FROM THE SUNNY SOUTH.

BATEsvILLE, MISS, Nov. ii, '9l.
It is with pleasure I announce to you our
safe arrival at our once old home, finding
our friends all we'll We had very pleas
ant trip, but little too long, being com.
pletely worn out when we reached Bates
vile. We were just six days and seven
hours on the road from Corvallis, and that
was a good while for me to be cooped in SO
small space without exercise; but few
days rest have Strengthened out all kinks,
and we are ourselves once more. We never
met an ill.tempered conductor on the run
from Portland to st. Paul, but all seemed
clever and accommodating, and looked at.
ter the welfare of their passengers.
No accident happened of note during our
trip. One brakeman had foot crushed
and one band of cattle had its rank and file
thipned to a considerable extent; but cattle
are cheap.
The election had just passed off when we
landed in Mississippi. Only one ticket was
in the field. Neither the republicans nor
alliance put out ticket, SO there was no
interest taken, as there was no one to be
beaten, not half the voters went to the polls.
We Webfooters know nothing of hard
times. If those persons in Oregon who
think times are hard there would only
spend few days in these old states they
could not find train that would carry them
fast enough to reach Webfoot again. The
cotton crops are short and prices are low,
being only seyen cents per pound. can
make more money at forty cents per bushel
for wheat in Oregon than can be made from
cotton at seven cents.
A great many negroes are in deplorabl'
condition. The fool creatures will not rem
land and give part of the crop, but mus
give SO many bales of cotton for 90 man.
acres of land, and this year they will no
make the rent. We read in the papers, W
hear ministers preach from the pulpit, w
hear men talk on the streets what rapi'
strides the negroes are making financially
morally and religiously. 1t is emphaticall.
not so, when we come to regard them as
race. There are plenty of families righ
here that have not one bite to eat but brea
alone.
When we reached our destination it ha'
not rained in six weeks, but since our arr
val we have had an abundance of it, wit
; heavy winds; but that is common In thl
country. We passed through some yer
fine country so far as soil goes, but they al
wanting in climate. I saw no country ths
will compare with our God-favored Will
annette valley. Respectfully,
w. j. WILBANKs.

STRANGERS IMpREssIoNs-The impress
sion that strangers who visit this city would
have of Corvallis can only be wondered at.
Walking in the western suburbs of the city,
they could not but be favorably reminded
that the State Agricultural College is
enough to make city. Then they would
look at the dormitory and inspect the ex.
pertinent station, and see all the improve.
ments of the past year, and 60 away feeling
that there is spirit of public enterprise
somewhere in the air. Passing along the
Corvallis public school building, they would
be highly impressed with the manifestations
of progress that prompted its erection.
Looking to the southwest. they would see
the carriage factory, the result of home en-.
terprise in the investment of home capital.
and of course the stranger would know
that our monied men are trying to solve the
problem of progress. He would also be i'm.
pressed--in fact delighted--with the mum,
berless nice dwellings, the court house, the.
railroad dcpots, our nice churches, ETC., and
he would 60 down to Main street. Then the
stranger would certainly feel like kicking
himself. The bottom would completely
drop out of his maguifed imagination. In
fact, it would be bottomless both at the
top and bottom. He would look about him
and see Chinese laundries and mud, and to /.
bacco signs. and old wagon axles. and mud.
and tobacco signs, and Chinese laundries.
and old buildings that had been built as lar
back as the eye can reach. The stranger
would then take the first train for home.
Would it not materially help the appearance
Of Main street and benefit the property
owners financially if they tear down some
of those old and disgraceful looking wood
en- buildings and build good, substantial
brick buildings in their stead!

jury adjourned Saturday after weeks ses-
zion. The following is their report to
Judge Pipes.
We, the grand jury, have examined into
crimes triable in Benton county and in cases
of persons bound over to await our action,
have in one instance found true bill and
in two cases not a true bill. We have re-
ported true bill only in such cases where
the evidence before us fully justified such
action and refused to bring Indictment II
cases of doubt. We find that the offices of the

further business before us we ask to bt
