FIRE.-About half past two o'clock
yesterday morning fire broke out in
the rear of Peter Frech's grocery and
boarding house, situated on the east
side OF the public square. From all
we can learn the fire originated in his
back porch, and was soon communica-
ted to the adjoining buildings. The
early part of the night previous being
spent in clarifying over the recent po-
litical victories, our firemen, like most
others, were tired and sleepy, and were
not in good working trim, but they
were very promptly on the ground, and
succeeded in arresting the flames after
the destruction of four buildings. The
loss is as follows: j. +. Couts, on
building, loss 81 800, insurance $500.
Peter Frech, grocery and boarding
house-no insurance. John Manning,
saloon and dwelling-no insurance.
John Mitchell, two houses, loss S., 000
no insurance.
Mr.. Couts' building was occupied by
a worthy colored woman, named Char
lotte McKeage, laundress, who lost
everything. The loss sustained by Mr..
Mitchell and this colored woman is
very hard upon them, and they deserve
the sympathy and aid of the public.
The fire is supposed to be the work of
an incendiary.

GREAT JUBILEE.
Grand Display Of Fire works!
General Illumination and Torch-light
Procession.
Short but Enthusiastic Speeches.
Looking Like Ola Times.

A grand procession was formed on
the public square at z o'clock. p. NJ,
Thursday, taking taking up a regular
march. starting from the Southern
Hotel, preceded by the brass band,
then followed Chief Marshal, Hon. G..
A. Henry in open carriage with sue
cessful candidates; students Of Stew
art College and public schools with
transparencies band, fife and drums !;
members of executive committee on
horseback torchlights and transpar-
encies; citizens on foot, on horseback,
and in vehicles. The route of march
was through the principal streets,
which were thronged with a dense
crowd Of spectators, all the houses
being brilliantly Illuminated, from
each of which the smiles aud cheers
of the fair ladies of our city and sur
rounding country, were to be seen and
heard, in the general rejoicing over our
great victory. The whole city was
alive with people, perfectly jubilaut at
the success of our honored candidates
the choice of people determined,
by all honorable means, to be free
again from tyranny and oppression.
But whilst all were exultant nothing
was said or done to humiliate the OPP
posing party. The procession halted
on the hill opposite the Methodist
church, where speeches were made by
Hon. g. A. Henry, Hon. j. f. House,
and DIR. Northington, full of enthusi-
asm, but no word was uttered calcula-
ted to embitter the fallen foe.
The large gathering dispersed about
10 o'clock, all retiring to their homes
with feelings of pride and exultation
that our noble old county has been re-
deemed, regenerated and disenthralled
from radical usurpation and power
which was brought about by thorough
organization, without which no party
can prove victorious. All honor to
those who worked so valiantly in our
ranks. Three times three cheers for
the prospect of once more having a
white mans government

ELECTION In OLD MONTGOMERY!
''We have met the enemy, and they
are 0:,lss
Grow, Chapman, Grow,

The election on Tuesday last passed
off quietly throughout our town and
county, resulting in a glorious triumph
for the Democratic party, and no dis
tur6ance occurring in any locality so
far as we can learn. Only seven dis
tricts in the county gave Republican
majorIties, the rest going almost solid
for the straight Democratic ticket,
and the majorities of the different can
didates are as follows: Porter 719,
House I'll, Quarles 1892, (no OPPOSE
tom. West 2.555, (no oppositioD), Nor
ingt0n 637.
The day of Radicalism in old Mont
gomery has passed, we trust forever,
and they certainly must now be assured
that they can not elect a ticket OF
candidate even with the help of the
independents and their disaffected
ones. Our people have learned the
the advantage of unity of action and
harmony of feeling, and we believe,
in future, the nomination of candi-
didate by Il convention of the people
will be equivalent to his election. The
people are jubilant over the result of
our own election and over the news re-
ceived of large gains for the Demo-
cratic party throughout the entire
country, and the feeling is that we are
now to be relieved from the Radical
rnisrule which has hung so long like
pail over our land.
The following is the vote of this
county, except District No. 70, which is
said TO have given a Democratic major
ity of 20, which is added in making up
the majorities given above.

