Farmers have much to discourage
them. This is the 18th of March
and, some localities, but little plow-
ing done. The ground gets dry
enough to plow, the work commences
and here comes the rain again.
The rains will continue one of
those days, and then look out for
dry weather. Where we, now, have
loo much rain then we may expect too
little n extreme follows another.
In the mean time there will be a
good working spell and good grow
ing weather. Then will be the time
to crowd things. Have mules in
good plight, tools in readiness end
everything in good order to make the
best use OF the opportunity when it
does come.-Shubuta Times.

In regard to the steps taken for the
reorganization of the Democratic
party by the Democratic members OF
the Legislature, an account of which
will be found in our columns, the
Vicksburg Monitor, speaks az follows
The Democratic members of the
Legislature have start ted measures to
solidiIy the party Tor the fall cam
paign. At a meeting of these men :
bers in Jackson on March Sd, they
appointed a committee composed Of
one or two gentlemen from each
county, ito take such steps as, in
their judgment, may be necessary to
the thorough organization OF the
Democratic Conservative party of
this State" II the Committee per-
forms the duty required Of it, it will
deserve will of the people. The be-
ginning of Il organization comes
well from the Democratic members of
the Legislature. for the people feel
grateful to them for the manful man
ner in which they have stood up for
their rights against such great odds.
Ii the Committee only performs Its
duty as faithfully, no one will have
cause to be dissatisfied. We hope it
will be able to combine all our PEOPLE
for he great struggle, the result Of
which is of such vast Importance.

the interest of peace, and with the
hope Of scttl ng this Louisiana qnes-
ton. he would vote to seat Mr.. Pinch
back. He (Pinchback) represented the
colored race ; he was a representative
colored man; he did not come clothed
with all the forms and o~bsorvances OF
law, but he did come with credentials
signed oy a governor who had been
recognized by the House Of Rcprescn
tatives as Governor.
If the Republican party was in the
majority in Louisiana, he believed it
was the negroes that placed it in the
majority, and Mr. Pinchback, as their
representative, should be admitted.

DISPUTED GROUND.

THE STATE OFFICIALS 90 TO EVANSVILLE TO
FIND THE BOUNDARY LINE BETWEEN THIS
STATE AND KENTUCKY.
His excellency, the governor, and the state
officers left for Evansville yesterday noon,
to look into the matter OF the state line
which bounds Kentucky and this state. It
will be remembered that the last legislature
passed law requiring asurvey and the loca-
of Green river. The Kentucky legislature
did the same thing, and those charged with
the duty OF fixing upon the line for this state
recently sent in their report, which showed
that the Kentucky surveyors had managed
to take In q number OF acres OF Indiana soil.
IL is generally held that the middle of the
river is the boundary line. Green River
Island, which Is at the mouth OF that river,
has for long time been the resort of out
laws, and as neither state was In authority
on the grounds the rsscals managed To go
scott free as q general thing. This last
survey gives the island TO Kentucky,
aud so IL will be seen the
matter Is somewhat complicated. The state
officials arrived In Evansville last night on
a special car and to-day they will take boat
10 the disputed ground, about eight miles
from Evansville, where they will meet the
kentucky officials and hold a council OF war
as IL were. The result will be watched for
with bated breath az the happiness OF the
two states depend largely upon the am,ca-
BILE settlement oi the difficulty.

At about half-psst 3 O'Clock Ia the after
noon q boy went to Jeroslaw, at his store
in Essex street, and told him that a woman,
Just arrived from Poland, on her way to
Chicago, was the bearer OF letter from his
wife. She was waiting for him, the mes
senger said. at l0o Delaney street. Jeroslaw
was expecting such letter, and putting on
his coat and telling his partner he would
not be long gone. he hurried to the placeof
appointment. An hour later Propstein
heard OF his tragic death. Tho pistols
were precisely elike. The strong proos-
bility Is that Goldman purchased them,
loaded them, and then sent out the messen-
ger. On Jeroslaw's arrival lie must have
bolted the door, and giving him one OF the
pistols, called upon him TO defend himself.
Several shots missed their mark, but Gold
man dropped dend on receiving the bullet in
the temple, and then Jeroslaw tried to ESCAPE
from the room. having been shot Ia the
head. Both bodies were taken to the morgue
yesterday. Jeroslaw was a member of the
Milsga Jewish Society, and they will take
charge OF his body this morning.
