exact truth about the kindness of the
southern people in their treatment of
northerners. 1 have all along received
exceedingly courteous treatment from
my neighbors, but, as the old saying de-
clares, "a friend in need is a friend in

when, by accident, fire broke out and de-
Stroyed about eighty rods of my fences.
A general turnout of my neighbors stop

rebuilt, mostly with new rails, by these
generous people.

think l can safely state that no less than
100 new settlers have located in this
neighborhood of DeKalb county since I
came here, and they are all as much
pleased as I am. The rush of people
landing at Valley Head appears to be an
almost every day occurrence. They come
both by railroad and by covered wagon
trains. Your local agent, MIR. w. o. w.
Paine, is kept so busy looking after, car
ing for and locating the arrivals that he
has no time left to do anything else.

tention to the fact that in your CORE
spondence with homeseekers / do hope
you will not neglect to give notice that
there is a great opening here for men
with means sufficient to start a stock
farm. We need better breeds of horses,
better sheep and hogs, and we need very
badly canning factories. cider mills, and
also the roller process grist mills, which
will give us a home cash market for
wheat and thereby encourage the farm
ers to raise more wheat.

may be as successful in happily locating
landseekers in future as you have been
in the past. Yours respectfully,

fore you the report of Messrs. John A.
Miner and our city engineer Mr. Julian
Kendrick, in reference to the practlca-
bility of building canal westward from
this CITY to a juncture with the warrior
river.
This preliminary survey was ordered
by me upon the advice and Recommended
ton of parties in Washington interested
in the matter, and for the purpose ol
avoiding delay by having the govern
ment make such preliminary survey
This report is of such a decided and val
liable character that l feel greatly en-
Outraged as to the favorable outcome
of this movement.
Tn this connection desire to call your
special attention to the fact, and to Off
cially thank Mr. John A. Miner for his
valuable aid and assistance without
charge in this survey. 1t was not only a
generous, but an exceedingly puphc-
spirited act, for this distinguished engi-
neer to thus give without charge to the
city and district such valuable and ex-
pert assistance.

would be about twenty-seven miles In

The second route examined would be-

in the first route. then follow down Viii

The State Herald this morning takes
pleasure in presenting to it's readers the
picture of Hon. j. M. Cunningham, one
of Lauderdale's most highly esteemed
citizens.
Mr.. Cunningham has twice represent
ed his people in the lower house and once
in the senate, and while he carries IN
his sleeve a Damascus blade, 1t is for the
defense of the rights Of his people IN
honor of which victory has crowned his
every political contest.
Among the many things he has done
for his people and the state was the In
PRODUCTION of bill in the session of 1883
SO appropriating 100000 to the public
schools, which was passed after a stub
born fight. In 1S76-77 he introduced and
had passed the woodworking and black
smith bill, which gives a prior lien on
their contracts.
Mr.. Cunningham now comes before the
people of Alabama as a candidate for
commissioner of agriculture. He Is not
only successful farmer, but one of the
most successful stock raisers in the state.
His personal and political record is above
reproach,- and Alabama has not more
worthy son for my office he may seek.
