to the price, and the farmer will have it
to pay. 1t will be so here as soon as sald
heirs can have time to bring it about.
Now, farmers, is your time. Be up and
doing with your remonstrances. No time is
to be lost. If you suffer the present time to
pass and make no efforts to prevent it. you
may expect to pay the heirs Of Jethro Wood
so cents on every plow point you use for IA
yeats to come. Get up remonstrances a,
once. GEO. X. PARDEE.
