NOTICE 10 INVENTORS.

There was never q time In the histo~
~ OF our country when the demand for
inventions and improvements In tho
arts and sciences generally was 20
great "a now. The conveniences Of
mankind In tho factory and Workshop
the household. on the farm, and in Of
fetal life, require continual accessions
TO the appurtenances and Implements
OF each In order to save labor, time
and expense. The political change In
the administration of government does
not affect the progress OF the American
inventor, whe being on the alert, and
ready to perceive the existing defi-
ciencies, does not permit the affairs of
governm TO deter him from quickly
conceiying the remedy TO overcome
existing discrepancies. Toe great care
can not be exercised in choosing .
competent and skillful attorney to pre-
pare and prosecute m application for
patent. Valuable interests have boon
lost and destroyed in innumerable in
stances by the employment of incom-
petent counsel, and especially Is this
advice applicable to those who adopt
the NO patent, no pay" system. In
ventOrs who entrust their business to
tnls class OF attorneys do so 1T immi.
nent risk, as tho breadth and strengths
OF the patent is never considered in
view OF quick endeavor to get an al
lowance and obtain the fee then due.

On tho 18th Of December va local
left Iuka by private conveyance to
Riverton, Ala. where We spent Friday
afternoon ana Saturday until noon in
specting the town and its surround
ings. Here we met two OF our former
townsmen. w. g. Hubbard and A. b.
Patterson, who are now doug bu,i.
ness there.
while there. We taken in the Canal
improvements now under headwav
and being pushed by contractors under
government supervision. At the pres
emit time there are about one hundred
hands engaged in excavatiug, and
erecting the framing for large derricks
to unload stone for tho walling OF the
locks. The hands work eight hours a
day at twelve and half cents per
hour. By spring there will be en-
ployment for several hundred stone
inasons. This is great undertak ing
and will be lasting job for the next
ten or fifteen years.
Through the courtesy Of Capt. Van
dergrift commander Of the Golden Rod,
and Lieutenant Crockett, Lighthouse
Inspector Of the 18th Division, we
boarded the Golden Rod, one of tho
prettiest boats on the waters and
were soon out OF sight OF Riverton,
travelling down the Tennessee river.
1t has been our pleasure to travel on
all kinds of boats but the Golden Rod
leads them all. her machinery is of the
finest and latest design, not speck OF
dust can be seen, and her engine room
as neatly fitted up as any parlor with
mirrors SO one can see themselves at
every turn. The engine room is pre-
sided over by Mr.. Handlev, fine and
expert mach1nest who does all of his
own work aboard OF the boat. The
Golden Rod has steel hull and PEI.
fectly water tight, and skins over the
water as light and graceful as swan.
At Pitssburg landing we left the river
and Travelled overland some twenty
miles oy private conveyance
In our trip through Hardin and
Wayne county we saw a great deal
corn--thousands of bushels which can
be bought at 80 cents per bushel.
Young mules are plentiful and are
largely raised by the farmers. Pork
in abundance can be bought at from
three to five cents, butter at eight.
Along the creeks OF Horse, Turkey,
Indian and other streams there are
fine farms, neat residences, good
barns, well erected fences, some made
from stone, wire, boa-ds-brt our O d
fashioned worm fence predominates,
but its corners are trimed cut and is

we saw fields sown down to grain.

and homsny is plentiful and scarcely
any cotton Is raised, there is that feel

Open Letter to Hon. LasIy
Rodgers.


Dear Sir:-As YOU are a member of
the Legislature of Miss. representing
Tishomingo county. and your official
acts are public and the people have a
light to critlcise or inquire into such
matters as concern them, we therefore
take this method Of asking you through
the columns of the REPORTER few
pertinent questions in regard to a csr-
tain document, which it is stated was
drawn up by your hand and placed in
the hands of Mr.. G. L. Gardner. of
Highland, Miss. The document being
a petition to the Legislature for q
special bill to grant said G. L. Gard
ner free license to sell home made
wine by the pint and upwards. The
document set forth the Affections OF
MIR. Gardner, and further states that
"he has no other means OF making a
support"
First-Do you expect to present and
plead for such bill granting Gardner
free license, when his nearest neigh
boris are opposed to samee
2d-Wcu'd 1t be just and right for
the State to grant any man free license
to sell that which would make men
drunk and then punish them for the
crime Of drunkennesse
3d-Is 1t to the interest OF the State
to build up one man on the downfall
OF manyP
4th-Would this vino grocery or
"blind tiger" be OF any benefit to the
State, to The county, to the community
or to any individual, except Mr.. Gard
nerp
5th-Will this petition as others Of
like nature, be published in county
paper?
If not will you defend same through
the columns of Reporter
