TRIP TO EXPERIMENTAL Farm.

On the last Thursday in June, at
the solicitation of our children we
carried them to the Experimental
Farm at Calhoun. AT the depot, here,
we noticed quite crowd of our peo-
pie from Rayville and also from the
surrounding country. Not as many,
however, as We had on the last
Thursday in April. The railroad
officials, not contemplating an I'M
usual crowd, did not put on enough
coaches to accommodate the passen-
gers, though no blame can be attached
to them as they cannot estimate how
many will 60. How would it do to
require those who expect to 90 to
purchase their tickets on the day be-
fore SO that the different agents could
notify the railroad officials in time to
put sufficient coaches on for the ac-
commodation Of those who 60?
There was considerable delay, the
cause of which we did not ascertain.
andit was II IN. before we arrived at
the farm.
Mr.. Maxwell was the first to read
an address upon the improvements on
agriculture. After he had concluded,
Ex-Gov. McEnery addressed the
crowd assembled under the large
walnut tree near the Experimental
farm house, on the north of which was
a stand and arbor without brush) to
shield the multitude from the scorch-
ing rays of the sun. If not too Of
fcious, we would suggest to the man
ayers that it would be we'll to throw
a few green bushes over the arbor be-
fore the next meeting. The Gov
srnors address was both interesting
and instructive, and we heard many
express themselves as highly pleased
With it and considered it very able
address. The Governor did not look

". III. CONTENTION.

The Womans' Missionary convention
met in Delhi Friday, July 9th instant,
and with such Cody body Of women
as seldom falls to the lot of mortals to
commune with. The president, Mrs.
Z. J. Fullilove, Of Kechi, is one Of the
loveliest Of christian characters, and q
perfect well-spring of eloquence, with
an administrative ability wonderful
in its comprehensiveness. Their an
nual address will be published in the
N. O. Christian Advocate. Miss
Paxson, also of Kechi, who was State
secretary, conducted her part of the
proceedings in a very correct and
business like manner. Mrs. Parker,
of Baton Rouge, and Mrs. Foster, Of
Shreveport, should be mentioned as
earnest workers in missions.
The memorial service was very
touching. Mrs. Sallie L. Hester, as
chairman OF that committee, read a
beautiful memoir to Miss Chariot
Chrisman, who was lost in the Johns
town food, and at night several others
read memoirs as full Of feeling and
pathos.
Sunday evening Juvenile society
was organized with twenty-five MEM
bers. All the children seemed in
terested. Misses Minnie Thomson and
Emma Dollerhide were elected as
lady managers.
There was collection taken on
Sunday night which amounted to 500.
During the year S1333.74 had been
raised by the ". NJ. S. of La. The
whole meeting was conducted with
such order, dignity and precision as
to render it most delightful to be
locker On.
Please pardon the neglect of not
mentioning in the beginning, that the
convention was extended a welcome
by Miss Minnie Thomson in q short
but eloquent address, which was re-
sponded to by Miss Paxson, J. S.
The Delhi Missionary Society is
presided over by Miss Kate Thomson,
who makes a most efficient officer.
Our town has enjoyed rare treat in
the meeting Of the W.M.convention.

pear before the people.
One Of the Mr.. Calhouns went
around over the field and explained
the different experiments. We regret
not knowing his mission until he was
half over, and consequently cannot
give an intelligent report Of the many
and varied experiments. We We're
struck with two or three things
though: FIRST, it seems to us that the
experiments are too numerous and
the ground allotted to each too small.
From observation we We're led to be-
iieve that cotton seed meal and cow
pen fertilizers is about the best ferti-
IiZer Of any other. As to the amount
of aikal, ammonia, potash, soda, lime,
magnesia, stroutia, basyta, called the
alkaline earth, lithia, phosphite and
every name thought of, the average
farmer knows or cares very little
about. We are not an advocate of
lime or salt for feriiliz;ng. Tell the
farmer to save that which is thrown
away about the cow-pens; in the fall,
while the cotton seed are green, throw
a load of seed down, then one or two
loads Of cow-pen manure, and so on
till you have a pen ten feet high, in
the spring open your burrows as deep
as possible and put this compost in
the bottom Of the furrow, plant on it,
and our word for it, you will make
cotton or corn either. Mr.. Calhoun
explained the reason why some cotton
with the same fertilizer showed diff
ferent result. Said he: an these
three rows the furrow was not very
deep where the fertilizer was placed;
these three rows here, the fertilizer
was put very deep in the ground.
This, gentlemen, shows whether it is
better to fertilize near tie surface or
deep in the ground" The fertilizers
placed deep in the ground showed
much the better result.
The corn, where there was a stand,
looked very well, though rather small
compared with our section.

