THE OPENING OF HATCHIE RIVER.


Major Birney, of the L. S. Engin-
eer Corps, has completed the survey of
Ha chic river from Bolivar to its
mouth. In advance of his official re
port we are informed that $4,000,
according to,his estimate, will suffice
to clear the river of all Instructions
and insure uninterrupted navigation
to this point.
The Major was surprised to see that
this natural highway had been so long
neglected. Before this stream was
closed to navigation immense cargoes
of cotton and other produce were ship
ped to market down the waters at a
trifling. We are informed that TWEEN
ty-fve years ago as much as 10000
bales Of cotton per year were shipped
from Bolivar down this stream to
Memphis and New Orleans.
Clear out the river 50 that boats can
ge' to Bolivar, and again we will
ship as much. This is matter
ofvital Importance to our people, and
we trust Congress will make the nee
c 'sary appropriation. Our Represen-
tatives should not neglect it.

MASON & HA1rLIN ORGANS.
Wholesale Southern Depot.

As will be seen by advertisement in this
issue the Mason & Hamiin Organ Co, have
established a Southern Wholesale Distribu-
ting Depot at Savannah, Ga, under man
agement of MesSrs. Ludden & Bates, who
have been their wholesale agents for the
mast eight years. The sale OF Mason <
HamIin Organs in the south has always been
immense but within the past year or so the
demand has been 50 Overwhelmingly large
that the establishment of Il Grand southern
Distributing Depo: from which dealers and
Agents could be more conveniently supplied
became almost 4 necessity. The long eN-
pcrience Of Messrs. Ludden & Bates IN sell
ing Mason & Hamlin Organs and in run
Di1o their Iare. music trade makes them
competent to manage the W hole
sale Depot. They are the right men in the
right place and viii organize and develop "a
trade for Mason q IIamlin that viii give
those worthy gentlemen asl idea OF what 4
solid musical South really Is. The musical
world endorse the Mason & Hamlln Organs
and the entire South endorse Ludden q
Bats and their way OF selling musical IN
s.ruments at living prices. The opening OF
their Grand Southern Music House at Sa-
vanuah, with its branches at Augusta and
Atlanta, Ia. jacksonville, Fla, Charleston
and Greenville, 5. c. was the Inauguration
OF low prices and easy terms IN the Soutls
and a strict adherence TO this policy has
given them their rank cf the leading Music
House Of the South. such vide awake
house deserves tie hearty support oi our
people, but the only claim they make Tor

COTTON.

The recent circular issued by La
than, Alexander & Co, Bankers and
Cotton Brokers, New York City,
states that there is a deficiency in the
worlds cotton supply amounting to
100000 bales. They claim that the
price Of this staple will be sustained.
No danger of a decline in Il legitimate
market. That is the danger The
cotton market is J,dlea and beared by a
gang of unmincipled money sharks,
who control Liverpool, New York and
New Orleans quotations each day:
determine the rates and then have the
prices telegraphed all over the land.
The only remedy at hand is for the
planter not to sell until he gets liv-
ing price. 1t he can afford to hold
his cotton, do so, and before March
next he will be one-third better off as
far as his crop is concerned. If the
bulk of the cotton crop could be held
back ninety days, the South would re
ali2e twenty millions more than were
it sold to day. just as soon rs most OF
the crop is in the hands efspeculators
then a rise will take place. Fortunes
were made last year and will be this
season, out of tho dire necessities Of
those who are compelled Ito sell at q
low price. If you can, keep back 2
bale or two. Deny yourself-livo
close and in the spring you will have
more ready money.

A Curious Lake.

In Colorado is a ten-acre field which
is no more than a subterrancan lake
covered with soil about eighteen inch
es deep. On the soil is cultivated a
field of corn which produces thirty
or forty bushels to the acre. If any
one will take the trouble to dig o hole
the depth of spade handle he will
find it to fill with water, and, by using
a hook and line, fish four or five inches
long can be caught The fish have
neither scales nor eyes, and are perch
like in shape. The ground is n black
mari in It's nature, and in all probable
ity was at one time an open body Of
water, on which was accumulated veg
etable matter, which has been increas-
ed from time to time, until now it has
a crust sufficiently strong and rich to
produce fine corn, though it has to be
cultivated by hand, as it is not strong
enough to bear the weight of a horseS
While harvesting the field-hands catch
strings of fish by punching hole
though the earth. \ person rising on
his heel and coming down can see the
growing corn shake all around him.
Any one having the strength TO drive
rail through this crust viii find on
releasing it that it Will disappear all
together. The whole section Of coun-
~ surrounding this field gives evil
lence OF marshiness, and the least rain
Produces an abundance Of mud. But
he question comes up, has not this
body m outlet Although brackish,
he water tastes rs ii fresh, and is eyi-
lently not stagnant. Yet those fish
re evelcss and scaleltss--sinilar to
hose found in caves.
