The committee on resolutions adopted the
following:
WHEREAS, The depth of water in the Saint
Mary's canal and river is inadequate to the free
passage of vessels of greater draught than
twelve feet, thus limiting their tonnage capac-
ity to the minimum, and increasing the cost of
merchandise brought to the Northwest to the
maxi of water transit; and
WHEREAS, The superior advantages of water
transit via Lake Superior, Huron, Erie and
Ontario, thence via the st. Lawrence river to
the ocean, for the rapidly increasing cereals of
the West and Northwest, numbered by millions
OF bushels, imply, if fully developed, an en-
HANGED value for the products of the soil in the
valleys of the Missouri, Big Barn and Yellow
stone rivers, and upon the almost boundless
fertile plains of Saskatchewan, Dakota, Mime
sofa and Iowa and
WHEREAS These impediments to the free and
fnll passage OF merchant vessels engaged in the
transfer OF merchandise and produce between
the East and the West via Lake Superior, are
damaging hlndrance to The rapid settiemel OF
the West and the Northwest; and
WHEREAS, The present harhor facilities at
Duluth, Minnesota, the most western accessi-
Die point IN the entire chain of the greao lakes,
are not sufficient to protect the daily increasing
commerce at its port: therefore,

through which the immense business now being
developed by the trans-continental Northern
Pacific, and other lines of railroad tributary to
Duluth, must seek outlet to the cheapest
mode OF transit known, namely: ater, via
Lake Superior, and that they will cheerfully
cooperate with the people of the West and
Northwest, to impress upon the attention of
Congress the urgent necessity of continued
harbor Improvements at Duluth.
IteSot1e0, That we recognize the imperative
necessity of better and complete facilities of
transit by increased depth of water IN the st.

Messrs. Editors:
No paper has stronger hold on our peo-
pie than the Bulletin. Each week we hail
It's coming with the greatest pleasure l
am instructed to report some proceedings
to you. The league committee appointed
TO attend to that shaving business held a
meeting, called specially to consider whether
it was within the letter and spirit of our
Constitution to undertake such work. A
quorum being present, Z. w. Daniel was
called to the chair and my honorable self
chosen secretary. Capt. r. g. Day was
chosen to speak on the constitutiOnality of
shaving. The chair having explained the
object of the meeting, proceeded 10 give his
objections TO shaving. lie said there were
many kinds of shaving The carpenter
shaved, and that shaving was useful; the
barber shaved, and that was endurable, pro-
vided the razor was sharp; but the hardest,
the worst kind of shaving, was that done by
hard-hearted money-loving, money chang
er, who always demanded and got g shave
of twenty-five per cent off a fellows note
when carried TO him to be cashed After
his plain but forcible speech, the question
was opened for general discussion. Esquire
Jackson and Capt. Day eloquently con-
tended that people ought to be shaved when
nothing else would do them good. You
must treat patient according to the dis
ease. IneSe speakers maze q strong eU0rt
to influence the meeting, and il would be a
difficult task to attempt to give full outlines
of all that was said. just as all had fan
ished, young Armstrong rose with ire
mendous speech against shaving. He com
pared the arguments of Messrs. Jackson
and Day to the fox that had his tail cut of
and advised ali the other foxes that it was
fashionable to have no tails and that they
ought to cut theirs off. The fact IS jackson
and Day cant raise a beard; hence they
favored shaving, even with the dullest razor.
l feel sorry for them. They are getting
very bald and are negotiating for a wig
apiece. Don't let the girls know this. J
Armstrong; speech was 80 convincing the
chairman dismissed the committee.=The
Bulletin is getting to be mighty popular
about here. l heard a man say that single
families were taking two or more copies
and another said that he and two OF Mr.,
w. B. Sweeton's family and his nephew, all
living together, were subscribers. Another
club of twenty is being raised. Success to
you. Men encourage what is right=We

to your interest to do So for your paper will
be still more largely circulated. Our PEG

Notwithstanding the fact that our town is

noring violins, jews-harps, and whistling

with harmony still more delightful and in
symphony with the soul. We have lntelli-

of modern civilization, the railroad and the

is such that VIC do not hesitate TO give an

Monday night, by appointment, the friends
of the Murphy cause in Bolivar met at the
Methodist church to arrange plans for the
proposed temperance work in our town.

of three on Arrangements were appointed,
consisting of A. P IiIler, D. w. Parron and

That your many re aders nay hear from

allow space for this scribbling. Our people
afe in good heart and full of hope for the
future. Being a Granger, and Secretary Of
Salisbury Grange No. 81, l will give you
an idea Of the deep interest our members
feel in improving their lands. Up to this
date we have bought, through our agency,
tISenty-one bushels OF clover seed, forty-hve
of orchard grasR, sixteen of timothy and
red top, besides ten tens Of land plaster.
This is but fraction of the fertilizers and
seed bought in this section. Moreover each
member IS a subscriber TO some agricultural
journal, whereas few years back not a
journal OF the kind was taken. As to fruit
trees, We are having large snd choice or
chaTGs planted, and in a few years the fruit
product of this section will be very large
and remuneTatiye. We cent to Virginia for
plaster, at greater saving than the samo
article could be furnished in Memphis.
Much improved machinery has been bought
in this district. At this tiEne we have eight
reaping machines in this neighborhood, be
sides four threshers. Last year District No.
l raised seven thousand bushels of wheat,
and this season the yield ia expected to be
much larger. Our stock also has been
greatly improved. We have the best breed
of sheep-Campbell Brown and Crutchfeld
hocks well represented. Labor is ample
and contented. Cotton among the negroes
is yielding to corn. They are careful to
save all kinds of manure and to improve
the lands they cultivate. We have plenty
of corn for home demand, and meat to sell.
The crop prospect is fine. would be glad
to hear from other sections of the county
through the Bulletin Of the progress made
in stock raising, wheat and grass culture,
and other departments of farm work Let
US tell each other our modes of improve
ment, and compare notes as to the best way
to make our lands produce the most without
exhausting them. Success to you and your

vitation. After singing, the reverend gen

was followed by singing, and then he was
| introduced TO the audience. He gave 4
summary of the Murphy reform-its origin,
| development, and present status before the
country. Its cardinal principle is moral
suasion. 1t seeks not to irritate, not to
abuse the liquor seller and liquor drinker,
but to De their friend-to show them
wherein is their true good, and to plead
with them TO forsake forever the cup and
give the strength of their influence to the
