with amazement when they. beheld
those whom their commander taunt-
ingly called MALTA" standing mo-
tionless as statues their muskets erect,
their arms folded across their breasts,
gazing calmly at the hostile ranks
advancing fnriously with leselled
bayonets. It WAS u refinement of dis
cipline rarely exhibited, and here al
together unexpected. The Americans
stood EHtil heAenemy approached
within few PAGES; until the foemen
could see the fire flushing from EACH
others eyes, and each could read the
expression of his adyersary's face;
then deliberately as the word was CIV
en-, the Americans leyelled their pieces
and firesl-aad the whole Of the enc
my's line seemed annihilated MANY
were killed, many wounded, and some,
rushing forward with powerful mo-
mentum, fell over their PROSTATE COM
panions. or were thrown down by the
weight of succeeding combatants. In
one instance the ground occupied by
that gallant line was covered by fly
ing Britons in smother, Il second line
had advanced to sustain the eeontest /;
while the broken fragments of the first
were rallied behind it. The Buffalo
MALTA" were now the assailants, ad-
vancing with charged bayonets. Then
it was that the young American chiefs
who led that gallant host displayed
the skill Of veterans, and the names of
Scott, Jessup, Leayenworth, Mcneil,
and Hinman, were given to their coun-
try to adorn ths proudest page of its
history. FiYe-and- thirty minutes de-
cided the contest, and the retiring foe
Was pursued and driven to his fortress.
None who saw will forget the terrific
beauty of this scene; the noble ap-
pearance of the troops-the dreadful
precision of every movement-the aw-
ful fury Of the battle-its fatal severi-
ty-its brief continuance-its trium-
phant close
Benton and Douglass were both
American to the backbone, and at
once the Cicero and the Demosthenes
Of the Mississippi valley. But Doug
lass early decease was in sad contrast
with Benton's extraordinarily lengthy
and energetic career Constant indul-
gence in the use of ardent spirits has
biotted SO many stars from our foren-
sic frmament-has indeed depleted
the ranks of distinction so regularly
and unfailingly, that his fate Was re-
gardcd as matter of course. In the
quarrel between Benton and Footesin
the Senate we see also an intemper-
ance of passion, which involved mill
ions in its consequences. To all who
would harp upon the special fai.ing Of
Douglass or any other man, would
recommend to adopt the sentiment of
Cowper's "Castaway:"
"No voice divine the storm allaysa,
No light propitious shone,
When, snatched from all effectnal aid,
We perished, each alone:
But beneath rougher sea,
And whelmed in deeper CULTS than he"

prairies meet the gaze. The surface
is thus well drained, though rolling, is
not broken nor hiiIy. The soil is all
that can be desired for the production
of crops. East of US are being raised
wheat, corn, oats, potatoes and all
kinds of fruits, and indeed I may add
all the products. These crops
are raised with marked success, and
such as has not been known before in
any of the adjacent states. Only a
few miles from here in the North part
oftle county there are several fields of
corn from ten to thirty acres each,
which last year produced from twenty
five to thirty bushels of, corn to the
acre and mark you, this was sad corn.
There are really two soils here, the
first is rich dark loose earth, with Il
depth of ID to "a inches. It has just
enough land in it to make the pIow
scour nicely, but not 30 much as to be
Il draw back to the land. The second
soil is not as dark as the first and of
less compact form. This sub-soil will
produce as fine wheat as any land in
the country. The climate is not gen.
orally cold but for short time dnring
the winter. The ranchmen make no
preparations for sheltering their cattle
and many of them put up no hay fer
feed during the winter months, de-
pending upon the grass for nurish-
ments for their herds of stock.
This winter has been an unusually
cold one, as it has been everywhere.
Thus you will understand we have
pure air and clean water, which give
us health We have rich soil on our
lands which will produce for us the
necessaries Of life, We have the most
beautiful land scenery i'll the world to
feast our eyes upon and [ may then
freely conclude that our country is a
land flowing with milk and honey. Six
months ago this part of Ford county
was unknown, now from the town site
in all directions the land is taken for
a distance of five to twelve miles, ex-
cept on the West, and by June I am
quite sure there will be no vacant
lands within fifty miles of this place.
Therefore let me add in conclusion
that if any reader of Tue SENTINEL
is thinking of coming West, take the
train for Spearville, via. the Santa Fe
r. r. and when you Get there, take
overland conveyance for Ford City.
When there inquire for my residing
place and I will give you a hearty
welcome and show you country
which equals any of the East and
which Nature has blessed with her
most hattering gifts. J. j. CoRAA.

about her, and in private she is rather
too modest than otherwise. Her voice

Court Week at Lexington. Nal Pin
mex Endorsed for Judge.


