We'll, We Are Happy.

Yes, and proud of it, too. We are in re-
ceipt of another letter from Mr.. Cleveland
acknowledging the receipt of the Suit, Hat
and Shirts ordered of us, and comp. ,ment-
ing us highly upon our selection. The fit
of the suit is perfect, the material of the
best, and made and trimmed even better
than the average merchant tailor will get it
up. Ready made clothing is not of that
slop shop make 1t was years ago; improve
ments are made on it every season, the large
manufacturers North employ the very best
talent to design, AID the most skiliiul me-
chanics to put tine garments together. We
get the bulk of our Clothing Of house that
pays their foreman the salary OF a l.. S.
Senator, but il enables us to guarantee
these goods in every respect not only a. to
the material and trimming, but more par
ticularly the style aud finish and the keep
ing of its shape Our Clothing does not rip
nor lose shape after few weeks wear. We
are beginning to get in some of our Spring
Novelties; they are daisies; come around
and look al them even if YOU are not ready
yet to buy. The balance of our Winter
Clothing we'll let 50 for nee song.

A WARNING FROM TOPEKA
LIBERTY TO THE FRONT.
A Place Where Thrifty, Peace Glowing
People Can Find Homes.


DORCHESTER, GA, March 7.-Editor
Morning Ne'0s: l read with pleasure the
article in one of your papers which stated
the Central railroad was about to organize
all immigration bureau, with the object of
settling immigrants throughout the South.
OF course, Georgia will be first in coDsidera-
ton; and hope Liberty county VIII not be
forgotten. The seeker after a new home
could not be suited better, taking every
thing into consideration, than on the sea
board lands of old Liberty Let me state
briefly a few of this locality's advantages:
First, the settler would have health; sec
ond, lands are very cheap-S2 to 50 an acre
good land that will produce twenty
bushels of corn with little guilty alton and
no fertilizers; third, this section is remark
ably free from disturbances, the people are
abiding, being great church people. In
radius OF five miles we have four Baptist,
two Presbyterian, one Congregationalist
and one Methodist colored) churches, and
one white Presbyterian, which goes to
prove that property is safe, and that
strangers would be unmolested in the pur-
suit of their vacations; fourth, all Southern
crops grow here, and will yield abundantly
if the proper care is bestowed, and as
transportation is close at hand this section
is peculiarly adapted to trucking, and in adj
ulUlpLs hOLS co, C1AIlS, Snetp anu SWllle LuI1Ne
with little or no attention, and above all it
is peculiarly the home of the LeConte pear
1t will grow and yield here as it does no
where else. As l stand in my store door
and look over the village | see numerous
orchards, beautiful with their snowy
blooms, reminding me of the trees of the
North in winter, laden with snow and
worth a ride of thousand miles to see,n
as gentleman remarked recently.
ItN in tl,n -
this section is its distance from the abroad,
but then we will not mind that, for in the
near future we expect to have river trans
portation by steam, which will give us a
comfortable way to Savannah and an expe-
ditious and easy way to ship our melons
and pears. When we get the steamboat |
am confident our country will build up. [
hope the work of the bureau will be sue
cessful beyond expectation, and that
the waste places of Georgia will soon be oc-
cupied by thrifty, good and intelligent
people. z. w. p. W.

ARrHUR'S FIGHT.
The Hearing Of the Case in Court
POSTPONED.

I CHICAGO, March 9.--All the court pro
ceedings by the Burlington railroad against
Chief Arthur and the Wabash railroad
were brought to a sudden halt by Judge
Gresham this afternoon He announced
that the whole matter had been postponed
until Monday. The reason for the delay is
ostensibly to give the attorneys for the
Wabash time to prepare an answer, but the
Burlington company did not particularly
oppose the postponement.
AN ORDER FROM A COURT.
dispatch received at the headquarters
OF the Burlington system in Chicago this
afternoon from the General Manager of the
Burlington and Missouri railroad at Omaha,
SAYS; Judge Dundy, of the United States
Court, has this day issued an order requir
ing the Union Pacific Railway Company to
take our business in accordance w,th the
interstate commerce law, and restraining
the engineers Of the Union Pacific Company
from refusing to take our business; also re-
stralElng the engineers from striking, com
bining or confederating for the purpose of
organization or advising strike"
TOO voLUMINoUs TO READ.
To an Associated Press reporter Judge
Gresham explained that Robert T. Lincoln,
counsel for the Wabash Company,
had said he had been in con-
sutation all the morning with Receiver
McNulty endeavoring to wade through
the mass of documents filed by the Burning
ton road and prepare a suitable answer.
They had found it impossible in so short
time, they said Judge Gresham, therefore,
in the absence of any serious opposition t.
delay by the Burlington road, decided to let
the whole matter wait until Monday.
LIFE AND DEATH STRUGGLE.
Chief Arthur has issued another state
ment presenting the strikers side of the
case, in which this paragraph occurs: The
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and Firemen are now engaged in
life and death struggle. War has
been declared between them and
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail
road. The Brotherhood cannot recede from
their demands on the wage question and
maintain their sef-respect or their organi-
cation. They must win or die. They can
only respect the claims of neUtrals as long
as they remain neutral. They must and
will exhaust every honorable means to win
the fight"

The Columbus and Western Railroad
Company has been enjoined at Leeds, by the

from crossing certain lands of that company.
1t is reliably stated that work on the
Rome and Decatur railroad will be finished
within the next two months.
President George T. Fry, of the Atlanta,
Atlantic and Great Western railroad. writ
ing to the MORNING NEWS, says that the
meeting at Louisville last Tuesday was a
decided success, and $50. 900 stock was sub
scribed at once. The people said they
were determined to raise sufficient subscrip-
lions to induce the road to come that way.
Col. Fry adds that Messrs. j. C.. Little, DIR.
Wright w. L. Phillips and Mr. Harrell are
taking lively interest i'll the road, and its
prospects are Frightening every day.
Americas is iubilant over the CentraPs
proposition to build an airline from Savan-
nah to that point. The Recorder says Of
the proposed line that it offers two great
advantages: 1t is short and direct line,
does not interfere with business over the
old line, gives the Central two separate
lines from Columbus TO Savannah and oc-
cupies new territory in such a manner as
VIII prevent any rival line of road for many
years 1t runs through a rich and heavily
timbered country, which must in itself give
it a large traffic In lumber and naval stores.
The distance between Columbus and Savan-
nah by the Americas line will be about 235
miles, while by the old line it is 292 miles, a
saving Of 81 miles by the new route.
The Northeastern RdiLrOdder estimates
the new railroad building to be done in the
Northwest during 1888 at 400 miles, made
up of twenty nine different lines. 1t gives
list of over 100 lines projected and sur
veyed in the Northwest, aggregating more
than 1000 miles and classifies them accord
ing to their probability of construction.
Twenty mine roads, aggregating 400 miles
will probably be built in 1888. Fifty more,
aggregating nearly 5000 miles, will be built
in the next five years, and $500 of that in
the next three. The figures do not include
construction in Nebraska, Wyoming, South
ern and Eastern Iowa and Northern Hi
nois, but it only covers the track to be laid
on the roads radiating west of st. Paul and
Minneapolis. The largest builder will be
the Manitoba system, as last year, which
will build 400 miles. Continuing it's figures
of the cost of the rate war to the railroad
companies, the Northwestern RdiIrodder
estimates that up to date the companies
affected have lost 81, $50, 000 In four weeks
