FAIRMoNT, Fillmore Co., Neb.,
November Doth 1870


November 29th, 1879. I
Last winter l taught school and earned
enough over and above the cost of my
board to buy 100 bushels of wheat. I
bought team on time for $3.50. [ rented
IS acres of land on shares and putt all in
wheat. Harvested fair crop from 48
acres of it.
My share was 500 bushels. I sold it for
enough to pay for my team, and seeder,
an iron beam pillow and harrow. [ did
other jobs of breaking and blowing, earn
ing thereby enough to pay my expenses,
This was not as good a crop year as
1878. Now that my team and nipple
ments are paid for, I expect with the pro-
ceeds Of my next crop to buy me farm,
and I will make the proceeds of the crops
which raise, pay for it. Fairmont is on
the line of the Burlington & Missouri
River r. r., in Nebraska.

It is now estimated that Arizona. from all
 classes of it's citizens, contains population
 of about Se.o00 souls. This is not as i,
 should be The valley of the Salt River alone. should contain that number, to say nothing of ths Gina, $ m Pedro. Santa Cruz, and inuumerable other streams that are capable of maintaining population of from 5000 to l2,oOo people. Aside from our agricultural districts, we have boundleas extent of mineral territory capable of as fordlng profitable employment to two or three hundred thousand hsniy miners, which would al once place Arizona in tue hrst rank as a sta,e among those of she Union. While lse have thess great re- sources, fine climate and grea, opportuni. tunities, still VIC find our increase mesgre snd slow.

 He said that the people of the South were united as Democrats, aon would remain so. mat the South stood ready for another re. oeiiion whenever, in it's opinion, the oc. casi"n required it.