STAFF Correspondence OF the Sentinel.
LEXINGTON, N. c., March 49,
Superior Court for Davidson convened
here last Monday with Hon. Judge
A. A. McKoy presiding. Judge Nc
Koy dispatches the business with
great alacrity and with dignifed inn
partiality. The Judge is worthy
exponent of the Judiciary of our
,mmonwealth, his fair and impartial
decisions have attained for him n
record that is an honor to the profess
ion. The state is being defended by
our clever and genial friend, John I'll.
Dobson from Surry, who acquits him
self admirably and apparently gives
universal satisfaction. Owing to the
amount of business transacted at this
court, Davidson has been granted
a two weeks term, but since Cleve-
lands election reform has taken its
course so early that it will hardly
require all of this time to dispose of
the business.
Notwithstanding that Davidson did
a little bad in the last election, [ think
[ herald abe sentiments of the people
when | say that she will beyond per-
adventure be rewarded Judgeship
in the person of Maj. M. III. Pinnix,
one of Davidson's most worthy citi-
zens a fine lawyer and possessed with
that stirling and answering integ-
rity which should characterize every
aspirant to such lofty position. The
people from the different counties
corroborate the above by their hearty
Endorsement for his appointment.
While Lexington is not on boom
like some other towns that come with
in my travels, yet find a good deal
of genuine thrift. One of the most
remunrative enterprises here is that
of Messrs. Finch & Welborn, the
Cleveland FIGURING Mills, which is
comparatively speaking, in its infancy
having only been established since
the fall of 1884. Their Leading brand
is called Cleveland" with fit like
ness of our President on each sack,
| which gives it an Unprecedented run
| and ready sale in the Carolinas.
The directors of the R. &5 d. r. r.
are not 80 oblivious of their duty in
fixing up the depot here as they are
in Winston, for with slight exert
ion, Lexington will have a very com
Portable depot while it is not SO spac-
ious as some others; I might mention
yet it is far surpassed to that of Win
ston, though Lexington has probably
1900 inhabitants, Winston-Salem has
1000, if not 10000
I had the pleasure of meeting and
conversing with some of the foremost
farmers of Davidson and Randolph
and they inform me that the recent
snow and constant freezes have great
ly retarded the farming interest of the
country generally. The small grain
crops, especially, present a very
gloomy and backward appearance

A Guaranty of Character.

The primitive Baptists, says the Ogle-
thorpe (Ga. } Echo, make it a rule to ex-
pei member from the church who takes
advantage of any reliefTaw or refuses to
pay debt. A few months since one of
this class, a pretty rough looking case,
entered an Athens store and wanted
credit for few goods until he could sell
his cotton. Not knowing his customer,
the merchant refused; but about this
time well-known elder of the church
entered, and, tapping the farmer on the
shoulder, asked: SLOW are you, Bro.
Blank?" ''Is that gentleman mem.
Der of your church, Uncle D. ?" asked
the tradesman. "Oh, yes, and a good
one, too," was the reply. "Well, then,
my friend,'' continued the dealer, ego
through this house, from cellar to gar
ret, and pick out what you want. Twill
sell you the whole establishment, clerks
and all, on credit, with only your relig-
ion as security" It turned out that the
customer was one of the solid men of
Northeast Georgia.

An important Arrest.

The arrest of a suspicious character
upon his general appearance, move
ments or companionship, without wait
ing until he has robbed traveller, fired
house, or murdered a fellow-man, is
an important function of a shrewd de-
tective. Even more important is the
arrest of a disease which, if not check
ed, will blight and destroy a human
life. The frequent cough, loss of APP
petite. general langour or debility,
pallid skin, and bodily aches and pains,
announce the approach of pulmonary
consumption, which is promptly ar
rested and permanently cured by DIR.

The Wrong Note.

A lady of rank, says London Truth,
had received the honor of an invitation
to dinner from the Princess Mary of
Teck, for a day when she was engaged
to dine with an old friend. She wrote
two letters-one to the Princess in her
sweetest manler, acknowledging the
honor, ETC.; another to her friend. be-
ginning: "Such bore, dear Fat
Mary has invited me to dinner on our
day, and, of course, I must 60" To
her horror she learned by the next post
that her friend had the letter for the
Princess in her envelope. The mischief
was done, and she went prepared to
throw herself at the feet of her royal
hostess, when the Princess met her with
open hands and smiling face as she said ::
"Fat Mary is very pleased to see you,
and hopes you won't find her bore"
