Reports concerning the winter wheat
crop are of rather gloomy character.
The damage from winter killing and
other causes is said to be very great,
and there are predictions that the

We take great pride in announcing
II that the cattle fair, acid in Morris
yesterday, was success in every respect
We wsIe, in fact, surprised to ind that
the farrl.rs had taken such an interest
that many had left their seeding to bring
in some contribution. Several buyers
from Montana and Northen Dakota
where present, but, owing to the Inferior
quality Of much Of the cattle brought in
for sale, were not heavy purchasers
= Two car loads of hogs were sold at three
and a half cents, live weight, which was
considered fair price, at this time.
Some sheep were also disposed of at
! various figures. The display efstaliious
was the finest eyer seen in this county,
/ and surprisingly maltitudinous. Alto
I: gether, 40 we said, the fair was q great
success, and If the farmers interest does
not flag, the failure promises mucl,
benefit to all frcla these shows.

in from the mining camp to buy stores,
and among other things he wanted but
ter. Huntington had several tubs
brought from Orange county, the IA
nous butter producing region of New
York. The miners had all the good
things that money would buys and the
storekeepeT from the mining camp was
bound to take back the best he could
find.
~ want some bang-up butter" was
the way the stOTekeeper from the camp
sign fed his desire.
"Well," said Huntington, ''here is
some all the way from New York State,
the real genuine Orange county article"
Huntington ran the trIer down to the
bottom of the tub, and the storekeeper
ran his nose along it when it was pulled
out.
whats the tax on that grease 2" he
asked.
That's thirty-fve cents a pound
replied Huntington.
"Hain,t you got something leetle
better z" asked the stOrekeeper.

would not he satisfied if he did not
show something better, and he was
equal to the occasion. Here's some
for fifty cents,n said Huntington, as he
drew the trier out, and the storekeeper's
nose followed it from one end to the
other.
"Now, that's little like it, said the
storekeeper, "but," he added with a
wink" come now, hain't you got some
thing that the flies won't settle on,
that's furlined and hairtopped ? There's
nothing too good for us, and we've got
the dust to pay for it,"

third tub of the same lot, and the store
keepers nose followed the line of butter
for the third time.
How much is she assessed at?" ask

"Sixty-fve cents a pound"
"You hain't got too much for me-"

A Curious act.

A Massachusetts, editor says that
great many persons in New England
believe that the springfield lakes in that
part of the country, if not actually
bottomless, are at least unfathomable
bv man. What the editor says is
curious fact, and his statement viii APP
peal as familiar truth to every reader
who was New England boy, although
we do not remember ever to have seen
such statement in print before. Of q
score of New England lakes and ponds
that we can recall, every one was cred
tied by tradition with having at some
particular spot hole so deep that one
was loath to. imagine how frightfully
far-reaching it was. Young swimmers
avoided passing over such holes, in the
vague fear that t},ey might encounter
suctions which would draw them in
staftIy into the center of the earth,
and young skaters summed their
neighborhood, although it might be
that the ice above them was two feet
thick. We recall one of these holes of
tradition in pond in Western Massa-
chusetts. 1t was called quite awfully,
fuckers Hole, and there was a general
suspicion that it connected with the
Dead Sea at least The pond was filled
up without any difficulty few years
ago. fuckers Hole along with the rest.
Still the other ponds Whereabouts con-
tinue to have their bottomless holes,
and the humiliation of fuckers Hole
has discredited them not in theleast.-

The PardOning Power.
Marksville Review.

From time to time we see in the pa
pers that Executive clemency has been
exercised in favor of some inmate of
the penitentiary. We are of the Opin-
ion that not enough prudence and Cir
cumspection is used as the gravity of
the subject requires. Under the moral
decadence of our jury system, it is a
difficult matter to bring offenders to
justice. Their conviction is obtained
only after great labor by the officers
entrusted with their prosecution and
after prosecution and after great ex-
pense to the respective parishes where
their crimes have been committed. 1t
should therefore, be only when thor
0ughly satisfied that the applicant for
pardon is worthy of executive clemen-
cy, that the Judge, District Attorney
and Board of pardon, should recon-
mend such an one to the Governor.
Neither the influence nor opportunities
of friends of the condemned should
weigh feather. Facts and facts alone
should be required and sought after.
Under the present working of the par
dOning system, the poor and friendless
stand but little chance of that Execu-
tive clemency of which they are, in
many instances, a thousand times more
worthy than those who are dismissed
from the walls of the penitentiary.

Considerable time and attention has
been devoted this year, by a number of
our citizens, to the silk industry, and
some of them have made large guam
tity Of cocoons, of superior quality, and
it is now we'll established fact our
parish is peculiarly adapted to the rails
ing of silk worms. They thrive here,
and the cocoons are as fine as can be
found anywhere. The all-important
question, however, is will it pay 2" In
this respect, the experience of our citi-
zens is that it an Improbable business.
One gentleman, who recently sent forty
pounds Of rich yellow cocoons to the
city, informs us they brought only six
ty-five cents per pound, and he says he
cannot afford to make them at that
price. And this appears to be the uni
sversal opinion. Our parish is we'll
adapted to the silk industry, and many
would embark in it, were it for the fact
that sit don't pay-there's no money in
it.-St. Tammany Farmer.

Many regard the Southwest as new
country, and look for new things when
visiting the Southwestern lands. But
in reality the Territory teemed with an
active population, versed in science, in
the art of government, in the knowledge
of manufacturing industries before
Milton and Shakespeare and Ceryantes
and Columbus were born. 1t is posi-
BILE, indeed, and quite probable that
Arizona was progressive and populous
region when Noah built the ark, when
the battle of Thermopolya was fought,
when Homer wrote his epics. In fact,
it is an old country, rich with history
that may never be known, sacked and
pillaged, neglected and forgotten dur
ing the years in which the East grew
