Col. Phillips knows more about the
Indians than any other man in the
United States, and advises the Congress
donal delegation Of Kansas to unite
In Recommending him for the position

question the Abilene Gazette says:
We notice that the appointment of
Col. Phillips as commissioner Of In
dian ahAirs h strongly urged by his
friends. His qualifications for the po-
sition are 1t least equal to those of any
ether man In the country. nexperi-
enoe Of many years with Indian char

Two weeks ago we published a
statement made by the Richland
Beacon to the effect that q colored
cow-thief had been fastened up in
the cavity Of a disemboweled cow
and remained in that condition un-
til released by some parties pass
ing by. The Beacon stated that
this occurred in the 5th ward of
this parish. Several reliable citi-
zens Of that ward request us to de-
ny the charge. They say, that
while they do not condemn the
mode of punishment alleged to have
been inflicted, they do protest
against the accusation of cow-steal-
ing in their ward. For the protec-
ton of the name of their ward they
wish it understood that the Beacon
was misinformed as to the geog-
raphy of the bovine tragedy. We
are glad the fifth can yindicate her.
self from the charge. The tortures
that the buzzards gave the thief
while occupying the position of a
cows paunch, car be regarded
zone the less excruciating, no mat
ter if he was a thousand miles from
the fifth ward. Wherever it took
place, it was a Cow-PITAL mode of
punishment.
The Beacon must not accuse this
parish OF theft falsely. Richland
was doubtless the scene of action.

the Monroe and Bastrop telegraph

Slick, and he lives in the 9th ward.

Since last Sunday we have had
pleasant weather. Wednesday
a slow rain fell all day. AS
one extreme generally follows
another we need not be sur
prised to see a great deal of rain
this Fall. Get out your cotton as
early as you can; it will waste
rapidly in the field.
The Morehouse clarion., 1881-09-16

The long wished-for rain has
come. The parched earth has been
watered at last. 1t drank in the
cooling waters like sponge. The
air feels invigorating. Man and
beast are revived. Everybody
moves with more energy. People
lift thankful hearts toward heaven
and are grateful for a rain one time
more.
Now SOW your turnips SOW
bountifully. Much can be yet pro-
duced that will be valuable for VIM
ter consumption. Plant rye and
other small grain for winter pas
lures. Double your energy to
house your cotton. Let it all be
gathered ere the biting frosts of
winter Jingle your fingers. The
protracted drouth Of 1881 is in
the past. It's results we shall all
feel keenly for many months.
Should 1t tend to make this great
nation more humble and more de-
pendent upon the mysterious work
ings of an omniscient Providence,
His designs may be accomplished.
For n we hail the refreshing rain
that fell this week with profound
thanks from the great deep of our
heart. May our country never see
such another blighting season.
The intention of every merchant
in town, with whom we have talked
on the subject, is to make his ut
most endeavors to assist next year
those of his customers who act hon
estly this Winter. 1t will pay no
man to "run his cotton" this Fall.
Bring your crop to your creditors
and act the man. In your misfor-
tunes you have the sympathy and
will elicit the assistance of the
money powers of the parish. Many
of your creditors, perhaps, stand
pledged to pay for the provisions
you have consumed this year: do
not forsake them because your
crops are light. Never was there a
time which demanded strict integ-
rity from everybody more power
fully than the present.
