new colony formed in Madison county
few years ago by emigrants from the
North, from which we made the fol-
lowing interesting extract:
''What would northern farmers think
of hay making the first week of May,
about the time their pastures are ready
for usey In the Highland Colony the
first cutting of native grass begins at
that time. The same fields can be cut
two or three times during the season.
Although the weather is warm for
weeks before, there is nothing up to
that date like the heat necessary for
good haying weather in the north.
Though hard to understand, it is never
theless fact that things grow faster
and mature earlier here than north.
yet, until late in the summer, the wealth
eris not so hot as during the seasons
of corresponding plant growth in north

POLITICS.

answer: No. Southern people are as
kind and hospitable as can be, welcom-

If northern people get into trouble in
the south on account OF politics, it will
be because they violate the golden rule
or overstep the bounds of common cour-
tesy. AS good friend as we ever had
was an officer in the confederate army,
and for many months a prisoner of the
federal forces. We have spent many
hours discussing the war, its horrors
and effects, but never a word OF bitter-

he was wounded and reduced from af-

old soldiers and members OF the G. A.

iirdliness as in the old home"

Substantial Improvements

The people living of the line OF the
Illinois Central Railroad fact, IA few
living here in Sardis, and at other
places on the road-have any idea at
least not a correct one of the amount
Of work that is being done on the track
way. We confess that we were not a
little surprised the other day, on walk
ing up the road half q mile ormore, to
see what ws did see. We found the
roadbed being considerably raised, new
ties substituted for decayed ones, and
all given solid and substantial fouuda-
tion OF gravel, which Is hauled $50 miles.
Several gangs OF laborers. under
competent bosses. have been working
diligently for many weeks, elevating
the tracks. distributing TIE gravel and
fastening the new ard heavy rails Sc
curely. Not only all this, but the side
bitches have been cleaned out, broad
cned, and deepened, 80 that altogether
the road Is being made as subtantial
and really beautiful as it is possible
for skill ard work to make it. Well
may the Illinois Central people be proud
Of this little hundred-mile link be-
tween Memphis and Grenada, of their
great system. We are all proud OF it
down this way, and we are more than
glad to see the work OF Improvement
going on. As We have said several
times heretofore. it not only means one
of the best and most substantial roads
in the world, but at the same time one
that will be the most pleasant to travel
on. for it will be free from the annoy
ance OF dust .--Sardis Reporter.

The proba bilities are that the great shade

evidence throughout the country on the
evening of the Sth- Both factions of the
democracy will observe the anniversary

one faction inspiration for continu-
ing the fight for sound money. and equally
at the boards of the other faction for con-

sides of the question-something that he
was never known to do while in the flesh.
1t is difficult to follow those who claim
that II Gen Jackson were alive today he
WOULD be a free silver man. There is no
authority for the claim in any of his state
papers. or in any of his official acts as

his day. and out of that performance has
grown some undiscriminating praise about
his standing for the people as against what
is called the domineering power of money.
But not single financial feature of that

piled TO this silver question. Gen. Jack

the other.
How he would meet it is. of course
question He had very direct way of
looking at matters He settled a number
of important questions in very straight
forward and satisfactory manner. He
never yielded to clamor. He never
led or counseled a crusade against
the rich. He was a plain man and stood
for the people. and he was a national man
in all of his delverances. He frowned upon
sectionalism in all forms. and he would
have gone to war 10 preserve the Union as
readily any man who ever sat in the
White House.
If he were alive today. therefore. two
or three things about this silver question
would be likely to engage his earnest atteh-
tion. In his direct way he would probably
want to know about converting 53 cents
worth CT silver bullion into a legal tender
dollar He would be very curious about
the arraying of one portion of the people
against another. and the sectional cry
would arouse him at once. And So as he
favored sound money while he lived. and

