Farmers in Good Fix-Schools Prospering.
 Johnston and Harmony.
 Bradford, Dec. 9.-(Special Correspond ence.) .)-Everything and everybody in this section seem to be moving placidly down the steam of time.
 The crops have all been gathered and the farmers are in a better condition than for years The price of cotton has relieved many burdens from the shoul- ders of the honest sons of toll, many debts have been paid, and in fact every one seems to be in good spirits.
 The political cauldron has not begun to stir up any strife as yet. The democrats are for harmony within the ranks. and am confident will indorse Johnston or any good democrat backed by the people. Johnston at this time seems to be the favorite, and we honestly believe that he will be the next governor of Alabama, and we see no reason why he should not.
 The Bradford academy seems to be on a boom. The enrolment to date numbers fifty-eight. so we have been informed This school is under the management of Prof. w. H. Hutchings new man, ana at one time Jefferson county teacher.
 This section of country is by far the best in Coosa county. We have clever industrious citizenshp-a people who are interested in educating their children. We have in our midst the old Bradford factory, located upon beautiful creek. with ample water power for turning many thousand splndes. The factory building is of solid masonry and in good condition. especially the roof and floors. This building has been closed for eigh- teen or twenty years. and the machinery stands just as it did on the day upon which 1t was closed. Just at this time we wonder why some enterprising cotton manufacturer has not investigated this building. for it appears to the writer an elegant place to start a considerable work. To an honest man with means this is a splendid chance for a profita- ble investment Bradford is only three miles from the Columbus and Western railroad Our nearest station is Kelly ton. We have three mails per week. Should any of your readers desire to secure a pleasant place in which to live and to educate their children come to Bradford Success to the State Herald.

Fishing About Tupelo.

Private John Allen has been trying to get the president to come to Mississippi, and by way of bait has been telling him how they fish in his state. There's noth- ing pleasanter or easier than the way we fish in Mississippi" says MT. Allen. We hire a band of colored gentlemen and they carry large jug of whisky to cool, shady nook by the river, and we follow them. We sit down in the cool, shady nook and watch the jug, while the col ored gentlemen cut a cord or two of brush and bushes. These are for a seine. When we are ready to begin. fishing each of the colored gentlemen takes a bunch of the brush in either hand, and, thus armed, they throw line of battle out in- to the bayou, or river, or wherever we chance to be fishing. We sit on the bank and tell them where to go. When all is ready the line of battle, with the brush under water, making very capital seine, swings round toward the shore in such a manner as to comb about an acre of water We get every fish that is fool enough to be in that acre. We get alli- gators, mud pouts. snapping turtles and all sorts of valuable fish, I would like very much to have the president come down and enjoy the sport for himself. So far, however, he has not been able to set time" The picture that MT. AL len draws Is such an enticinS one that there can be only one explanation of the presidents not having come. He is some thing of a fisherman and knows about fishing stories himself

INCONSISTENCIES ARRIVING.
ALarge Excursion Party Left Minneapolis and St. Paul Yesterday Bound for ThOrns-
 burg, Chiffon County.

A home-seekers' excursion train was advertised to leave Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn., yesterday, and it was un- derstood that quite large party of peo- pie came south on it.
 The rate for tickets was placed very low, and considerable missionary work in behalf of the south had been done among the denizens of that section.
 A large portion of those who intended coming on the train were to join the col ony of northwesterners at Thornsburg, in Chiffon county, and it is presumed they will reach that place either tonight or early in the morning. Already thrifty little village has been established at Thornsburg, which is about midway between Clanton and Jemison, on the Louisville and Nashville road, and con- siderable improvements have been made there. The founders of the colony are confident that by spring they will have several hundred if not thousands, of progressive northwesterners in that vi- cinity.
 The home-seekers who left Minnesota yesteEday will probably arrive here some time this afternoon. It is understood that the party is quite large one.
 Emigration Decreasing.
 Speaking of home-seekers coming south brings up the subject of emigration, which has done so much in past years in transferring Alabama families to Texas and the west. So great has been travel of this character to the west for the past few years that certain counties and To- calities in this state had almost com pletely changed their population, imml- grafton and emigration being about equal. The railroads, with attractive circulars, industriously placed before the people in the sections through which they tra- versed, describing the beauties and ad- vantages of the west and telling wonder full tales of wealth to be acquired there in a marvelously short period of time. These circulars had the desired effect, and year after year has seen the tide of travel westward go. But not so this sea- son. While there is no perceptible in- Aux from the west, the outflow has great ly decreased and the tide has turned south and southeastward from the north and northwest
 Speaking of this fact to a State Her aid reporter yesterday, Passenger Agent R. l., Newton of the Alabama Great Southern road said he had just returned from Sand mountain, where he had been to ticket a small party to Texas-the last so far as he knew, that were going west this season. He said emigration from the Sand mountain district. where 1t has been heavy for several years, had fallen off over 50 per cent this fall and winter, and by spring he expected the decrease to be even greater than that.
 He said the Alabama Great Southern had adopted the rule of trying to induce people to settle along it's line, instead of urging them to go west. In this they were succeeding admirably, fact evil denced by the old farms abandoned in former years being reclaimed and new lands being opened to cultivation.

Says the Tuscumbia North Alabamian
 Since it has become quite certain that Captain Johnston will receive the demo- cratic nomination for governor next year, some of the gold standard organs are urging a compromise, claiming that there must be material concessions for the sake of harmony in the party. We are willing to concede anything that does not stultify us, but when 1t comes to a repudiation of the ancient democratic doctrine of bimetallism, or any indorse- ment of the doctrine of a single gold standard we shall draw the line. The latter is unreasonable, unavailable, un- American and undemocratic. man makes no compromise when he oblgates himself to support the time-honored principles of his party, but he compro- mises himself out of the party when he indorses a doctrine dear to the hearts of his enemies and one peculiarly their own"

 Every democrat should remember that Capt.
