Negro farm hands, men, women and
children, in Tunica and Coahoma counties,
and perhaps others, are on strike.
Mr.. J. b. Henning of this city, who
owns a farm in Coahoma county, received
a telegram from his oyerseer yesterday an
nouncing this fact, and LETT on the evening
train for the scene.
Mr.. Henning was seen by an APrEAL
reporter just before his departure for the
train. He knew little of the extent TO
which the strike had gone, but was under
the impression that il was pretty general,
and spreading. lie had about fifty labor
ers employed, all of whom, the telegram
said, were out. The price paid them
was 20 cents per day, and the strike
was for 81, all hands alike. Mr.. Hen
ming further stated that his information
was TO the effect that his neighbors were
undergoing similar menace. There were
10000 or II, 1000 acres in that belt under
cultivation, all OF which was now at the
mercy Of grass and consequent destruc-
ton unless the planters came TO terms or
could secure laborers TO take the place OF
strikers.
There can be no adequate estimate OF the
disaster to Memphis, and the commercial
world at large, should this strike assume
the promised proportions and include the
Mississippi valley. 1t is pre-eminent-
ly the cotton growing section Of
the world, producing thousands up
on thousands Of bales annually. A
great many Of the plantations are
owned by Memphis parties, and this mar
ket gets the lions share Of the staple. II
may, therefore, be stated that Memphis is
more vitality interested in the situation
than any other city in this part Of the
country.
Although the increase in wages is small
when considered in an individual sense,
rs a whole II means a great deal. In Mr..
Jennings case alone IL amounts TO over
Sl2 per day, while with Others il is vastly
more. As there are yet remaining nearly
three months OF what may be termed the
cultivation season, It will not be difficult
to abstract the situation and determine its
seriousness.

In no country IN the world can wheat
be handled as cheaply a. In California.
During the harvest season there 81 no pos
sibility of rain, and the wheat Is put into
burlap bags and stacked up in the field
until the farmer is ready to ship. When
sent to San francisco 1t lies on the wharf
until ship is ready to take it on board.
No shelter is needed, and there are no
elevator charges, the bags being placed on
board ship just as they came from the
fields. In addition to the profit resulting
from cheap handling, the owner has his
profits considerably increased by the gain
In weight made on the voyage to Liver
pool. When the wheat leaves California
1t is dry as finder, and in exactly the con-
dition to absorb the moisture of the sea
air; and, consequently, on it's arrival in
England q cargo Of wheat will be heavier
by many. thousand pounds than when it
left California Wheat IL never shipped
In bulk, but always In bags, as when
loaded in bulk It Is about the most danger
Gus cargo ship can carry. No matter
how lightly it may be packed at first, it
settles considerably within q short time,
and then is very liable to shift. When
shifting takes place ship is as good as
lost, as the change in the center of gravity
throws her on her beam ends, and she is
nearly certain to 20 to the bottom in the
first moderate gale. Many ships were
lost in this way, and now the shipment of
grain In bulk is prohibited by lava.

A Word to the Public.

For the season of 1888 we have concluded to
dispense with canvassers in the field to great
extent, and the consequent reduction of our ex-
penses will enable us to give customers this
benefit in price all lines of goods handled by us.
Notwithstanding the increase in price in nearly
all machinery over 1884, we shall not make any
advance We have made arrangements for the sale
Of the old standard lines in which we have dealt
for years. We know them to be the best in the
market, and as they have always given satisfac-
ton, we have no desire to handle cheaper and
INFESTED machinery, which is being placed upon
the market, much to the annoyance and loss of
both buyer and seller. There is no satisfaction
in selling, and no profit in buying machine
which is liable to fail when it is most needed
We keep constantly in stock complete line
of extras for all machines handled by us, so that
repairs are never delayed.
Confident Of giving satisfaction, we respectfully
solicit your patronage, and shall be pleased to
see our old patrons and the public generally, at
our office, either in Sank Centre or Belgrade.
Thankful for past favors, and hoping for a
continuance, we are yours,

When to its gracious heart has been contest
The whispered wanderings of n hundred
rils,
Tho river saunters slowly toward the west.
Watched by the rounded, grassy -shouldered
hills.
Close 20 its edge the meadows bask and dream,
All hnzy where the level sunshine lies;
The distant fields seem drinking from the
stream
Grin Tar away it melts in reddening skies.
Slowly, as though reluctant yet TO 20,
The river stops with fringing trees to play.
Or fills some brooks mouth with its hidden
And in a pasture makes shining buy.
Family Il spiashes mid the grass and sedge
That hnlf conceal a fallen sycamore,
But, save murmur al the waters edge,
The evening stiffness br0ods along the shore.
TIL, like vision, dim al first. then clear.
From out the shadowy East raft floats
And as it nears us. soft and sweet, we hear
The toiling raftsmen singing as they row.
Still TO the rhythm of their song they push
The heavy oar from side TO side again,
And breaking through the sunset glow and
hush.
Comes suddenly the ringing, glad refrain:
From up above NO girls No sweet
=, My raft drifts down Up in the Pine
And, oh, my love, say. when you meet
Your sweetheart brown This raft of mine,
Is trael is true I'm truel I'm truei
When they are past, the slowly creaking oar
Still jars the silence that il closing round;
The wrinkled water trembles toward the shore,
And reeds and grasses stir with fantest
sound.
The soft, uncertain, hurried wind OF night.
That rises when the cool gray shadows close,
Skins slowly, with "a backward ripple light
The ruiiied rivers deepening repose
Il strikes the water with dim white line,
or makes its brown breast dappled like a
cloud;
II trails the raftsmen's voices far and fine
Then on sudden brings them clear and
loud.
II holds lingering cadence sweet and far
A line perhaps, or but a word or two
And then let's silence like q mellow bar.
Break off the song until we hear ITO you!"
Mo girls so sweet" The wind conceals the
rest,
Till growing fainter, comes. I'm truel I'm

Then they are lost within the yellow west,
And evening settles with its dust and dew.
