what difference does that make, I am
wet to the skin anyway. We could
hardly pull though the bottom on the
north side OF creek. We marched
about two miles after crossing creek,
went into camp, built fire at once. We
now have a spendid FIRE, the back log
il about4 feet through, 1 am seated on
a chunck and will soon be dry.
Tuesday, Oct. 1--WE must be look
ing for the Yanks, as we took position
this evening. We have very fine
grazing near by for stock, and they
certainly need it. 1t does me good to
see shelbyville (this is my horse) eat,
he seems to enjoy it.
Wednesday, Oct. 5'-We are now
working on a fort, have it nearly COM
pleted.
Thursday, Oct. cit is now raining
in torrents. At 6 o'clock we moved
out from camp. After marching six
teen miles in slush and mud, some.
times up and over our shoe tops we
came to Dallas. So here we are
building camp fires and drying our.
selves the best we can. My old friend
Wash who belongs to another mess

It is a fact that the business inter-
est Of the country suffer stagnation
during the sessions Of Congress. A
feeling of suspense is universal and
apprehensious prevail in trade and
manufacturing circles, lest reckless
Legislation may unsettle business con.
ditions. It cannot be denied that the
meeting of Congress is always dreaded
by the substantial elements Of the ma
tion. Biennial or even triennial ses
sions would relieve the country of q
deadweight and the new statutes which
every year add to our already volumi-
nous and confusing compilation would
find a surcease.

FROM GRAYsPORT.
National, State and Local Matters Dis
cussed in an Intelligent Manner.
A Kind Word for the Grenada College.

GRAYsPoRT, MISS, Nov. 20, 1898.
Editor Grenada Sentinel
DEAR S1R:-The old year Is waning.
A few more short weeks and eighteen
hundred and ninety.eight will be num-
bered among the thousands that
have gone to swell the calendar of his
toric deeds and mighty events in the
past. To US as nation, it has been an
eventiul year, fragrant with acts and
deeds that will tell upon the destiny Of
this republic. Have We done wisely?
Are we on sure footing? Can we sustain
creditably the steps we have taken?
These questions present themselves to
every thoughtful mind. We all glory
in the triumphs Of our arms. Our
national pride is aroused to the high
est pitch when on land and sea con-
slant and uninterrupted success greets
our heroic and determined soldiery.
But when the victory is won and the
smoke Of battle cleared away, other
problems present themselves. Can we
SUCCESSFULLY hold and maintain what our
triumphant armies have placed In our
handsy We can only trust that the
wisdom and foresight of our govern
ment may speedily and wisely adjust
all complications arising from our re-
cent victories, and under the star
spangled banner may the recently &C.
quired territory, with its thousands ol
human beings, find that protection and
good government that have character
lied Us as a nation from our infancy tc
the present time. I did not start oul
to write SO much on national affairs 4:
upon State and home affairs.
Our State has surely passed through
another year of trying ordeals. The
yellow fever visitation, with its trair
of evils, together with the low price O
our principal staple, has all the fal
produced very depressing effect upol
all the people alike. All of our indus
tries and enterprises have received
severe check, the conditions requiring
the most rigid economy, as we'll as tao
and good judgment 10 meet the extra
ordinary conditions that we are CON
PEELED to face. The unprecedented
yield Of cotton, considering the unfa.
vorable season, has puzzled our bes
and most observing planters. To-
much rain throughout almost the en-
tire cotton making season caused man!
to predict short crop, and 1t was con
fidently expected that the crop woult
be seriously cut OFT, but here We are Il
the midst Of half gathered crops, tn
fields still white with the aeecy..staple
with u ten to twelve million bale esti
mate, with heavy receipts reported
with low prices and continued rains
All this makes the outlook anything
but favorable to business men. Yet
with all these back sets, the close oh
server can see many things for eucour
agement. The low prices have stimu
lated the farmers to more rigid econo
my In all their agricultural and do
mestic affairs. The cost Of maxim;
their crops has been reduced from ore
third to one.half in many instances
Labor Is cheap, farm implements ar
cheap, horses and mules ditto, in fact
everything used IN the making IN
gathering Of the crops, together wit

the food and clothing that are necessa-
ry, has been 90 reduced in price that
4} cent cotton does not strike terror to
Us as we once thought it would. With
All abundant yield Of corn, potatoes,
sorghum, hay and hog products, witha
fair cash price for every COW and year
ling that ia offered for sale, we will not
only manage to pull through, but each
year we are learning lessons that will
in few more years place US on the
high road to prosperity and indepen-
dence.
In your last issue something is said
about our Grenada schools, especially
Grenada Female College, its aourishing
conditions, etc. Now the principal
asks for more room, greater facilities.
Our interest in the future of our girls
and the general interest that all good
citizens should feel in raising the
standard of education should prompt
US to give this college a hearty snd
liberal support. We should remember
that education is the only safeguard to
virtue, liberty and happiness. From a
financial stand point, We should also
give hearty support, wherever schools
are built up and sustained; the town,
district or county is correspondingly
benefited. We have been told by q
recent visitor, and one competent to
judge, that the president and his en-.
tire corps of teachers have been we'll
selected. They have the training, ed
ucational and otherwise to insure sue
cess, they have the pride OF the insti-
tuition at heart and evince u desire to
make it the pride and glory Of our
town and county. Give them the means
to build the annex that they may be
prepared to accommodate all the girls
who may rpply, seeking an education.
I have heard many expressions OF
pleasure over the revival OF tho agri.
cultural fair. The favorable impres.
sions made and the general interest
awakened Is very flattering for q con.
tinuation and it is believed at the next
meeting the exhibit will be such as to
elicit universal praise and interest.
Wishing you and yours a joyous
Christmas, lam yours truly, M.
