How One 4 rmrd vouissaninn is Followed
 by His Lucky Star.

Joe l.. Poncsire is well known in the uprer ccast country, throughout St. John the Baptist, where his parents reside; the city of Baton Rouge, where he is known about town as one cf tic iivcl:est occasional visitors to the Capi- tol City. and throughout the parish of West Baton Rouge, where he has been engaged as an overseer Of rice and sugar plantations for the past ten years. Everybody knows Joe. and he is unusually popular at his home. Rose dale station, on the Texas and Pacific railroad
 When quite . lad Joe was unfortu- nate in getting his left arm caught in |, ny-wheel of Il sugar-huuse, and the limb had to be amputated. Such an accident would have, kept in the back ground many person of less daring and vim than is possessed by Joe. ln- stead of hindering Joe in ihe battle of life, his lucky star seems to have dawn ed from that time. He was given work by Mir. J. Nj. Holloway, a well-to- do and prominent planter of West Ba- ton Rouge, and in n few years Joe was worth sl0 ,000, made by close application to farm work.
 NVI'lttt lViiNdtlt. ds the boys ROW call him, proposed to Mir. Phillip Lacoste, clerk in ]. E. Bargas' country store at Rosedale. to .'go in with him and strike the Louisiana State Lottery Company"

 Wha, Gan Be Done With the Cotton
 Stalks.
 Yesterday afternoon as the invita- tien of Mai. juo ]. IIoInor, the report CT visited the osIica of that gentleman to book al some specimens of material that had been manufactured from cot. toa stalks. Capt j C Bgrow, Mir. " * Short, Esq. | T. lla,grayes and a number of other gentlemen were pres ent whn can testify 10 the uuth of the statements to bo made in this brief iio' tlce, if any oi our readers are ii,clii.ed to think We are drawing on our imagi- nation. Last December Mr. Net iior- nor got a number oi cotton stalks. weight ton pounds, and they we're ship ped by Major liornor tu Il factory In New York for the purpose of having them subjected to the processes ot man ufactufe used with flax and hemp With View to aseertainius whether he was correct in believing the cotton stalks could be utilized by our farmers and made valuable as a marketable com Inodity, instead Of being burned or plowed under every season. The arti- cles shown us yesterday evening by Maj. .lornor were the result of this eA- pertinent. X table in his office was covered with about twenty different grades of tbrous material, from coarse dark strands ol the stalk, to Il fine glos- ss fibre as soft and beautiful as silk. The material of which the stalk is com posed was here exhibited in every ceil- ceiyable form, and to say that 1t was ;s wonderful sight, expresses IL mildly. Parties are now engaged in pertecting a machine to spin th,s material, and when this is accomplished We may ex- pect the erection of mlls in our mids { for the purpose of manufacturing cloth out ot cotton stalks. There is nn doubt bat the fibre of the stalk Is sufficient ly strong and fine to make hagging US well as cloth that will eqass liuen. These specimens will be loarcd bs Major uurnur to the Fair X ssocia' ton, and Capt. j (, Barlow will hay. them placed in show case and will l select Il prominent place Tor them among the important and attractive exhibits at the jcoming fair. This Is n matter in which every cotton raisel is interested and we predict that this one exhibit will. prove to be one ot ths best cards of the flair. Farmers. don { fail to come in and see it. You will b.. surprised, interested and pleased | We neglected to state that this worh was done by new electric process consuming about six hours, which i' quite an improvement over the ole plan of placing the stuff in vats ane letting 1t TO, beforeit could be work. d
 Helena World.

nELrxAs coon SCHEME.
The citizens of Helena ha,

The citizens of Helena have hit upon plan of liberal dealing with manufacturers. to which We would in- vite the attention of the Commercial Association of Memphis. They have organized an improvement association and every citizen wiio joins is required to pledge himself by subscription to pay a certain stun of money. based upon the assessed valuation of his property in the city. as a bonus to those who establish manufactures. The scheme is fathered by the Chamber of Cem- merce of Helena. We are not pre-. pared to say that this is tbe best plan for tiie encouragement of the mann featuring interest in Memphis, but cite it to show tho progressive spirit that dominates a neighhoring city. It is time for Memphis to be up and de- ing when the cities and towns around about US are putting forth such efforts to increase thcir business and popGla- tion. Memphis should bc a leader in these movements. It should set the example The Helena experiment will be watched with Il great deal of inter est. ard if it should succeed we have no doubt that many other cities of the South will try tle same plan. Nothing could Iaore cmp'iatically assert a gcnr- inc spirit of enterprise. for nothing talks like money Appeal.

