Locations for stock Ranches.

Locations for Stock Ranches.
In answer to various letters lately
received we would say yes, there are
plenty of good locations for stock farms
or hemesteads within thirty miles Of this
city, both north and south Of the Arkan-
sas, ON never-failing streams O1water, with
plenty of timber for fuel and stock shell
ter.
About six miles north of Dodge is
Duck Creek. which abounds in cool, bub-
bling springs, and whose fertile valley
is capable Of sustaining numerous herds of
cattle all the year around on the nutritious
native grass. There 10 some brush and q
little timber along this creek. MIR. Dubbs
has q very handsome land convenint stock
rancho, which Is the only one yet taken
on the stream.
Sawiog, OF the South Fork of of the
Pawnec. is about ten miles north of town.
This stream il somewhat larger than Duck
Creek. and has . much larger amount Of
TIMBER on its banks. Wild fruits, such as
piums, grapes. cherries, ETC., are found
there in abundance. Fish of the largest
and finest fresh water varieties abound in
the llmpid waters. Grass is ample for
grazing purposes, and tho soil will pro-
duce all kinds of vegetables and cereals
especislly winter wheat. Beautiful mag
nesian limestone 10 easily quarried.
The Middle Fork Of the Pawnes, or
Buckner, tweaty-two miles from Dodge,
north. is = magnificent stream for any
purpose. Heavy bodies of fine timber
grow on its banks, rank grass and luxunant
vegetation cover its valley for miles on
either side, which dries mp and cures
before frost comes, on which cattle will
fatten in mid winter, without the trouble
of putting up hay or feeding grain. The
volume of water flowing down this stream
in ouite large, and very deep in places.
Beaver, otter and fish OF various kinds are
quite numerous and easily taken. One
party took 1O beaver ON TINS stream 'sst

Between these streams are the nnest

TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN.
Various asperslves having been cast on
the fair fame of our medical fraternity
relative to their conduct ON the night Of
the Ellenwood disaster, we take pleasure
in stating that We accompanied these gen
tlemen to the scene of action; were with
them during their professional work for
the victims. and know of our own knowl-
edge that all of our fraternity were
ENTIRELY SOBER
throughout the whole time. We further
state that none of them drank any liquor
on the way up. or during their work that
night. The majority of our doctors have
been here long time. and are too well
known to need any recommendation at
home. VeIy truly, &c.

was on the wrecked train and took
breakfast at Ellinwood with the medical
fraternity of Hutchinson at O'Clock the
next morning, and can certify that they
were all duly sober.
s. B. ZIMMERMAN,
Prin. Hutchinson School.
1t does not matter to US whether the
Hutchinson doctors were drunk or sober,
but N Justice to ourselves We must say
that our previous remarks were based
upon the word of reliable gentleman
with whom We are well acquainted. who
was a passenger on the wrecked train.
However, q certificate from such eminent
gentlemen as the above ought to be suffi-
cient to establish a character of sObriety
and virtue for the most dissipated sot in
Hutchinson. We hope they were all duly
sober during that trip to EllinwOod, but
the Hutchinson Herald mans name ought
to have been left of the certificate, or the
words none of them drank any liquor left
out, as his paper frankly admitted that
the medical gents might have taken some
of the brandy which they took along for
the sufferers. 1t is perfectly natural that
they should, and we should think none
the less of them for it. In our estimation
the certificate would have been less vul-
nerable if it HAD been limited to the
question of sObriety.

The fact that the lines are not drawn
this campaign between the Republicans
and Democrats upon county matters,
should not be allowed to mislead any
one into thinking that it is merely a
contest between men. There is prin.
ciple ut stake. The issue is between
Ring and Anti-Ring, between politi-
cal clique Of of1ice-seekers and the peo-
pie. The question is whether ringism
shall rule Mobiles county, or whether
the people shall rule it fairly and open
ly.
Every man who votes for Walker,
Town and Barber, votes for Ringism
and the perpetuation of the Worthing.
ton ring. Every man who votes for
Mills, Johnson and Craft, votes to oyer
throw ringism and break up the Wor-
Ellington ring.
