Mo. Republican: "When attention j
given to the trouble and uncertainty of pro
curing reliable labor in the cotton states i
is a morvel that the people were able t
produce crop of nearly 100000 bales o
cotton last year. The negro population il
migratory, unreasoning. often leaving one
locality sor another for no better reason
than sheer daprice. Thus 1t is noted thai
in many quarters plantations of great fer
tility and in the very best cotton regions
are to-day without hands or any contract or
arrangement for cultivation. The negroes
have moved to adjoining states, going hith-
er and tnither by a sort Of instinct. The
great need is white labor and fixed par-
pose on the part of those who till the soil
to identify themselves with the land. There
is no other part of the globe offering such
inducements to thrifty, energetic laborers.
Mrs s. Williamson will treat the pub
lic,-the ladies-to a grand exhibition of
notions and millinery at her emporium of
fashion on Seventh street, next Thursday,
Friday and Saturday. None should fail to
attend. All are invited. ct
Three new cases of smallpox we're
taken to the pest-house IN Paducah Sunday.
There have been since the commencement
of the disease there seventeen cases alto
gether. Of these six have died three in
the city and three in the smallpox hospit-
al. There are now eleven cases at the
pest-house. The News of Monday "sug-
gests to the authorities the necessity OF TAX
ing more vigorous action in relation to the
buildings and localities infested with this
plauge. Slowly, but surely, the disease is
extending over the city, and if the present
weather continues it is likely to increase
more rapidly. The infested places
should be rigidly quarantined and the
News hopes the council will take some de-
finite action in that direction tonight
The authorities of Cairo would perhaps do
we'll to give the question OF quarantinlng
against PaGucah some consideration,

subscription grew rapidly from twenty

more subdued, his spirits rose slowly as the |

Postmaster Murphy is about to intro
luce another new feature in the postotiice
lere, that must meet with favor among all
asses of people. In times past people who
ad no boxes because they thought they
ouldn't afford it, going to the postoffice at
egular hours, would meet large crowds at

his purpose, to some extent at least. He
