August 9th, says:
Evil you have the kindness to inform

miles nearer homel Please let us hear
from you about this matter. | am not

sery, and have no axes to grind but l
lack information on this matter"
REPLY.-The truth in regard to South
ern and Northern fruit trees is precisely
the repene of the statements made by
these Northern "runners" and ''tree
peddlers :" and if any Southern man has
been duped into paying ''from three to
eight times" the cost of good Southern
home-raised trees for the picked up re-
| fuse of Northern and Western nurseries,
in these days of agricultural papers and
general enlightenment, it simply proves
to us that old "Billy Jones, the great
North Carolina fool-killer" has entirely
neglected his business of late, in that
part of the country. Eve" are connect
ed with nursery-we have been thus
connected for many years, and We ex-
pect to be more or less connected with
the propagation and planting of South
ern fruit trees so long as we live. We
should like to grind our own axes and
those of our friends and make them
''sharp" and "keen" enough to enable us
to cut loose from dependence on those
who cannot supply us with such articles
as we want, and who care not whether
they do or not, so that they get our mon
ey. We have propagated and planted
thousands of trees in the South, and we
have given Northern trees a very fair and
| impartial trial in Southern soil, and we
can honestly say that we should greatly
prefer Southern raised trees, even if we
have to pay double prices; and that such
gross frauds as our correspondent de-
scribes can only succeed where the peo-
pie are culpably and inexcusably ignO-
rant of the very first principles of veget-
able physiology and pomology - Ed.

The Time for Planting Trees.

FROM coleman 5 isural w OTlu
The time has come in which to plant out
trees. How many have been longing,
waiting, watching the first hint ofnature
that they may begin to plant out. Mo
theirs have so often put the question to
busy fathers. When can we plant our or
chard, few vines or small fruits and
what of my shrubbery and ornamentals?
The glorious autumnal tints sounded
the warning that the time was ap-
preaching to plant; the falling leaves
silently say hurry up, now is the time.
Now is the time. The practical exper-
fence of nearly twenty years in this lati-
tude, where some thousands of trees have
been planted each fall and spring--and all
this experience points to fall planting as
the best.
Plant early. Planting in December
and January is not fall planting. Don't
plant too deep; large open space is
much more desirable than deep, narrow
hole, in a tenacious clay. In filling in
round the tree, raise a mound of earth
round the stem. 1t stiffens the tree ag-
ainst the wind protects the lower portion
of the stem from severe freezing; pre-
vents much Of the raising of the tree by
the frost; throws off the water, and pre-
vents its accumulation around the roots.
Take it all in all, we most earnestly urge
to plant al!i that is possible in the fall !;
then we have fine weather; in spring it is
uncertain

Decision against IN Railroad for
Damages.
From the Shubuta Times.


1t is important to know that the wei
known suit of Mr. Macarthur against the
Mobile & Ohio Railroad Company for
s19, ZOO damage has recently been de-
cided by the Supreme Court in favor of
Mr.. Macarthur, sustaining his claim for
damages. The facts in the case, as we
understood them, were, that Macarthur
took passage on one of the freight trains
of the Company at Enterprise, for Quit
man, to put himself in reach OF a Physi-
clan who was at that time treating him to
some disease, pneumonia perhaps-the
train refused to stop at Quitman, put the
patient off at DeSoto, five miles below,
which caused him to walk back through
mud and rain, at dark hour of the night
to obtain the treatment which he set out
for.

STATE LIBRARIAN.-It sill be graft
flying news to the people of this COM
munity, and to the members of the legal
profession especially, to be informed that
our old and respected townsman, Mr..
James Sessions has been appointed to this
office. 1t was a strange fancy of the
Governor IN the first instance to appoint
the Fretched fellow Werles (colored) who
was public eye sore, in preference to
such gentlemen as Mr.. Sessions who
were known to have been willing to ac-
cept the place; and nothing but the freak
of Werles to break into the jail, has
brought about the change.

Gin Houses Burned i'm Clarke
COUNTY.

