Covington, La, Sept. Z. 1897.
Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
| was glad to see your comment
on the article ga Slam on U.s."
Allow me to endorse your propo-
sition. 1t is certainly time our
citizens were bestirring themselves
and removing the reproach that
has 50 long hung over us. Surely
any town of our age and size and
pretentlons, any town that can
sport as fine a town hall as we do,
ought tn have . good school build
ing. The many advantages to be
derived from a good public high
school are too numerous to be men,
toned in this note.
am glad to say. Mr.. Editor,
that your proposition is meeting
with favor. One of our prominent
business firms stands ready to give
not twenty, but hundred dollars
towards the building fund. Like
wise a prominent out of town firm
stands ready to do handsome part.
l also have a plan that think a
good one. The Railroad tax is
about out. Let the same amount be
voted for school fund. This,
with what We already have, will
support good school for several
months each year. The assessed
valuation of town property is
sl46,926, which at mill tax
would bring in a revenue of near
$3.50 90 annually. Now let the
question be agitated. Let some
good citizen come forward and
donate . sqaurc Of ground for the
location. Let our City Fathers
make . liberal donation. Let every
busin ess man come up with his
twenty or more dollars. Keep up
the work until we shall have a
school house that will he an Orna-
ment to the city and credit to us.
lFeeling hopeful for the future,
and my wrath having cooled down,
l shall leave off the ssIndignant"
and beg the privilege of signing
myself, respectfully yours,
A CITIZEN.

YELLOW FEVER.

Last Monday the Board of Health
pronounced the disease at Ocean
Springs to be yellow fever, and a
strict quarantine was established
BY the health authorities ut New
Orleans against that place and
Biloxi, where there are also few
cases. Three cases are reported at
Scranton, and one death at Perkin-
ston. Owing to its proximity, a
number of cities and towns have
quarantined against Ne " Orleans,
although there is not a case of
yellow fever in the city.
The yellow fever scare didn't
worry Covington little bit. The
Town Council met in regular ses-
sion last Tuesday night, but the
subject of quarantine was not
brought before the Board.
Covington is the great SAM
tarium of the South. The health
conditions arc naturally perfect,
and with our balmy pine air and
sparkling waters, there is nothing
to fear in the way of any contagi-
Gus disease. When q case Of this
kind appears, it is invariably inn
ported, but never spreads. Our
people, safely fortified by nature
in this great health belt, extend
their sympathy to less fortunate
localities, but are not at all appre-
hensive as to their own safety.

We are glad to announce that

TO buy Mr.. Mckinley the Office Of

government assumes the payment

rate of about 40 per cent per annuu.
To the great republican party be-
longs the credit of this prompt and
satisfactory liquidation Of its obi
cations. The bonds given in settle
ment will he known on the market

Letter from Missouri.
Ohio, Mo. Sept. /, 1897.

ONO, Mo. Sept. l, 1897.
Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
"All aboard" said the conduc-
tor, as the l. G. train steamed out
of New Orleans and commenced it's
chuck-a-chuck for Memphis, Tenn,
A nights run brought us to this
great southern city.
A stroll in the parks brought us
in sight of an old friend. How
the heart quivers when the eyes fall
on the familiar face of one with
whom We have labord in days gone
by-how the pace qu,ckens, aud
memories of the past are rekindled.
A hurried conversation closes,
and we boared the X. c. f. S. &
NJ. train. Kring-hold on the seat,
as she rolls over the high bridge
spanning the great Father of
Waters. Is it long? Yes. Seventy.
five feet above high water mark.
Through the long quivering day
We fly away northwest, through
Arkansas, and as the houses 60
by we sweep into Missouri. To
the north the Ozark Mountains
look down upon us, and on either
side the golden sheaves of grain re-
fleet the light of the summer sun.
These wheat fields are occasionally
broken by thousand acres of Ben
Davis apple trees. On this run,
in southern Missouri, We pass
through the largest fruit farms in
the world. Ho, We fruit vendors,
leap for Joy. You can sell Ben
Davis apples AS long as these ma
jestic trees Yield their fruitful crops.
This latatude was the seat of
war in the sixties. Here was the
crash of arms, the dull beat of the
drum, the signs of the wounded,
mingled with the groans of the dy-
ing.
1t was here, amid the jungles of
the Ozark Mountains, that Guam
trell with the James and Younger
brothers operated.
From Kansas City to st. Louis
they left their trail of blood.
AT the old home of the James
boys you can descend through =
trap door in the parlor into a Gel
lar, then through a tunnel across
the road, beneath the feet of the
detective who sits ON his horse at
the gate. The desperate passes
through the tunnel up flight of
stairs into the old barn on the hill
side, two hundred yards away. and
yanks out over the hills to parts
unknown.

The people in this country who
have in the past undertaken to
corner the wheat market have near
" all come to grief because they
undertook more than they were able
to accomplish, says the Baltimore
Sun. But while the operation is
going on, it is most hurtful to the
farmers. The market becomes un-
settled, and after reaching certain
point it suddenly collapses and
falls as much below the normal as
it had been forced above. While
the prices are advancing rapidly
farmers will not sell. and the fall
is usually SO sudden that wheat
cannot be delivered before the bot
tom is reached. And so such ope-
rations are hartful all around
Picayunc.
