BUSINESS AND Markets Business
in Hickman this week has been quiet and
uneventful. The severe weather which
has been prevailing has impeded the push
beginning to appear. The receipt Of corn
is the only big thing on the market, and
that continues very large The prospects
of business and trade the incoming sprinq
is just now splendid The rebuilding Of
the Hick nan Oil Mills, which is now con.
sidered an assured fact, will give employ
ment TO large number of operatives
The city, we learn, will make gift Of
the ground, and also stipulate in coniune-
ton with the railroad to complete the
permanent improvements of the wharf
which will also give employment to
large number of working men. A prop
osition is also pending, in reliable shape,
for the building Of an elevator this sea-
son at Hickman by private company,
on condition that the railroad will give
said company the contract for transfer
ring river freigbts at this point. This it
is believed the railroad viii do. The Oil
Mill, we learn, will be rebuilt in brick,
which if true, together with the several
other large bricks in contemplation, will
bring up a big boom in brick making.
Altogether, the prospects are favorable
for considerable improvements good en-
ployment for workingmeu Sc to relieve
the dull trade of the approaching sum mer
months.

$40 AN ACRE-IT PAYs-The ex
perience Of the farmers Immediately
around Hickman who tried raising cotton
last year, demon strates the fact that it is
a good paying crop. Messrs. Bass and
Stan6eld, and perhaps others, realized
$40 an acre on their cotton, and this is
certainly good, aud attainsble by any
other good farmers. We direct the atten-
tiou of renters, and particularly Of that
class of farmers who have children capa-
bic of work in cotton patches, to these
figures. $40 an acre is good pay. Farm
els near Hickman have special advant-
ages in raising cotton. Hickman IS
splendid market, in bringing to Hickman
gins, there is but one hauling to get the
cotton and seed into the very market that
affords ready sale and the best prices.
Our farmers should investigate these
statements, talk to those who have tried
it; and seeing the facts, try it, and get
your neighbors to try it. Remember that
early planting is the key in this section.

How Italian LabOroTS
Live.

A number of Italian laborers
have been employed on the great
hotel at | ong Beach, and their
manner of life is so peculiar as to
be worthy Of notice. Two
hundred of these men abide in an
old tent or shed, sleeping 60 close
together that their persons touch.
Their cooking is exceedingly
slight. Oatmeal dropped raw in
cold water. aud half a loaf Of
bread comprise a breakfast for
one. Half a loaf Of bread, with
lard as a substitute for butter, two
smoked behring's and cold water
serve for dinner. Supper is
generally a repetition Of the
matutinal repast, and this pro,
gramme continues week after
week, the Sunday making no
exception. They are thus enabled
each to live at a cost of less than
one dollar per week, probably not
more than se%venty-iye cent. They
pay four cents per loaf for bread,
one cent each for smoked herring,
and a dimes value of raw oatmeal
lasts several DAYS. On such diet
thew seem 10 retain the most robust
health, and can endure severe
exposure and exertion. Gambling
is an inherent and absorbing
practice, The game lasting often
from dark until daylight. The
general plan is to place pennies in
q hat, which is then reversed, end
all that comes down heads up are
retained by the tosser, while tails
are replaced in the dicer.-Neu