On last Tuesday evening Mr.. John
Bass, on the Connor and Davidson plan
tation, together with the Freedmen on
the place, suffered the loss of about 80
bales of cotton which were burned with
the Clubhouse. This little is thought to
be the work of an incendiary.
A few days since Col. C. ID. Lang suf-
fered similar loss which, however, was
considerably greater--his house, contain
ing three very large gin stands was quite
an expensive building. The loss in cot
ton was estimated at 80 bales which was
shared between him and a number of
Freedmen on the place; the entire loss
estimated at So, 500.-Shubuta Times.

West Virginia, the new State carved
out Of old Virginia, by the Radical des-
pots to create permanent Republican
State, held elections on the 9th for State
officers and members of Congress. The
telegraph reports large Democratic gains
for the State ticket, and their certain trl-
umph in two Districts now
represented by Radicals. Grant carried
the State by 1892 majority and
the present Republican Governor was
elected two years ago by 4,717 majority
The District (the Firs) which the Dem
ocrats carried on the 9th, elected the
present Mongrel incumbent by upwards
of 800 majority. The other District
(the Third which it is reported the Rad
icals have also lost, cast 400 majority
for them at the previous election. The
Democrats have also a majority in the
Legislature, will initiate proceedings for
repeating the odious DISTINGUISHING laws
passed by the Radical rulers, and elect
Senator in Congress.
p. s. Since the above was put in type,
dispatches have been received which IN
dictate that the Democratic Congressional
Committee at Washington have strong
hopes that the Democrats have carried
the second District also. If this be so
they have made clean sweep of the
State and it will be the most decisive
victory that has been gained over Radi-
calism.

The National Government has perfec-
ted the arrangements for making meteo-
Biological observations, with a view of
reporting the movements of storm cur
rents by telegraph. The observations are
to be made by scientific men, under
military control, who will be supplied
with instruments, and will be placed at
points throughout the United States and
elsewhere, from which reports of atmos-
pheric changes and the approach and
force IF storms, will, It is thought, prove
most useful. These observations are to
be made and reported three times day,
at 8 A. NJ, 6 P. M, and at midnight, and
the widest possible publicity is to be
given to them. JACKSON, Mississippi,
is designated as one of tho points for
making these observations which will
commence about the 1st November. =

President Grant has issued Procla-
nation admonishing the people of the
United States to observe Thursday the
24th of November as a thanksgiving day,
If it is observed at all in the Southern

Christening handof the Almighty and of
deliverance from the swarrns Of thieves

their industry are consumed and their

THE LATE CAPT. DAVID DALEY
Amid the festivities of the past week,
death has been busy with his scythe
Three old citizens have been cut down
the last of whom, Capt. David Daley Gall
that was mortal of him), was consigned
to the grave on Sabbath evening last.
He had been a citizen of Jackson since
1886; and was large-hearted, public
spirited citizen, who was universally re-
spected, and has descended to the grave,
leaving not an enemy, nor an unpleasant
memory connected with his long life He
had reached the ripe old age of
70 years. He was one of the or
ganizers, in 1889, of Fire Co., No. /,
and was the first foreman of the Company.
His active membership had necessarily
ended; but he never ceased to take an in
terest in the success of the Company, and
to give earnest oft by his presence on ev-
cry anniversary occasion. The Fire De-
partment turned out to escort the remains
of the veteran to their long home. and
presented an imposing appearance. Cap
tain Daley was the builder of our State
Capitol, which, together with many pri-
vate residences, remain to attest that his
life was one of honorable toll, and that he
set the example of earning his living and
securing his competency by the sweat of
his brow.

Tho Census of the NORTHWEST.

1t appears by the census that the pop
ulation of Iowa is l, 1877, 1913. Michi-
gan has 1 ,191, 461. This is an extraor-
binary even thing between States with
so large number of people. WiscOn-
sin also has about LOO, 900. The
Northwest in almost every State goes
up into the millions. Ohio approx
mates 5000, OOO Illinois, 1850, 600 +;
Indiana, say 100000 and Missouri
100000.
1t is to recruit the population of these
giant young States that convention of
the Governors thereof has been called to
encourage Immigration.

WHEELING, Oct. 29.-Incomplete re-
turns from 20 counties, embracing two.
thirds of the State, show large Democrat
ic gains enough to warrant the an
nouncement that the State has been car

Republicans concede.
The Democrats elect two Congressman
from the First and Third Districts, and
by large gains will be enabled to control
