The Pioneers, Annual Picnic,

The Pfoneers' Annual Picnic.
There was big crowd present at the
Pioneers picnic, in McGinness grove,
last Saturday, the number IN attendance
being estimated all the way from 500 to
800. There were few people present
from Kldder and Logan counties, and
about as many from Burleigh as from
Emmons. The day was perfect, the
warmth of the SUMS rays beng tempered
by the canopy of leaves and boughs that
the grove provided. The program was as
follows:
Music.
Prayer--By Mr.. John Kurtz.
Music
Experiences of the Pioneers-Mr. John
Kurtz.
Music.
Dinner.
Music.
Oration--By Lieut.. Gov. Worst.
The program does not show much
diversi6cation, for the reason that these
annual picnics of the pioneers are in
tended to be simply a meeting of the
people, on one day of each year, to renew
their acquaintance. hold social converse,
discuss costly experiences since settlement
departed. There was plenty of music by
good voices, and here and there under
the trees parties of friends sat and talked
Of the struggles of the past and their
hopes for the future.
When dinner was announced the crowd
broke up into small parties and scattered
through the grove. The ladies had pro-
vided baskets that were well filled, and
the poor, misguided bachelors who were
present were beset on every hand by
hospltable invitations to dine. The
arrangements committee had provided a
plentiful supply of good ice-cold lemon.
ade, and it was free to all.
After dinner Lieut.. Gov. Worst spoke
to the people--many of whom had been
his friends and neighbors for years. He
made comparisons between this and
other new countries, and asserted his
belief that the hard times bad been less
severe in this section than in many
others. His words we're full of hope and
cheer for the settlers of community
whose joys and sorrows he had exper-
fenced for 50 many years.
A platform had been erected, and, to
good violin music furnished by Gil
Higbee and George Suverly, the young
folks took part in the merry dance.
When the time came for choosing a
president for the coming year, the choice
unanimously fell upon Mr.. j. N. Roop, who
came to the county in '8S. and who has
been one of the most enthusiastic in
getting up and making successful these
annual pioneer picnics.
The increased attendance this year
shows that the pioneers; picnic is des-
tined to be permanent yearly event.

In the Matter of Hay Permits.


Notice has been received by the writer
from the land commissioner of the
Northern Pacific stating that free hay
permits for Emmons county would be
sent at once. They will be sent direct to
the party named in the permit. There
will be two copies in the envelope received
from the company. One Is 10 be kept,
and the other is to be signed and returned
to the company. 1t has been impossible
for the writer TO answer all letters in re-
lation to hay permits, as there have been
100 of these letters received. 1t has also
been found impossible to grant every
request for permit, for the reason that
in some cases there have been q number
of applications for the same tract. In one
instance there were seven. But the per-
mits have been issued after getting as
much information as possible as to num-
Der of cattle, sheep or stabbed horses
heh by applicants, the hay land con-
trolled by them, etc. In other cases,
where all applicants were about equal IN
number Of stock, the application to be
sent in has been decided by. rattle"
Mistakes have probably been made in
some instances; but the writer has been
been if this permit buslness was paying
instead of "thank-you' job; and,
recognizing the right to fair treatment of
every one, we have striven as nearly as
possible to forget whether the applicant
was friend or an enemy. The company
issues these free permits for the sole and
only reason that they wish somebody
who lives here to get the benefit of the
hay on their lands; that some settler may
have the right to hold the hay until it is
ready for cutting, and not have yearly

There will undoubtedly be big crowd
present at the mouth Of Beaver Creek, on

on the Missouri Slope for a celebration
or an outing of any kind, when the grass

THE IRON MARKET.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 19.-Nothing has oc- cured in western iron markets during the week to break the monotony. Business goes along in way that would be fairly satisfactory, perhaps, if the trade had not been looking for better things after the new year. Iron is accommodating to some extent, both north and south, but the sur plus stock is less than it was year ago, and it would be soon absorbed if nn im- proVement in demand sprung up. When this improved demand is coming Is what a good many people would like to know

SOUTHWARK THEY FLY.

The wild geese of the North know when to wend they their way South, and the New England cotton men have more sense than geese. Every gale that sweeps from the North brings tidings of the Southward figh. of the cotton mills. In this South . ward exodus they will find the mama that is sweetsr than the dews of Hermon.
 The St. Louis Globe Democrat has been trying to turn the tide oi the cotton mill emigration to that city, and last week it sent staff correspondent to Lowell, Law renee, Fall River and other cotton mill ceutsrs of that section to hold hn the ada

TENNESSEE COAL AND IRON COM
 PANY

The above company is good barometer of the business situation in the South, hay ing it's notifications in Tennessee, Ala. bama and other Southern States. It is gratifying to know that its stock has re- covered from the depression of twelve months ago and that it is on the up grade. The Wall Street Journal of the 18th instant says the activity in Tennessee Coal and Iron yesterday was attributed to Blair & Co. The executive committee of the di- rectors met yesterday to consider some matters of routine, being chiefly the plac- ing of contracts for the mining of coal. An application was received by the committee for some facts and figures regarding the company, which will be used in an address beIore the British Iron and Steel Associa- tion. These facts will probably be fur nshed and will show that the company can now produce iron cheaper than any other concern in the world.
 Directors of the company are much pleased with it's condition. MT. Bowring, an official of the company, who is recog- nized as one of the best authorities in the country on the iron trade, left for the South yesterday afternoon, after a short visit here. He says that he can see man. y signs that the turn in the long lane of de- pressiop in the iron trade is near at hand, and is very enthusiastic abont the com- pany's prospects.

