WB agree with the enlightened
con tributor to the Columbus Dis
patch who advocates good roads and
good bridges fer tho people regard
less of their possible effect upon the
commerce Of certain trade centres
We favor building bridges-and
good ones too-upon every road
where it crosses u stream on or near
section line; and what is more, We
favor the policy of every farmer
seeking the best market in which to
sell or buy, whether it be Columbus,
West Point, Okolona or Aberdeen.
II either one of those towns can
overbid us on cotton, and underselI
us in goods, it is entitled to the trade
of Monroe county farmers, but We
are gratiiied in knowing that nc
such calamity has as yet befallen ON
market or is apt to befall it in the
future.

Get up early next Tuesday morn
ing. There will be a partial eclipse
OF the moon shortly after midnight.
So says the Aberdeen Examiner. But
as Columbus is continually eclipsing
Aberdeen in the way of selling good
meat cheap and paying big prices for
cotton, possibly the Examiner is try
ing to get up some local excitement
to attract Observation-Disclosures
Dispatch.
So far as meat is concerned, Aber.
deem merchants are beginning to re-
alize that it's sale is one of the lost
arts-our smoke houses are located
right here at home, and Monroe
county farmers propose to be meat
sellers instead of meat buyers here-
after But when it comes to .'pay>
ing big prices for cotton we have
simply this to say: Aberdeen pub
fishes her market prices for the
staple right straight along, and pays
the prices that she publishes. If
Columbus can overbid those figures
let her buyers publish their bids in
their widely read papers like ours do,
and the cotton will seek the highest
bidder.
There is no sitter cotton market
in the South than that of Aberdeen,
and this remark will be endorsed by
any Columbus buyer the Dispatch
may chose to consult; and what is
more, no Columbus buyer can over>
bid our market and maintain whole
skin, financially speaking. As to
whether we are paying more for cot
ton than Columbus it is impossible
for us to say unless she publishes
regular quotations like we do; but
knowing the prices in Liverpool, New
York and New Orleans, we know she
cannot overbid us and live,

The Columbus Dispatch complains
that the streets of that city are full
of idle negro men. It is different
bere-we have not an idle negro
man in the town with the exception
of two who are physically and men
tally incapaciated for work. Idlers
are not allowed on our streets-every
man here must have some "visibe

WE would respectfully suggest to our
city authorities the propriety of employ
ing Mr.. G.. n Ladd to clean the Nccu-
mulated sand and mineral deposit ont of
the tubes of the four artesian wells on
Commerce street now while he has all of
his "plant" here. The wells are all
flowing freely but we believe that the
flow from each of them can be quad
rupled by the operation we suggest.
The new, well Mt the intersection Of
Commerce and Maple streets has never
been cleaned out, and we believe that
its flow can be immensely increased by
the expenditure of paltry sum, and at
the same time heavy and injurious
pressure will be removed from the tub
ing and the earth walls of the vein that
feeds it.

The Board of Directors of the
Steam Cotton Compress Company at
its meeting on Tuesday fixed the
rate for COMPRISING at sixty cents
per bale, This is fifteen cents cheap
er than in New Orleans, Mobile or
st. Louis. This reduction of fifteen
cents bale on COMPRISING is equal
to an advance to that amount on
cotton.
COMPRISING is in itself equal to
an advance of forty cents a I,ale on
cotton, owing to difference in freight
made by railroads in favor of COM
pressed cotton.

The important cause of the Trus.

Board of Supervisors of Monroe
county, to enforce the payment Of
100000 on the subscription by the
County in 1869 to the capital stock
of the Selma, Marion and Memphis
Rallroad Company, was argued on
Friday and Saturday in the U S.
Court in this city on the demurrer of
the county to the compliments
Amended Bill. We learn that after
taking the cause under advisement
Judge Hill has sustained the de-
murrer and dismissed the bill. This
settles this cause finally as far as the
lower courts are concerned. We
will try to get a copy of Judge Hills
opinion for publication.
The cause was argued by Prof f.
Mayes of Oxford for the creditors,
and by Chancellor Baxter Mcfarland
and E. II. Bristow Esq, for the
county.
The suit 'of the same creditors
against Pontotoc county was argued
at same time by Prof. Mayes for

"My cotton crop is turning out

WOULD" is the stereotyped expression
that falls from the lips of farmers
nowadays. The fact is that the
weed never had such season for

has affored, and every September
bloom has made cotton. If the stands
had been good and we had enjoyed
a little better luck in the way of
August weather,the crop would have

The Churns of Old Monroe.

The churns of Old Monroe can
rival in their products those of any
county in the United States. This is
no idle boast but the result of close
observation and study on the part of
one who has awaited himself of op-
portunities to inspect the products of
fifteen or twenty or our dairy farms,
every week. These dairy farms should
all be represented at our Fair,and we
appeal alike to their owners and to
the merchants who control their pro-
ducts, to see that they are represent
ed.
Our Monroe county churns report
ed $4,000 lbs. of butter to the
census of 1880, and yet this was but
tythe of their product; they are
making over a million pounds per
annum now, and should be generally
represented at the Fair.
