'The Russ Eaouse of Tucson

This favorite hotel is located on Camp street about midway between Church Plaza and Stone Avenue. It is now con- ducted by Mrs. H. R. Jeffords, lady who is we'll qualified for the duties which a public house of that kind would entail up- on her. Being centrally located the Russ is necessarily convenient to all the princi- pal business places in the city and to the Court House. It is quiet and retired and hence the best in the city to pass a night, or to rest during the day from the busy duties of life. The rooms are large and well ventilated, and we bespeak for the Russ large share of the public patronage. pATEAITc WoRhISs Wo.P5It6a, 6.d' ATE1ss' 6yesrs THIEN ! D experience Write for in formation.

Messrs, J. Pierce and A. V. Bach of Traver, Cal, were passen- gers on Monday evenings express for the fertile lands of the Mohawk valley. They are but the advance guard of a large number of farmers who will settle in the rich section covered by the Mohawk Canal. Lands, they say are getting to be too scarce, and the prices too high for farmer to buy in Cal, and expect to improve them, hence this movement into the Mohawk valley.

Death of Hon. c. 4. O.ey.


 Lee County Courier.
 Hon. c. A. Otey died at his home near Svlaryiile, in this county, or Wednesday morning, the 9th, st o'clock. lis death WAS d shock to many who had not even heard that hs was sick. He was ia town several days last week, and seemed to be in his usual health and spirits and his sudden death forcib'y reminds Us ot the truthfullnesS of the sacred admoni- tion that "in the midst of life we are in death" Shortly after his return home on Thursday he was taken ill and rapidly growing worse by Satur. day, his physicilu. Dr. R. k. Fore man. thought it advisable to called in Dr. c. T. Chandler of Spring Creek and Dr. J. w. Hayes of this place toI consultation. A correct diagnosis oi of his case disclosed the fact he was suffering from intersusception of the bowels, and surgical operation would be the only means of giving relief, which was satisfactorily performed on Monday, and as he stood the trying ordeal so well, it was hoped that he would recover, but an all-wise Proyi. dence willed otherwise, and he gradu- ally declined until "Wednesday morn ing, when death relieved his sufferings A man of strong convictions, he was equally the true friend or the fearless enemy.
 Capt. Otey was born in Madison coui.ty, Alabama, about AZ years ago He entered tue Confederate army at the age of Is years, and nObiy battled foI what he though to be right until re- l tired from service by wounds. Alter the war he read law in the office ol Judge Tom Hanly of Helena, and was admitted to the bar at that place in 1871, shortly afterwards becoming city attorney, which position he held for two years. He was prosecuting attor- ney for the First judicial district fol one term, afterwards becoming editor of the Helena Daily and Weekly Yeo- men, which he ably conducted for sev- eral years. He removed to this county in 1883, where he has been suceessful- | ly engaged in practicing his profession | farming and merchandising until his death. He ably represented Lee coun' | ty in the lower house of the legislature for two terms, 1887 and 1891, and while q member of that body was the peer of any. During the last session of the legislature he was cnalruiaE ol the judiciary committee and an infinen' | tial member of the committee .on eiec' ton, which positionshe most acceptaoly filled. He was a representative man not only of this, his own county, but of the whole state, and was generally regarded as one of its coming men. All in all, c. A. Otey was man among men, one whom his friends loved and his enemies feared, aud in his deati the state has lost an honored citizef the county fearless champioH,, and the Courier stauneh friend. Peace to his ashes.
 His remains were inferred in the family bnrying ground, at his home on the following evening. lie leaves a devoted wife to mourn his loss. tt whom the Courier extends it's heart felt sympathy in this her hour of great afflictian. May the God of the widow ] and orphan comfort and sustain her.

CoNvENTIoN OF COTTON GROWERS.

ONNfSTlON OF COTTON GROW FRS
 On Friday and Saturday last there was held in Memphis notable con vention of representative farmers frou all the Southern states, their object being to discuss the feasibility of a united plan for the dminution of tht cotton area. Arkansas was well rep resented, Governor Eagle, Commis sioner Locke, Mayor Fletcher of Lit tie Rock, Col Feb Ward and Col. B. b 1 Williams looking after the states in. terests. The following resolutions embody the sentiments of the conyen. tion:
 First-We recommend that this con- vention do proceed to organize per. manent organization to be known as The Cotton Growers and Merchants association
 | Second-We recommend that said organization shall consist of one pres. ident and q secretary and treasurer and one vice-president from each Of the cotton growing states.
 Third-We recommend that there be local organizations of the said Cotton 1 Growers and Merchants association l organized in every state, county and town i'll the cotton growing region, and that the said local organizations shall, where possible and practicable, cooper ate with any farmers organization now in existence.
 Fourth We recommend that re- | duction in the acreage planted in cot ton for the year 1892 be twenty per cent less than that planted in 1891. Fifth We further recommend that each and every planter or farmer with in the said cotton growing states do plant more diver sified crops, and es- pecially take extraordinary precaution to the end that he shall produce an abundance of corn, meat, hay, peas. oats, and such other necessaries for | his own family'S use. And we here | appeal personally and individually that each and every person favoring this movement do lend his aid and in- ! iluence to further this end.
 | SiXth-ln view of the fact that the mercantile interest of the South IS l largely held responsible, whether right fully or not, for the planting of cotton, verging upon the exclusion of other products. it is therefore suggested and hopefully urged upon them to con
 
 tribute ty their advice and in other substantial ways to the bringing about of this coveted reform in our farming methods. IL is further deemed of greatest moment that as the banking institutions of the cities and towns oi the South are equally Interested in that prosperity which alone can come 1 through q change in our methods that they turn an intelligent eye in this direction. and contribute their quota of needed aii. h fact, we hold it to be more emphatically in the power oi these two classes of our agencies in producing cotton to promote and as. sist to be self-snstaining condition than all others; and we look to them and hold them responsible in great | part if tie aims of this convention fail and they refuse to labor with the farmer and planter in this reformatory direction.
