The Grenada gazette. (Grenada, Miss.) 1885-18??, 1889-12-06

Grenads, Meridian, Jackson and
Winona are all making inducements
for the location Of the Methodist Col.
lege. The liberIl and broad minded
zee i It greater value in moral, relig-
ious ana intellectual culture, than en-
oe estimated in dollars and cents, and
so the high emulation Of these bro
SresslVe cities aims higher than the
mere gain to them in q pecuniary
sense The highest good is always
attained by the NEST liberal, and We
watch the contest with great interest
as an indication of the progressive
spirit of their citizens. We look for
u neighbor, Grenada, to push, with
her claims, and we confess a
Pastlallty for her.-North Mississippi

Cotton Raising, Buying and
Selling.

Although We would advise every
farmer in the hill country Of Missis-
sippi TO plant less cotton and cultivate
that better, and ,ow more grain and
grass for the purpose of raj ing some
stock, AMI then diversity Ii crops,
which would not take a many labor
ers, nor as large teams, we &Fc not
ignorant OF the fascination Of making
cotton, nor of buying cotton. To the
farmer ii IS always a ready sale for
| cash, which is Il strong point in favor
OF its cultivation. In every product of
the farm it is the only thing
which he can sell any whe. c
or at any time for ready
money, and this is the reason why
farmers are reluctant to yield to a
wiser policy. Then the certainty of a
crop is another strong feature in its
ia yor. The cotton may vary in pro-
duct per acre, or per mule, but it
never absolutely fall. We never
knew it to fall under a half cop, I'M
less visited by destructive storms or
floods. If Il farmers, and especially
"e I" low aUIc,, ruvrrvn ~ / asv
as much ononeacre as they now make
on two or more, they would soon have
an average crop, for them, on five
acres, which they now sometimes fail
to get on ten or ever fifteen. As they
would decrease their cotton in acre.
they would increase their aver re for
the cereals, or grain, and thus
would be as rich in cotton bales as be-
tore, but much richer in fat cat
tie, sheep, colts and swine. When
time comes the whole subject il
reconsidered, tn Y throw all tn. ir
resolutions to the wind and 90 in for a
Dig cop for the last time.
Buying cotton is somewhat like
lra"ing a prize in a lottery. BY some
unexplained law of cause and effect. ,

Towns are not built ON wind or ST.
lcuca. II o We should introduce the
s,lrino # Cr'lpso, ana worship around
ner seated affairs lt,teld Of the tenn
pies of the living God. If they ert
built by wind and nois', thu baZoo is
the best instrument that we know to
raise'a DINING noise. II takes three
factors 10, build up towns aud villages
brains, capital and labor. While We
are looking for some incidental help
for the benefit of Grenada, We should
not rely for her future prosperity upon
any hing out our own efforts. Let us
ak how mauy small industries could
have ieen planted here, which now
might have expended to large proper
tons. We have time and again dis.
cussed almost every trade and occupa-
ton, which seemed von s~elf-sustain-
ing. start something by the means
which we have, and let it 90 to work.
A machine to make axe and hoe ham
dies would have paid here before now
had il been established. A wagon
factory begun here a few years ago
might now have been pushing from
the arena of that busin IS, wagons
the was""e west. AS prof of it, see
by convict labor, in front of Gins
burger & Wile's large establishment.
Which the convict labor con do, free
labor ought to do better. But of all
things do not be afraid of what sur
rounding towns are doing. They are
feeders to Grenada. If they do in the
Of their OWL little busi-
nes-, keep a few hundred bales of
from coming here, they buy
enough in Grenada to make I'D the
difference. What constitutes the
material glory of New England and
he middle States, but signs of thrifty
owns and villages In passing on
through that section of our
omlnon country, we are not out ofone
'lace before we are in another, and
very one living on somo trade, some
'ursult, some industry. Suppose
here was a slathGn and a carilla only
~ other names every nine miles from
irenada to the Tennessee line, would
t not be regarded a prosperous part of
Mississippi? Really We wish there
a Graysp"rt, called by other
ames, every five miles, from here to
.labama, and Elliots and Duck Hills
same distance apart to tho Gnlf,
nd Jeffersons every five miles all the
he way to Grcenvillc, and these lines
isected and intersected, until we be
lad that the whole State was dotted
18th live towns and Villages, all over,
every oncthrifty and musical with
10 arts and Industries of face. Jeul-
Is OF the little towns around us be-
avs fears which never trouble us.
I'd so far from opposing, let Grenada
,pand her commercial wings, and
NOR them all by having all sorts Of :
to sell them, without going 10
cmphis, at Mempels prices. Why n

