THE Greenville Miss Beacon says the
lien law enables a man to mortgage his ex-
pectations, to onsume his prospective la
Dor, it holds out expectations apart from
industry and frugality it is inconsistent
with the memorable laws of nature it vic
timizes the poor, it impoverishes the rich,
it demoralizes the people therefore, like a
rotten leg, let it be cut off.
TuPELo Miss Journal: "Prentiss county
has again carried off all four of the pre-
miums for the best bale of cotton from
Mississippi exhibited at h st. Louis Fair.
DR.. Price, of Bonneville, won the blue,
and G. B. Oliver, of Baldwin, the red rib
bon for 1SS3.-Two bank failures have
recently occurred in this State-one at
Grenada and the other at Tupelo."
HENDERSON (Tenn.) Citizen: "In this
State there is no law regulating or restrict
ing in any way the practice of medicine.
Indians, negroes, natural doctors, boys
who have read Every Nan HIS Opn Doctor,
and druggists, when trade grows dull, turn
out full fiedged doctors.-The tobacco
crop in the GAINESVILLE district will be con
siderably short this season."
'FAIR NOTES." published at Wittsburg,
Ark, states that the attendance was good,
premiums were awarded for various vege-
tables, grains, preserves, wine, jellies,
bread, butter, cheese, tobacco, fruits,
horses, farming implements, cotton, How
ers, quilts, calico dresses, horsemanship,
and the winners at the baby show. The
floral hall was a great attraction.
THE New Orleans Times Democrat truth
fully remarks: "All the comments upon
the growth of the South are far short of
the real improvement that is steadily tax
ing place within her. A narration of her
development in detail would read almost
like a fable. How marvellous must it be
when ever hitherto inimical journals of
other sections repudiate their NIL ddmirdn-
dun maxim, and are loud in their expires
sions of praise and establishment"
Jackson Miss Ledger: ''The ner-
chants of Yazoo City have held a meeting
and protested against a heavy advance in
river shipping rates. They threaten to
put in rival boats if the Parisot Line don't
come to terms. The railroad will soon
reach Yazoo City and then her citizens
will have a leverage to compel boats to be
reasonable in their charges.-Since the
LIST of September Brookhaven has shipped
230O bales of cotton. Six hundred more
than it handled the same time last year"
THE Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution says:
"Northern capital has been coming into
the South rapidly for several years, and it
continues to come in just as rapidly as 1t
can see its way to profitable investment.
| Millions have been invested in Georgia
during the past few years, millions have
been invested in Florida and Alabama,
and we have no doubt that large amount
have been invested in other Southern
States. Our esteemed Republican con-
temporaries are at sea. The South is do
ing well, and it proposes to do a great deal
better"
JACKSON (Tenn.) Dispatch: 1--WE indeed
have an encouraging outlook, N the only
thing necessary to give us a regular boom
is more manufactures. We nave about,
for the present, reached our limit of popu-
lation, from a business point of view, I'M
less we can now develop a manufacturing
spirit in Jackson.-The twelfth annual
meeting of the West Tennessee Agricul-
tural and Mechanical Association com-
mences in Jackson to-day. The premiums
are larger than formerly; the display OF
agricultural implements and machinery
will be very fine; there will be exhibits
from all sections OF West Tennessee.
CHATTANOOGA Times, 25th: Mention
has been previously made of the project
to organize a chair factory company in this
city, and IN account of the extent OF the
proposed enterprise it attracted unusual
interest. The organization was completed

The factory will probably be located at the
corner of Boyce street and Missionary
avenue A two-story building, forty by
eighty feet, will be erected, and as the
business ~justifies it will correspondingly
increase. The factory will employ in the
beginning 100 men, women and children
A BIRMINGHAM (Ala.) telegram says that
Col. John Scott, president OF the Clncln-
natl, New Orleans and Texas Pacific has
decided to locate the car shops and repair
shops of his company at Birmingham, in
addition to machine shops, such as are
now in operation at Chattanooga and Me
ridian. The shops will work 500 men, and
will be of immense benefit to Birming-
ham. The Cincinnati, New Orleans and
Texas Pacific, and Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad Company have plans ready
for a elegant new union depot, to cost
$4,000, which will be built at once. The
Elyton Land Company obligates itself to
take immediate steps toward the building
of a splendid hotel, 200 by $50 feet, four
stories high, to cost 100000. This struct-
ure, like the union depot, will be located
near the present passenger depot.
ALAMO TENN Sentinel: Chickens, eggs
and butter are bringing good prices, and
looking up.-Farmers complain OF short
crops and hard times, as usual, under the
share system. We suggest that they get a
riding-brake pillow, a Thomas or Acme
harrow, then put in forty acres in wheat,
forty in red oats, forty in corn, and Guilt
vate the same with one hand and three
horses, and discharge your eight hands
and sell five mules, and you can live and
thrive. This has been one and can be.
In District No. l there has been more
hay and less fodder saved this season than
any previous season since we can remem-
ber.-In District No. 4 the present out
look indicates plenty to eat for the next
twelve months-plenty of corn and hogs.
Hogs are generally small, but are in good
order. Gathering crops and sowing wheat
is the order of the day. Present prospects
indicate that a large amount of wheat will
be own this fall"
BATEsvILLE ARK Pilot: "At Sulphur
Rock Col. Martin has set up a sorghum
mill.-The average yield OF cotton in the
river bottom Will not exceed, / think, 800
pounds per acre, which is but little better
than half a crop, and if cotton does not
bring a pretty good price the poor renters
are gone up There is an average corn
crop where the stock has not destroyed it.
A poor man, renting land and working
hard all spring and summer to make him
something to live on, and then have the
landlords hogs get fat on it, and then
nave to pay the landlord two or three
cents more on the pound for the meat than
he could get it elsewhere, is just a little
too bad.-Jamestown and Batesville
mail route has been increased TO a tri-
weekly.-Work on the railroad from the

"A foundry is the latest enterprise
spoken of to be put in operation here"
JACKSON Miss.) Clarion: "The State
Fair opens on Monday. Buildings have
been erected and the grounds improved.
A large attendance is eXpected.-How is
this? 1t costs 81 80 to ship a bale of co
ton from Yazoo City to New Orleans by
river. 1t costs So to ship a bale by rail-
road from Naughan's Station. h dis
lance is about the same.-The New Or
leans and Northeastern railroad, penetrat-
ing the rich pine forests diagonally across
our State from Meridian to New Orleans,
has been completed and opened for freight
trafic.-Work has Jagged on the western
extension of the Vicksburg, Shreveport
and Pacific. In due time, however, it will
be finished, and will constitute IN essen
tial link of the most direct route from the
Atlantic to the Pacific.-A proposition
to build a railroad from Columbus, Miss,
TO Memphis, is attracting some attention.
The most probable route is ria West Point
and Oxford as being the most direct
After a protracted and distressing drouth,

liant rains during the past week"
Mr.. HENRY w. GRADY, on the subject of
diversified industry, interviewed a promi-
nent man of Lancaster, Pa, which county
is set down as the richest agricultural
county in the United States. He was sur
prised to find that this wealth was due to
the cultivation of tobacco, but as he had
found that the tobacco crop had ruined
both farms and farmers in portions of Vir-
ginia and North Carolina, he was curious
to know what caused the difference, and
the reason given by his informant applies
