A LETTER FROM FARMER WHITE.

DEAR LEADER:-We have county pa
per and why not let each other know
through it, what is the prospect for feed
ing the hungry and clothing the nakedi
In North Lincoln it is not flattering Oats
are failure and all other crops smaller
than l ever saw for the time of year-too
dry and cold. Have not had a good sea-
son of rain since the last of March. Now
/ want to tell you all what bonanza
struck in the truck business. On a close
calculation made 20 cents on radishes,
$500 on beans, to say nothing about fer
tilizers. As for English peas, l don't
think / shall ever like them again, for
every time / would 20 to eat them
would be thinking about cutting brush
and sticking them, and the $3.50 for seed
aud fertilizer aud mary red" realized.
l was to give the little children bit
bushel to gather, aud my little girl out of
her money was going to get set of ear
bobs and lOcket. In the morning the
cucumbers come up and watermelons
take their place. You see was trying
to work out of cotton, but there is one
thing | can challenge Lincoln county to
beat Inc Gilmore hogs and heas; so if
there are any mistakes y0n must charge
it all to the tleas. If | can make corn and
pinders to fatten the hogs on l will be
all right and the fleas | will turn out on
the range. tell my people the two nat
urally go together, and had rather take
them mixed than go to st. Louis for meat.
Lucky for the editor, run my time up
to November. | am at loss about my
preserves and jelly. l have the sugar,
but the cold killed all my fruit. Wonder
if my friends north will not ship INC fruit
as cheap as l did them vegetables
Up to the 9th of this month could say
what few could of my age-Father and
Mother both living; but now l have no
father. He leaves ~ children out of II.
If he had lived to see the 4th day of July,
he would have been e2 years old. His
offspring run up to nearly 100.
say again let's hear from other por-
tionS of the county. | know the editor
will gladly publish.
l.. II. WHITE.
The LEADER would say in this con-
nection that 1t would like very much to
have occasional letters on the crops and
other matters of local interest from its
patrons IN all portions of the county and
will gladly give them place in its
columns
The Brookhaven leader., 1888-05-31

One of our Lincoln truck farmers read
the paragraph in last weeks LEADER
about Congressman Bill Martin, of Texas,
blowing his nose between his thumb and
finger and making a noise like fog horn,
and when he drove out of BrOokhaven.
said truck farmer tried the experiment
himself aud made such noise he fright
ened his team and like TO have had a
run away.
1t looked decidedly cyclonish awhile
last Thursday. A dark cloud and heavy
wind swooped down on the town from
the northwest, raising a binding dust
and causing many people to think their
houses would go next. Fortunately,
there was moro fright than damage, but
the roofing of some of our stores suffered
slightly, notably those of Messrs Prize
batsch and McGrath.

Mr.. Mack Tyler, a brother-in-law Of
Postmaster Tyler of Brookhaven, died at
his home near Topisaw last Sunday after
protracted illness. He was buried on
Monday with Masonic honors, Tylertown,
Pine, Fair River and Bogue Chittc
Lodges participating. The funeral ser.
mon was preached by Rev. J. r. Boone,
and the attendance at the funeral was
one of the largest ever witnessed in the
county, thus evincing the high esteem in
which the deceased was held by all who
knew him.

Don't ExDeriment.

You cannot afford to waste time in ex-
perimenting when your lungs are in dan
ger. Consumption always seems at first
only a cold. Do not permit any dealer
to impose upon you with some cheap inn
itation of DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds, but be
sure you get the genuine. Because he
can make more profit he may tell you he
has something just as good, or just the
same. Don't be deceived, but insist mp
on getting DR.. Kings New Discovery,
which is guaranteedtO give relief in all
Throat, Lung and Chest affections. Trial

