Slow But Sure.

The slow fighter was a tall,
raw boned specimen of the Pike county
breed, and when he arrived in the mining
camp the boys began to have fun with
him-to mill him." as thew call it in
the parlance of the mines.
He stood it for a long time with perfect
equanimity, until finally one of the party
dared him out of doors to fight.
He went. When they got all ready
and squared of, Pike county stretched
out his long neck and presented the tip
OF his big nose temptingly close to his
tormentor q I'm a little slow" he said.
" and can't fight unless Pm well riled !;
Just paste me one-a good 'un--right on
the end of that smellerI" !"
His request was complied with.
That was good 'uD, he said, calmly,
"but I don't feel quite riled yit"-
(turning the side of his head to his
adversary" please chug me another
lively one under the ear"
The astonished adversary again com
piled, whereuPon Pike county, remark
ing that he was not quite as we'll TileG
as be would like to be, but would do the
best he could" sailed into the crowd
and for the next ten days the boys
were engaged in mending broken jaws
repairing damaged eyes and tenderly
resurrecting smashed nOses.-N 0. Dem

of New York, in 1870. was worth $780,
100000 at twenty-five cents per pound.
The cotton crop of Georgia, that year,
was worth but S25. 100000. The butter,
cheese and milk of New York, for that
year, were worth S42, 900, 900, ifsoId even
at present prices. The cotton crop of
Georgia and Alabama, for that year, at
present prices, would bring but forty
three million dollars. The agricultural
bureau at Washington reports larger
yield of hay, per acre, in the south, for
years past, than in the north; yet Mas
sachusetts, not one-eighth as large as
Georgia, produces six hundred thousand
tons for her horses and cattle, while
Georgia produces but eleven thousand
tons. Little Rhode Island, with but
five counties and ene-fortieth the area of
Mississippi, produces ten times as much
hay as the latter state

men? Here is

It is presented because Memphis has
some of the largest and most reliable
boot and shoe houses in the Mississippi
valley-houses whose constantly growing
trade shows that they possess the
full confidence of the retail merchants
trading here. Massachusetts, had but
100000 cattle in 1870, Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi had inward of 2, 800, 200.
Yet, the dry hides are sent from the
south to Massachusetts,, where they
are tanned, dressed and made into boots
and shoes for the very people who slaught-
cred the animals; and now the hair from
their bodies is often sent back to us for
plastering purposes. It should create no
surprise if the bones were gathered up
and sent to the Yankee mills for CONVEX
sion into powder to be used for fertilizing
the very fields the cattle once grazed
upon. Should we not convert most of
these hides into boots and shoes? And
would not such an industry start others
Would it not start other and different
manufactures, and thus add to our pop
ulatiOn by diversifying our industries
To ask such questions is to answer them.
Now let us look at

Hon. J. 4. Trezevant, of Arkansas-
Cotton Growing States Compared
with misunderstanding States.
The Hon. J. T. Trezevant, of Arkan-
sas, in a series of articles on the products
of the south and the manufactures of
the north compared, published in the
Memphis Appeal, writes as follows:
Perhaps the facts found in the follow
ing tables, from the census report of
1870, may serve to stimulate the active
interest already manifested by some of
our leading citizens. That the facts
may be seen in their most striking light,
I have compared the three small states of
Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode
Island with the three larger ones of
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. These
last illustrate the cotton growing inter
ests the others, the ~cOttOn-manufactur-
ing interests. The manufacturing states
have a cold climate, and soil not suited
to the higher conditions of agriculture.
The cotton states have a soft, delightful
climate, and a soil so fertile as TO pro-
duce, in unlimited amount, under good
culture, all the grains, grasses and fruits,
besides rice, sugar and cotton. When
we consider that the one item Of cotton,
in some form or other, has freighted and
still freights more ships, sinks more
mines, builds more machinery, organizes
more moneyed institutions, creates more
commerce, and clothes more people than
any other product of the earth, we may
we'll wonder why those who grow it do
not also measurably control its manufac-
ture. The tables below are so arranged
as to invite attention without confusing,
and under each, I have ventured to make
such comments as seem proper.
Table No. gives the area of the states
named above, with the population of
each, the population per square mile, the
total wealth of each, and the wealth per
capita, according to the census of 1870.
l have added Tennessee to the list, as
Memphis is her great commercial focus.

L nave selected Cnls table because one
of the largest branches of the Memphis
wholesale trade is in cotton goods. 1t
shows where they are mostly manufac-
tured. A month ago I asked two of our
well-known and leading dry goods firms
where they bought their Georgia cotton
goods, and the reply of both was " in
New York" These merchants have a
large and steadily growing trade with
the retail merchants of Tennessee, Ala
bama, Mississippi and Arkansas, and if
such goods could be manufactured here
the wholesale trade of these merchants
would soon be quadaupled. Look at
the amounto operatives, and the amount
paid out for the raw cotton. With cot
ton factories here, would not demand
for other factories, greater or smaller,
spring up? Has not the trade in straw
berries here built up large manufacture
of boxes, baskets, ETC., and given an ad-
ditional demand for lumber and work
men? Here is

much TO illustrate the great importance
of manufactures as to show how carelesslv
we use the advantages We have. Is there
any good reason why the miIch COW of

seven pounds of butter, while the COW of
Mississippi yields but fifteen pounds?
Is there any good reassn why the COW of
New York should annually yield eighty
pounds of butter, while that of Tennessee
yields but forty, that of Georgia but
twenty, and that of Alabama fifteen? Is
there any good reason why Massachusetts,

VIII Case To inherit legacy from an
estate it must be specifically mentioned in
what the legacy consists About fourteen
months ago Miss Ursula WiIcoxen died, be-
quea,hing all Of her property save some
cash money 10 a niece Mrs. John G. England,
Jr., and the cash money to several individuals
with the exception of five hundred dollars,
which was bequeathed to the Protestant Epis-
copal church in this town. Mr. John q.
England, Jr, husband of the chief egatee,
at that time was made Administrator. a. the
expiration Of the wears notice to creditors,
&c, for settlement, the Administrator closed
the estate. Here the trouble between the par
ties concerned IN the matter begins. Mrs
England has all of her legacy specified in real
property and bonds, while the Request TO the
other legawes was in so many dollars, but are
not specified in what they shall consist. The
Administrator settling up the estate payed all
debts incurred thereby out of the remaining
portion of the estate after giving his wife her
full legacy. lie alleges that after this adjust
ment there were but several hundred dollars
left, and further there never was any more
surplus. The church protested against such a
settlement by employing Messrs Talbot and
Anderson to appear 10 its behalf in the Or
phans' Court on Tuesday last and petition for
a repeal Of the power granted the a imtnistra-
tor to close the estate. The Court granted the
petition The church have determined to en-
ter suit against the Administrator in the Cir
cult Court and have The will clearly interpret
