Potatoes--How to cultivate them in
the Arkansas Valley.

There are few who thoroughly I'M
derstand the culture of Irish potatoes
in this country, and | must admit that
l have not got that experience which
l ought to have in order TO do the sub
ject justice. Therefore | will only
mention one or two of the methods
now commonly used. and try to give
such information, as experience and
observation has fought me during the
last four seasons.
By inquiry we fluid, that almost every
farmer has method Of his own and 10
enumeratc, and define. each method
separately. would simply be impossible
a, present.
The first system or method of potato
cultivation that wish to call your at
tention TO is this: the ground is plow-
ed thoroughly about nine inches deep !:
ii is then narrowed down smooth. and
rows made with shovel pillow about
two and one half feet apart, the pieces
of potatoes are then dropped in the
rows about one foot from each other,
and covered with plow after this a
covering of straw is put over them, so
that when it settles il will be about
two and one halt 10 three inches thick
This constitutes wha; have called the
first system, there is no more work TO
be done TO them until they are dug.
This system is highly recommended by
many farmers, but is has proved fail
ure here in MANY cases.

October, 1872, Ihomcstcaded the same,
located and dug cellar, and about the
Goth of November 1872. Mr.. John w.
Whitbcck moved upon my claim. and
entered a protest against ne for fraud
ulcni entry. The contest came off on
the 18th Of December, 1872, and the
honorable commissioner Of the general
land Office decided in my favor. On
July 10Th, 1873, my family having been
sick from the middle of March until
late in June. and ! was unable TO earn
means enough, i'll consequence to build
upon my homestead. purchased a
house about the middle Of July, got
possession of it August 9TH, moved it
upon my claim August 18th and my
family also. yet not until John W. Whit
beck had entered contest against me
for abandonment of my claim. Upon
the Goth day of August notified Whit
beck that he must leave the place. His
wife said he had sworc never TO leave
the place alive, aud before the last con-
test came off. which was on the Sth of
September, 1873, he died. l would
here state that after taking this claim
put written notice upon the claim,
notifying the public in general of what

under the law. Twill here state that

1861 to 1864, and am and will ever be

facts in my settlement, will give you
the proceedings of some Of our note
worthy citizens in the case. A party
of my nearest ncighbors came out un-
der arms on the 30th of September,
marched to within half mile Of my
house and came to halt. Choosing five
of their braves they sent them forward
to my house. They come and enquired
tor me. and, as it happened, | was at
Wichita on business. and had not got

thon returned TO their party, and soon
three of them returned and said their
business WAS 10 move me and my prop
er;y from my place, and that if ] did
not acquiesce to their wishes, would
not be Of long duration; they would
soon dispatch me. These threats were
made to my wife. went before d. A.
Mitchell, justice Of the peace, and filed
a complaint and asked that they be
dealt with according to law. War
rants were issued October I'd, and have
not been served yet. Am | not, Mr..
Editor, entitled to the protection of the
law? THOMAS NoRTHRUP.

The Meeting at Attica,

The nominees of the republican par
the citizens at the Attica school house
No. "a, according to previous publish
ed notice. Charles NJ. Miles was chosen
chairman. and NJ. Ralph, secretary.
There was general good turn out and
much enthusiasm, showing that the re-
publican party is neither dead nor
sleeping, but wide awake and ever rea-
dy to battle for the right and against
the wrong. Concord and harmony pre-
vailed. All thought that it was time
of good treat, not of strong drink, but
of many words of good cheer and hope
for the future when the right men can
take the helm The nominees and
others addressed the meeting and all
were well pleased.
The meeting was success and sue
cess will attend such nominees. We
are willing TO conccde that they were
nominated by ring, a ring that in
cludes all republicans and will include
many honest democrats. q ring that
sounds clearly and will roll smoothly
and steadily to accomplish its allotted
work. There are no sorchcads here to
worry their brains and lie awake
nights, because their favoritc is not
on the ticket. We can trust our nomi-
nccs.
They of the patriots of eighteen sixty

Foresaw the mighty work that must

And put their arms and brawny shout

And cansed our country's giant wrong

you everywhere.

the meeting at Union school house.
Fifty voters were present aud every

The meeting in kcchi was an earnest,
business affair, but very harmonious
and satisfactory. kcohi will speak
strong for the republican party next

The meeting in Payne township on

The entire ticket was endorsed by
every man present. /, was publicly
stated that the mongrcl outfit would

What Reasons {?


What reasons are urged by the friends
of The moRgrrl ticket for the defeat of
the regular nominees. We confess that
we have never heard n single ono. DO
they say the republican convention
WAS irregular They cant say 30 and
tell The truth: Do they say thar the
regular republican nominees are old
rorrupt political hacks? None of them
ever ran for an office before in the
county. Do they declare that the town
did not give the rest OF the county
fair representation No sane man
could make such declaration. DO
they charge that ANY of the republican
nominees are members of any corporate
rings. bridge company. banking insti-
tutions. business houses. scrip-pur-
purclasin agencies. or Office holders
clique We guess not. Then. in the
name of common honesty. we ask eve
~ iair minded man. why this ,rcmcn-
dous effort of certain parties TO have
regular old time republicans desert
their party and 20 10 tile support ofthe
fair ground ring affair which was got
ten up with the avowcd purpose of
