The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1892-11-04

A vast quantity Of country pro-
duce was offered for sale on the
streets to-day. One farmer had
ninety bushel of yam potatoes, and
others from ten To twenty bushels,
which they were offering for 40
cents per bushel. Hay, both baled
and in bulk, was offered al from 80
10 rs cents. Country butchered
beef was on sale at 8 cents, and
chickens al from $3.50 to $500 per
dozen.
Being asked why he sold his po-
tatoes thus early in the season, a
prosperous planter said he "needed
money now, and would rather sell
at a low price than buy household
necessities on credit"
With few more such disastrous
years on cotton the farmers of this
section will cease to depend on one
single crop for a living. In fact,
most of them have already deter
mined that in the future they will
not pin their faith exclusively to
their former king-co.ton. They
will reduce the acreage in that
worthless commodity, and raise
more food crops.
The farmer who has good health,
a good garden, plenty of hay, a big
crib of corn, a few banks of pota-
toes, a few bushels of rice, barrel
or two of molasses, a few good
milch cows, q yard full of laying
hens, and cotton sufficient to pay
his store account and taxes, is in
good shape and will not be found
sitting round whiting dry goods
boxes and complaining about hard
times.-State Ledger, Oct. 29th.

Rev. DIR. Johnson, delegate to the

when questioned as TO bis opinion
concerning DIR. Rainsford, rector of

York, mounting the Democratic stump,
10 reported to have said:

not follow DIR. Rainsford to the stump.

There is q street car driver inWash-
ington named Mike Doran, a native
of Ireland, who has been in this
country about six years. He is n
close reader of the newspapers and
a careful observer Of everything
that is going on. During the past
year Mike has been paying a good
deal Of attention 10 tariff questions
and has been led away by the lheo-
ries of the Republicans that protec.
tion was n guod thing for the poor
man and helped To keep up wages.
lie had been told by Republicans
and BY Mckinley ia particular, that
the foreigners paid our taxes. Nc
Kinley said so in his Minneapolis
speech and Nike believed him at
that time.
Ten days ago cousin OF Mikes
arrived in this country. He brought
a present from Mikes mother to
her son, consisting Of twelve pairs
of woolen socks which she herself
knitted for him. The value Of the
socks was about 20 cents a pair, and
when Mikes cousin arrived at the
custom house lie was assessed %
cents a pair tariff duty on the socks.
When he came to Mike he showed
his receipt from the custom house
officers for the SO that he had paid
for the dozen socks, and Mike, of
course, had to refund the money TO
him. This set Nike to thinking,
and on suggestion of a friend, with
whom he conferred, he addressed
the following letter to Gov. McKin-
ley on this subject:
Hon. William Mckinley: Dear
Sir-I read your speeches ia the
house of representatives during the
Fifty-hrst congress, in which you
asserted and made me believe that
the foreigners paid our taxes. ]
also read your speech as presiding
officer Of the Republican national
convention ut Minneapolis in which
you asserted again that the foreign
ers paid our taxes. My mother
sent me a dozen pair of socks from
Ireland a few days ago. each pair
being worth about 20 cents. My
cousin, who brought them to me,
had to pay 20 cents a pair tariff du-
ties on the socks at the New York
custom house. Will you please be
kind enough to tell me to what for
eign government ] shall apply 10
have that SO refunded to me7 If
the foreigner pays the tax, as you
say he does, ] am entitled to get my
money back, but / don't know Just
exactly to what foreign government
to apply, and l hope you will be
kind enough TO inform me by return
mail. Yours truly,
MICHAEL DoRAN.
This is very pretty little object

Although country editors arc near
ly always poor, there arc plenty OF
persons who believe that half the par

arc always two sides to every ques-
tion, aud whichever side an editor
tails on, tho partisans of the other ac-
cuse him Of being "bought." II Is l.t-
tic wonder, therefore, that the editor
is seldom popular man; never knew
one who was, and / never knew ono
who was not often accused uDjustly.
Probably the people believe In brides
10 editors because II is a very rare cd
itor who does not accuse his opponent

claring that they carry on a system Of

remember the good points that
make you fond of them. Forget

Marshall county has made only ono
half of an average crop Of cotton this
season. The 1imes-Democrat report
or says: "At this season last year
BAL bales had been shipped from
the Holly Springs depot, and up to
date this year only 923 bales have
been shipped. There is great distress
throughout the county on account Of
low prices. The staple is finer, but
goes cheaper than lastyea Thisseas-
on's experience will teach farmers
and merchants not to depend upon
cotton for q support"

ex-governor Ireland, one of the
Democratic speakers in Texas, has
been forced to cancel his appoint
ments owing TO a personal misunder-
standing with third-party goat, and
instead Of soaring on the wings of
eloquence he is now at home poultic-
ing his bruises. The. Times-Demo-
crat thus relates the tragedy:
s'The bearded animal was kept in
a pasture adjoining the ex-goyern-
or's home. A few mornings ago Dir.
Ireland was crossing the pasture i'm
his usual digniIied style, when the
goat struck him with full force from
behind. The statesman was knocked
down and repeatedly struck by the
goat. He endeayored to ward off the
blows with bis feet, but was not sue
cessfnl in doing so, and was finally
rescued by neighbors and taken to
his home, where he has since been
confned.D
In the history Of politics this affair
deserves to rank with the fiendish as
sault which an English woman made
upon Mr.. Gladstone last winter by
striking the orator in the face with
a bit Of gingerbread while he was de-
livering a speech.

Last Saturday Mr.. Frick of the
Carnegie company paid to the Repub-

the people Of hundreds of millions
OF dollars BY virtne of our tariff laws,
they can we'll afford this contribution

why Japanese Women Look Pleasant.

Perhaps the secret of the sweet ex-
preston and habitual serenity Of the
Japanese women can be found in their
freedom from small worries. The
fashion Of dress never varying saves the
wear of mind over that subject, and the
baroness of the houses and simplicity of
diet make housekeeping a mere baga-
telle. Everything is exquisitely clean
and easily kept so. There is no paint,
no drapery, no crowd of little orna-
ments, no coming into the houses in the
footwear worn in the dusty streets. And
then the feeling of living in rooms that
can be turned into balconies and ver-
andas at moments notice, of having
walls that slide away as freely as do the
scenes on the stage, and let in all out
of-doors, or change the suites Of rooms
TO the shape and size that the within of
the day or the hour requires. The
Japanese are learning much from us,
some things not to their Improvement.
We might begin, with profit to ourselves,
to learn of them.-Newport Daily News.

An inherited tendency to longevity is
the primal qualification for reaching old
age, and this is something very differ
ent from good health or even a sound
constitution. 1t is simply a tendency TO
live long, and such person often has
more of a tenacity on life, though he is
sick and puny from childhood, than an
other person who is strong and robust.
Health and vigor may give more pleasure
and enjoyment to person in life, but it
does not always signify longevity. SO
strong is this tendency to longevity
among certain families that many OF the
beneficial orders and life insurance
companies attach more Importance to
the life Of parents and grandparents
than they do to the simple examination
of the applicants.
