MiasissIppl even claims her abilitr e

Mississippi even claims her ability to
make stock-raising leading feature,
without relinquishing her domination
in cotton. The claim is NOT without
foundation, but as compared to Tonnes
sees facilities and adaptability to stock
raising, it is insignificant. Inc effort
there is stimulation here. II Missis-
sippi can make il pay, Tennessee has
bonaDza In It. AS far as Giles county
Is concerned, the transformation is
about consummated. There has been
more stock sold in Pulaski this season
than in all its past history together, per-
-hsps. On all sides we hear of farmers
seeding down lands and buying graz
In e cattle and preparing for the new
order of things. The advantage Is not
alone in the profit in the stock itself
but the rest given the land and the re-
claiming of WORKOUT fields is fortune.
Judge Tinnon said last year that it was
Giles county soil that was giving Eads
so much trouble at the mouth of the
Mississippi. The tine was when you
could run a grain OF corn into the
ground with a stick and a fine stork
with Two large ears would follow with
out cultivation. This is the same land,
worn by excessive tillsge and washings,
and when it is seeded and preserved it
will regain its pristine fertility.

We have before us a copy of tn,
Southern Broadaxe. To say tina
this is a live paper, full of happy
hits, sharp points, terse logic, use
full information and unanswerable
arguments, is to state the case
tamely. 1t abounds in just such
good things as to make it valua-
bic family newspaper. But the
wide plank in it is temperance. On
this it rings the changes most lus-
tily, and with master hand.
There is no risk in saying that it is
the largest, strongest, sharpest, and
best prohibition paper in the south,
and the only one illustrated. 1t is
published weekly at $500 year.
Every one at all interested should, by
all means, send for sample copy.

Fowls are as profitable as any
other stock the farmer can keep,
and more so, provided he pays to
them the same attention, and is as
much interested in them, as in his
other stock. In majority of cases
fowls are merely kept ON the farm,
because they cannot well be dis.
pensed with, and because the farm
er wishes to reap any profit there
from. AS a general thing you viii
find that poultry on farms belong to
no special breed, but that they are
a mixed up mess. Unless the farm
er keeps birds that come of a good
stock, and feeds them.regularly, he
can not expect any profits.

A correspondent of the Kansas

stock and finds one acre Of it equal
to an acre of corn. His cattle eat
it steadily, consuming stalk and all,
and it makes them &c sleek and fat
IS corn-fed stock. He plants in
hills, about double the quantity he
would use if he were cultiva ting for
syrup, and when the seed is ripe,
cuts, shocks, and cures, same as
corn fodder. If cut before frost, he
says it will retain its sweetness all

A Cotton Syndicate.

S. r. Cockrill, of Pine Bluff
Ark, vice president of the cotton
planters association and of the far
mers' congress, through the col
umns of the Baltimore journal OF
Commerce, suggests the building OF
cheap one story spinning mills on
the railroads, and with steam power
to make yarns, and double the
value of our cotton. Instead OF
paying A, B, G as middle-men,
amouRting to millions of dollars on
every crop, we propose to pay every
thing as toll to the spinning
mills, and make yarn to send to the
European mills, instead of lint cot
ton.
We are not able at present to
furnish machinery for our spinning
mills. We can furnish the ground
and building, and propose to the
owners of the great factory at Man
chester to send us the machinery
from their machine shops for these
mills, a1d take pay in our mills,and
we guarantee a dividend of eight or
ten per cent. on their stock by
mortgage on cotton plantations.
The important results to us as
planters are that we sell our bales
of yarn at Is to 20 cents per pound,
making $75 the price of a cotton
bale, instead of $45 now.
Our spinning mills in our climate
will not cost one-third of what they
do in the. city ofiManshester; hence
the chances for large dividends, as |
the sum will be less to pay on. We
propose to guarantee ten per cent.
on their stocks. They
are therefore at par from the be
ginning. A correspondence is now
going on through the American
at Manchester, Liverpool,
London and Bradford, preparing for

