1t is estimated that the flood of 1882
cost the Southwest over 10000, 900,
OF which $l5,000,000 fell to Louisi-
ana's share. To replace this it will
require nearly 100000 bales of cotton.
The amount is greater than the net
profit of one entire cotton crop, OF, the
Mississippi valley.

A Generous Act.

Ex-senator Blaine can do neat
thing when he wants to. The friends
of the late Benjamin II. Hill, of Geer-
gia, are building a monument to his
memory from voluntary subscriptions.
Blaine has given $50 to the fund, and
accompanying the check was a letter
in which he said:
Though politically opposed to SEN
ator Hill, and often engaged in heated
controversies with him, our personal re-
ations were always kindly and cordial.
| was deeply touched by his suffer-
ings, and by the heroism with which
he endured them to the end. | wish
to place one wreath upon his grave"
Blaine and Hill, when members of
the House of Representatives, had
many hot debates on questions on
which they radically differed; yet,
now that Hill has gone over to the ST.
lent majority, Blaine generously con-
tributes to erect monument to COM
memorate the many virtues of his
opponent, whose honesty and integri-
ty were never questioned.

BISHOP BUDGE of Bear Lake, has ia
ken the stump for Ainslie. The Bish-
op says it is to the Mormon interest
to elect him, and the Bishop knows
what he is talking about. The Nor
mon Church knows that George, if
elected, will again knuckle to the po-
lygs like serf, as he has in the past.
Whichever way the Mormon leaders
point Ainslie goes. The Bishop, in a
lecture on Saturday evening, Oct.
l4th, among other things said: "Vote
your ticket from head to foot, it is for
our interests to do So" They held a
council at Bishop Fishers house, al
Oxford, on Sunday, Oct. 18th, and
their watchword is "straighten the
lines"
