ARREST OF X. w. SNOW.

ARREST OF X. w. SNOw.-On
Saturday last Sheriff r. J. Ross, OF
this county, received requisition
Fl ON YazoO county for the arrest of
Mr.. Il. w. Snow, on a charge of
forgery. Snow has been in Canton
for the past nine months, and has
during that time conducted himself
as quiet, law-abiding citizen. He
was for three months in the employ
of the CITIZEN Office, in the capaci
ty of job printer, and, as such,
gave full satisfaction TO his employ
ers. We sympathize with him i'll
his misfortune, and wish him Il hap
py issue out of his trouble. The
Yazoo Democrat, of the Sth inst,
says:

heated day, yet our GoodlIe Cit. b.,

A few niles from Fort MadisO

A few miles from Fort Madison,
Iowa, is All apple orchard growing
in the midst of dense forest. The
peculiariiIes of the trees are, first ,
the shape OF he leaf, which Is much
larger than the ordinary apple leaf,
being long and qniie slender ;>ec"nd,
they bear fruit of the finest flavor,
and parties come for miles around
20 taste them, and some take leaves
and press them to keep as curiosi
ties. An old settler relates that
about 1895 Red Wing, a famous
yOnng chief, ON his return fIOm St
Louis, spent few days at St.
Charles, Mo-, then ii small settle
ment, now Il uu,ishing city. While
there he Was given Il few apples TO
eat, which he seemed to enjoy very
much, and asked for some of the
trees. One of the settlers procured
some twenty-five young sprouts
and gave him the necessary InStruc-
,ionS in planting them. These he
carried distance of one hundred
miles to his home, and planted them
around his wingwam. The famous
old chief Black Hawk gave this AN
the true OIig.ne OF the trees. They
are upward of eighty years OLD.
and, from present appearances: Will
live many Years to come.

rlLTON'S Personal HISTORY.

4 correspondents of the Courier

world:
He is a native OF New York, and

to the death y! hys father. He went
to the college of New York, for "A

work, and took quite Il fancy to him.

twenty two, TiltOn came into public
prominence. His position has
scarcely been paralIeled for one SO

in time, was equal to that paid to
Horace Greeley; be was paid 81 900,
with the privilege of lecturlng,
having refused $4,000 with tut tina
privilege. His duties consisted
mainly of writing one double-l-aded
leader every week, all the routine
work belong performed by Oliver
johnson, then office editor of the
independents. This was certainly
extraordinary pay, but TiItOn de
served it. He IS Il brilliant writer,
and, when inspired by great
theme he can write in the grand
style. The lrouble vas however
that he treated all subjects in this
style, aud thus sometimes gave un

engagements TO lecture; and thus

The Rush to Kansas and Colorado.

The indications are that the rush to Kan
sas and Colorado will be greater than ever
in 1874. The shortest way to reach the far
West is through st. Louis the great MIssis-
slppi Valley City, of over 600 inhabi-
tants and thence west over the st. Louis,
Kansas City and Northern Short Line, which
reaches all the great land grants in the
West and runs SIX fast express trains two
more than any other road, between the Mis-
sissippi and Missouri rivers. This road in
the last two years, has expended over two
million dollars, besides earnings in eXtraOr-
binary improvements of roadway, in relay
ing its line with the best quality of new
steel and iron rails, on broad new ties, and
in passenger equipment, having substituted
for ordinary cars new reclining chair coach
es with every appliance for comfort and
afety being elegantly fitted with dressing
rooms, with toilet conveniences for ladies
and gentlemen and families travelling with
children, free of any extra charge Any
ticket agent selling through tickets to the
West will furnish tickets by this excellent
route through ST. Louis over the st. Louis,
Kansas City and Northern Short Line, the
best and shortest TO Kansas Colorado, Ne
braska California, and the Great West-it
being the only line running through cars
between St. Louis and Omaha. For map
and circulars and Timetables address either
F. A. Palmer, indianapolis, Ind, or z. b.
Groat, ST. Louis, either of whom will furnish
any information desired.