of him as belonging in his influence to tine

Suicidal Novelties,

A season of oddities in the ways and
means of seh-destruction has opened, and
hardly a week passes without some fresh
novelty in the suicidal line. Not long ago
a man in Chicago swallowed poison, but
for the benefit of medical science took
careful note of his symptoms until his
mind and fingers failed together under the
influence of the deadly drug. This de-
liberate record of the sensations of an
preaching death may be of value as a.
curiosity. but it is dubious whether suffi-
cient reliance can be placed on such testi-
mony to render 1t of use to science A Yer
mont suicide sought to contribute to the
spectacular effect Of the drama of life and
death rather than to the store Of useful
knowledge He carefully posed before a
camera and so adjusted the instrument
that an exposure was effected the instant
his finger pressed the trigger of the pistol
from which bullet sped on its fatal er-
rand. This resulted in a CHASTITY negative
depicting the scene of suicide, which was.
fortunately. broken in the excitement
which followed its development The re-
cent and still continuing bank failures and
embarrassments are contributing to add to
the list of self murders, and the record of
the past month is startling In the fire.
quency of such tragedies. One of the un-
fortunate financiers sought death in a
church; another walked barefooted to the
waterside and there plunged to oblivion,
leaving trail of torn scraps of paper to
Indicate the place of his suicide; within a
few hours a banker in a nearby city
drowned himself in pond so shallow that
he was forced to grasp the weeds at the
bottom to prevent failure. AS an allevia-
lion Of the gruesomeness of this combina-
ton of suicidal novelties comes another
tale from Chicago, relating how a police
man frightened wouid-be suicide from his
purpose by threatening to shoot II the Of
fender did not promptly wade to the shore
of the lake into which he had walked.
There is something paradoxical in this sud

Evolution of a spnni.h Chom,tou.

/
Mr.. Hale of Maine. in this Cuban busi-
| ness. is making a certain sort of progress.
He began simply as an opponent of hasty
action by this government. He was afraid
that the United States by recognizing the
beiiigerency of the insurgents might involve
ltseif unduly with Spain. His first deliver
ances were in that key. He then passed to
more energetic order of protest. He
took the ground in effect, that even il the
conditions in Cuba were hard. it was none
of the United States business Cuba be-
longed to Spain, and Spain was entitled to
do what she pleased with her own Now
Mr. Hale appears as a full-1edged cham
pion of Spanish rule in Cuba, explaining
it in detail and justifying it in every fea-
ture.
Mr.. Hale's figures are unquestionably
from Spanish sources. and they tell the
Spanish tale. Had they been supervised by
Minister de LONE or the Spanish premier
himseif. they would not guard Spanish in
terests more carefully. Spain has been
wise. and considerate. and helpful toward
Cuba throughout. A few reforms or SO may
be lacking. but they are ready In fact,
they would have been applied long ago but
for the indescribable and inexcusable folly
of the Cubans themselves. 1t is plain that
Mr.. Hale has no patience with the insur-
gents: is utterly unable to comprehend
except upon the score of cussedness, what
they can be driving at. But whatever 1t
may be, he is against them and hopes to
see them brought under their old time sub
lection.
Mr.. Hale may not know 1t, but his de-
iverance is what is called chestnut"
His figures and his contention are mouIdy
They have been tried on the public repeat
edly by the Spaniards themselves They
do not. however, and cannot, either from
Spanish sources proper or filtered through
Spanish-American sources, reach the main
proposition. Which is that If Spain had
given to Cuba the good government claimed
for her, Cuba would not now be in revolt
and holding at bay the whole Spanish
power. People to whom good government
and prosperity are given do not rise up
and smite their benefactors.
But there is more than the commercial
side to the controversy. Mr.. Hale does not
touch upon the right of the Cubans to self
government. nor upon the very close re-
semblance their struggle bears to the strug-
gle made by the American colonies against
England little over a hundred years ago.
He cannot be unaware that those consid
erations are Influencing many people in
this country. and some of his own col
leagues in the Senate. and so the fact that
he does not allude to them is proof suffi-
cient that they have no weight with him.
