To Inspect Cotton Fields.

The Baltimore Sun has telegra
from New York, stating that MI
John +. Searles, who recently I'd
signed the presidency of the Wester|
National Bank and also the secretary
ship Of the American Sugar COMPANY
with view to concentrating his al
tention upon Southern interests, AMI
especially upon the development d
cotton handling methods, proposes 4
take a months trip through th|
South to study the advantages d
that section and to look closely ind
every phase of cotton handling. \
The American Cotton Company'
Of which Mr.. Searles is president anc
which is introducing the cylindrical
or round-bale system of packing cot
ton, has already handled about POO,
600 bales this year. With the new
plants that are under contract tn,
company expects to handle next
season from 100000 to 1,000,0 600 bales
of cotton. The success OF this
system in reducing the cost of gin
ming to the farmers and the cost OF
insurance and ocean transportation,
has been so completely demonstrated
that Mr.. Searles has deemed its full
development one of the greatest
business opportunities of the age.
Hence his determination to con-
centrate his energies in that direc-
ton.
In his Southern trip Mr.. Searles
will 90 through the Indian Territory,
where cotton-growing is becoming a
leading industry, thence through
Texas, from there to Louisiana and
Mississippi, and then into the Central
South, making a careful study of the
business conditions of the whole
South. He has requested Mr.. Rich
ard Ii. Edmonds, editor of the Manu-
tacturerS' Record of Baltimore, who is
a personal friend, to accompany him
on the trip, and they will leave New
York in few days on Mr.. Searles'
private car for a months journey,

it's rather difficult for his creditors to

the worm unless he stops to reason.
Cruelty is the revenge we take for
our own just sufferings.

Wooden Wedding.

On March l4th the friends Mr.. AMI
Mrs. j. Friburg met at the residence of
Mrs. w. k. Rich and proceeded in
body to surprise them, each one taking
a load of wood, Mr.. j. Il. George acting
as leader. On arriving at the house we
found Mrs. Frburg at home, after hunt
ing up Mr.. Friburg and hurrying him to
the house, the marriage ceremony was
performed by Mr.. Ira Conkey, who we
think, missed his calling when he took
the job OF firing. The bride was married
with wooden ring made for the ecca-
sion. Mr.. J. F. George and Miss &
French stood up with the couple with
little Miss Addie Washeim as maid of
honor who held up the brides veil, a
lace curtain. After much laughter and
many congratulations we sat down to a
splendid repast of sandwiches, cake and
cup of coffee as only the bride can
bride make. MIR. George thinks he will
have to send for his dress suit as there
is more need of it here than in Wads-
worth. A GUEST.

Tuesday noon some children were
playing along the line of the ditch that
crosses Second street and runs along the
side of Chestnut street opposite the
Nevada Club building, where they dis
covered lying on little island of mud
in the center of the ditch the body of
prematurely born white child. A Gaz-
zette reporter was detailed to investi-
gate the matter. Opposite the Nevada
Club house and little north he found
the body of white female five or six
months old babe. Its little hands and
feet were perfectly formed and it is
about eight inches long. Over its face
it had a red substance through which
could be easily discerned its features.
That crime has been committed de-
serving of severest punishment the mute
little body is evidence. Its heather
father or mother whoever they may be
should have at least buried the offspring
from the vulgar gaze of the. world and
not thrown it into an open water ditch
as silent witness to their crime. 1t
had not been in the ditch for over one
or two DAYS. The officers should not lose
any time in ferreting ont the guilty par
ents. The Gazette later saws
the remains of the infant found in IL
creek on Second street the other day the
officers found out were those of a still
born infant baby belonging to woman
who came here from Winnemucca about
two months ago. The child was still
born and thrown into the ditch where it
was found The child was about a five
ted beyond throwing a prematurely born
child instead of bnrying it.
