Nevada County picayune. (Prescott, Nev. County, Ark.) 1885-1???, 1892-01-28

To the Hon. Rufus ID. Hearn,
Judge of the 9Th Circuit We your
Jury duly empanelled for this term
of Circuit Court, beg leave to submit
this our final report:
We have inquired into all viola
tons of the criminal laws in our ju.
risdiction, of which we had knowl-
edge, and of which we have received
information.
We have examined quite num-
Der of witnesses and presented in
dictments in all cases, where in our
opinion the evidence warranted
same.
We find that the various court Of
ticials are satisfactorily performing
their duties and that the accounts
and records of the Sheriff, Clerk and
Treasurer are kept neatly and in
good condition.
Our county has no Jail and the ex-
pense of keeping county prisoners is
very great, This matter deserves
the careful consideration of the
| County court. We recommend that
a suitable Jail be built as soon as
possible.
We find the various public roads
in the county to be in very good con-
dition, but some roads are without
overseers. We call attention of the
County court to this matter, with
the suggestion that overseers be APP
pointed to fill vacancies.
The Poor House is not in good
condition. 1t needs repairs and q
proper person to keep same. We
do earnestly invite the County
courts attention TO same. and rec
ommend that immediate steps be
taken to remedy present state Of az
/ fairs.
We find that some constables and
special oonstables, appointed by JUS
tees of the Peace, are not as prompt
in settling with the county as they
/ should be, and we invite the atten-
/ ton of the Prosecuting Attorney and
/ County court to this matter and rec
ommend that proper steps be taken
to force them to perform their duties
in this behalf.
Now, having completed our labors
and thanking your Honor and the
officers of your Court, for ccurtesie>
extended, we respectfully ask to be
discharged X. IL. MITCHELL,

We learn that saloon has been
spened at Arcadia, just across the
line in Hampstead county. AS that
place is on the p. & N. w. X. r.,
and train on that road will make
frequent trips daily, result will be
about as bad as if whislkey was sold
in Prescott.
] Judge Hearn made a splendid
selection of jury commissioners, in
the persons of Messrs b. II. Logan,
X. r. Garland and b. +. Jordan
We feel sure the lists of jurors for
the next (July) term of court, as
chosen by them, will comprise good
capable men,
Our Laneburg scribe gives his
brother farmers some good advice in
saying plant lots of oats. Let our
farmers raise more food products,
such as oats. corn, potatoes, sorghum,
etc, and plenty OF meat, with less
cotton, and they will never regret
it, or suffer by it. 1t don't pay to
raise cotton.
Prof. J L. Martin, of Arkadel-

in Prescott Saturday Prof. Mar

and as teacher of penmanship in
both the Methodist and Baptist Col
leges of that place.

spect is acknowledged wherever it is
read.
Many are kicking about the CON
dition of the Carouse levee. Let our
farmer friends around Laneburg and
Rosston haul in sawdust on the
levee, and it will be all right-they
have, as yet, done nothing toward
improving it. Messrs A. J. Weaver
and J. w. Hudson tell us eight wag-
ons could do this work in two DAYS
time, and they are each willing to
put in wagon. Let others Join
them and do this at once.

Chicago Fire.

The most remarkable art prnduc- tiOn of modern times is said to be the new cyclcrama of the Chicago fire To- cated on Michigan avenue, in that en- terprising city. The great work Is re- ported to have cost nearly quarter of d million of dollars.and shows in very realistic and wonderful manner the great fire of 1871 The observer is placed in an elevated position on the site of old Fort Dearborn, immediate ly south of the Rush street bridge, and from this historic spot views this grand and awe inspiring scene. To the southwest lies the business portion of the city, smOuldering mass of red hot ruins, the great north side is a sea of flames, while along the lake shore are two streets that are doomed but not yet destroyed, giving here a glimpse of the old Chicago of ante-fire days. The scene along the lake shore in and about the old United States marine hospital and the Rush street bridge is one of indescribable confusion thousands of helpless and homeless in a wild and furious flight for safety. The whole effect is sublime and awful in the extreme.
 Unusual care was taken to make this grand work worthy of the subject, aud, above all, to have it historically correct. Professor David Swing and other eminent authorities proHuonce the whole d faithful portrayal of this great historic event. IL will remain as one of the sights of the city until after the worlds fair.

Cotton and the Anti-optIon Bni.

HiH. Fontaiue < Co.'S Circular. July D.
 The shart acreage. damage from overllows. loss by decreased Use of fer tilizers and prospective loss from very questionable conditions of tue present crop, all seem to have been forgotten. The bears shout enormous surplus and the Hatch bill" They claim that these are enough to hold values at the present level. We have seen an estimate from an experienced cotton man and one well posted in the south. as follows:
 Loss from decreased ncreage. e......... .eo9.eo9 Loss from decreased use of fertilizers 25J.eH Loss from overfows throughout the .,o Loss on account of crop being late.
 grassy. had stands and defective lE-
 bor as compared with last year. .5e9o0
 Or total loss of 100000 bales. Of course this is only an estimate and We give it as We heard it. We give also the average price of middling cotton i'll New York on the 18th day of July for the past SIX years, VIZ:
 lsss lSS7 lSSs IsS0 l.90 1891 This Year. 9a lolI l94 ll54 Pad s44 7A
 It will be noticed from the above that the average price for the past six years is l055 cent per pound, versus 1T ko4df. I AtN NdIut OA d DltE VI NOA- ton weighing 500 pounds Ut l0.56 cents. is S52. 50. 4 bale of cotton of 800 pounds at 14 cents would be @36 p.
 Estimating an average crop in this country at 300 600 bales at S52 80 per bale. it would bring S396 ,000,000. At s36 p per bale, 1t would be worth s27I ,S75 900, or a shrlnkage, say, of nearly 33 per cent, or Sl24 900 ,000. This enormous shrinkage would more than pay for 1000 900 bales of surplus at 10i cents per pound. and over 3,000,- 000 bales at present prices. Many at tribute present low values to the large surplus now ill sight from the last two crops, but there is no doubt but what large share oft is from manipula- tion and illegitimate condition of com mereial affairs as now conducted, for conSum ptiou of cotton is simply enor- nous, and there has been no like re- ductiOn of the price of manufactured goods as compared with the raw ma terial.
 The bears claim that if the Hatch bill passes, cotton will go lower, but many wise and discreet business men think that the passage of a bill ot this character would not lessen the consumption of cotton, and the taking of the power from tha bears to sell the market down would really enhance spot cotton. and it would again sell for it's real worth and not be controlled by illegitimate causes.
 We are asked every day if we think cotton will advance. We frankly say We do not know. We give you the above facts and ask you to form your own conclusions.