vantages of St. Louis. but the cotton mill men talked altogether about the South. They evidently had the South on the brain. What they said Is of the greatest interest, and is 0 prophecy of great import to the South.
 The correspondent found out that the movement is real. All New England is talking about it. The shrewd New Eng flanders want to get down in tho Southern field before it is occupied in advance of them. Within ten days five large com- panies have asked of the Legislature per mission to increase their capital stock. The increase of capital proposed is about "A, 900 ,000, and the avowed intention is to build and operate mills in the South. This is the corporation part of the movement. Individual stockholders of the New Eng land mills do not need any legislative per- mission and they by hundreds are seeking personal investments in the new mill en- terprises of the South.
 It Is rather difficult to reconcile the talk about moving South with the usual declara- tions of dividends by Northern cotton mills. From reliable information, how ever, says the correspondent of the Globe Democrat, it would appear that the cotton mills are not making any money at present. gentleman whose family has long been interested in the cotton manu- featuring business says that few of the dividends paid during the past year have been earned, but paid from sur pluses, but more often from borrowing. The mill people say, however, when questioned, that they have earned or 6 per cent for the six months, and declared or per cent in dividends as the case may be. The life of cotton mill machinery is about ten years, and it frequently happens that com paratively new machinery is thrown out to make room for more im- proved patterns. This is one reason why it will not be so difficult for the mill com- panies to transfer their operations to the South as fast as they conclude that iJ will be more profitable. The candid mill men at all of the interior points in New England admit, when they are frank, that it is very difficult for any but the most modern mills to make any money, and one of the requisites for prosperity in cotton mill is that it keep abreast of the times in the matter of Improvements.

A COTTON MILL.
Mir. B. B. Conner Wants the People
 of Birmingham
To Wake Up and Have One Erected-Some Timely
 Suggestions.

To the Age Herald:
 "Go to the ant, thou sluggard, consider her ways and be wise.
 This aphorism brought by the Bible through all time is no less a great fact now than when the Jews, by individual and national industry, made glorious the shingly sides of Mount Sinai and gathered such a harvest from around the seq of Gal flee and down the valley of the Jordan that has been wonder to every ago. Just in proportion as any town or country has fol- lowed the example of the ant, just in that proportion have they prospered and grown rich. Mercenary troops never saved a country, and that town waits forever that waits to be built with foreign capital. The citizens of Birmingham have dwarfed their energies by waiting for something to turn up. Every community makes It's own surroundings, and if we would take the ants example, unite our efforts, everybody do something, we could make this part of Jones valley teem with industry, with thrift, with success. In the proposed cot ton mill if every body will delegate to every. body else everything except the talk and glory the mill will not be built. Capital is like flock of sheep, timid by nature, but let one break through a wire fence into a rich pasture and the flock will go through, even if they lose some wool ln the attempt.
 
 run, have paid, no matter where located. There is not cotton mill in Jefferson county.
 Money beyond expectancy's dream flowed into the iron boom and now staggering under the reaction frightens of the investing prospector, making 1t doubly necessary for the home people to bestir themselves as nest of ants. North and South Carolina, perhaps the foremost states of the south, except Florida, are attracting more attention today than all the states of the union because of their successful cotton factories, all built by home people and home money. We can build and run mill cheaper than they. Our lumber, brick and lime are cheap. We re at the mouth of the coal mine. This makes coal, that great element of daily expense, cheaper than anywhere. We have contiguous the greatest variety of cotton. The Southern railroad, crossing in its westward reach the Warrior, Tom bigbee, Sunfower and Yazoo rivers, is anxious to bring all of it's cotton this way on account of tue long haul. We have the cotton otthe mountain, of the piney woods, of the hills, of the valleys and Of the Mis- sissippi delta, all varying in fiber, and can thus manufacture any class of yarns or goods. We are at the crossing of the rail- roads of the state. These are advantages possessed by no other place, and firmly believe that 10 ,000 spindle yarn mill, put up with care and with the best machinery, would succeed at once, and pay better dividends than anything we could do. Put up such a mill and make it a success, then other mills would come just as easy as cars run down grade. Yours respectfully,
 B. E. CoMER.

KILLED FOR CURSlNG.
Jim Tipton Abuses the Court and in Attempting to Flee
 Is Shot.

Jim Tipton, a negro miner, was killed at Mary Lee, six miles north of Birmingham, Saturday evening while trying to elude arrest.
 John White, white miner, aged 30, fired the fatal shot.
 Itappears from all that can be learned of the affair that White had been deputized by Ed Paschal, notary public, to arrest Tipton. This White had done.
 While in court, it is said, Tipton was very abusive to the court and audience, using the vilest epithets at his command. When he had done this the negro ran out at the door and made off at lively gait. White followed closely behind and, It is said, shot the fleeing negro with Il Colt 8 revolver, the ball entering just under the right shoulder and ranging upward, com- ing out at the left side of the neck. Ilpton died very short time afterwards.
 Tipton, it is said, had been in fight with another negro, and 1t was for this he had been ordered arrested. The notary public was writing out the warrant for him when he began curSing.
 The notary public empaneled jury of six men Sunday morning to investigate the killing, who, after hearing some testi- mony, returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death by falling and breaking his neck.
 At the conclusion of the investigation preparations Tor burying the negro were begun, and some Of his friends feeling in- dignant over the matter, came to the city and reported it to the sheriff. Deputy Sheriffs Henry Cole and John Burgin went out to Mary Lee and stopped the burial proceedings. White was found and placed under arrest and brought to the county jail. The body of the deceased was also brought in and Dr. Gillespie, county physician, held an autopsy over it.
 Coroner Dusen nberry will investigate the killing.
