The follwing extract from q letter
written to Judge M. Rose, Of CIarks-
vile, by James Watson. Of Morris
Grundy county, Illinois,. shows The
opinion entertained in reference to
the coal fields of johnson county
In our little Grundy, county dia-
mond fields, nature has deposited
170,0 900 acres Of coal and we have the
enterprise and the capital that is util-
izing what nature has in store for
those that see fit to turn it to profit.
Our monthly output OF coal this
month, and on till the latter end of
March, 1882, will not fall much, if
any, short OF $4,000 tons. The
operators in coal fields get divide
OF about So per ton, maklng,a monty
distribution Of $435, 600; so our peo-
pie, such OF them as will use diligence
and willing hands can get the where
with to buy corn il it is rs cents or
ST. per bushel, and meat at Ia cent?
per pound.
The people of johnson county
have as large o store Of carbon de-
posted underneath the soil rs we
have in Grundy county, and you have
what we have not, valuable deposits
of Manganese and Iron ore, and If
you wish to escape another such ca
lamity as fell on you last year,
encourage and devise some means to
open up and get your coal to market.
The coal Of the Arkansas Valley is
wanted in the States of Kansas,
Texas, New Mexico and the Missis-
sippi Valley, from Memphis to New
Orleans. Your outlet for coal is all
that could be desired. Coal shafts
and railroads are looming up all
through and round about our coal
fields, almost as thick as dog fennel
around country school house, and
in the near future the prosperity of
coal sections of countries in the west
will be signaled by a cloud OF smoke
in the day time and pillars Of fire in
the night.
The people of the Arkansas Valley
may hasten the day that their eyes
may behold in their beautiful Valleys
those signals of prosperity before
they are all closed in their last sleep

high, 30 feet long aud 24 feet wide,
/ with a shed 10 feet on each side, max
I ing total width OF Al feet. On the
first floor will be bins arranged on each
side, with a gangway wide enough for
u wagon to pass through the center.
Into these bins the seed cotton will be
emptied and by an ingenious system
hoisted to the second floor, where the
gins will be located. BY this plan the
farmer will be enabled TO deliver his
cotton under roof and have bin for
his own crop thereby obyiating the
danger of its becoming mixed with
another mans crop. On the second
floor there will be two gins of the most
approved make anda press that will
work rapidly. A portion of the second
floor will be separated from the gin and
press room, and will be furnished
with machinery for the manufacture Of
batting. This new gin will prove
of great benefit to the farmers within q
circuit of several miles. The motive
power for the gins, press and batting
machine will be furnished by the great
engine IN the cotton mill. Mr.. Thos.
Cox, of Dardanelle, has the contract
for erecting the building, also ten tens-
ment houses for the operatives in the
employ of the company.

BY reference to another column, II
will be seen that the Russellville grad
ed school will open its second annual
term on the first Monday in October.
This excellent school is without a SUI
perior in Western Arkansas, and, in
attestation of that fact we point with
pride to the fact that the progress Of the
pupils in the several branches was far
ahead Of the average, and speaks vol
umes in praise of the teachers. The
faculty is composed Of the best talent
and each teacher is noted for his or her
proficiency and experience. We cheer
fully commend this school to parents
and guardians.

Mr.. NJ. A. Whitley, Toledo. Ohio,
writes: "After trying all advertised
medicines for nervous weakness and
early decay, gave up in despair, and
resigned myself to the seeming inevita-

Iron Bitters for dizziness, bought a
bottle myself. | am most agreeably
surprised to find myself restored to per-
feet health, strength, and manhood. /

The Avery Gin.

BY reference to our new advertise
ments, it will be seen that the Avery
Gin Company, of Memphis, are in the
market with their popular cotton gins.
The Avery Gin, wherever used, has
given unbounded satisfaction and their
merit is fully attested by hundreds OF
the most prominent planters in the cot
ton belt. The rapidity of this gin and
the excellent sample Of lint it turns out
commends it to all at first trial. Send

often amounting to twelve hours in

We are no advocate Of idleness
but we believe more effective work
can be done by working properly not
more than ten hours per day, during
any given period of ayear or more,
than by working twelve hours pei

WOMAN.
HOPE FOR SUFFERING WOMAN!

SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.
BY reason of her peculiar relations,
and her peculiar ailments, woman has
been compelled to sGtfer, not only her
own ills, but those arisiG. from the
want of knowledge, or of consideration
on the part of those with whom she
stands connected in the social organi-
cation. The frequent and distressing
Irregularities peculiar to her sex have
thus been aggravated to adegree which
no language can express. In the man
sions of the rich and the howell of the
poor alike, woman has been the patient
victim of ills unknown to man, and
which none but she could endure-and
without a remedy. But now the hour
of her redemption has come. She need
not suffer longer, when she can find re-
lief in DR.. j. Bradfield's Female Regu-
lator, "Woman's Best Friend." Pre-
pared by DR.. j. Bradfield, Atlanta, Ga.

A German writer, Emil Decher, con.
troverts the idea that North America is
to overwhelm Europe in products and
commerce. lie says that Europe has u
foreign commerce twice as great rs all
the rest Of the wo:l !: that she pre-
dominates in all other productions; pro-
duccs four times as much coal and iron
as sNorth America, three tines as many
cattle, four times rs many sheep, three
times as much grain, four times as much
wheat; and has two and a half times as
much horse power IN steam engines
Europe is something yet" says the
Cincinnati Gazette, "and is holding her
own, while we are skinning our rich
lands. We ought to know that she is
something when We import from her to
the value Of 500, 600, ,0O0a year, when
the shipping of Europe is increasing
while ours is disappearing from the
ocean, and when Great Britain alone
has driven our ships from every sea,
and is carrying nearly all our own ex-
port and import trade"

Miss Anna Dickinson denies the re-
port that she had declared against wom-
an suffrage, and explains her views,
which are, in brief, that there is too
much voting now, voting that is both ig-
norant and venal; that no man ought to
he able to control the destlnies of other
people by means Of Il constitution and
laws who is not able at least to read
them; that, while intelligent men vote
she believes in intelligent women voting.
that while venal men sell their franchise
1t is but fair that venal women should
enjoya like monstrous privileges; anu
that while brutes are backed with this
additional means of brutality and inn
punity, through rum shops and police
courts Of travestied Justice, she believes
in the life companions Of these brutes
having in hand staff of protection and
defense. Miss Dickinson is not very
logical, and her conclusions are demor-
alizing. as applied to other things, as well
rs to voting, and are of no consequence
but from the public notoriety she
has achieved in various wavs.

Chicago fresh beef sent Oh daily to

Throughout the Northwest the month

been carried on more silently during

In fact, it appears like Il pause before
the wintry storms set in store and it's re-
cord made up, and the month may bc
hkened unto Il breathing spell ere nature
and man enters upon the activities Of Il

has nature been robed more picturesque

The much abused Vennor can hardly
be called prophet not without honor
save in his own country, for he gets little
glory from any source or section. III.
predicted for October, in Canada, 4 very
severe month of rain, hail, frost and
snow, and, ~ consequence, the month
has been unusually mild and delightful
In proof of the assertion it is said that
wild raspberries have been picked at
Sault aux Recollect, seven miles from
Montreal, within the past few days The
feelings OF Canadians toward Vennor are
more of the nature Of than kfnlness than
admiration.
