Cottonwood Correspondence.

Wax & Brown have a good dis
play of Xmas goods in their store.
Sabbath was a stormy day in
Cottonwood, and the hardest freeze
of the season was on that night,
ice about ono inch thick forming
on still water.
Messrs. Nick and VIM. Ingram
have opened the saloon formerly
occupied by Wood & Cone. They
will remove their families to Cot
tonwood as soon as suitable resi-
dences can be secured.
Rain seems to be the order of the
day. The ground is thoroughly
saturated with moisture, which
should ensure excellent crops for
1894, providing the fall grain is not
injured by too much rain.
Mr.. f. Schuinhalt will soon COM
mence the construction of a dwell
ing on his lots in Rhoads' Addition.
Mr.. Schuinhalt is the contractor on
the new school house and is Just
the man the town needs.
f. t. Tannatt now represents
some of the best and strongest Fire
insurance companies in the world,
and is prepared to furnish policies
on Farm or Mercantile risks as low
as any standard company.
Messrs. Nuxoll & Stubbers have
received some beautiful samples of
carpets which they propose to sell
as cheap as they do the rest of their
goods. They also expect to add
several other lines to their stock in
the near future.
Profitable investment offers itself
to some one TO erect residences in
Cottonwood. Every residence is oc-
cupied and many others could be
rented at good round figure. No
thing very costly is needed las room
to live is what is needed most.
We are informed that Mr.. L. j.
Hogan will soon commence the
construction of dwelling ON his
lots near Oh. Cones residence. Who
is to occupy the same is a question
that is interesting many of the res
idents. Mr.. Hogan says it will be
for rent, however.
Samuel Goldstone has purchased
the two lots on the corner of Main
and Foster streets, of Messrs. Ho-
gan < Smith. The building there
ON, formerly occupied by the Re
port will be removed to Mr. Smiths
lot on Main street, between the
drug store and Smiley building.
Mr.. Goldstone contemplates the
erection of a fine store building on
his corner as soon as spring opens.
The plans are already in the hands
of the architects.
Considerable interest has been
manifested in the various reports
received from the Carlin party, and
their statement when found has
been the theme for much discussion
in idle hours. The leaving of one
of their party alone on the trail.
without first supplying him with
at least the appearance of a camp
where his body could have been
located by his friends and the pos
sibility of a rescuing party finding
him, is almost unanimously con-
demned by those who are familiar
with that portion of the mountains
in which the unfortunate man was
left.

1t appears that the most popular
and uidely-read novel writer of
the day is Albert Ross, who has
sold $4,000 copies of his seven or
eight novels. According to Englis b
authority, this novel is not the only
book, however, which sells in such
enormous quantities, and a time is
recalled in London, only a few
years ago, when copies of the Koran
were as eagerly sought for as the
novel to-day. 1t is difficult at all
times to say who it is that reads
30 much, but a writer has recently
analyzed the question about Mr..
Ross, and has decided that his
novels are only seen in the hands
of shop-girls. errand boys,
mechanics, and sewing women.
From this, the writer argues, we
can form some idea of what is the
"literature of the mass" "Those
who for their SINS" he remarks,
shave read the latest novel of the
writer in questionable Garston
Bigamy-need be at no loss in
determining the secret of his sue
cess. In the first place, he has a
simple and direct style. He indul-
ges in very little fine writing.
Some passages of sentiment are
done in a way to make one shrek,
but, for the most part, the story
moves straight on.

The heAdvance in Cotton.

We take the liberty of publishing
the following private letter from
Mr.. Alfred B. Shepperson not only
because every word of it is true
but because tbe planters of the
south should not plant cotton next
year to the neglect of necessary
grain and food crops. What Mr..
shepperson said last year should
be repeated in the hearing of every
southern planter, 'None but
lunatics would 60 on planting full
crops of cotton and run the risk of
again selling it below cost of
production, to the neglect of food
crops which they would not have
the money to buy in the event of
another big cotton yield next year
and low prices" Southern plan
ters have their fortunes and their
prosperity in their own hands. If
they..plant wheat, corn, oats, hay
and garden crops that can be
raised in abundance, they and not
the spinners can dictate the price
of cotton.
The short crop of this year
shows conclusively that the price
of cotton is to large extent
controlled by the supply, and
Mr.. shepperson wrote line upon
line and numerous letters to prove
that the present crop was short.
He ftly urged curtailment OF
acreage and when he was satisfied
that this had been effected through
out the south, be published in the
East and in Europe the news of
the short crop. He did more than
any other man to disseminate the
news and convince the cotton con.
suming world that the crop was
short in order to put up prices
while cotton was in the hands of
the planter. This was with him a
labor OF love. He is entitled to
the lasting gratitude of our people
for his unsel6sh and patriotic
labors to help the southern farmers
out of their financial distresa,
brought aboutin the main by the
low price of cotton.

tion of having worked in the same

Abraham Lincoen AS A Poet.

"I noticed some time ago an
article in the Globe-Democrat in
regard to some doggerel rhyme
written by Lincoen when he was
a boyu' said Maj. Crabshaw to a
Louis Globe-Democrat,, man. "I
knew Lincoen very we'll in his
fatboating days. He was always
writing doggerel, and his acquain-
tances supposed, he would ulti-
mately go for a poet as Will
Carleton would say. I remember
once spending an evening at the
house of farmer in Sangamon
county named Hicks. 'Old Man
Hicks as he was called, had three
or four buxom daughters, the
future president was a great
favorite with them. he came in
duridg the evening". accompanied
by two other young men almost
as ungainly as himself. We had
apples and cider gingerbread and
honey. Now said old man Hicks,
IF we had q fiddle we could have
a dance,' Abe suggested that one
of the girls might furnish the
music by whistling, but this did
not meet with her approval. Pretty
SOON we missed Abe rs they all
called him. In a few minutes he
returned with two big cornstalks
Everybody was on the quivivc, but
not word could they get out OF
Abe. He sat down by the fireplace
took out his jack knife and went
to work. In ten minutes he had
q cornstalk fiddle constructed and
he called out: Choose your
partners. We were soon on the
floor, and Abe played the sqeaky
instrument and sang while we
danced. He sang whatever chanced
to come into his mind, improYis.
