The darkies here in Mississippi do
work hard. They get out very early
in the morning, even before daylight,
steal ten or twelve pounds of cotton
lint out of the pen, that they had
picked and received pay for the day
before, cram it in their cotton bag and
pick their best while the lint is wet

every plan to beat their employer.
They even steal the pea that they
weigh with and gouge the lead out OF
it and replace it in its proper place.
The whites know they do these things
and Of course watch them.

breakfast about ten and supper after

A STRONG ARGUMENT AGAINST
STATEHOOD
Editor, Sierra County ADVOCATE,
Hillsboro, N. NJ. d.

| Hillsboro, N. NJ.
DEAR Sir
We purchased, in 1887, $50, 600
OF New MEXICO 1erritory 6 percent
bonds, interest payable annually on
the list day of May, eacn year, at
the First National Bank, New York
City. Last year, when the coupons
became due, they were duly pre-
sented at the place of payment,
and were returned with the state
ment that there were no funds on
hand to pay them. After consider
able telegraphing and correspond
ing, we succeeded in getting them
paid. This year the coupons were
again sent to New York for pay
ment and were returned with the
same statement. We have CORE
sponded with the officials and as
yet have received no satisfaction.
The coupons are now in our posses
sion awaiting the transfer of funds
to the First National Bank, New
York City, to meet them. We are
very much surprised that a Terri
tory with the resources OF New
Mexico, looking forward as she
does, to admission as a state, should
be SO negligent and apparently care
80 little for her credit, as shown by
the action of her officials ia this
matter.
We quote the following from a
law recently passed IN one of the
Eastern States, permitting savings
banks to invest in city and county
bonds.
Provided no such city OF county has
within ten years previous to max
ing such investment by any such
Sayings Institution OF this state,
ndefaulted in the payment OF any
'part of either principal or inter-
'est oi any debt authorized by law
"of such sta.e TO be contracted"
In allowing n matter Of this kind
to 60 to default, not only the credit
IF the Territory is impaired, but
he credit of every county and city
u the Territory is seriously in
ured. Investors are very careful
lbout investing where it is known
hat bonded obligations are allowed
o go to default through careless
Tess or lack of interest on the
,art Of the officials, as seems to be
he case with the Territory of New
dexico. I
Knowing that you have person
/ interest in the welfare and pros
,erity of the Territory, we take the
liberty of writing thus fully, trust {
ng that you will use your influence
n securing the prompt payment of Z
he obligations of your Territory. q

Someth ng made ofrothing, tasting very sweet;
most delicious compound, With ingredients
complete;
But-if, as on occasions, the heart and mind are
sour,
1t has no great significance, it loses half IT'S
power.
Something made of nothing and never twice
the same,
Though 'tis known IN every country where love
has had name:
i is clearly meant for giving, though tbs some
times bought and sold.
And. like coffee and potatoes, is not SO good
when cold.
1t oft appeases discord. when words have failed
10 please.
Whether bestowed carelessly or given just to
tease;
For laugh will often save one from dong
something worse,
And the lips that taste this sweetness are sell
dom heard to curse.
IT'S the strangest, oddest mixture, this some
thing made of naught,
Which is never seen nor handled, although It's
often caught;
Which will not spoil In keeping whatever be
the cline.
For this something made of nothing VIII stand
the test of time.

The fanciod security from Indian depreciation in which the psopls sf this section rested has been ruGsly dispelles by a mast ravolting murder of white man by sn inhuman red brute.
 Shortly after 8 o'clock last night three tsamstors, R. A. Smith, j. II. Marvin and |. D. Smithson who had left Globe in the afternoon, returned bringing the startling news of the killing of teRmster, namsa Costsr. by an Indian. The facts as learned are as fellows: About sundown as eight coke outfits, ss route to Glehe, were teihng along the road three miles west of Gilsoas wells, and nine miles east of Globe, two Isdiaas, one on foot aMd one riding fst sorrel mare, who had been lowering about the teams nearly all day, approached Cos ter's wagons, winch were about tEo middle onas of the outfits, and the in- dian riding. without the slightest warning, and whea within fifteen feet of Costsr, ralsed his rifle and fired, the ball striking Coster in tsa back and passing through the body, killing him almost instantly. Simultaneous with the shooting the Indian on fool ran up and snatched rifle from the holster hanging on the foetboard of Casters wagon, and both Indians then fed, gong nerth. The seven teamstars with Cester were so completely taken by surprise that they allowed the h. dians to escape, without attempting pursuit, although two shots were fired after them.
 Smith, Marvin and Smitkson were several hundred yards distant from the scene of the murder when it oc- cured, near enough to distinctly hear ! the shots. When they arrived on the ground they viewed Coster's body and cenvsrsed with his companions. They assert that there was NO provocation whatever for the deed, and 1t IS the general belief that they killed Coster solely for the purpose of securing hls gun. Coster was from Texas and had a wife and child at Wilcox, Ariz
 Justice Atkins, acting Coroner, Dc. putty Sheriff Ryan and a number ol Globe men left late last night fer tue scene of the murder, to hold an in quest. Cester's body will be brought to Globe to day.

The ledge at that psint is ten feet wide and the pay streak almost solid mineral-about fourteen inches wide.