HE SENT EIGHTY MILES FOR IT.

Milo Page, of San Bernardino, Cal. on Sept 9. writes as follows:
 In 1858 was taken with bilious col ,c, being then seventeen years old Yearly attacks followed. and at length they became more frequent.
 While prostrated by a severe attack friend induced me to take Il large dose of Walkers Vinegar Bitters. old Style, probably four wine glasses full In less than half an hour 1 was free from pain l followed this Up with three wine-glasses Il day--one. half an hour before each meal-until used up the bottle.
 For over seven years was perfectly free from bilious collie, but in the fall of '79 l was engaged in mining in Ne vada, and the coarse food ate brought on Il sharp attack. 1 was far from any drug store, but l despatched q courier eighty miles for Il bottle of Vinegar Bitters.
 When he returned 1 WAS unable to speak, but put the bottle to my lips, took two swallows. and ill twenty minutes the pain left me. Finished tie bottle as before, taking three doses daily, and for nine years aiterward was perfectly free from the dreaded disease.
 A month ago it returned. but trying he old remedy, Vinegar Bittels, was cured. as before.
 l write this because you do not eS. pecially recommend Vinegar Bitters for bilious collie. Only those who have suffered the agonies of this disease, car understand N hat boon a sure cure is and in Old Style Vinegar Bitters you have the best, and perhaps the only real remedy known.
 In reply to Mr. Page we will say that Vinegar Bitters cures hundreds oi diseases, we have not the space 10 eat alogue them, and perhaps if we pub lished them those unaequainted by eX perience with our valuable remedy might doubt it's efficacy still, as st many worthless preparations are tIlrus' on the market, and puifed in so many extravagant ways.
 The fact remains, however, tlbal those who have been accustomed to talk, Vinegar Bitters for any length of time are hale and hearty, whether they ar, young or old Those who doubt an, fail to take it. are likely to fall into al manner of ailments, great and small Vinegar Bitters, both Old and New Styles. keep those who take them fresh fair, healthy and young docking, an' when We once gain a customer, w keep them always, like Mir. Page, whl sent eighty miles for Vinegar Ritters and it was almost 3 ride for life.

WHITE LABOR FOR ARKANSAS.

For the information of those who think Woodruff county is not in eirn- est about securing white instead of black labor. We will state that between three and four hundred persons have already arrived in the county, with about ame hundred more to arrive in- side of two weeks: and. from the WAY those who have arrived have gone to work. We judge that they came here with the hope of beltering their condi- liun. which they are sure to do. Be- sides those who have been directly in- lnced to come here by the work uf the immigration society, nearly tvo hund' red other white persons will become citizens of the county during the pres. ent winter. Woodruff county IS on n boom which has cifectually solved the race problem. Politicians aud crap. shooters win find this is not genial cline for them. Woodruff County Vii detie.

lT is hardly to he believed that the negro in the south will ever be satisfied without social equality With the whites This is his constant demand, beyond question, however much he may deny it, aud he k taught unceasingly by his pretended and scountirel.s friends that this end can he accomplished if he will only persist in stirring up the race preiudlces and causing periodical riots and hloodshed. In tEese uprisings the negro is nearly always either killed or forced to leave the community; and yet he refuses to be convinced of the errors of his ways and of thc rascally motives of his teachers. If 1t had been possible to ram any sense into his head. he would long since have learned that his ambition in shks particular is. and ever will be, entirely out of the question.