PETER PARAGRAPH.
Richland beacon., 1889-07-13

The a.!-absorbiuS subject seems to
be the great flight between JOHN L.
Sullivan, the champion pngilist of the
world, and Jake Kilrain, who had the
hardihood, if not the strength, to
stand before the Boston man; notwith-
standing Kilain whipped jim Smith,
the champion Of England, he could
not stand before Sullivan long, or
he did not want to stand, as it is said
lie wanted to give it up after the third
round, but his hackers spurred him
up until they fought seventy-fvc
rounds, when the poor fellow was so
terribly punished that he could not
come to time, but wanted it decided
draw, but Sullivan, who was said to
be a. fresh almost as when he entered
the ring, would not consent and the
battle was decided in Sulliyan's
favor.
They fought at Rich's sawmill
(Richburg), in Miss, between New
Orleans and Meridian. 1t is said that
Kilrain wanted to give up the fight
at the close of the third round. He
said to his hacker: Charlie, I'm
Knocked out" Charlie Mitchell was
thunderstruck and braced Kilrain up
by referring to his wife and little ones
at home.
The fight should have closed then.
Kilrain should have been his own
judge, then he would not have been
SO badly beaten.

We were amused, some time ago, at
the presumption of a l5-year old
clerk in watch repairing store. We
enquired of him as to whether he had
any of the Hawkes. lenses? He said,
"no, sir, but we have better" We
informed him that we were not looking
for better; that we did not desire any
better; that We had been using spec
tacles for nearly ten years and never
found anything so cooling to the eye
as the Hawkes. glasses. Ofcourse the
certificates of Ex-Gov. McEnery, of
Louisiana, and Gov. Gordon, of Geor-
gia, were nothing compared with the
long experience Of this fifteen year
old boy.

"A BHCT.iL EXHIBITION.

The great Sul!ivan-Kilrain fight has
taken place, and Sullivan is the victor

gectcd, and the boastly side of man ;
nature was satisfied.

ianans that our own soil Was not dis
gracod as Tie scene fsuch an occasion.

Editor OF tie EIcHLAND BEACON,
Mr.. Editor:-l took the liberty Of
writing to you lest wcel; with the
request that YOU copy my letter on a
reform Of the judiciary, from the
T'mes-Demccrat Of 2}d Of June, into
your paper. again have a request
to make OF yon. Under the head of
Letter From tie People" in Times
Democrat OF June 3G,h, some lawyer
Of New Orleans has attempted to an
swer my letter. From q lawyers
STANDPOINT, no doubt, lie has demol-
;shed me. view the subject purely
i'll an economical aspect. We have 50
much revenue and 50 much expenses
the former falling short of the latter
annually. What are we to do to meet
this annual deficiency in our revenues?
Obviously only one Of two things:
Decrease expenses, or increase the
rate Of taxation. On looking over the
field find only one branch Of the
State government that viii bear
reduction of expenses, without des-
troying its efficiency. To-wit: The
Judiciary. We cannot cut salaries Of
State officers, they are too small now.
We cannot lessen the appropriation
for interest on the State debt. We
cannot appropriate less to the levees
of the State. We cannot appropriate
less than-SS0,000-to the insane
asylum, it is too little now. We can
not give the Charity Hospital less
than-&40,000,-it is too little. The
same is tue of The hospital at Shreve-
port and Alexandria, and also Of the
appropriation for the blind asylum,
the State University and Normal
school, and the colored university.
Every one Of these institutions require
more instead OF less money. What
are we then to do to make this annual |
deficiency? We must either abolish |
some Of the surplus judgshirs, or in
crease the rate Of taxation from six to |
seven mills. Can the people stand |
any higher rate of taxation? / think |
not. The farmers are barely making
a living. This also applies to the
working people in the towns and |
cities; they hardly make enough to
pay for the most economical food and |
Come to my rescue with the in
fuence of your paper. Read tie let
ter of Lex and reply to it. If any |
other branch of the State government
Will bear a reduction, demand it. Self,
respect, State pride and honesty die
tate that We adopt some financial
system that will place our State credit
above reproach. We have now been
dragging along for ten years with
yearly deficiency in our revenue. 1t
is time to call halt and adjust our
States expenses to the revenues Of
the State. Yours truly,

pensities into the glorious light and
liberty Of a redeemed world.

Annie Wells is assisting Miss Maggie
Brumby in the postofiice for a few

Mr.. John P. Richardson, the largest
cotton planter in the world, came

pants made by his own mills, when
his attention was called to a few
splashes of mud upon them, he re-
marked 81 could afford to have them
soiled little now as I have been
wearing them for three years." 1t
was with pride and delight we lis
tened to him while sitting in the store
OF our worthy Mayor, giving his plans
and intentions of turning one of his
farms, near here, into a stock farm
and of stocking it with the most i'm
proved thoroughbred stock. The ex-
ample and advice of such a successful
millionaire should be closely observed
by our young men.
Mr.. Gibson has another fine boy at
his house; he seems ali smiles in conse-
quence of its coming.
We had the pleasure of seeing, on
the streets of town this week, that
genial and elegant gentleman, Mr..
Ed. Goodwill, who lives on the Her.
mitage place, six miles below town.
He has several hundred acres in cul-
tivation with promise of good har-
vest.
Mr.. J. NJ. N. Allen has gone to New
Orleans on a visit to his family, of
whom he has the lovliest, both lady
and little son. that any one could
imagine.
We have searched our mind in
vain for some appropriate paragraph
of that cultured gentleman, our worthy
druggist, Mr.. E. W. Thomson. We
simply deem him unreproachable, and
