Profitableness of Crcameries.

There are several very successful cream.
cries in operation in Mississippi One be.
gan business in May of last year at Aber.
deem. From 100 to 200 pounds of butter
are made daily, and it has sold in the win
ter and spring for thirty cents at the factory
and in other months for twenty five cents.
1t ships cream to New Orleans, netting
from eighty cents to 81 IS per gallon. These
facts are taken from a communication in the
Manufacturers' Record, and we copy some
other information that ought to stimulate
our people to practice the good example,
The writer says:
''The creamery is very popular with the
patrons, all of whom are increasing their
herds and paying more attention to improve
ment of pastures and raising forage
Butter is shipped into sou thcrn cities by
the car load, coming largely from the west
ern creameries. There is no reason why
this caunot be made here if people will get
the stock and give them the necessary at
tention. Land is cheap and good natural
pastures readily provided. Cream
cries have been started at the following
named places in this State that I know of ,
while there are several more under way:
Aberdeen. Mason. Meridian, Bolton, Vicks-
burg, fernando. Bluff Springs, Starkville,
Agricultural college, Crawford, Verona
and Tupelo. The last two are just starting.
Organizations for starting new factories are
being formed in dozen other places so that
we will no doubt soon have them spread
over the State"
Now, if all Of this can be done in Missis-
sippi, with so much advantage, where they
have not half SO good cattle or grass pro-
ducing country as we have here at our own
doors, why cannot the same thing be done
in Virginia, and especially in all of Pied
mont, the Valley and the Southwest, where
the prOductiveness of the soil and the fat
ness of the cattle equal if they do not ex-
coed any country in tho world. Seeing
what is done probably in Mississippi can
be done in old Virginia, and no State offers
better advantages for stock and butter rails
ing than all Of this section. We trust our
people will at once invest good share of
their capital and labor in that great indus
try.--Lynchburg Adrance.

Our Artists have returned from their va
cation, and will spend the Christmas holi-
day in our midst. Miss Won Hillern is much
pleased with her trip on the B. & o. where
she had unusually fine opportunity to get
its winter garb. She was for about three
weeks at the Palmer House, Chicago. and
is enthusiastic in praise of this splendid ho-
tel, which is one of the largest and finest
in the world. One curious feature is the
floor of the Barber's room, which has many
real silver dollars inlaid in the marble floor.
Miss Won Hillern expects to paint some in
teresting winter scenes from notes taken on
this trip along the B. & o. Some of these
ladies' paintings are now on exhibition at
O'Brien's fine art gallery, on Wabash Ave

statement that her husband had murdered
and robbed man in his bar room in Rich

FIELD FIR PRoHIBITIoN.-The State of
Vermont has prohibitory law. 1t would
therefore be incredible, if it were not stated
by the Voice, prohibition paper, that the
number of liquor-dealers in that State in
creased during the past year from 494 to
573, or more than 10 per cent, while the
population has remained stationary. These
figures have been taken from a table COM
piled by the internal revenue bureau, and
are regarded as thoroughly trustworthy.
Accepting them as correct, the Voice finds
that Vermont has one liquor-dealer to every
$50 of population. In bennington, which
has population of 1888, there are 60
saloons. Maine and New Hampshire are
prohibition States, but they are also well
served with intoxicating drinks. Maine
has one dealer to every 624 of population,
while New Hampshire has one dealer to
every 256. A small proportion of these
dealers are druggists, but the overwhelming
majority, it is stated, are regular saloon
keepers This is certainly an unfortunate
state of affairs.-Balt. Sun.

BLACKBURN KILLED BY DAvIs.-LaSt
Thursday night, near Greenwood, Abe
marie county, J. r. Blackburn and L. W.
Davis engaged in quarrel in the formers
store, which resulted in Davis shooting
Blackburn in the heart, killing him instant
ly. Davis has been arrested. He is son
of the late Braxton Davis of this county.
In reference to this sad occurrence, q
telegram from Charlottesville to the Rich.
moAd Dispatch, under date of Dec. Gath,
says
There had been shooting match in the
neighborhood during the day, and two men
j. r Blackburn and Livingston DAVIS
seemed to tie on the choice of turkeys,
which were the stakes. Night coming on
and the dispute being undecided, they
agreed between themselves at Blackburn's
store, which was il the neighborhood, to
match off for the choice of these turkeys.
This they proceeded to do with nickels. In
the course of the match Davis remarked to
Blackburn, "You won't do right, nohow,
at which remark Blackburn ordered him
out Of his house and threatened to put him
out Blackburn then advanced around the
counter to put Davis out, when Davis
picked up double-barrefed shotgun which
was lying on the counter and told Black
burn not to advance upon him. Blackburn
did advance, when Davis pulled down up
on him, shooting him down in his store.
Davis afterwards surrendered himself to
the magistrate of that district, Captain
John Wray, who recognized him to appear
on Saturday for trial. Davis is represented
to be man of tremendous strength, weigh
ing over 200 pounds, while his victim was
a man of ordinary size, who could have
been easily handled by Davis in rough
and-tumble fight. 1 learn that the PEOPLE
of that community are very much incensed
against Davis. l also learn that the Com
monwealth's attorney, M. Woods, ESQ.,,

The Farmer.

The New York Herald has an interest
ing article on American farmers, in which
it sets down the fact that "of our entire
exports eighty-four per cent. comes from
the ground and from mines, forests and
fisheries; while only sixteen per cent is the
product OF machinery" and that of our
cotton and grain one ''keeps the spindles of
England busy and the other feeds the
world" The Herald notes, Furthermore,
that there ars four million farms in this
country, covering ''Eearly three hundred
million acres of improved land" and that
1.-The estimated value of the yearly product
of these farms is between two and three
thousand millions of dollars" That Jour
nal draws the following true picture of the
sTay in which the farmer, despite his vast
sfulness, is persistently ignored: essa'
Wyery few people appreciate the il. -,
tancs Q. 1zes sleas .f iteissss. We
hear the everlasting hum of our man facto-
ries night and day, and every orator who
talks about the spendor OF this country re-
fers in the most glowing language to our
workshops and mills and looms and FORCES
and trip-hammers. But the farmer is sell
dom heard of. He sits quietly in the back
ground by the side of his plough and
threshisg machine, as though he were of
little account"
The farmer is only remembered when
taxes are needed and when some greedy
bounty-grabber demands that he shall be
made to contribute to his private fortune
His coat, his hat, his blankets, his plates
and knives and forks, and even part of his
food are taxed for the sake of protection
whose benefits he can never enjoy, and men
seek in vain to deceive him with talk about
home market when after more than a
quarter Of century of protsction he is COM
pslled to sell every bushel of wheat he
raises for mere pittance. But the farmers
are weary of the idle prattle of those whr
clamor for protection either for expediency 9
sake or for gain. The man who thinks be
can fool them is the worst fooled man in
the world .-Rich. State,

THE BODY FOUND IN THE WOODS A WEEK

years of age, of Oaks, Chatham county. N.

prominent educator, who was engaged to
be married to Miss Lizzie B. burlington, Of

matron in the D. D. ard Blind Institution

week, and left her body in the woods where
it was not found, though many had been
searching for it, until the next Friday
week after the murder had been committed,
and the murderer had made his escape.
Rev. Job Turner of this city informed us
last week that he had been spoken to to
marry this couple on Sunday of this week,
ss we understood him. Both of these
parties belong to good and respectable fmi-
lies. The following special telegram to the