Sometimes fails of its murderous intent.
The insidious and dastardly attacks made up
on the reputation of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters by persons who seek to palm off cheap
and fiery tonics as identical with it, or "the
same thing under another name, - or ''equal-
ly as good" in most instances react disas.
trously upon the unprincipled traders upon
popular credulity who attempt them, convert
Ing their speculations into ruinous failures.
The Bitters is pure, wholesome and thor
ough medicine, adapted to the total cure and
tent, dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness,
debility, nervousness and kidney troubles.
Its every ingredient, unlike those in the imi-
tations Of it., is of an ascertained standard of
excellence, and while they, by reason of their
fiery properties, react injuriously upon the
brain and nervous system, Of both those or
gans it is q sedatiye and invigorant. Refuse
all these harmful limitations.

Wesson Baptist Church, and the Organi-
cation was conducted by that veteran
Sunday school worker, +. Il. Carlos, oI
jackson, one of the vice-presidents OF

supervise this work. Au appropriate adj
dress of welcome on behalf of the people
of Wesson was delivered by Mr.. $. p.
Bloom of Wesson, and responded to by
Rev. NJ. X. Thornton of Clinton.
That interchangeable worker in every
good cause DR.. f. A. Rowan, was elect
| ed President Mr.. Barber, of Gallman,

nouncement made.
As is always the case. the hospitality OF
the Wesson people a5ounded, and the
only trouble was, there were not guests
enough to go round. 1t was the good
fortune of the writer to share the elegant
and generous hospitality of DR.. Luther

ed wife, and nowhere could he have been
made to feel more at home.
The town of Wesson is on substantial
boom. The extensive addition to the

litical upheaval, having repented in sack
cloth misplacing the republican party from

November election majority as collosal
as that given to James G. Blaine. The al
lusion to Blaine provoked applause. Peter
Hanson Of Meller county was elected tenn
orary secretary and E. s. Wheelock Of
Dodge assistant secretary. After the ap-
p0intment of the usual committees the
convention took recess until 2 o'clock.
Reassembling at 2o'clock the convention
adopted the report of the committee on

WASHINGTON W.4IFs.

The secretary of the interior to-day rem
dered an important decision in the timber
culture contest case of James Linderman
of the Tracy land district against Amelia
Wait, on appeal from the decision of the
commissioner of the general land Office.
The timber culture act of June IA, 1873, re-
quires the entryman to plant and keep in
growing condition for eight years two and
a half acres of timber on each forty acres
of land entered. The evidence in this
case shows that eighty acres were entered
and less than three acres OF trees had been
planted. The secretary grants the de-
fendant thirty days in which to amend her
entry by relinQuishing one-half of it, and
allows the amended entry for the remain
ing forty acres to stand. Under former
rulings the whole entry would have been
cancelled.

With Colonel Plummer Four
Time Winner.

JAMESTOWN, OAK, May 15.-Over 200
delegates representing thirty-three repub-
lican clubs of the territory assembled in
convention here this morning. l.. A. Rose
of Fargo called the meeting to order and
G. A. Vanwormer of Barnes county was
made temporary chairman and created
some discussion by declaring that the re-
publicans should favor prohibition. E. w.
Caldwell of Sioux Falls was elected per-
manent chairman. Colonel Plummer ex-
cited much enthusiasm by an eloquent
speech advocating BlaiDe. ABB. Guptill of
Fargo was chosen president of the terrific
rial league and the vice-presidents for
South, Central and North Dakota are as
follows: G. E. Hayward, George A. Sils-
bury and f. A. Leavenworth. For treas
urer, w. II. Ellis, Oakes. The executive
committee is composed of one member
from each county. The resolutions
arraign the democrats for keeping Dakota
out of the union and declare that revision
of the tariff should be entrusted to the re-
publican party rather than to its avowed
enemies. The convention tomorrow will
be lively. Colonel Plummer will probably
be elected delegate-at-large. The Central
Dakota men oppose Moody Of Deadwood
Hansbrough's friends claim that he will
have the largest vote Of any North Dakota
man.
