From the "SlLfl1lH South

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. %, 1882.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:-Cot occu-
pies very much the same position among
the products of the South that wheat did,
few years ago, among the products of
the North. For long time everything.
was subordinate to wheat. Now, instead
Of nearly all wheat, there is a variety of
products, with less hard work for the
farmer and great prosperity to the coua-
try. Just such an era as this is about to
dawn upon the South. Cotton will not
much longer be king. The past year has
proved to the farmers of the South that
they can raise other things, besides cot
ton, and that there is money in them and
less hard work. Am surprised at the
capacity of the soil here, when rightly
cultivated. March, April, May and
June yield almost everything common to
midsummer at the North; July, Au-
gust and September yield, in abundance,
on the same ground from which the spring
crops were taken, products common to q
semi-tropical climate, while many, with
little care or thought for the interests Of
the soil, raise third crop from the same
ground in the winter, mostly rye, oats OF
| wheat, cut green for fodder. Until re
Gently the farms have been given uE
| almost wholly to cotton, and nearly every
article of food has been supplied from th.
north. But very little butter is made
here. We are paying forty cents pc
pound for it, You see but few COWS
Hogs and poultry are equally scarce
But slowly and surely things are under
going a change here. The large planta
tons, of thousand acres each and some
times more, are being cut up into SINAI
farms and sold to men who, as at tn
north, live upon their farms and, person
alIy, do the work er superintend thos
who do it. This land can new be bough
at very low price, in some instances o
low as ten dollars per acre and With
| four miles of Montgomery. AS an ev
dence of the good results Of this ns'
method Of farming I will tell you of
recent visit to farm about four mila
from the city. 1t consists of forty acre
and was bought only few years ago, b
a man who had been all his life slave
for four hundred dollars. There were
when he bought it, no buildings upon i
nor rod of fence. He now has it a
nicely fenced, a good house, nice barr
and many useful outbuildings beside
He has an excellent lot of stock, inclut
ing several horses and mules, five cow
and full blood Jersey, a nice lot
young cattle, twenty-five hogs, one hui
| dred and fifty fowls, such as chicken
ducks, geese, guinea hens and turkey

ceivcd here of the death of Mahala, wife

Tucson, Arizona, Saturday, November
18th. Deceased had been in feeble
health for about three years and was
journeying with her husband towards the
Pacific coast in hopes of finding the res

bereft of his companion in life has the
sympathy of large circle of friends in
his sad bereavement.

Terrible Affair.

At noon yesterday, while young bull
was being driven to the establishment of
Greassr Brothers to be slaug htersd, the
animal broke away OH the corner Of West
Washington street and becoming mad
dened by the long drive of S miles, rushed
through the streets with wild fury knock
ing over 81. Bergman, John Neumann
and Mrs. F. Koepke, a resident of the
town of Watertown on the Milford road,
who at the time was selling eggs and
walking from her wagon to Goetts's COM
mission store Bergman and NsumanH
were not hurt seriously bat Mrs. KOepke
sustained dangerous, if not fatal injuries
from being stamped upon by the infuri-
ated beast, the bull attacking her twice.
She was carried to the residence Of j.
McGeean, close by, and the services OF
DIR. F. Werner procured. 1t was discoV-
cred that some arteries had been cut, and
the patient suffered frsm internal bleed
ing. Although her case is precarlous
one the Doctor has hopes Of her recovery
if the hemorrhags stops. Mrs. KoePke ls
a woman.of large family, her youngest
child being an infant. The parties srlv,

Ter their culpable negligence.

Death of FTdnE EOlCth

A dispatch was received by the rela-
lives in JuneSu on Wednesday last from
Las Vegas, n NJ, announcing the death
in that city on the day previous of Frank
Lowth. While the sad news was not
wholly unexpected, his relatives and
| friends had still entertained hopes that
his removal to a more genial cline might
havs proved beneficial, and his health
restored. For several years past it was
evident thst consumption had claimed
Frank for victim, and the last year or
two of his life had been but a tedious
struggle for a prolonsation of life.
Frank Lovth was born in Dodge coun-
ty, May 9th, 1855. After attaining man
hood he was for several years the editor
of the Dodge County Democrat. Failing
health compelled him to sell out his paper
some years ago, when he entered the
employ of the c. & n. W. R. R. at Mil
waukee. He remained there until last
spring, when he returned to Juneau, and
it was evident that his struggle with life
was drawing to close. About the mid
die of October he went to New Mexico,
where he had been promised employment
from railroad company, but his weak
constitution was not able to stand the
change Of climate, and the end came,
probably sooner than if he had remained
at home. The body was brought to Ju-
nsau on Monday and was buried on the
following day. He leaves widew, an
aged mother, and several brothers and
sisters to mourn his loss, while two chill
dren, who died in babyhood, have gone
before.

The Board Of Supervisors.

