what a Great railroad man SAYS.

President Marvin Hughitt, on the Chi
cage and Northwestern railway, said at
the meeting of railroad presidents in
New York short time ago, 1.-THE 100 mile
square comprising the Black Hills is the
richest spot OF equal area now known on
EARTH
It would be impossible to pay more
glowing tribute to the Black Hills, and
comes from a person whose knowledge
of such things is valuable indeed. And
would any one who is aware OF the rich
ness of the Hills for moment question
the statement -"the richest spot OF
equal area now known on EARTH" To
be sure it is broad and sweeping asser-
ton, but when one comes to consider the
vast resources of the Hills, most of
which yet lie dormant, President Hugh
tits statement will be pronounced cor
rect to the letter. With tin in unques-
tionably exhaustless quantities; with
gold, silver, copper, mica, asbestos and
nearly all other precious minerals, in
richly paving quantities; with the extern
sive forest of timber that covers the
Hills; with sufficient quantities of the
finest quality of bituminous coal that
was ever discovered, to supply the whole
northwest country; with surrounding
prairie region that grows heavy grasses
of the most nutritious quality, which
! natures before the frost kills il. thus
covering the country withsthe very best
quality of hay, and climate that per-
mits stock to Craze thereon throughout
the winter season, making this a stock
raising locality unequaled in the United
States; with valleys containing thous-
ands of acres of fertile soil, which can
be irrigated, and caused to produce i'm
mense crops; with pure mountain ozone,
SO healthful and invigorating, together
with the most charming mountain seen
cry, all combine to make it "the richest
spot of equal area now known on EARTH -
as well as truely desirable place to
call home.

Hale at 81.

Col. r. ID. Casey, of Mountain
Home, Ark. one of the eight sur
vivors Of a company of Hardeman
County volunteers organized fifty
foul years ago, passed through the
city yesterday on his way from Boli-
var, where he had been attending
a reunion. A representative of the
Scimitar was introduced to Col.
Casey al. the office of Mr.. Napoleon
Hill, who is an old acquaintance
and friend of his, and had a half
hours talk with him.
Col. Casey, who is a native len
nessean, responded to the call of the
State i'll 1888 for volunteers to look
after the Cherokee Indians, who
were becoming troublesome. With
Gen. Rufus 2. Nicely he organized
company near what was
then called Ross Landing, but Is
now Chattanooga, and became Sec
ond in command. There we're 1O4
members of the company. As lieu
tenant with a detail of twenty-four
men, he was charged with escortin g
200 Indians TO Ditto Landing,
where they were afterwards trans
ferred to their reservation III Arr
kansas.
The survivors of the company
haye held a reunion regularly on
the I'd day of May since 1882, at
Bolivar. There were twelve or
fourteen present at the fast re-
union, but only eight in the last.
They were Gen. X. P. Nicely, Col.
r. d. Casey, James B. league, W.
B. Roberts, James Mills and Will
lam Porter. There are but two
other survivors known-Gen.
Jesse B. Harris, now of Washing
ton, and Joseph Thompson of Ar
kansas.
Though Col. Casey is 81 years
oil, he Is as active as almost any
man of so. He is remarkably
well preserved. His eyes are
bright, his hearing unimpaired and
his cane more of an ornament than
part. There are sixty years
difference between the ages of his
eldest daughter and his young
est son. Three of his chill
dren are mere infants. One of
them is 3 years old, another 6, and
third S. HIS eldest child was
born when he was 81, and the last
after he had passed the 18th mile
post.
Col. Casey expects to leave Mem
phis for home today. Memphis

of the States in the Northwest
where republicanism has held for
many years undisputed and abso-
lutte sway, its ranks have been rap
idly thinned. Many of the farmers
of these States have seen the eager
ness Of English capitalists TO invest
their sheckels IN manufactures,
while thousands of acres of their
farming lands are covered with
mortgages and are decreasing i'm
value. The realization of such
facts is the cause Of the unrest that
now exists among the farmers in
that section of country. And In
their abandoning the party that
they have SO long been members
of, is evidence that they hold it re-
sponsibIe for their financial condi>
ton. Such a state of affairs is truly
encouraging to Democracy. But
while the democratic hosts, who are
demanding retrenchmeut and re-
form are maching to the goal
of victory, they should beware lest
undemocratic heresies should enter
the ranks and retard our progress

In cities receive enormous fees for

remembered that the authority to

A PRECOCIOUS INFANT.

Though hardly out of the swaddling
cloths Of infancy, the Peoples Party
of Ford county has developed an
aptitude for those political methods
which may be termed sharp practice.
Since the campaign has become clear
" defined the high priests of the
order arrived at the conclusion that
the two Republican candidates for
commissioner would be elected. The
permanent, substantial residents of the
second and third commissioner dis.
tricts have, regardless Of party afilis'
tions, at last come to realize the fact
that most important Of all county Of
GERS are the commissioners. That the
proper management Of . great county
like Ford not only requires unques
toned honesty and integrity, but the
clsarest judgment and . varied expert
ence in business affairs. L. r. Nil
Ter and 81. r. Brown both possess
these qualities to an eminent degree
Their business has brought them in
contact with people from every part
Of the county, and their uniform hon
esty and fairness in dealing with
neighbors is 30 well known; thei,
sound judgment and clear understand
ing are 90 thoroughly appreciated,
and their ability to properly and pru
IDENTIFY manage our county affairs ST
universally conceded, that. as the
campaign progressed it became ap
parent to almost every one that these
men would both surely be elected il
their respected districts. The Peo
pies Party leaders realized the fac
and held a council OF war. The,
have among their number some o
