MORE ABOUT THE WHEEL.
Editor EXCHANGE:

Editor Exchange:
One of the objects of the Agricul-
tural Wheel is to establish trade
housessby entering into contracts with
existing firms, where it can he done
satisfactorily, to supply members of
the Wheel with dry goods and gro
ceries. If no arrangement can be
made with existing firms some other
method will have to be adopted by the
Wheel to supply its members.
1t is claimed by those who ought to
know, where trade houses have been
established, that members of the
Wheel have greatly benefited by the
reduction prices. The right of the
Agricultural Wheel to establish trade
houses has been denied, but presume
such denial will not be needed by
men who are free to make arrange
ments to better their condition. If
farmers have not that right their con-
dition is to be deplored.
A committee was appointed by the
Agricultural Wheel to confer with
the merchants of Milan, with regard
to establishing trade houses. The
com mittee did not accept the terms
offered, believing that better terms
could be secured in the future than
we're offered. If the committee was a
mob in any sense of the term, it was
not the intention of the Agricultural
Wheel to mob any one by a commit
tee appointed to confer with our mer,
chants. And. so far as | am advised
the meeting of the merchants of Mi
Ian with the committee was kind and
courteous. CITIZEN.

The LEGAL Paper.

Every week every local paper gives
from one hundred to FIVE thousand
lines for the sole heneGt of the vicini-
ty in which it is published. No other
agency can or will do this, The local
editor, according to his means, does
more for a town than any ten men,
and he ought to be supported, not be-
cause you may admire or like his
writing; but because the local paper is
the best Investment community cali
make. 1t may not be brilliant or
crowded with great thoughts, but f.
nancially it is more benefit than the
preacher or teacher.
Understand US now, we don't mean
intellectually or morally, and yet on
moral questions you will fadthe ma
jority Of the local papers do the most
work for the least money Of any class
of men on earth, and irrespective o.
party utilization every business man
should literally support his local pa
per, and not as ali act of charity, but
as a financial investment.-Chicago

Jennings.

From the Humboldt Ga. Independent.
Mr.. EDITOR Your correspondent
"Bailey," as quoted by your Humboldt
reporter, gives wrong impression in
some respects. Three years since all
lands on the prairies around Jennings
were held by the Government and liza
bic as homesteads, at from 10 cents to
$1.25 per acre. To $40 to $25 per
acre is a pretty sharp advance and
speaks well for the country, and is
true of the immediate vicinity. Bnt
60 two miles out and IS will buy as
good land; ten to fifteen miles for
Government land.
The grass is coarse but of most ex-
ceIlent quality. The estimate of a
ton per acre is correct for this year,
for the reason that our prairies were
all burned over thereby killing the
roots of the grass, which require two
years to recover Last year the same
lands yielded two tons per acre and
will do so again when not burnt
out. He speaks of fruit growing as
experimental With peaches, figs,
pears, ounce, plums and neetarines
the experiment has lasted 100 years.
Is not that long enoughl We do not
claim anything on oranges only that
the crop is surer than the crab-apple
crop of the North. The peach will
live and bear fruit even 40 to so years
aud will live many beyond the years
of man, and once figs, always figs.
The fig is the coming fruit. The tree
has no enemy; requires no care; the
fruit is very valuable for pressing,
canning, crystalizing and drying. 1t
makes the best of vinegar and is valu-
able even to fatten hogs. An acre of
figs at one cent pound for the ripe
fruit will pay ten per cent interest
upon $4,000 per acre, figs (green) in
California are q cents per pound and
81 to cents in New Orleans.
Land will pay 5 per cent; Govern
ment bonds will only pay per cent.
Our land for hay alone will pay
S per cent upon 800 per acre, and
will bring that money as soon as the
understand and know that fact,
and for fruits are more valuable than
for we raise the same fruits
on clay soil without fertilizing any or
and are nearer market. Clay
soils give the finest flavor.
Truly yours, S. L. CARY.

A MoTHER'S LARENT.

And art thou dead, my bonnie boy,
And hast thou fed from me
And shall Enever hear again
Thy laugh of infant glee
oh, heavy is my heart, my heart,
And fast the tears run o'er,
To think those little arms of love
Shall never clasp me more
Swectly the sun stole in at morn
To kiss the baby face,
While o'er thy cot thy mother bent,
To mark thy perfect grace.
The neighbor children they might die,
For they were not so fair;
But Death himself would plead Heaven
My bonuie boy to spare.
Yet ah the tiny hands are still
The merry voice is hush'd
There is no light in those dear cheeks
But late with roses flushed.
In vain / call thee, pretty one,
And clasp thee to my breast;
Cold, cold art thou Yet l will bow,
For God He knoweth best.

GUM, La, Aug. 20, 's6.
Editor Lake Charles Echo;
Mr.. Robert johnson, living about
three miles from this place, whose
family are visiting relatives on Bayou
Clear, went to Alexandria yesterday
after medicine for DIR. L. 7. Harper,
when, about 2 or 3 o'clock p. m, his
neighbors discovered his house on fire,
1t is believed to be the work of an in
cendiary, as there had been no fire on
the premises for several days. The
party firing the house seemed to have
relented, as he carried out'one bed and
several quilts, which is all that Mr.,
johnson has left of his house or con-
tents.
There is great deal of sickness
here, Cotton doing splendidly. Corn
is now made, but not very good. This
is the potato year. Mr.. Obey John

may plant turnips.