The Jefferson County Board of Super
visors completed their work and adjourn,
ed Saturday, having been in session II
working days. The regular routine of
business was transacted without any diff
fcultie. arising, and the entire session
was harmonious. 1t was voted that the
proceedings Of the Board be published in
the following newspapers at an allow
snce of $50 each:
Jefferson Banner Fort Atkinson Union,
Waterfowl Gazette and Weltburger. On
the principle Of justice, equity and fair
play the list ought to have included the
other newspapers in the county. Why
there should have been corner gotten
up on this matter is not explained.
George Trucks was re-appointed Poor
Master for the First District. For the
Second District the choice fell upon w.
H Rohr, although we understand that
no fault was found with Mr.. Schultz s
administration OF the office during the
past year. The new appointment, kow-
ever, is good one and will meet general
approval. The Board made the necessary
arrangements for the erection of a new
barn for the use of the Sheriff. The as
sessed valuation on this city remains
about the same as last year.

Fire at Lowell.

Early Sunday morning fire was dis
covered in the hotel at Lowell On the east
side of the river, known as Finney's Ho-
tel. The fire gained Roadway so rapidly
that it was found impossible to save any
thing whatever of the contents Ct the
house, and it was only by great effort on
the part of the citizens that adjoining
property was saved from destruction. AS
it was the Tswn Hall on the east and
Hickey's saloon on the west side were
damaged to some extent. Nothing i,
known as to the origin of the fire. The
property was owned and occupied by J,
Mulcay, and was insured in the Home
of New York, for $500.

REDWOOD, November 81, 1882.

I
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:-No long ago
| mention was made through the columns
of one of the Watertown papers OF the
improvements made at Redwood by the
Railroad company, tor the convenience Of
loading cars. The improvements, how
ever, are not az good as they might be-
With little more expense, things could
be made much better and handler. Mr..
Sleeper has again commenced buying
grain here, and is paying Watertown
prices. The farmers living in the vi
cinity of Redwood would do well to take
advantage of the opportunities now Of
fersd of selling their grain. By deliver
ing it here, you get the same amount Of
money as you would in Watsrtown; and
again, you save the drudgery of hauling
it so far over the rough roads. We think
that the people of this place ought to ap-
preciate the efforts of Mr.. Sleeper in pro
viding them with market right at home.
This, however, is only a small item of
the many advantages that enterprising
men like the Sleeper Brss. throw cut
among the lsboring classes. Having a
clear comprehension of the real object for
which money is made, they are enabled
to cause it to move in such channels as
will tend most to benefit all classes. 1t
is well known that d. Griffin still
acts as one Of the agents of the above
named firm, and 10 now at this place.
We think it altogether unnecessary to
say anything in reference to him, as he
is too well known to require any COM
ments from US; yet we like to give credit
wherever it is really due, and must there
fore say that there is not to be found in
any city or town in this broad land
fairer or squarer man than he. Actuated
by desire of doing right the grangers
may rest assured that in pounds and
cents he will give them all they ought to
have. x.

No single deed OF violence and bloodshed has,
fCr long time startled and Mortified the civil
1ed world as the brutal murder enacted Saturday
evening In Dublin, Ireland Everything tended
towards peace, good feeling and COOL fellowship,
rather than towards violence and murder. The
British governm mt had taken the first step In the
d reciion of inauguratlng its policy OF concil-
iatiOn, and everywhere In Ireland, so far public
expression could Indicate this policy was received
with gratifying assurances OF appreciation OF the
motives which prompted II, and OF cooperation in
making IL a success, The instruments OF the for
mer policy OF coercion AMI repression had been re-
moved, and the agent OF the regime, denominated
the ''peace policy" had supplanted them. All
these conditions made the assassination the more
startling, because there was not the slightest rea-
son to aDDreheni any such bloody baptism OF the
governments new departure. Up to the present
the police and detectives have been unable to
throw any light upon either the motives to the deed
or the perpetrators OF It. Public expression in Ire
land, as elsewhere is uaaEhaous In condemnation
OF the deel. and give evidence OF more SINGER
fty In their detestatioD OF than the leaders OF Irish
sentiment, NeSSrs. PGraell. Dillon and Dayitt.
They Gepl0re it as much because OF the unhappy
effect 1t VIII have upon IrelaDd's future becausa
OF It's shocking and Bloody character. They fully
realize that e pdraiyZeS the efforts of NJ. Glad
stone and his cClIborefs in the course they had
marked out w tn regard to Ireland 1t intensifieS
the feeling In England against Ireland, and may,
possibly, result in political revolution and the
downfall OF the Gladstone ministry. This bloody
deed may be the OUtgr0wth of that spirit OF ire
ligion and lawleSSness which is so marked In Rus
sian nihiliSm. IL in the first place denies any
resi- On5bity 10 either divine or human law, and
makes itsalf law unto itself. Its followers neil
Their know nor feel those wholesome restraints
without which the world would be continual
scene OF violence, with the most ruthless and dc5-
perdte siways in the ascendant Ii is to the teach
ings OF such pcrniciouS doctrines, perhaps, that
the late attempt To kill MeSsr5. Vanderbilt and
FELL and Police Superintendent WalHng in New
York city, by means Of explosives, may be traced.
The only conceivable cause for such diabolical
crimes is the spirit OF nihiIsm abroad, which in
It's revolt against religion, law and order and all
forms OF civil government, seems to have its ennis
saries OF terrorism ami anarchy at work all
through the civilized world.
