GODDARD. Mas, Oct. Il
To the Editor Of the EAGLE
There will be wedding in the conn
try Saturday, but am not at liberty
to give the names.
1t would be useless task to name
all the citizens of Goddard and vicin-
ty who have taken claims in the west
lately.
The old Literary society of God
dard died natural death, and new
one has been organized in its stead on
q different plan, none but members
being admitted.
The statement in to-day's EAGLE
that Ernest White was ruined by in
temperance is mistake. So far as
can be learned it was debt alone led
him into temptation. His case carries
its own lesson with it.
A literary society will be organ
lied at the Attica school house to-
morrow evening.
a young man by the name Of Chas.
Richardson died at the fremont hoteI
to-day. He came here last week sick
and without money. but was very
kindly cared for. His father, who is
said TO be a banker in illinois, has
been telegraphed for.
Gone and one make one by the
matrimonial addition table. This
time it is Mr. S. J.. Taylor and Miss
Manic OFT. who were united in holy
bonds at 9 o'clock this evening by
Rev. N. f. Harmon, of Wichita. We
understand that the happy couple will
go to Nebraska on a wedding tour and
then return TO Goddard to live. VI
correspondent extends congratulation:
with wishes for long life and happi-
ness-abundant.

OHIO

The olumbus Journal OF Tnesda,
sums up the Ohio election rs follows:
ain fact, al. doubtful cases are set
tied on the legislative ticket, since two
Republican representatives arc Sc
cured from Franklin county, except
the four senator's and ten representa-
tives from Hamilton county. The
Republicans are now sure, from the
certificates of election already issued,
of II senators and IS representatives,
or IS votes out OF a total of 147 on
Joint ballot. Ii all of Hamilton coun-
~ is counted for the Democrats, the
legislature will stand IS Republicans
to ~ Democrats, and the senate will
stand IL Republicans to 20 Democrats,
with the house So Republicans to 81
Democrats"
This Gets at rest the complexion of
the legislature, and secures the return
of John Sherman to the senate. Ohio
will hereafter vote in November in
stead Of October, the amendment to
the constitution TO that effect having
carried.

We clip the following from
the Winfield Sentinel, and believe
that it really happened, as this is
an off year for accidents of the kind:
"a cyclone passed over the Broad
well place in Natchitoches parish,
last Wednesday and blew down
some seven Or eight houses. No
lives were lost, though some cattle
on the place were injured. A ne.
gro, it is reported, was standing
several hundred yards from the riv-
err hank when the cyclone lifted
him off his feet and he shot through
the air like a bullet shot out of a
gun in the direction Of the river.
Fortunately large tree stood on
the brink Of the river, and as he
was hurled along he caught one Of
it's branches and was sryed."

MAJOR L. j. Bird, State Com

ceived quito an interesting letter
from Gen. G. Mason Graham, Of
Rapides Parish, in which the Gen.
eral relates points in his farm expe-
riences in the early times. We have
space only for few quotations.
The General says: "There are two
items of experience, however, which
may be of utility to some one on
the upgrade Of life that / can give
you. / always heard my father
say (who had much to do with the
early settlement and clearing Of the
lands ON that portion of the Ohio
river flowing between the States of
Kentucky and Ohio, and my own
experience has confirmed it to me,
that the best time for "belting'
trees, with view to their destruc-
ton, is during the dark of the
moon in August. The other item
relates to the durability of timber.
In August, 1s47, I built in the
Pine Hills, West of Bayou Rap
ides, house for my own use on
the 9TH Of September-it was SIN
gle room 20 feet square, of hewn
pine logs, with a "Teetotum" roof
over it 40 feet square. covered with
90 inch heart pine boards. A few
years afterwards, when the general
habit Of the planters here was to
retreat to the Pine Hills in Summer,
had ceased, I took it to pieces and
removed it to the plantation on Ba-
you Rapides, saving enough Of the
boards to recover three faces of the
roof. The fourth side, facing the
North was covered with new heart
cypress boards, gotten ont during
the Spring. The roof was then
painted red, using..linseed oil. To-
day, after the lapse of SO years,
the three pine board faces are in
better condition than the cypress
faces, the boards of which are five
years newer" The General also
gives the result of an experiment
in planting on land without extra
preparation. He says: ''Taking it
into my head to make an expert
ment Of planting a small piece of
ground in cotton, previously in cul-
tivation, without plopghing it at
all before planting it. Iselected a
small piece of ground conveniently
located, which was the only consid-

A Caravan Of Plugs-A TemPting Bite Tor
Suckers.

Professional horse jockeys confined to
plugs is bad enough and the ordinary farm
er boys first lesson in horse trading is an
admonition to shun them outright, but
when combination of horse jockeys and
Gypsies get together and move in force with
caravan of worthless plugs and strike
camp, then the boy or man who can so
far loose his good horse sense as to trade
with them be ought to be at once classed as
thoroughbred sucker, to use slang term.
The reporter is called TO these reflections by
the recent advent of carrivan Of American
Gypsies encamped on one of the prominent
streets of the city, almost blocking it up
with observation-disclosures
wrecks of horseHesh, and the daily offers OF
trade held out to farmers who
may by chance pass BY. The
recent trade, made by a boy in which two
valuable mules were acquired by cAjoling
him into taking and dragging away two
crow-baits in pay therefor, is an illustration
of the energetic character of the genius they
have for driving bargains. Such ability
would start in with jaek-knife and come
out with mule team, or with goat anc
end with q thoroughbred. The resident
horse importers want TO know if they have
la license.

DEAD BROKE

Mechanics of all trades in this city tell
some pitiful tales Of the number of dead
broke mechanics who arrive in this city from
all quarters almost daily. They are willing
to work at any price but there is already a
surplus of mechanics of all trades here not
withstanding the great number of buildings
going up. Some of these dead broke me-
chanics bring tools with them but the ma
jority have neither tools nor money. MIR.
c. ID. Bush. of the tanning mill factory, told
a reporter yesterday that there is hardly a
day that some two or three don't come to
him looking for job. The other day a
msn came to his shop who excited his pity
He was an elderly man, gentlemanly in ap-
pearance and department, who had guam
tity of tools worth about 81 which he ofler-
ed for 81, which amount he said would take
him 20 place where he had friends.
Mr. Bush having confidence in the man.
loaned, or rather gave him, 81, and did moi
take the tools. In few days he SAYS the
man enclosed him So in letter. Many
worthy men come here who have Travelled
weeks IN search of work, and then again
there are as many or probably twice as
many who are not particularly mashed on
work. 4 reporter met man about II
years old the other morning as he came
down town TO breakfast, who was trying TO
beg money to take him to Ohio.
This is great city for all manner of peo-
pie to congregate, and not day passes that
there is not from one to half dozen beggars
in town, and not q night that somebody's
house is no: burglariously entered. 1t is the
general opinion that the police will be
called upon to exercise unusual vigilance the
coming winter. This city has nopaupers Of
her own; they all come here dead broke.
