General Grant In the AdIrOndaoks-He
Stands the Journey Remarkably Well
and is Quietly Installed at "Grant Cot
tage."
SARATOGA, N. Y, June l7.-As the
train started for Mount MacGregor GEN.
eral Grant waved his handkerchief from
the car. On the trip up he sat in cane.
seated armchair and devoted his time
principally to viewing the beautiful
scenery along the route. At Mount Mac.
Gregor everybody was on the alert when
it was learned that message had been
received that General Grant has Just left
Saratoga and was on the way up the
mountain. The finishing touches had been
given to the "Grant Cottage" and the
group at the mountain listened anXously
for the whistle of the train. The well
come sound was soon heard and at 2:39
p. IN. the train pulled up at the rustic
station, and in few moments the entire
party alighted
A cot has been provided with mat
tresses and pillows on which to carry the
General to the cottage, but it was not
used General Grant stepped from the
car, assisted by Colonel Grant, and
started to walk with a comparatively firm
step, leaning on the arms of Officers
John NJ. Fryer and James Menick. He
walked up the inclined walk and into
the arbor, where he rested in a
chair. After brief rest, the Off GERS
picked up the chair, and carried the in
valid to the foot of the steps of the cot
tage. Here the General motioned to be
set down and with his cane in his hand
he raised himself ous of the chair and
astonished his friends by the ease with
which he assembled the steps to the piaz-
"a, where he was handed a chair.
The cottage has been fitted up richly,
but plainly. 1t faces the east, is of wood,
and two stores in height. The Generals
room is a large and airy apartment, and
connected with Mrs. Grants room. EX-
cellent engravlngs of Grant and Lincoln
decorate the walls.
Pitched short distanc away is an army
tent occupied by +. c. Chaplain Willett
of Post Lew Benedict No. 8, of Albany.
He will see that quiet is maintained, and
that the Generals presence is not in
truded upon. The General passed most
of the time this afternoon resting on a
revolving chair on the piazza. Twice on
the trip from New York DR., Douglas at
tended to his throat, and once after his
arrival here.
General Grant appeared on the piazza
in the evening, and remained there until
half past seven O'Clock, when he retired.
At late hour DIR. Douglas reported
him as doing as well as could be expect
ed, and that he seemed to have gained
some strength. At l0:45 p. m. every
BODY in the cottage had retired TO rest.

Prohibition Getting IA Firm Hold In Texas.
DALLAS, Ten, June 14.-Several coun-
ties yesterday held prohibition elections.
A telegram from Crockett says Houston
County defeated prohibition by large
majority. A telegram from Palo Pinto
says prohibition carried in Palo Pinto
County, the majority being very heavy
against the sale of ardent beverages.
The latest news last night indicates the
Prohibitionists have secured the best OF
the contest in the city elections. Benton
County, Palo Pinto County and Lime
stone County are known to have Endorsed
Prohibition by gooG maiorities. Houston
County is certainly against Prohibition
and kaufman County is close, with the
liquor men claiming about two hundred
majority. Dallas County held no cleo
ton, but the temperance people are work
ing to have one ordered for some time In
July, when they claim theV will carry the
county.

Horse raising is a rapidly growing
industry in Montana. The pasturage
is excellent and the thin air increases
the animals lung capacity. Breeders
are using finely bred stations and they
confidently expect that in a few years
the Blue Grass region will have for
midable rival in the Blue Grass plains.

EDITOR TIMEs;-i'lease find space
for my report;
| live seven miles west of Osce0-
la, one mile south. We have the
finest crops ! ever saw-corn and
cotton.
After having dry May, some OF
our cotton looked like the old moon
just two days before the change af-
ter all mishaps and besctments.
This settlement can excel any
portion of Mississippi County, and !
am not afraid to say it will compare
favorably with amy portion of the
state.
We have good roads, good socie-
ty, good neighbors, two Churches,
one free school, good health and
very good water.
We have all kinds or fruit, apples.
peaches, pears, ounce, cherries,
plums, wild and cultivated, grapes
and "pawpaws."
Mr.. Editor, come to see us and
bring your better half with you.

TO SCHOOL DIRECTORS.
Respectfully,
+ BEvEI..

The attention of the Directors OF
the several school districts of Misss-
sippi county is invited to section
1927 of the school law, by which
they are required to make their an
nual and enumeration reports to the
county examiner. The blanks for
making these reports, if not already
supplied, can be had by applying at
this Office. The directors will OBJ
serve that they are required to take
the enumeration Of persons within
school age, residing in the several
districts, on the lst. day of Septem-
Der, and transmit the same duly YER
i6ed by their oaths, to the examiner
on or before the 10th. day of that
month.
The directors will further observe
that their annual reports embrace
the financial year, commencing July
1st., 1884. and ending June Both,
1885. They can readily obtain the
information required from their own
records, If properly kept, or from
the clerk of the county court. and
from the registers kept by teachers.
Attention is further directed to
section 622S, and the penalties ac-
cruing for failure, or neglect, to re-
port. They may be prosecuted by
information in the circuit court, with
out indictment, and besides fine,
amounting to the loss sustained by
the district, they forfeit the office.
To avoid mistakes, the directors,
when they make their reports to the
examiner. will demand receipt.

County Examiner.

not in the least detract from the

During the absence Of the town
Marshal, who went on a Summer
tour to the Lake, Mr.. p. J. Kelcl
was substituted, and totcd the bat.
ton of authority. As Mr.. p. J. is a
little near sighted, the boys had con-
siderable sport at his expense, and
confused hlm no lttle, by pulling up
the Lamp-posts and setting them
down in out of the way places.
While this was fun for the boys, the
Merchants, from the immediate Vi
cinity of whose stores the Lamps
were removed, were justly indignant.
Rev. w. A. Lewis, the colored
pastor of the A. NJ. f. Church. took
exception to the notice in our last
weeks issue, relative to the proposed
out door meeting to take place on
the 10Th, at Camp Cody, and SEEM
ed to think that we aimed to "bur-
lesque" him. In this connection we
simply desire to say that we had no
intention to burlesque him or his
calling; perhaps the squib was not
explicit enough, and as he himself
admitted, "it is impossible to hold a
religious meeting either outdoors or
indoors without the protection of the
civil law, there as those who attend
Just such assemblies to disturb and
otherwise cast reproach upon rel-
gion," we now desire to add that we
bad this idea in mind when we pen,
ned the little notice, and for the
want of space, and not thinking its
meaning and language would be
misconstrued, failed to add, that it
was to be deplored that the progress
in refinement and civilization among
our citizens had not yet reached that
point, where religious services,-thc
requirement. more than any other, to
which our colored citizens seem to
devote all their time and energy,
could not yet be indulged in and en-
joyed, unless guarded and protected
bv the strong arm oe the civil law.
We would suggest that until that
point in reverence to the religion of
Christ is reached by them, it would
be better to con6ne their services
inside the Church buildings, where
the officers could, at least, have a
chance to arrest offenders.

HIom the Fort Gaines Tribune.
Fort Gaines has s6me very religious ami
mails of the canine order. These dogs are
poodles, settlers, pointers and sometimes
a long-eared hound. They take their re-
spective places in the church, and if not
interfered with during the singing they
join in the chorus. The principal part,
though, is that they like to act as usheH
and run around and sec that everybody
is pleasantly seated. Now while some
may think these animals are very indis-
pensable, we beg to say you are badly mis-
taken, and would ask you to keep them
at home, as we are opposed to the civil
rights bill, and especially to people and
dogs worshipping in the same sanctuary.