tain. The people were generally
working from under the mortgage and
deed and trust system to higher and
more Independent ground, and with a
good crop these encumberances would
have been lifted. With plenty of corn
md hay the farmer will not have to
be so dependent as in other days.
Dry goods and groceries will be their
great expense this year. Meat, of
course, will be a heavy expense to
many. The time never should come
when people should be extravagant,
no matter how much they have, but
certainly the time is at hand when
economy should be studied in its
closest frugality. AS to what we can
do with, and without, remember the
lessons Of the war, when sugar
amo. ct the sick ceased to be a neces-
sity, much less luxury, when a plenty
of corn meals.was q desideratum with
many people who thought they could
not live without flour. With all this
self-denial the people lived and
had good health. This hort crop

AN UNRECoRDED BATTLE
Flstienrs on the Picket.Iine.

"The funniest thing that ever occurred in
my experience" said an old officer the other
day. took place in the Summer of 81 on the
picket-line in front of the Tenth Corps.
q had not been promoted then, and was out
on the line as Sergeant. The firing was so
sharp and heavy that we would have called it
a battle two years before. The pickets on our
extreme right at Bermuda Hundred were so
close to each other that the line was only re-
lieved of nights, and we kept mighty quiet
about it, too, for at the least noise the John
MES would fire at the sound so that each man
would crawl out to his station and drop into
little pit, while the man he relieved would
crawl back rs cautiously to safety.
lone mighty hot day sometime in July, It
seemed that all the boys on each side drew so
heavily on their canteens that they ran out of
water, and along in the afternoon everybody
seemed to be thirsty rs blazes. The lines were
not over 40 yards apart, but just between US
and the rebs little branch ran down toward
the James River, and the water looked mighty
tempting. After awhile one OF our boys sang
out to the man across the creek: Johnny,
give me drink Johnny yelled back: All
right; come after it, That raised laugh
along both lines bat in minute our man sang
out. Blamed if / won't do it if you won't
!
ahead Honest? Yes, indeed, and We'll
all fill our canteens' The proposition took,
and in spite of the yelling of the officers on
| each line pretty nearly every hayonet on each
side showed up something white, and in less
than 10 minutes nearly every man, Yank and
Johnny, was filling his eanteen. Then came
the usual trading of coffee, tobacco and news
papers, and then some good natured chatting.
Much later than any of his reb comrades,
n long-legged, thin, red headed and freckled
Johnny came down the bank, and "smart
Aleck " of the Tooth N. Y. sang out: Hello,
Tar Heel, why didn' you come soonerF Johnny
walked straight up TO him and drawled out
'Say, hoa'd YOU know, stranger, that Pm from
Moth K'liny Well said Mr.. S0arty, you
look more like raZor-back than an hing I've
seen this side of New Bcrne.' Tar Heel smack
ed him square in the mouth, and before the
laugh quieted both went at it hot and heavy,
give and take. Our man was pretty healthy
young fellow, with plenty of ability to take
care of himself but in about 10 minutes, while
all hands formed a ring. Tar Heel had licked
him till he hOllered. While the fight was GO
ing on the Johnnies kept betting all the to-
bacco they had against our coffee and sugar,
man was known all through their division as
lively fighter, although he didn't look like it,
by blamed sight
g Both men cleaned of in the branch, and
/ while they were still shaking hands one of Our
shells burst elose by, and in two minutes All the
/ men were back in their burrows and as anx-
/ ious 10 shoot the stEiting out Of each other as
1 they had been friendly just before"
