''H. c, the correspondent of the New
\ ork Times, who has put himself TO a
great deal of trouble to find out what
any fool might have known is writing up
the Southern situation for that paper
He gives the following as the result Of
his enquiries: "After an extended tour
through the South, made principally in
the hope OF finding some evidence of APP
preaching Democratic disorganization,
I am compelled TO express the conviction
that on all national questions the South.

who has lived or travelled in the cotton

what We have often said that the Democ-

silly as to disband it either to join faction

In a recent issue we mentioned some
specimens Of wool from the Cotswold
herd of our neighbor, Col. j. D. Stewart,
remarkable for its sickness and length OF
fibre. We have since had the pleasure
Of examining his flock, including some fine
ewes just imported, which certainly excel
in size, beauty and quality Of fleece any
thing we have ever beheld. The editor of
The Farmers journal, Louisville, KY,
IN noticing the shipment from Kentucky,
says:
We never saw anything superior to the
sheep in question-two superb ewes, bred
by Mr.. Coombs himself and therefore thor
oughly naturalizcd. Mr.. Coombs is a breed
er i'm the best sense, and has been handling
sheep for many years, and to-day he has
one of the finest tlocks in the state, consist
ing, as it does, of some seventy head of
Cotswolds. The two beautiful animals, the
sight of which suggested these remarks,
will surely contribute to the fame Of Ken
lucky as a fine stock State, and stimulate
the steadily increasing but very desirable
drain upon our almost e&haHstless resources.
Col. Stewards herd consists entirely
of the Cotswold breed, and we are glad
to be informed that he is determined to
make a thorough test of sheep raising in
Mississippi. He has a quantity of wool
for shipment and the quality which he
produces is quoted at from 80 to 90 cents
per pound. The yield per head varies
from II to % pound. Fourteen and
halfpounds are fairaverage. 1t is easy
tomake an estimate of the profits of the
business, which cannot fail with proper
care and attention to be remunerative.
Col. Stewart has disposed of several rams
Al SO each TO different parties near Terry,
who wish TO improve their stock.

Judge Willard for ChiefJustice of the
State, and the Legislature elected him.
To show the liberal spirit of that body
and its willingness to decide upon the

British shareholders of the Illinois Cen

the company, have made a very favora-
bic report, especially touching the pros
poets of that part of the line known as
the New Orleans, St. Louis and Chicago.
a statement made by Mr.. Clarke, the
present head Of the line extending from
New Orleans to Canton, shows that the
net income derived from this line in
twelve months was 1890, 900, in spite of
several material disadvantages not likely
to recur. Engines and cars have been
repaired during the year, several bridges
have been rebuilt, and supply Of timber
is already on hand paid for out of the
income, to thoroughly repair all the
bridges on the line The old chair rails
upon the roed are being replaced by new
steel rails, with finished joints, a Id Mr..
Clarke thinks that the line will be put in
thoroughly good condition during the
summer. The delegates report that they

in the Southern States are moderate as
compared with working railways in the
