EDITORS BULLKTIN-I notice in the
last issue of your paper you mention a
communication from me IN regard TO a
petition to the next legislature to do
away with the navigation of Hatchie riv-
or above the town of Hatchie, Tenn.
Yoa state it correctly that the object in
closing the river is to get public bridge
across the same at some suitable point
between Hatchie and Bolivar, and you
say if we need il we ought to have it, but
you think il ought to be high enough for
boats to pass under. Now, Mr.. Editor,
are YOU looking for line Of steamers to
come up Hatcbie to haul out the i'm
mense quantity of timber You speak OF
A steam boat can't come up Hatchie riv-
ar only when the water is high, and to
have a bridge high enough for boats to
pass under when the water Is high, we
would have to commence at the foot OF
the hill on one side and run to the hill
ON the other in order to get the necessary
incline for wagons to pass over.
Mr.. Editor, this question OF discontinue
ing the navigation of Hatch;e river was
advocated before the Tennessee Midland
was built. Whenever we speak oil
bridge. this line OF steamers Is always
thrown at US, aud there has not been a
boat in Hardeman county in nine years.
The last boat thst came up Hatohie in
Hardeman county was the j. w. Pointe-
want, and she plowed up mud and sand
all the way up within two miles OF Pitser
Miller's mill, and at this point she sunk.
/ was on board this boat aud know where
OF speak.

The BULLETIN Is a county pa
per, and tries always to be fair and
give both sides a hearing. Conse>
quently We make room elsewhere
for two communications from VIldO,
in regard to the proposed closing OF
Hatchie river, and the building of
a bridge in that section of the coun
ty in order to give the people a
more convenient crossing. MIR.
Needham says in his letter that
1--WE would make the people be-
lieve there was a great line OF steam
ers going to run Hatchie river" and
states "that its a strange thing to
know and believe how much men will
. know about thing they don't know
anything about" In reply to Mr..
Needham, We viii say that Is not our
intention TO make the people of Har-
deman county believe that steam
boats will ever again ply Hatchie
river above the Midland bridge.
This is not the matter under con-
sideration at all; steamers may come
to Bolivar provided the river is
kept open) or they may not. We
desire that the river remain naviga-
BILE, because we believe it will be to
the interest of a majority of the peo-
pie of our county. He intlmates
that NO are advocating something
of which we are entirely ignorant.
OF coulse, he IS entitled to his own
opinion in regard to this. Dir.
Moore also mentions the Lime
of steamers" and recalls to memory
his connection with the ill fated
"Pointeyent." He asks us to "ex-
anime our democracy and see if we
haven't found a scare crow at the
Tennessee Midland bridge" Exact
ly what he means by the above
remark, we are at loss to know
but we will state that the Tennes-
see Midland Railroad has openly
violated the law, and is liable to be
indicted at any term of the circuit
court; and it is a duty incumbent
upon our grand juries and attorney
general to see that said road Is in
dIcted and made to pay the fine the
law imposes. We dislike to take ST.
des against any particular section
OF our county, and while we recog-
nize and deplore the circumstan .es
under which the people of the Vii
do neighborhood are situated. We
are compelled from sense of duty
to advocate what we believe TO be
for the good OF the general public,

Novel Point of Law.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, December
15.-In the United States Court to-
day the case of Jerome Hill ct al.
against SearcY County, Ark. came
up on a demurrer of defendants to
the jurisdiction of the Federal court,
for that the court had no cognlzance
of the defendant under the Unite d
States laws of 1888 because the de-
PENDANT was not a corporation. The
Court overruled the demurrer,
which is equivalent to judgment
for the plaintiff. Jerome Hill, of St.
Louis, for $4,000 against Searcy
County. The plaintiff was repres-
ented by Harry M. Hill, of St.
Louis, who made very strong ar
gument. and received the congrat-
ulations of the bar, as his case rails
ed a new point, which he won.-

WHAT is Newsi

An ingenious editor of large and
successful daily, who would be re-
coguized as one of the best news
paper men in the United States if
his name were mentioned, recently
had occasion to employ some new
reporters. Many men applied, all
of whom he called into his sanctum,
and, paying no attention to their
letters of recommendation, gave
each one of them writing pad, at
the head of which Was the question,
"What is Newsi"
"Half an hour to answe that
question, young gentlemen. Then
/ shall know how TO make my
choice"
There was some lively scratching
for thirty minutes, and the result Of
the newspaper examination was in
tensely interesting. Some of the
answers of the succe ssful competi-
tors are suggestive. Here are a
few of them:
"News is anything that the gen
eral public ought to know"
News consists OF events that
are either very usual or very unus-
usl'"
"News is the daily record of the
human race put into convenient
shape for the public"
News is the panorama OF the
world every twenty >tOur hours in
mbryo."
News is whatever the public
viii read and pay for"
News is anything from Jones'
arrival in town to the fall of an EN-.
pre-
News is historical fact. 1t is
what occurs; not what Is imagined
"News is the truth concerning
men, nations and things. That is,
truth concerning them which Is
helpful, or necessary for reader to
know"
This last definition pleased the ed
itor very much. 1t is a serious
question whether even a small per
cent of what is commonly called
"news" in our daily papers would
stand the test OF that de6nition.-E

