If the South is out of the corr

buyer, the question of cheaper pro
duction of cotton will be solved
Western corn will go into Western
hogs and the cotton planter will buy
what meat he needs for his hands, and
fails to make, at such reasonable pri-
ces as will enable him to make money
on cotton at any figure it is ever
likely to sink to.

The report was started yesterday
morning that Mr.. J. Ii. Sullivan, who
has been for several months with Mr..
Ferris of the Franklin Job Printing
Office, had been drowned in the river
the night before. Enquiry proved
the report to be true.
1t seems that Mr.. Sullivan and Mr..
Randall, who is clerking with J. ID.
Turner & Co., went down TO the river
Wednesday night to fish trot line
the former had put out the night
before. The bank at the point they
went to, which is just below Mrs.
Mason's residence, is high and steep
Mr.. Randall remained above while
Mr.. Sullivan went to the edge of the
river below. Mr.. Sullivan called to
him to follow when he had reached
the river, but he declined to do So
In short vime Mr.. Randall called to
him but received no response, and
Just after heard faint noise as Of
something falling in The water. He
called again in a louder tone and
getting no reply became alarmed
The place was search by him and
others and Mr.. Sullivan's hat was
found on the bank near the waters
edge, and at the same place marks Of
a shoe indicating that he had slipped
in while endeavoring to get to his
line. The river at this point and for
a good distance above and below, is
deep, and the current, which is strong
and forms eddies at places, makes it a
dangerous locality.
Mr. Sullivan was young man, but
recently married, and came over from
Starkville where he was raised, severaI
months ago to work in Mr.. Ferris's
office. He was a quiet unobtrusive
industrious man, and made many
friends here.-Colunabus Dispatch

To the People Of Monroe County

The following article appeared in
the Aberdeen Weekly, of April Goth,
1888, viz:
"rhe Halls Safe and Lock Company al
lowance OF 1923 70. for one safe for the
Chancery clerks Office, allud, d to in the
last Issue of this paper, seems to be
unused up" beyond recognition.
"Mr. j. J. Busham, of the Bird district
tells the writer, personally, that he was
not present when the allowance was
made; Mr.. Dalton, of the 4h, informs
us that he was not present, and Mr. Sisk,
of the 9th, writes us that he was not
present. This accounts for three out OF
five members; quorum could not be
hmd without them, hence, we say the
allowance is unused up" beyond re-
cognition
In answer to this article l attach
the following certificate, to-wit:

7, James J. Busham, John Wood and
Robt N. Stockton, Supervisors from the
Third, Second and First Districts Of said

of Halls Safe 4 Lock Company, for
S223.70 for one safe for the Chancery
Clerks Office of said County, was regu.
larly called up and approved by the
Board of Supervisors of said County, at
their April Term, 1888; and that when
The minutes were read by the Clerk Of
said Board, there swas no objection
made to said allowance.

Mr.. Dalton, of the Fourth District,
in abiding to the matter in Sunday
mornings EXAMINER, says:
1T is and was known to the Board
that the member from the 4th Dis
trict favored the allowance of the
claim, but pending its consideration
on Tuesday evening of the last term,
the Board adjourned until Wednes-
day, and he was unable to arrive at
the Court House until late hour of
the forenoon, after the minutes Of
the previous day had been read by
the clerk and signed by the Presi'
dent" etc.
Now, fellow citizens, it must be
clear to every one that this false init
nation has originated with some per-
son who desires to destroy my pros
poets for denomination for the office
of Chancery Clerk, by casting some
imputation upon my conduct and
character. Had | been in anywise
unfaithful to the trust you have here
tofore reposed in me, | would submit
quietly to the withdrawal of that
trust; but | am sure you will not per-
NIT my reputation or my interest to
be ruined by an accusation which l
show to be SANDER. l appeal to

of warfare is justifiable. 1t is the use

Death OF Col. Farquhar.

Col. Francis u. Farquhar, Of the Unit ed
tates engineer corps, died at the Russell
house in Detroit on the 4th inst, of Bright's
disease, it is supposed. lie had been siling
several months, but neither he nor his in-
mediate friends suspected that his condition
was critical. He attended regularly to his du-
ties until four days previous. 1t appears
now that only his indomitable courage kept
HIM up, and when he finally felt compelled
to remain at hone, his disease had already
made such ravages that he could not rally.
Col. FarQuhar was native of Pottsville, Pa;
graduated at West Point in 1861; was pro-
NOTED and brevetted Tor gallantry in several
battles, and after the war had charge OF the
governments works In Detroit, Minnesota,
and finally transferred to Washington.
During the recent convention Of the hmeri-
can association Of engineers he read an able
aud carefully prepared paper upon the inn
provements at st. Anthony's falls, and was
in daily attendance upon The session Of that
body. As an engineer, Col. Barauhar held
very high rank; as a soldier, he was
chivalrous, cool.headed and always at the
front; rs an officer. he was noted for many
of those qualities that are inherent in men
born to command;" as a gentleman, he
always exempliiied the old tradition thai
held the ARMY officer up rs a model of
personal department and private character
