Coming TO the South.
[Atianta Tournal,1

The trend of immigration from the
northwest to the south is already SET
tug IN and will be increased greatly
by the experience of inc people In sew
eral OF the states where droughis in
the summer and blizards In winter
make the conditions Of life hard. A
COLONY of one hundred people
left Harpers, Iowa, few days ago
to settle in Prairie county, Arkansas.
The Texas Midland railroad recently
arranged for the settlement on its fine
lands oftwo hundred farmers from the
northwest. IL is said that these will
soon be followed by five hundred other
settlers from the same religion, and the
authorities of the road claim that not
less than ten thousands Iowans will
move to Texas within the next five
months
Other immigrants besides those from
the west are coming into the south. A
party of New York citizens have about
perfected their arrangements to move
to Vermillion parish, Louisiana, and a
colony of sixty Belgians has just set
lied In Bolivar county, Miss. The south
is attracting more attention from
homsseekers of the desirable sort than
II ever did before.

tho members of the board Of Super
visors of this county aud their bonds

about $4,000, for, II is claimed, allow
anees made by their body not jusli-
fed ty the statute. The principal al
lowance Is that made 10 the magIs-
trate for costs as service BY them on
persons, who have been committed to
the county Jail to work out said COSTS.
II is also claimed that tho allowance
of $1,000 each year to the superintend-
ant of roads and bridges is in excess
OF the provisions Of the statute, which
says ".The board of supervisors may
elect such officer for two years at a
salary not exceeding $1,000" Suit
will be entered on this count also.

"VERY sOUfHERN.S

A movement is Oh foot to send car
loads OF food-eorn aud meat-from
Mississippi, Alabama Georgia, and
Louisiana, 10 he starving people of
Nebraska ard the Northwest. II is A
very noble charity, and fitting return
for the like kindness which has been
shown us in times OF past afiliction.
This year our cotton planters were COM
PEELED, in order to keep the wolf from
their own doors, to raise corn and
meat. They would not do so until
driven TO 1t by dire necessity and be-
holdl not only have they an album
dance for themselves, but have proved
that they could supply the rest of the
country, if necessary. The failure OF
the corn crop in the North has made
this staple very valuable. 1t brings a
good price, and with some concerted
action in regard to the marketing of
1t, would have poured stream of
much needed money into the South.
This was not anticipated, however.
when the crop was planted. We
planted II for home consumption, and
not for market, and now, with no
thought Of Yankee thrift, or our own
advantage in the misfortunes of 9TH
ers, we give it away with a careless
generosity which shows that Southern
character is still the same. There are
men-and nations-who seizs eagerly
upon an opportunity to Zurich them
selves from the necessities of their
fellows-who consider it a mark OF
superior business ability, aud con.
gratulate themselves aud are congrat-
ulated upon their astutaness and fore
sight. To narrow hearts and sordid
minds this want of shrewdness is o
matter for contemptuous pity. at ID

osity and se'f-forgctfunoss continue
to mark the South forever--her dis
tinguishing Characteristic in q selfish

peeted. The people were not prepared
for II, and the high as well as the low
ly suffered physically from the intense
cold. No preparations in the way of
heating houses had been arranged, aud
those who could afford il moved to
the warmth and comfort of hotels.
While those better situated made fires
IN the streets from barrels and dry
goods boxes, which they stood around.
From jacksonville clear to Tampa
the appearance of the orange groves
and truckers premises is described BY
Mr.. Maxwell as simply awful. The
bark Of the orange trees looked as If
they had been singed by forest fire,
and in many localities the trees have
burst from the effects OF The intense
cold.
Nearly 100000 worth Of oranges,
ruined by the frost, are rotting on the
trees, and early strawberries and yege-
tables are completely ruined. Already
relief committees are gathering seeds
TO be replanted by the truckers, and
early potatoes, poas. cabbages, beans,
tomatoes aud strawberries, harvested
annually IN February, will be several
months late this year. The pineapple
crop was unhsrmod, but flowers were
ruined all over the state, from end to
end AT this season of the year FIorI-

OF these attractions as tho dreariest
prairie of the west. In connection
with The freeze there were some pc
culiar business Transitions, continued
Mr.. Maxwell. "One man, who had re-
fused $1,000 for his orange crop on
the trees the day Of the night OF the
frost, lost every one of his oranges,
and another grower who had sold his
crop on the same day aud bewailed

Like The winter OF 1856.

Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph;
Capt. VIM. Adams, the Oldest licensed
engineer running out Of Pittsburg,
says that the present winter reminds
him of the winter of 1855. That year
he was captain of the steamer Cinoin-
natl, and the river froze over between
Christmas aud New Years day. He
says that he actually cut away from
his boat ice that was three feet four
inches thick. Ha says that when he
told some of bis river friends about 1t
they would not believe it until they
had measured 1t themselves. Capt.
Adams, who is at present plotting the
ferryboat W. Thaw, says that that
year people drove their teams across
the rivers from January to the latter
part of March, when the Monongahela
river broke up. The ice in that
stream was tho first 10 move out.

TWO LIVES SAVED.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, ofJunctlon City
Ill. was told by her doctors she had
consumption and that there was no hope
for her, but two bottles DR.. Kings New
Discovery completely cured her and she
says 1t saved her life. Mr.. Thos. Eg-
gers, 1870 Florida st. San Francisco, suf-
fered from dreadful cold, approaching
onsu mption, tried without result ev-
erything else then bought one bottle OF
DR.. Kings New Discovery and in two
weeks was cured. He is naturally
thankful. 1t is such result, of which
these are samples, that prove the won

Tho tragic death of Mr.. +. NJ. Acree,
which occurred in Memphis Oh Mon
day morning, was shock TO his ac-
quaintances aud friends. The coroner's
Jury rendered u verdict of accidental
killing, tho deceased having come to
his death by the accidental discharge
of pistol which he was cleaning. The

Memphis, where Mr.. and Mrs Acroe
were stopping. Mr.. Acrec was pros
pelous aud well known planter of

wife, was well known and highly es-
teeued in bis own county and in
Greenville. A theory of suicide was
at first advanced. but was entirely dis
proved by the evidence, which show
ed that Mr.. Acree was engaged In
cleaning pistol which was accidental
ly discharged, killing him Instantly.
