EDrTOR TRIBUNE Allow me 4 small space
in your valuable paper to add my testimony
TO the good qualities of head and heart OF
our much esteemed fellow citizen JAS. A.
Emmons.
As evidence of his tender -heartcdness and
kind feeling to the poor, let me relate the
touching story of poor David Crowthers, a
man, who in his palmy days, was as much
respected as any one in the country. Poor
Crowthers got lost on the prairies, and after
wandering about for many days with moth
ing to sustain life but poisoned wolf meat,
was found and brought in, but alas, only
the wreck of his former self. His once bril-
liant mind was clouded forever. Did Mr..
Emmons, then county commissioner, desert
his former fast friend? No, far from it. On
the contrary, he generously provided for poor
Crowthers at the expense of the county. lie
even went to the trouble of hiring mournele &
to attend the funeral of poor .Davy, and the
bills were all paid by the county. But two
persons, Alex. Mckenzie and the Rev. J. NJ.
Bull, besides the hired mourners, attended
the funeral, and hard time they had of it.
A terrific blizzard was blowing at the time.
The hired (monsters) mourners, had filed
themselves with Champion Hall benzine so
thoroughly that they were entirely useless for
anything except to mourn, and it is we'll
known fact that when the funeral party ar
rived at the grave they made the discovery
that the corpse was missing. Unnoticed by
the mourners, the coffin had slipped from
under them, and was lost in a snow drift:
Jimmy did not attend the funeral on ac-
count of the blizzard, and at that time he
had no overcoat.
The way he pitches into that deputy is good.
Deputy richly deserves all he got. What was
he a year ago, but a common street cleaner
and gatherer of ashes.. No one says but that
he done his work we'll enough, but what
business has he to be deputy and write
try to down Mr.. Emmons. He can't do it.
Mr.. Emmons is too able man for this dep
uty tax payer to attack with any reasonable
hope of SUCCESS. remember a few years ago
when the question of building the court
house was being agitated. Differences of
missioners. Enmons at this time had an op-
ponent, since raised to the bench, worthy of
his steel, They argued aud debated for days
and days at So per day, and exhibited such
high grade of oratorical power; and displayed
such thorough knowledge of legal lore that
it was not to be wondered at, that Lester, the
great ncahone, appointed them to high
places in the renowned order of Red Men. 1
attended the opera house last night but was
not pleased with the performance. The
following was suggested to my mind as an
appropriate prayer in which think you will
join.
From opera singers like Ellen Banks,
From fools and kraves and long haired cranks,
Good Lord, deliver us.

;cently from the Department of Agricul
'ture say that cotton reports of September
list TO that department show a heavy de-
cline in the condition CT cotton since the
last report, owing to 4 protracted drought
which has prevailed in all sections OF The
cotton belt. The general average condi-
tion of the corn crop on September Isl
was 60, being II per cent lower than the
month previous, and 81 per cent lower
than year ago at the same date. The
cause Of the low condition existing III al
most every section of the country Is
drought. The returns from corresponds
ents give very serious decline in the
prospects for crop OF tobacco. The av'
erage for the whole country is only 90
against SO last month and 81 at this same