Land Excursions to tennessee

Land Excursions to Tennessee.
1t may be seen from the letter of the
General Western Passenger Agent of
the Illinois Central Railway to Com
missioner McWhirter that Tennessee is
TO be visited this fall by northern men
in large numbers. This letter comes
from high official and it contains i'm
portant statements. He says that his
road proposes to work up a boom for
the south. That road has been one OF
the potent agents in populsting the
west SO largely, and he says that the re-
suit of his roads land excursions west
has been to boom lands from SO to $50
per acre in four year time-A THOU
SAND PER CENT! This is the oppor-
tunity for Giles county. Our Immi-
grafton Society should at once be
called together and made to shape mat
'ers to meet the possibilities of these
excursions and to cooperate with the
managers SO as TO receive the results
directly. This furnishes an exact
point to work to. This official is
backed by his road and will spare no
expense to make these excursions a sue
cess. He wrote for state immigration
books, descriptive pamphlets, etc., to
aid him in getting out pamphlets de-
scriptive of this country. The COM
missioner sent him some OF the Tennes-
see hand-books, but they contain very !
little in reference to Giles county. Our
society could furnish him some very
valuable matter and by this means make

The letter demonstrates one impor-
,ant fact: That the south has sup
planted the west and is now the objec-

The Shelbyville papers complain
that Nashville could have saved a
large portion of their town recently
burned by n great fire if engines had
been sent to them. They forget
that Nashville could not very safely
have sent her engines sixty miles

Parlor rifles are perhaps more
dangerous than larger guns, because
they are usually handled much
more carelessly. There are a great
many of these little guns in Pulaski
and there is one in a neighboring
town with which young lady shot
and killed an old man one day last
week. A number of young gentle
men and ladies we're target shoot
ing at Tuscumbia and the poor old
man, not dreaming of his danger,
was over an hundred yards away,
beyond q cedar grove, sitting on
The bank of the creek fishing.
The young lady pulled trigger,
missed the mark and the ball pene-
trating the thicket struck the man
in the back and was extracted from

and the unhappy girl will never for
get the sad accident. Those who use
these parlor rifles may learn a les

The following is a suggestive top

this season:
Not long ago we published q par

ment strengthened by the follow
ng from the practical editor of the
odessa Herald:
owe have before stated that salt
sown upon the ground as soon as
plowed in the spring will destr oy
the germs of the worm and the
land will be clear of them. We
would recommend to put on in the
fall a bushel to the acre, and then
in the spring two bushels more.
Some say half the amount will do.
We put six quarts on our garden
and we cannot find a worm in it,
and have not this season." In view
of the evident fact that the farmer
must.either fight the rayagers of his
fields or else surrender his crops to
them, we aim to put all possible eff
fective weapons in the hands of the
farmers, who thus far have in most
cases proved the weaker party.

A Call Upon the People of Memphis 10
Unite I'm a Hearty
Celebration Of Its Completion and IA
Decorate Their Houses.

To the People of Memphis:
The undersigned, committee appointed
at meeting OF citizens held recently at
the Peabody Hotel, desire TO call the at
tention of the people of Memphis to the
advantages TO accrue to the city from the
completion of the railroad to Kansas City,
and to invite their cooperation in its
celebration. This event opens up to
us country remarkable for its fertility
of soil, and the variety of the crops and
mineral and manufacturing resources
Added to these forces, its peo-
pie are among the most indus
trious and enterprising in the Union
Nothing that has occurred in the history
OF Memphis. if we except the opening OF
the Charleston railroad, has been so pro-
ductive to its people of good results as this
work will be which we are about to invite
so many distinguished persons to unite
with us in celebrating. 1t is full of all
possibilities of growth, and is al
ready felt as the one great good
that in the past iour years has come
tanned by war and pestilence. The Kan
sas City railroad joins us to the great and
growing West, and assures us a competing
outlet to Arkansas and Texas it will
make Memphis a principal market for the
distribution .. grains and ineats, and
thus reinforces the resources in cot
ton and groceries already within
our grasp More than this, it seals the
destiny OF Memphis "a the future
great city 6f tie central portion OF the
lower valley OF the Mississippi and forever
fixes the most available line OF travel be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans on
an isothermal line the most favored by
nature on this continent. To rele-
brate an event so auspicious We
invite the hearty and generous co.
operation OF all classes of the people of
Memphis, and We urge that the day, yet to
| be named, for the final opening of the
Memphis and Kansas City railroad be
made holiday, and that all the houses
on the principal streets be draped
with bunting and flags; and that
the clrlzens make ready with
fireworks to testify their joy on the occa-
sion. We are already assured of the CO.
operation OF the city authorities. With
that and the help of the people, nothing
will be wanting to make an occasion of ex-
| ceeding qualification and gratitude.
