something should be done in the
way of bounty. In beat 4 above
Faisouia, Uncle Billy Hill killed a
large wolf in the act of killing q
three year old calf. He reported
that there we're about a dozen in
the drove. Dave Lick on Monday

Mr.. j. I. Lovengood, of Alliga.
tor Lake, obtained a handful of
seed of the cotton which took the
prize at the Centenlal Exhibition
in 1876, and which was grown by
Mr.. Taylor, of Phillips county,
Arkansan. Mr.. Lovengood plant.
ed this seed carefully, aud has
nursod and improved it ever
since. He has sold every year
more or less of the seed, aud now
has GO acres in this cotton, which
has been made better by careful
selection and good cultivation
than the osiginal premium bale.
Mr.. Lovengood sells this improv.
ed cotton at from three to five
cents per pound more than the or.
dinary cotton, which certainly
pays him for the little extra care
to keep it in improved condition;
and his sales of seed annually al.
most equals that of his cotton
crop. lie has also IL acres in

The delegates from this comfy
sent to meet the Yazoo Missis
sippi Levee Board and demand
that the Board assume charge of
and maintain the levees of south
Coahoma, haye returned. Tho
Board rejected their demand, but
it is understood that this was done
for the purpose of having a con.
ference with the Lower Board aud
getting their co operation and
support AS to the leveess men
toned. If nothing can be done
with the Lower Board, the Yazoo.
Mississippi Levee Board will have
to take charge of the Levees,
which fact they well realize.
Since this was written we see
from a telegram to the Avalanche
that the Lower Board declined to
accept the proposition Of the VA
oo.Mississippi Delta Board to
divide the expense of keeping of
the Levees equally between the
two Boards. Yazoo Sentinel.
G. L. Anderson, OF Attala coun-
ty, received the nomination as tho
Democratic candidate for Con.
gress In the 9th (Singleton's) Dis
trict, at the Forest convention.
While this nomination is u sur.
prise to many. still the mantle of
the "Old War IIorse'' has fall.
len on the shoulders of a man, as
upright and honorable as can be
found in Mississippi. Ye Editor
was under him during the war, and
the motto of Lieut.. Anderson was
"duty"; and what was SAID of Gen.
Jos. +. Johnson can be applied rs
well TO Capt. Anderson, viz "All
the thunders Of the Almighty can't
scare him, and all the gold IN the
Rocky Mountains wont bny him."
Without the brilliancy of some he
is second to none as hard work
ing pain-taking lawyer, and he
will! carry these qualifications into
the halls of Congress-, which will
be of more benefit to his constitn
ents than if he was one of the
wordy and windy kind. We wish
him God speed Valley Flag.

young men are better known or
more generally liked than Archie