JUST ONE WORD TO THE CoLoRED
MAN.-You have worked and voted
for the radical party ever since you
were enfranchised. What have you
gained by it? Ponder this question,
and give us an answer. Instead of
gaining anything, you have laid your
self liable to lose the respect and sup
port of your true friends, the Conser-
ve-Democrats, who are destined, at
an early day, to control this govern
ment ard its political machinery. You
will have TO look to them, then, for
succor. We do not seek your votes,
but we would warn you now to be true
to yourselves aud best interest, and
secure the friendship of your only true
friends, by courteous demeanor and ac-
ton. Think of these things black
men.

LARGE AID SMALL FARMS.

SoME writers on farming are in err
ror, we think, when they insist on
small farms as indispensable to success.
| Small, is comparative term and Its
true value is to be fixed, not by inetes
and bounds. but by density of popula-
ton and other controlling circum-
stances. We are often cited to the til
ling of the soil in Germany and other
districts with a crowded popula-
ton, where an acre is farm and
its production stimulated to the
fullest extent, but here population is
sparse, lands cheap and labor dear, and
this condition, the reverse of that ex-
listing in Germany-for instance-at
once defeats the parallel attempted to
be drawn between conditions SO wide
ly divergent With abundant and
dear labor. the practice is to spread
that labor over the largest surface
in expectation of profitable return
for the outlay. This view embraces
the present only, and has No re-
ference to the future impoverish-
ment of the soil from which so
much is demanded and so little is
returned, in the shape of fertilizers
This is grave mistake, but one not to
be corrected by urging upon planters
the other extreme, which is held up as
the proper standard for successful ag-
rieulture in this country "s
But there is a happy medium be-
tween the extremes; and, instead of
advocating the reduction of large farms
to mere garden-spots, it were better to
insist upon the policy of limiting cul-
tivation to so many acres as are already |
productive, or to be made so, by the |
application Of approved elements of
fertility. Let US persuade farmers that
there is no profit in the cultivation of
sterile land, whether labor be cheap,
or dear, and that the loss is increased
by the additional damage to a soil SO
hungry and tired as to demand food
and rest, without which there can be no
and no future yield for
those who are to come after US. The
Changers, we believe, are fast becom-
ing convinced of the fact that some
thing cannot be made of Nottingham
a soil with no fertilizing elements in
it. can not produce grain or grass and
that the only bank they can draw upon
without discount, is the bank of ma
nure Whilst we are no stickler for
minute farms, we insist that there is
economy in saving the fencing which
incloses lands that are so poor that it
is extravaganza to waste seed upon
them; there is a want of judgment
and laudable ambition in the farmer
who is content to cultivate hundred
acres when a larger yield may be more
easily obtained from half the number.
Farms will contract as population in
creases, in the meantime, let farmers
resolve to cultivate no more land than
they can make productive. Tits wise
economy in their own case and duty
they owe to their posterity, their neigh
bOrs and their country. 1t lisa lesson
in domestic and political economy
the Oranges may profitably discuss and
ought to inculcate, as a part of their
grand mission.

TOBACCO RAISING In PLACE OF
Wharf.-The season for tobacco
growing in some parts Of California.has
been so favorable, and the crop is cor
respondingly so large and remunera-
tive that many farmers have come to
the conclusion to curtail their wheat
sowing and plant more of the lands in
tobacco. The quality Of this tobacco
has been pronounced by experts to be
of very fine grade, and if put up in
the style that Havana tobacco comes to
us, it could not be detected from the
genuine, and would readily pass as
such in the market. The adaptability
of that region for tobacco culture may
be judged from the fact that in some
sections the fourth crop of the season
is being gathered-Neco York BulIe-
