Singular Accident at Calgary.

Constable Glendenning, of &C"
Troop N. w. M. P, met with an &C.
cident which resulted in his death on
Friday. the 3rd, about twelve miles
west of Calgary, on the line of the
railroad. Glendenning was employed
as a butcher for Ford & Stewart. It
appears that he was on horseback and
was riding around to get into a good
position from which to shoot the ami
NAL. He had his knife tied to
the horn of the saddle in a
careless way. BY a sudden and
unexpected turn of his horse the
knife was driven into his thigh, cut
ting out a piece of flesh and severing
the main artery. The wound was at
once bandaged up, and the flow of
blood finally stopped. The pain vas
so great that he insisted on having
the bandage removed, which was
foolishly done; this again started the
bleeding, and in spite of every at
tempt to then stop it, he bied to death.

Boom in the Montana District.
Since I. G. Baker & Co. bonded the
Homestake and Queen of the Hills
mines in Montana District, a large
force of men have been put to work
to connect the camp with the Barker
and Benton road, and the road will
be completed in two weeks so heavy
teams can drive to the mines.
Baker & Co. have bad eight
men working since last fall run
ming a shaft into the Queen Of the
Hills, and they are o in 210
feet, and have $4,000 worth of ore on
the dump. The ore is of high grade,
and will pay to sack and ship, and
they will either send it to the N. P.
road this fall or ship it to a smelter.
A large force of men will be put to
work to extend the tunnel and take
out ore, and Montezuma, the name
of the new town, will be a lively
camp this winter. Pat Hughes while

one. All acknowledge it. And what
is needed is that the newspapers and
such men as Messrs. Hale, Driver,
Lee, Cr,ighead and others in this
county, who have the means and the
leisure, to take ar active, lively in
terest in it and work it up.
We certainly need something to
revive the agricultural interest of the
country, and especially Of the South,
an interest the most important in the
whole country, and which under bad
Legislation and the want Of a due
and proper fostering care has been
languishing for so long; and if some
thing is not speedily done, we will,
instead of occupying the position of
dictator, which can be and should be,
continue to be the "hewer of wood,
and drawer of water" to the specu-
lators and bond holders of. the coun-
try; and as Major Hudson truthfully
says, "the former has borne the bur-
den and knows his government only
from the taxes imposed" 1t is time,
in the judgement of the toiling mil
lions, to stop this; for spirit of pro-
gress is abroad in the land, and with
determination to cooperate with
one another, the skies look bright for
all who till the soil.
In this connection, and as good
reading matter, I take the liberty of
calling attention to the excellent and
timely letter of the Hon. Poindexter
Dunn, who by the way, l think is the
coming man Of Arkansas, in reply to
letter from the editor Of the Chica-
go News asking an expression of
opinion on the administration of
President Arthur; the said editor
evidently expecting a sycophantic
laudation of the fgure-head presi-
dent, but instead, one, that to use a
common expression, "made the fur
fairly ny." No doubt the Chicago
man considered it parthian arrow,
but it was one well aimed and well
sped.

Volume XIV.

Well, here we are again, at the
beginning of another volume or
journalistic mile post. The TIMES
greets you dear readers, and mod
estly inquiries, How do you like
it?" Has it met your expecta-
ton? We feel partly answered in
the increased patronage received
during the past year. PRoGEEss is
the watchword of the hour; the
world moves, and whether we will
or no, must move along with the
procession; but without concert Of
action our position in that grand on
ward march must necessarily be with
the stragglers in the rear. Shall we
not then make one strong endeavor
TO boost ourselves, as a community,
to the front. Our farmer friends
have taken the lead-during the
past year, they have made more i'm
provements, cultivated more land,
paid more attention to their farms,
and practiced economy to an extent
never before known in order that
they may shake off the mortgage
shackles that have so long been a
burden to them. Shall not we, the
merchant, the lawyer, the doctor,
the mechanic, the artizan, the blind
tiger keeper, the dude and The loaf
er, second their efforts, help and en-
courage them to keep abreast of the
times; we all depend upon the fruits
of their labors. A long pull, strong
pull, and apull altogether, will shove
us way up in the advancing column.
When you are ready, just say the
word, and the TIMES will pull as
hard as the next one.

To The Farmers OF The
United States.

1t is made my duty to make
known to you the objects ofthe Far
mers Congress, and to solicit the
earnest corporation Of all who till
the soil.
The first Session of the Congress
was held at st. Louis in October
1881. The second Session in the
same city IN October 1882, and the
third Session will be held at Louis
will, KY, on the first Wednesday in
December next.
The association meets annually,
and is composed of one delegate
from each Congressional district, one
from each Territory, and one from
each State Agricultural College.
1t is intended to be representative
body Of the farmers of the United
States.
Its object is to bring the farmers
from all sections Of the country into
common council, that they may
determine as to the best policy to
protect, and advance their interests.
The necessity for a Union of Amer
ican farmers has long been felt, and
the future of this organization is
looked to, with the deepest interests.
The question for the consideration,
and action of the Farmers Congress,
overshadow all others, whether we
regard them, as to the number OF
our people employed, the amount,
and value of farm products, or the
capital engaged in the culture ofthe
soil. Agriculture is now, and must
ever be the most important interest
Of the American people. That it
furnishes seventh-eights Of the ex-
ports of the country is conclusive
proof of this. 1t has patiently borne
exactions, and burdens, to foster and
build up all other industries without
having as all other pursuits, union,
and concert of action for its own
protection.
The result of this policy on the
part of farmers has been to have only
a minory of farmers in most of the
legislatures, but few representatives
in the lower House of Congress, and
one or two in the Senate of the Uni.
ted States. The Banking, Rail Road
Manufacturing, and Commercial in
terests have their paid lobbyists ii
every State Legislature, and al
Washington, while the millions ol
farmers are toiling at home to meet
the taxes, and burdens unjustly lev
led upon them. 1t is belived that
the Farmers Congress in which the
humblest farmer can be heard will
secure that kind of union, and active
co-opporation so much needed anc
desired by American farmers. They
do not ask, or desire class legislation
but they demand that the machiner,
of Government shall no longer be us.

things they want the Department o.

succeed in this-a move of the most
vital importance to the agricultural
interests of the entire country, and

To Two Years in the Peniten-
IsaFy.

Noah D. Smith, Deputy Surveyor
of Customs, Port of Memphis, who
plead guilty several days ago to the
charge Of embessling $1,000 of govern
ment funds, was sentenced by Judge
Hammond to-day to two years in the
penitentiary at Chester, Illinois
Colonel l.. B. Eaton, attorney for the
defenSe,m strong appeal in behalf
OF his client, arguing that the amount
taken had been returned ia full, and
pleading the general reputation and
standing OF The defendant. In pro-
nouneing the sentence, Judge Ham-
mond remarked that ii the prisoner
had been reared in vile society
and the compauiOnship Of thiev,
aud criminals, these would
be mitigating circumstances
in his favor, but with him it had been
otherwise. He had the advantage Of
superior education, the entree Of
good society and the support aad con-
fdence of a large circle of honorable
men, all (which, in his eyes, added
darker shade to the crime of which
he was accused.
Judge Hammond added that the
law left much discretion with him,
allowing him to fix the sentence at
from one to three years. He regretted
this because he could not conscien-
tiously assess as short time of pun
ishment as the law allowed, and felt
in duty bound to fix this period at
two years.
Smith was remanded to Jail until he
can be sent to Chester.