crops Of the country are safe, and that
the average of the crops already harvest
ed and to be harvested will reach 90 per
cent. This means that in the one item
of corn alone this country this year raises
1000, 900 bushels,,or as large acorn crop
as was raised in 1889, during which year
the largest corn crop in the history of
this country was raised. The crop OF
oats is about 7OOOO0,000 bushels, and
the crop of wheat will go up to at least
$50, O000 900 bushels. These crops will feed
100000, 900 people besides leaving enough
over for all domestic and stock feeding
purposes. This country will have fully
one-third of these enormous amounts for
export, and the beauty OF the situation
lies in the fact that Europe absolutely
needs that one.third and more to feed her
starving millions. Verify, an era Of I'M
exampled prosperity is certainly ahead Of
the people OF the United States.

ON OLIVE GROWING,

In writing to the secretary OF the board
of immigration respecting New Mexico's
fruit lands, John S. Calkins, of Los An
geles county, California, encloses treat
Use on the growing of the olive which is
extremely interesting. A perusal Of it
leads us to the opinion that the time has
arrived when New Mexico horticuturists
should take heed of the profits to be de-
rived from the cultivation OF the olive.
Undoubtedly there are many districts in
New Mexico where this fruit can be grown
to perfection. OF late years it has been
discovered that its culture is not to be
confined to the old mission region OF
southern California. The late Professor
W. G. klee, Of the experiment grounds OF
he State University, at Berkeley, Cal,
wrote: abundant testimony exists to
show that the olive tree will thrive
throughout the greater part OF California.
1t will grow in soil too dry even for a
grape vine and too rocky for any other
fruit tree the hills and mountain slopes
not fit for the pasture of even goat can
be made to produce olives" This being
so, why should not the sunny lands Of
the Mesilla, Tularosa, Mimbres and Pecos
valleys come into prominence as olive
producers? Even in the sheltered hooks OF
Socorro and Bernalillo counties, possibly,
the more harder varieties can be grown.
The Nevadillo Bianco, very robust
grower and great oil producer, and the
Manzanillo, preferable for picking, are
the hardest and therefore probably the
best for those who desire to experiment
in olive culture in New Mexico. A year
ago an attempt was made to introduce the
was scarcely successful because the vari-
ETY. was of the old San Diego mission
kind. The grades named above are said
to be much preferable. AS to profits the
figures are remarkable, being about 5000
net per acre or more, while to prepare the
product for market requires no skilled
labor and only the most impressive ma
chinery.
1t is a fact not generally known that
California holds the highest award of the
Paris worlds exposition for olive oil, and
while great quantities are shipped to the
United States from abroad it is all more
agriculture at Washington few years
ago made chemical tests of sixty-six
samples of imported olive oil, and not a
single sample was found to be pure; one
sample contained only per cent olive
oil,

The department OF education in Ala

and district superintendent in which oc.
ours the following:
"No book should be allowed taught in
any of our schools, supported in whole or

reflects on the character, patriotism, chiv-

and defended the cause of the confederacy,
or in any way took part on the southern

A GRAND PHILANTHROPY.

"And good cometh even out OF Naza-
reth." A gentleman named Andrew R.
French, Missourian with more than the
average quantity of the milk of human
kindness in his composition, wants "the
prosperous farmers" of this country to
contribute five bushels of wheat each
from their bounteous crops to the famine
stricken people in Europe. He proposes
to load fleet with the 100000 bushels
of breadstuffs thus secured and send greet
ing from the new world to the old. 1t is
a grand philanthropy that, should it be
carried out, would certainly leave last
ing impression of western American hos
pitality upon the suffering thousands OF
human beings in Russia and elsewhere at
the present moment.

THE FAR WEST AND THE FAR EAST.

THAT the good times have come in
reality is demonstrated by the stock
market reports sent out these days from
the eastern money centers. "Greatest
days business Of the year, is a frequent
refrain in the reports Of the stock market,
and how the western railroad stocks are
bounding to the front is simply splendid.
A., T. & S. F. stock, it appears, rather
has the lead of the whole list of granger
roads, but the Rock Island and Burling-
ton also show great activity on the stock
market. The big crops and plenty OF
traffic are responsible for this. Year by
year it becomes plain that the far east,
with all its independence and ready
money must look to the great west for
hints as to the proper time for turning
