Thirteen loads of wheat, from Centeryille,
Turner county, was marketed in Vermillion
last Tuesday. And this is just beginning.
The location Of the Iverson & Gunderson
Touring mill, near Amund Hansen's, has
been christioned Lincolnville, as it is near
Lincoln postoffice.
Our streets are crowded with wagons
every morning before nine o'clock. They
come in loaded with wheat and go out load
ell with wood, lumber and merchandise.
Dull times are played out in Vermillion.
The price Of wheat is still on the decline,
but it is more likely that this is owing to GER
tain manipulations of the market, than to
any causes which may make the decline per
manent. We shall still expect 81 for our
wheat before winter se!s in.
Canton is praying Sioux City for an ex.
tension of the Portlsndvillc branch of the

is praying for the St Paul & Pacific r. r

The Infamous Cruelties Practiced in
the South.
WAsHrNeros, Jan II

fH by +t N.. NASHISGTOa, Jan u.
Congressman Joyce, of Vermont, a
member of the Louisiana Investigating
Committee, arrived here from New Or
leans last night He was member of
the sub committee which went to East and
West Feliciana Parishes and Baton Rouge.
Mr.. Joyce SAYS he can only speak OF the
parts of Louisiana he has seen, but If the
whole State is like those parishes he WIS.,
ised it ought to be legislated into barbar-
ssm at once, for he never heard of cruel
ties more infamous than those practEed
there on colored people for political 'pur-
poses Before, he went South he had an
IDEA that great deal Of the outrage
busiaess' was newspapsr talk for political
etfest, but no newspaper he ever read ap-
proIehed an adequate description of the
barhariiies perpetrated.
They were not so great shis year as fos-
merly, because there was 40 necessity fog
them, In 1872, 1874 and 1875 the colorea
people were so outraged W. to be thrown
into = state of tsrru from which they
will never recover, and all the White
Leagus have now to do is 10 tap colored
man al The shoulder and say, Come,
you, and join our Democratic Club. All
niggess must vote the Democratic ticket
this elsctionl" And the nagro will obey
like r. passive slave, because he has
leaine&Iby example and experience that
it costs. more than life is worth to be a Re-
publican. Mr. Joyce says that very few
negroes-eould be persuaded to testify be-
fore thu committee, because the sessions
we're public and their prosecutors pres
ent, SO that every word they might say
would be USED against them. From
most OF the neg0 testimony alone,
Mr.. .loyee says, one would sup
pose that the State WAS, as Wat
lerson said, las quiet as a nur-
sery - but he went about among them
mo. .irigg privately into matters, and, by
assn ring them that they would not be
called upon to testify, he got much infor-
mat ion which was valuable i'll suggesting
que, ,tiops to be put 10 White League wit
ness es. Mr. Joyce went into the John
Gair case extensively, and learned from
the mogths of Democratic witnesses the
names NJ the men who took part in Gair's
mui der as well as the murder of his
sisu,r, Babe Matthews, who was
accused of attempting TO poison Doctor
san derh The circumstances have been
wild ely published and will be remember.
ed. Joyce got Sanders himself into so
DIES pcrle a position that the latter at
tempted to kill him, aud was only pre-
vented by New, Of Indiana, and Beebe,
of New York, Democratic members OF
the committee. Mr.. joyce knew nothing
of the matter until ON the cars from New
Orleans, when he was told the whole CIR.
cp,msnnceS by Mr.. Beebe.

Why ADVERTISE

People sometimes ask why does Dr.. R. =
Pierce, Of Buffalo, N. T., spend 80 much
money in advertising his family medicines
which are so well known and surpass ali
other remedies in popularity and sale Ith|
well known that A. T. Stewart considered
it good policy, and undoubtedly it paid him,
to spend many hundred thousand dollars il|
advertising his goods, yet nobody ques
toned the excellence of his merchandise
The grand secret OF success lies in offering
only goods which possess merit to sustaii
themselves, and then through liberal and
persistent advertising making the peop;|
thoroughly acquainted with their good qua
tiles. Men do not succeed in amassing great
fortunes, establishing thriving and perms
ncnt business, and founding substantial iB|
situations like DR.. Pieuee's Grand Invalidsl
Hotel at Buffalo, which cost over two hun
drcd thousand dollars, unless their business
be legitimate, their goods meritorious and
their services which they render the peopls|
genuine and valuable. Dr. Pierce does not