CAREFUL COTTON PICKING
PAYS.-S-prember is Il busy mont h
o. the planI atinn. Cotton pick ing
is in full operation. and is the i'm
portant work Of the month where
the great staple is the principal
crop. Let it be pressed with all
your energy and force, so as to
gather the lint as fast as the 10 s
., en-. You lose both in quantity
aud quality bv delay. The first
picking should be we'll summed.
DO not allow your hands TO pull off
the bolls in picking, as they are
sometimes inclined to do; and
avoid picking Immediately after II
shower. In all cases where large
quantities are stored in bulk, stir
the heaps occasionally, and expose.
the cotton To the air to keep from
heating. Keep the different qnal-
tiles of cotton separate, S" IA TO
avoid selling mixed cotton for the
price. of the poorest portion of it.

in bales than ll ing in hnlk in the

The Canton Mail is displeased
with our style Of recording buggy
drive taken by three innocent ur-
chins, some two weeks since. We
have only to say, that So far as the
Mail is con cerned, ii We have said
anything that we are sorry for. We
are glad of it. We were informed,
at the time of the occurrence above
referred to, that the three boys had
taken Mr.. George Harvey's buggy
from in front of his gate; had
driven off towards Sharon, and
smashed the buggy all to pieces.
We were further informed, that Mr..
Harvey overlook them at the scene
of their disaster and administered
to them sound whipping. This
latter we omitted, as We thought it
entirely unnecessary, and knowing
it could do no gOod-p0sslbly harm.
We subsequently stated that the
buggy was stolen from the carriage
house of its 0rner, Col. Lyons. We
regarded the whole buggy driving
affair as n small matter, and it had
entirely escaped our memory. Bat
We can not fail to notice the spirit
of the Mail in trying to present
that we had unwontedly shielded
the boys on account of their color.
Such was not our intention. But
We desire to state our conviction
that the position of the AMERICAN
CITIZEN on any matter, is of no
concern TO the Canton Mail. We
want none OF its COMMUNICATION. aud
scorn to regard its disapprOvai OF
our acts. We have failed heretofore
TO take any notice OF the Mat, and

The Broken Pane.

At our school there was boy by the name
of Robert Rich. One day he was throwing
stones, when he hit window and broke
pane of glass No person had seen him
throw the stone. lie might have skunk
away and kept his act secret if he had
not been too noble q hoy TO do such mean
ness.
Mr. lIardwick, who lived in the house
where the window was broken, was law
yer and seemed 10 be of stern, harsh tenn
per; for he used TO soold the boys if they
but crossed his fields, or even entered his
woods. Robert did not like to meet him.
But Robert had more fear of doing wrong
than of facing the anger of the lawyer so
he went up 10 Mr.. llardwick and said:
:" In throwing a stone, just now, broke
pane of glass in one of your windows"
"Well, then You must send a glazier and
have it mended," said Mr., lIardWick, in an
angry tone.
That is just what wished To do" said
Robert and will do II at once"
Struck hy his manly reply, M IIardwick
asked Robert II he had any money 10 pay
the glazier
Yes" said Robert, 81 have half crown
that have been saving up"
What have You been saving it up for 2"
asked Mr.. llardwick.
81 have been saving it up to buy my sis
ter a sunshade," replied Robert.
well, sir" said the lawyer IL look to
you to see that my window Is mendoza
Robert bowed and took his leave. That
same day he sent a glazier and had a new
pane Of glass set in place Of the broken one.
lie felt that Mr.. llardwick had claimed no
more than was right, and he did not blame
him. But as Robert sat at his lesson that
evening, the door-bell RUG and package
was left for him. lie opened it, and what
do you think he found In the passage
was a beautiful blue sunshade, and with IL
a letter from Mr. lIardwick, in these words
Take this as a proof that | was pleased by
your readiness in doing right to-day"
Robert ran and gave the sunshade TO his
sister, and she was delighted with the gift
His father, when he learned what had hap
pened, said 10 Robert awe should always
DO right for the love Of right, and not in the
hope Of reward"
al am sure did not hope for a reward"
said Robert. IL should still have been glad
that J paid for mending the window, even il
! had got nothing in return. For surely
deserved nothing. | see that man may
seem stern, like Mr.. Hardwick, and yet be
kind at heart.'-Eramiaer and Chronicle.
