DEAR EE:coy: the Conemongh
disaster aul the Cioain murder
case excitement has expended itself,
and the public mind has become
quite serene, concluded j; would be
nothing a.niss to giyc frw dots from
he 3rd ward. Now under tutorship /
Of the 9Th. We have no more to Re
port the tayace@ Of disastrous over
Hnws.
No calling on Uncle Sam forrations,
but on the other hand, since the t.
5. government made appropriations
(Which was Justly incumberent on
her 10 DO, having, during the war,
GU, our lcyees and broke up our in
.i.tujions) no necessity for rations, for
every man, with proper industry can
make his OWN grub. see 10 reason
why We should not be a prosperous
and happy people; that Is, if prosperl-
ty will bring about true happiness, all
of which We have our doubts; great
many people cant stand prosperity,
but We will risk it.
There are no loafcrs or tramps Ill
our beat, every individual, both white
and colored, are busily employed,
working cheerfully and with vim
unsurpassed in the annals Of free
dom"
Everything goes merily along keep
ing time with former duty, which
/; shows contentlnent, and laboring for
a reward in the future. Crops are
, fne-in good condition. Corn all
, worked out last time-layed by. Cot
, ton doing well, good stand, which
insure a full crop. Rather too much
: ram for fiat lands, but as the crops
/ are in such fine condition and so well
, cultivated up to time of the setting
$ in of the rains we could afford to
|. stand Il few days of wet weather.
n We never had a better outlook for
r the future so far as crops are con
t cerned. a good full crop Of corn,
e peas, potatoes and sorghum will truly
make us Independent, and place us
i on the high-road to prosperity, say
,e nothing of the cotton, but corn, pea.
n and potatoe crops naturally results ii
e fat horses, mules, cattle and hogs
, Give us plenty of good strong team
with butter, fat hogs and hominy ant
we will be as happy as a bug In
Sc rug.
5e We will know what kind of mea
er we are eating, what sort Of stuff W
We put in our biscuits. The good Lor'
