Cotton Seed Makes Corn.

1t seems from the following
item, that one Of tile most prof
liable features of raising cotton,
is to enhance land by fertilizing
with cotton seed. .
Make the calculation and see
how many dollars in cotton seed
value it took to make Mr.. Stalls
acre of land rise from $6 to a
$50 dollar acre-or from a. {
bushel to a 80 bushel acre.
Mr.. Stall is a Bienville farm
er, and writes to the Pelican
State as follows:
II selected a poor acre OF
ground that [ am confident
would not produce at the most
six bushels of corn without fer
tilizing. | selected this spot te
test the effect of fertilizing the
poorest land and to see whethel
it would be cheaper to reclaim
old land than to clear new
ground. I MANFRED with fifty
bushels of we'll rotted cotton
seed in the drill, after which J
added 500 pounds of cotton seet
meal-three burrows to each row
of corn at the different ploWings
cultivated this acre the same
as my other corn ; no more no
less, and / am satisfied that
will make fifty bushels provides

Death of Presley Lamb.

p. W. Lamb died at Ontario, Or
egon, last Tuesday, September II,
1888, aged "a years. For over a
year Mr.. Lamb had been afflicted
with lung disease to such an extent
as to incapacitate him for labor at
his Notwithstanding. Since
leaving Mountain Home he has
tried Bennett Creek, Pine Grove
and Ontario, hoping that a change
of locality would be beneficial, but
it proved without avail. His re-
mains were brought here Wednes-
day and deposited in Mountain
Home cemetery. Rev. J. A. Joslyn
Of Shoshone delivered very inn
pressive funeral sermon, and the
cortege consisted Of number OF
friends of deceased. Pres. Lamb
was kind husband, good citizen
and highly esteemed by all who
knew him, and his bcreaved wife
has the sympathy of this com
munity.

ODD FELLOWS DEDICATION
RAIL-.

The Mountain Home Odd Eel
lows will dedicate their new hall
in the afternoon Of the 10Th Of Oc-
tober and give a dance the same
evening. Every imaginable thing
will be done by the members Of the
order and our citizens generally for
the comfort and pleasure Of those
who may attend from distance,
and we hope to see large delegations
from abroad. The nohle-hearted
ladies have volunteered to prepare
the ball supper, and this fact alone is
guarantee that it will be OF unsur.
passed elegance.
Mountain Home Lodge of Odd
Fellows has done vast deal q
good work since its organization
in caring for the sick and buryins
their dead, and last spring the treas
ury of the lodge was drained from
this cause to the extent Of some
thing over 5000. They hope Il
realize handsome sum from thi
ball, and very naturally look for
general attendance of Odd Fellow
particularly and the public gcner
ally. Every lodge in the Tcrritor.
should lend Mountain Home Lodg
a helping hand on this occasion b.
the purchase Of a few tickets a
least.

A Tennessee Campaign Lie.

Following is a campaign editorial
in an East Tennessee paper: The
enemies Of Captain George Hicks,
our most prominent candidate for
sheriff, maliciously assert that he is
a prohibitionist. This is the black
est and most ancalled for Islander of
the campaign. We have known the
Captain for several years, and have
proof that he is not prohibitionist,
and in proofof this assertion-which
we do not make without mature de-
liberation-we submit the following
facts: On the night of June 10 the
Captain got 80 drunk over at Fra
zer's Point that he had to be taken
home in a wagon. The next day,
in the presence of some Of our most
prominent citizens, he was seen to
drink a cocktail. Four days later
he got drunk at Miller's Landing
and fell into the river. This can
not be successfully disputed, for the
feat was witnessed by the County
Judge and a number of our mos,
prominent citizens. Since then the
Captain has been a liberal drinker
and we dare any black-heartee
scoundrel in this county to come
forward and attempt refutation o
these facts. We do not object t.
open and manly opposition, but W.
despise the sneaking and under
handed way employed by certain
disreputable politicians Of thi
community.

TIME TO ACT.

The BULLETIN is anxious to see
proper move made by the people of
Western Alturas for the division of
the county. We therefore call upon
all who have an interest in this
matter to send us their names to be
attached to a call for a MASS
MEETING Of the people Of Gilmore
to be held at az early day as con-
venient for the purpose Of organic
ing for self-protection and to take
decisive steps toward accomplish
ing our much desired object.
The Odd Fellows will have a
grand gathering here on the 18th
Of October, and doubtless there will
be people present from every precinct
in Gilmore, therefore the BULLETIN
suggests that such mass meeting
be held at Mountain Home on that
day. 1t is true that late date would
give us but few weeks to work be-
fore election, but generally short
and vigorous fights are the most
effective.
We have conversed with gentle
men from various parts Of Gilmore
and they all assert that notwith
standing the proceedings at thu
Mountain Home impromptu meet
| ing threw q dampcr upon the cause
Of division throughout the inter
ested district, yet they think it il
not too late to refectify the mistake
and they favor such meeting a
