Dear Mr.. c, Wealth-You will hope
pardon this intrusion upon your valu
able sheet, but | am in the incipiency al
a correspondent, Am here in G'wood
having just arrived from Circle City
near Klondike, and am, fuller of expert
ence than ~goldnuggets. The fairy gold
en- tales of Klondike reminds one Of the
matrimonial mine "of the L. S. upon
which many is the gal been fooled, and
50 It's with Klondike. I struck and
worked one of the biggest mines i'll that
far off fairy field and that was "a mind
to come back home to my ma, and
when | stalded i'll Cillcut Pass if eve a
boy wanted to see his ma in his life
twas me-. Well Mr.. Editor, | have
staked my claim here in G'wood and
have gone into the Pulling Business
But for three weeks the business has
been pulling me, Any grade and length
from - to I t2-32 G'wood has some {
or 7 Pullors, and they all resemble only
in n respect that is they are white
folks and they all differ in one opinion
and that is in the length Of Long Staple
Cotton, In buying they pull it off, and
in selling they pull it Oh. SO strange
and complicated is the Phenomony Of
man. Cotton is one of the greatest
producers of wealth we have in the
sunny south and produces most of its
wealth after it leaves the brawny hands
of the sun burnt fathers of the Missis
sippi Delta, who has labored by day and
dreamed by night Of the 1G to n silver
dollars he never will count. My heart
goes in to the honest farmers Of Missis-
sippi. and Abe Lincoln said "the Lord
must have loved the plain white folks
as he made 50 many of hem. Wen
Mr.. Editor making a big change in the
subject matter of this dissertation on the
honest farmers of the Delta, will say
that the Oldest citizens Of wood laid
the foundation for a great city when
they laid its corner stone. Then put
upon its head a crown of Progress. Up
on its feet shoes Of Prosperity, and cloth
ed it with the mantle Of hope which
springs eternal in the human breast, A
lively form looking proudly to Heaven
for a wheel and foot bridge across the
mighty Yazoo. The bridge is coming
in plaintiye tones Of Need. Build me
build me ooh men of Leflore
Mr.. Editor, time is money and admit
ting same to be a fact, ] am one OF the
"Cnsarian Princes of Gwood, and dai-
" / am amused with the boyish s%tansas,
oh Mr.. johnson turn me loose.
Ihaye no money but "a good eScuse.,'
Who hit me, who hit me. Now Mr..
Editor if I have said any thing to offend
the feelings of any man over q times
in this epistle, then am glad of it and
can assure him twas purely accidental
Mr.. Editor ''Tempus fugit'' To be
continued in my next.
Yours
Truly,

10 sec Florida is pleasure; to visit 1t
is a privilege; but to spend fortnight
within it's borders is an epoch. There Is
n grcat satisfaction in witnessing the
ripening of tropical fruits in their own
native land, and a peculiar joy in wrestl,
ing with old oceans waves when lakes
ma rivers at home are all icebound. One
appreciates the wonders of modern lnVen'
tion and railroad development upon
leaving the neighborhQod OF good skating
one day and finding himself IN the vicinity
of good bathing the next. Yet this can
be done, and the man who prefers hunting
or fishing will take his accoutrelnhnt'
along with him, for Florida extends u
cordial invitation to all sportsmen.
Whoever would exchange for two weeks
the uncertain climate of the North for the
delightful and Spring like sunshine OF
Florida should take the personally, CON
ducted Jacksonville tour OF the Eenn'
sylyania Railroad which leaves Now YORK
by special train January 26. Excursion

Washington at present is the cynosure
of all eyes; not only because it is the
Nations Capital and of the interest which
attaches to the deliberations of Congress,
but the brilliant Presidential reception
on New Years Day formally opened the
season of fashionable festivities, and it
has now become the great social centre
of the country. Brilliant minds waiving
for the time the cares of government,
abandon themselves to the gay whirl of
the social world. Receptions, dinners,
balls follow each other with bewildering
rapidity.
The state OF the Cuban question and
the possibilities of Congressional action is
also claiming attention, and the never
dying interest which attaches to the many
departments of the Government is at
tracing its usual number of visitors.
The three-day personally conducted tour
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
which leaves New York January2l, affords
the best opportunity of visiting the
Notonal Capital at this season. The
party will be under the care and guidance
of an experienced tourist agent, and the
programme in Washington has been pre-
pared with an accurate knowledge OF the
location and best time to visit each of the
principal points Of interest.
Round trip tickets, including railroad
transportation in, each direction and &C
commodations at the best Washington
hotels. will he sold at the following rates;
From New York, Sl450; Trenton, $l3,75;

Mr.. Bullitt, of Pennsylvania, spoke
against Mr.. Fowler's amendment, urging
that it will not be feasible to appoint u

"On that committee you want men OF

not to be deferred from doing their duty,

SHERMAN IS THE MAN.
The Ohio Statesman Will Head
McKinley's Cabinet.
GOSSIP PANENT THE WAR PORTFOLIO

General Russell A. AIger. Of Michigan,
and Senator Hawley, Of Connecticut,
Now Spoken of for the Succession to
Secretary Lamont.
WASHINGTON, Jan. H.-Speoulstion as
TO who would be the Ohio member in the
cabinet Of the presdentelect has persist.
emily lowered about the names Of Sena-
tor Sherman and Hon. Mark Hanna, the
chairman of the national committee the
former being mentioned in connection
with the state and treasury portfolio and
the latter in connection with the head of
the treasury and postoffiee department 1t
has been known for some time, however,
that Mr. Hanna's ambition was a seat in
the United States senate. The retirement
of Ohio's veteran senator to accept the
position of premier In Mr.. McKinley's
cabinet will probably open the way to
qualification of this ambition.
Mr.. Sherman's term as senator would
expire two years hence, March a, 1879.
The vacancy created by Mr. Sherman's
retirement will be filled by appointment
by Governor Bushnell, pending the as
sembling of the Ohio legislature in Janu-
ary, 1898. 1t Is understood that the old
war in Ohio between the Sherman and
Foraker factions has ceased, and that
complete harmony has been restored
among the leaders, This carries with 1t
the strong implication that Governor
Bushnell will appoint Mr.. Hanna to the
vacancy in the senate when Mr.. Sherman
steps out to assume the grave responsible
tiles connected with the head of the de-
partment of state.
Senator Sherman declines to make any
statement relative to the important an
nouncement which was made last night,
