MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.


Oxford, Sept. 26.-The excitement
over the search for gold conducted by
the Indian woman, Mrs. Daniell, con-
tinues, and the best element of farmers
are trying to run her out of the county,
as not hand can be gotten to do any
farm work at all as long as she remains
in the vicinity. She returned last night
from trip out in the country and an
nounced that she had secured enough
money to pay the hands off. She wanted
the men to start to work again this
morning, but they refused to do so until
sho produced the money. She then
mounted goods box and proceeded to
"cuss out" the entire aggregation ac-
cording to the most approved methods.
Almost riot was created when she
told one of the men confidentially that
she had gotten $50, 900 out of the mound
when they were all asleep. The man
spread the report around and excitement
ran high for awhile, She became afraid
that violence would be done her and
went to house about i've miles distant,
where she now is. She claims that she
was mistaken in the mound, and is
going to open another ono just across
the river Many believe that she is
not mentally balanced. Certain it is,
she has no peer in the art of telling
yarns that would put Baron Munchau-
sen TO shame. One of her assertions
was that she opened mound near Pow
der Springs, Tenn, last year and got
therelrom $4,000 in gold. A letter
from Sheriff Clark, OF Granger county,
says that the woman was there and did
open mound, but got nothing and beat
the bands out of their wages, to boot
She has been disturbing element in
Lafayette county for over three weeks
and steps will be taken to getrid of her
There are about fifty of her dupes who
still firmly believe that she knows
where Chief Tohi Tuhi's money is con
cealed.

Maj Gen. Nelson Appleton Miles.

".
1t can literally be said that he fought
his way up the ladder. The outbreak
of the war found him clerk in a
crockery store in Boston. After six
months course in temporary military
school in that city, which was paid for
by his employer, young Miles went to
the front as second lieutenant in the
Twenty-second Massachusetts volun-
teers. He rose through successive
grades to that of major-general,
being breveted for conspicuous
gallantry in the battles OF the
Wilderness, Charlottesville and
Spottyslvania courthouse, and was
wounded three times. 1t the close
of hostilities he entered the regular
army as colonel of the Fortieth in
fantry. 1t is as an Indian fighter that
he is best known to the younger gen
,ration. He gained favorable distinc-
ton by his hard fighting and brill
liant campaign against the Com
manches, the Nez Perces, the Ban
nocks and the Sioux under Sitting
Bull. Kansas, Montana, Arizona and
New Mexico all voted him either
thanks or swords of honor. lie
brought about the capture of Sitting
Bull and subsequently compelled the
redoubtable Geronimo to surrender
He was in command of the troops dur
ing the turbulent times at Pine Ridge
and Wounded Knee, and it was his
management of that campaign that
undoubtedly prevented general
outbreak. More recently he distln-
guished himself by his course in com
manding the federal troops during the
railway strike and riots in Chicago
In 1880, he became brigader- general,
and in 1890 major-general. His last
command was that of the department
of the East with headquarters at New
| York

VIII MeIlOtuS GROW Ill
An Illinois gentleman was in Stark

responded with the editor of this paper
His object was to learn something of the
adaptability of this section for growing
melilotus. He was an apiarist, and
melilotus is noted honey plant. He
visited several farms in East Missis-
sippi, and was highly pleased with
what he saw and learned on his trip.
We questioned him closely as to his
knowledge Of alsike clover (another
honey planD, and he spoke in high
terms of it, both for hay and pasturage.
He thought it ought to succeed well
here, though he doubted whether il
would stand our summer drouth as well
as red clover; he thought it advisable tc
SOW some red clover with it. lie was
surprised to learn OF gentleman here
that this alsike clover on his farm had
stood the drouth better than the rec

The Hog Crop.

The hog crop in Mississippi commands
greater attention now than at any time
since the war. Every farmer has a
good supply coming on, and plenty of
fine meat will stock the lardcr when tho
winter comes. The unsuccessful cotton
crops for several years past have
changed to great extent the methods
on the farm. More corn and hay and
hogs are in evidence, and less cotton.
1t is claimed that the hog is the most
profitable crop that can be raised. So
little valuable food is required to raise
him, and certainly there is nothing more
necessary. 1t has been said that the
hog is the cornerstone to Southern agri-
cultural regeneration and prosperity
