Hewlett S, VA. September 2.-The
farmers are busy following. pulling
fodder, ana saving the second crop of hay
during this spell of good weather. The
last heavy rain. some weeks ago. helped
the corn crop very much. but the yield
viii scarcely be up To the average. The
tobacco crop is almost a complete
failure.
Mr. Lindsay Terrell. a well-known
citizen and farmer of Caroline county,
told me lately that he counted 400

over forty bushels per fcre. This speaks
well for the soil IN this section. and

THE NICIIGANDEK."

The Third district Of Louisiana has
been made a missionary field for Re-
publican patriots TO furnish moral
pocket handkerchiefs with embroidered
iIluminatons of Eliza Pinkston polite.
Hon. julius Caesar Burrows, great
Michigander, is to be the missionary of
the &. o. r., and teach the colored ma
jority of the Third district of Louisiana
how TO assert the great patent idea of
the &. o. p. that colered census ma.
jority means Republican majority at
the polls whether the vote is polled or
not.
That is the encouragement that Julius
Caesar Burrows, Michigander, proposes
to give to the South as a preliminary
movement to get Federal supervisor
bill passed by the new Congress.
When the Southern people are to be
taught politics by this clown statesman,
and he tries hi. school of craftsmanship
on the colored voter. of course We know
the specific gravity of the deal.
He wants to organize Southern poll
tics on the Bill Chandler, John Sher-
man, Danville massacre plan ard get
grist for the outrage mill.
Mr. julius Cesar Burrows, Michi
gauder. Is G. 0. r. fraud circusclowD.
and his patent medicine advertisement
for a great poll ical missionary service
IN the South. is no more than the stories
of newly discovered nostrums with pic
lures of natives gathering the leaves
and boiling the same in some remote
island
Mr. julius Caesar Burrows may 90
into the Third district of Louisiana and
get out pateut medicine circulars about
how he found the colored natives ana
redeemed them. and he may boom the
bill for Federal supervisors IN order TO
rescue the natives with a G. O i. al
vertisement; but after all Mr.. J. c. b..
MichigaDder. will be discovered as a
fraud. and his excursion will only be
known as so much lost Doodle to the
pirate kings
