| of Others, and be of iBcalulable value to the
citizen and legislator.
The importance of having weekly aud
monthly reports of the growing crops n all
sections is fally appreciated, and viii re-
ceive that attention question Of so much
interest deserves.
1t is impossible 20 exaggerate the value Of
your labors to the farmer, and the happy
influence upon his character and eonse-
quently upon our institutions.
When we have aroused the tillers of the
soil in any toRn, county, district and State
to the value of cDncert of action and coop
Grafton we shall have accomplished, and not
until then, the work for which we are or
.anizsd. But il we have the pride Amer
leans should all have, and love our whole
country, we will make this farmers congress
a gFea. power in developing the material
wealth and progress of our people and re-
St ring and maintaining he mnst friendly
relations between all sections Of our cuu-
mon country. Ii there should linger in the
brea.t Of any farmer any unpleasant mem
orics of the past, let il b. our constant aim
to show, by eur words and our deeds, that
we know no section, aud, rising far above
partisan prejud ess and narrow views. we
will iab0r to i.uFid up the farmer in what
ever part of this great country he may be.
We have it in our power. if we go earn
silly to work, to place American agricul-
ture in It's proper attitude before our people
and the legislatures of the States aud the
Union. TO do this it is expected that
every friend of progress, not only in this
body, but throughout the country, will con-
.inue his efforts until the victory is won.
The farmer is now and ever has been con-
'ervative in opinions aud moderate in his /
demands. He asks for no bouutie-; he /
wants no class legislation; he wants and /
Justly demands equality in the benefits and /
burden of government he wants this great /
Industry of the millions who give by their
abor riches to the country, to be heard /
nd its influence felt in the councils of the

Southern Attr actions for Investing.

The Baltimore Journal of Commerce
calls attention to the fact that the sale
Of government lands ii the Southern
states is assuming large proportions.
Of the SCOOPS acres sold in 1879
there were 481, ,175, or 5 6 per cent, of
the whole located in Arkansas, Louis
lana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida,
the only southern States in which the
government still owns land. In 1880
the total sales amounted to 9,166,9
acres, 996,S15 acres, or 1919 per cent,
being in the south. The total sales in
1881 reached 10, ,517 Joy acres, of which
1,5l7,1 1876, or Il, 1 per cent, were in
the states named. In the year ended
June 30th, 1882, total sales were 15,-
699,849 acres, and the sales in the
southern states had increased to 1856,
763 acres, or 10 per cent, of the whole.
In three years the sales in the south
have increased nearly fve-fold. Part
of these purchases are doubtless spec
ulatiye, but another and large part
are due to the large flow southwark of
people migrating from the north in re-
cent years.

Cruelties Which It Encourages in the
Treatment of Children.

There is a man in this city, says the
Salt Lake Tribune, who is polyga-
mist, who has a pleasant address who
stands high in the favor of the authori-
ties of his church who talks well who
would by man like Capt. Coleman, be
pointed out to Eastern people as liv-
ing evidence of the malice and false
hood which fills the hearts of decent
people when they denounce polygamy.
| By his real wife that man became the
father of several children. Upon her
death and assuming of power by the
second wife, the father drove every
child by his first wife away from home.
He gave one delicate child, little girl
of eleven years of age, to brutal farm
er in the country; that man sent the
child to tend stock on the mountains
and compelled her to sleep alone in
tent on the mountain side, where every
night the child suffered the agony of the
damned in natural childish fear. Now
the children are scattered through three
or four States and territories, and though
this child is here in this city, the unnat-
ural brute of father has not called to
see her for seven months. And he is we'll
off; he has abundant means to provide
for his children, and were it not so, he
has two strong arms and could earn a
comfortable living for them. But the
shame of her place haunted the second
wife Until the first died, and then the
hate which had been smoldering through
the years burst into fame, and she de-
termined that the presence of that wo-
mans children should not be a reproaeh
to her and her children any longer.
And the father, embruted by his former
acts, having learned to think of his
children as he did his calves by different |
cows, turned his heart against his first
born, and drove all the children which |
the wife of his youth had borne to him
into the street, at the bidding of the wo-
man, who in that way sought for respite
from the cries which her own wounded +
womanhood had been assailing her soul
with for years. The foregoing is no
fancy sketch. This little girl who was
sent to the mountains alone to herd |
stock and to sleep alone in tent on The
mountain side is right here, and can be
seen by any one who are curious enough
to investigate the case. And yet this
infamous system, which transforms a
man into brute and woman into a
fend, we are told is system which the
God of Justice declares to be necessary
in order to save the souls of forlorn
women. Il is this system which
George @. Cannon counsels his people
to practice, even if in doing so it is
necessary to set all laws at defiance. Is
it not about time something direct should
be done to stop this business? The
Thugs mercifully killed their victims
they did not PIT their children out in
the mountains to die of cold and fear.
Ifany one thinks we are wrong it will |.
cure him or her to listen for half an
hour to the story of the child who was
made a stock-herder.

A College President Kills His Brother
in-Law.
Memphis Ledger.l


At Somerville, Tenn forty miles east of
this city, last night, Mr.. James w. Burton,
for a number Of years resident here, was
shot and killed by Prof. w. H. Tharp, the
President of the Somerville Female College.
The wife of Mr.. Burton and the wife of
Prof Tharp are sisters, both being the
daughters Of the late Mr.. Thomas r. Cooke,
of Fayette county, Tenn., and from the
meager reports of the killing of Burton, re-
ceived from persons who arrived by the train
this morning, il has been ascertained that
the brothers.in-law had a misunderstanding
and that on yesterday Burton denounced
Tharp on the public streets, saying that he
intended TO slay him.
Mr. Tharp is known as a quiet kind
hearted gentleman, but very positive and
determined. Upon being informed Of Bur
toms conduct he evidently made up his
mind that but one course was open TO him,
aud he at once acted upon that determina-
tion.
Arming himself with double barrelled
shot gun he went in search of Burton and
found him last night at a billiard saloon
approachedfnear enough for Ell Ct We WORK
and poured load Of buckshot into Burton's
face, killing him on the spot. This Is the
story of the killing in brief, and all that
could be learned this forenoon. Mr.. Burton
was regarded as a very dangerous man when
aroused. @e
