MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.

Meeting Of Cotton Growers Association.
The Mississippi Cotton Growers Pro-
tective Association met at jackson last
week. The attendance was small, but
large enough to dispose OF the business
In hand. All delegates seemed to con-
cur in the opinion that the cotton
acreage will be reduced from 20 to 25
per cent w. w. Stone, president OF
the association, presided.
Mr.. Leblanc, OF Pike County, offered
the following resolution, which was
adopted:
Resolved, That the reports made 10
this convention by the delegates, and
letters read from farmers throughout
the State, indicate that there will this
year be a reduction OF the acreage
planted In cotton within the State OF
Mississippi OF from 20 to 25 per cent"
There were some interesting remarks
by Hon. G. f. Hooker, ex-member OF
Congress, deploring the condition OF
agriculture, and forcibly advocating the
encouragement OF cotton factories. The
following resolutions, offered Dy j. B.
Yellowly, OF Madison County, we're
adopted:
Resolved, first, That in the opinion
OF this convention. the recent advance
In the price Of cotton Is without good
cause and has been brought about BY
manipulators OF the market for pur-
pose, that purpose being to check the
growing sentiment favoring a reduction
Of acreage to DO planted in cotton for
the coming crop and by encouraging
the production Of large crop, secure a
heavy surplus at the end Of the season
to weigh down the prico.
"Second-That to insure the produc-
tion Of the staple articles or life. bread
and meat, the farmers OF Mississippi
should increase thoir crop at loast 3sk
per cent.
"Third-That economy should be the
watch-word and self-denial the practice
Of every farmer during the present year.
"Fourth-That no delusive phantom
of hope based upon fictitious advances
In the value Of products, or upon the
idea that be may outwit his neighbor.

we'll established principle that all farms
should be self-snstaining

Make great endings sometimes. Ailments
that we are apt to consider trivial often
grow, through neglect. into atrocous NAL
aides, dangerous in themselves and pro-
ductive of others 1t is the disregard of
the earlier indications of i'll health which
leads to the establishment of all sorts of
malades on a chronic basis Moreover,
there are certain disorders incident to the
season, such as malaria and rheumatism,
against which it is always desirable to
fortify the system after exposure to the
conditions which produce them. Cold,
dampand miasma are surely counteracted
by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. After
you have incurred risk from these intlu-
ences "a wneglassful or two of Hostel

by ignoring the local merchant should
do so by all means, for this would
indicate to the merchant that he. in
stead OF dealing with local farmers,
would do better to send away for all
the butter, eggs, fruit and grain that
he might need in conducting his
business; and so the local merchant
and the local farmer could, in the
final absence of anything else to do,
quietly contemplate the vast good
they had done in tearing down their
own and in building up the resources
Of other localities, and thus develop
the beautiful spirit Of unseltishness
that is so universally despised. In
the PRONUNCIATION of this new faith
the people are not left alone in their
struggle. Monopoly missionaries,
paying half fare or riding on passes,
call at every door and in few min
utes conversation convince the most
conservative and orthodox that old
familiar business methods, with mu-
tual accommodations, ETC., are only
frauds and fallacies to be abolished,
and that the department store, as the
perfection Of commercial equity, be
relied on All needed articles can
be ordered, and when the car arrives
at the station the goods can be deliv-
cred in quiet, orderly manner, and
all the activity and tumult incident
to business town avoided, thus af-
fording an uninterrupted season for
calm contemplation and for discus
sion of the great national questions
OF protection and reciprocity, their
beneficial influence on national, and
deadly effect on local, commerce.

MIR. INJ1JN,

Along about the time of the mid
summer full moon the aboriginal
American seems possessed by some
active spirit to do something out of the
ordinary way OF things. In the good
old days, not so very long ago, he
would, without any special motive or
reason either, start off on one OF
these something expeditions, and
unprovoked murder OF men, women
and children would be the wind up.
The dominant idea with them seems
to be to go to places and do things
contrary to the laws made and pro
vided So II the law required them
to go to Jackson's Hole and kill all
the elk in the Baliwick, they would
immediately proceed to get up and
get themselves over into Idaho or
Utah and kill sheep. Traditional
nobleness Of character Ia la Cooper
to the contrary Notwithstanding is a
traditional myth, and, AS matter of
fact, no meaner specimens of human
ity exist, and about the only thing
they are good for is to get up an
excitement occasionally and make
Uncle Sam spend few dollars osten-
sibly for the protection of frontier
families, but really to protect the red
gentleman, and the New England
philanthropists will howl at western
lnhumanlty, forgetting conveniently
for the time such little incidents as
the Pequots at Weatherfeld and
Fairfield, where their now salnted
ancestors killed all they could and
sold all they could round up alive as
slaves; and then through their blind
ing tears, shed out of pity for Mr..
and Mrs. ~ (or the expense incurred
