COL. MONTGOMERY.

We published recently the de-
nial of Colonel Montgomery Of
the charges affecting his political
affiliations. Referring to this the
Yazoo City Herald says:
As The Herald was the first
paper 10 call in question Colonel
W. 4. Montgomery's democracy,
it feels justified in replying to the
alove. Colonel Montgomery says
that he has never been repub-
lican. We are surprised that
he should make that statement.
Less than six weeks ago he wrote
a letter to a gentleman in Yazoo
City admitting that he did speak
for Blaine in 1881, and that pri-
or to that he had been a Green
hacker. This letter the Herald
can produce if necessary.
In addition we can give him
the names of numbers ofresponsi-
Bile citizens of Edwards, jackson,
Canton and of Yazoo, who will
not hesitate to say that he spoke
for Blaine in 1884. More than
that, The Herald can give him
the name of a Yazoo democrat
who wrote to him advising him
not to announce himself for gov
ernor, for the very reason that
his political record was not
straight.
"Colonel Montgomery may say
that he has never been repub-
lican, but he cannot and will not
say thathe did not make speeches
for Blaine, and that prior to that
he was a Greenbacker. "

A COMPLETE FERTILIZER.

A complete fertilizer in the lit
eral sense Of the word is one
which contains every kind Of food
a plant needs. Ashes come near
er meeting the definition than
any other substance used as ma
nure, except stable manure,
which meets the definition entire-
ly, as it contains every element
OF plantfood. But as many of
the elements Of plant-food are
present in sufficient quantity in
ordinarily good soils, it is COM
mon to speak OF any fertilizer
which contains the elements in
which soils are usually deficient
as complete fertilizers. The sub.
stances most generally deficient
in soils are phosphoric acid, pot.
ash and nitrogen, and any fer
tilizer containing these in rea-
sonable quantity is usually spok-
en- of as a complete fertilizer.
In that sense the combination
you mention is a complete fertii-
zer. II the acid phosphate con-
tains II per cent. Of available |
phosphoric acid, which is the
usual average, the mixture will
analyze as follows: Phosphoric /
acid, six per cent, and potash |
three per cent, standard guanos,
which by law in some states are
required TO contain eight per
cent. Of that substance. Dixie |

| see that Col. w. A. Mont
gomery has been accused Of be-.
ing, or having been a republi-
can, and, having lived in old
Kinds fifty years Of my life and
being intimately acquainted with
him for the past thirty five years,
know whereof / speak, having
been with him in many state and
county conventions away back in
the '70s. Colonel Montgomery,
during the greenback craze in
187S-79, advocated and favored,
as well as the writer, the currency
plank of this organization, but
was never a republican. IL he
was a republican at that time, w.
j. Bryan is a republican today.
The charges against our gallant
colonel Of the Second Mississippi
will only aid him in the race for
governor. These mud-slingers
have already about slung our
"Anse' into the United States
senate, and I will bet a jug of
goose eggs that Colonel Mont
gomery will be our next governor.
And he will steer the Old Ship Of
State through all the shoals. He
will not be controlled by any set,
or clique, and only guided by the
best talent Of our state" Hur-
rah for Montgomery. 1T. A.

lowed made the enterprise conta-
glous among the agricultural
classes.
Now, it is an established fact.
that the farmer who builds a good
barn and hay sheds will soon
save enough to pay for the ex-
pense Of erection, in better stock
and more economical feeding.
Even in the south cattle need
good shelters and swine always
do better with clean quarters to
sleep in. do not suppose there
is q farmer in this broad land
who takes proper pride in his
calling, who does not feel easier
in mind and body whom he lies
down at night knowing that ev-
cry animal on the premises has 4
good place to stand or lie and
enough food to be satisfied
against hunger.
And nothing less than this
should be allowed in a land Of
Christian civilization. Cruelty TO
animals is not confined to beat
ings and oyerwork. The poor,
shivering beasts that stand ia a
muddy lot with snow on their
backs are as badly mistreated az
the cab horse that falls in the
street from exhaustion, with 4
full stomach. There is nothing
more pleasing than TO see com
Portable farm buildings as you
ride along the public roads, and
nothing speaks more plainly for
the thrift and industry Of the
owner. Dixie Farmer.

DAFFODIL LAND.
A New York Artists Description of
the Ch~rmS of tho Sicily
islands,

letter written by a New York artist
who is painting there gives an enthusi-
astic description of the Scilly islands,
which have, so far, been comparatively
unknown to American tourists. Even
the English have been slow in realizing
the charm Of the islands so near their
own shores, but, it seems that this
spring many artists have gone to "daf-
todil land" and the winter exhibitions
will probably be flooded with pictures
OF the islands. Daffodils have always
,, grown in great profusion in the Sicily
islands. February and March are the
height OF their. blossoming time, and,
TO quote the artists letter:
THE whole land is blazing sea of
brilliant yellow daffodils, surging I'D
upon gray rocks and falling back in
, 1oambursts of white narcissus. Even
the. tulip fields in Holland don't give
Apch gorgeous effects of color. You
should stand on one Of the little hills
here and look across the sunlit fields if
you want to see the loveliest things IN
the world; yet, sometimes think the
hower-drifted land is more beautiful
under moonlight than in the daytime;
4 and, daytime or nighttime, the air is
scented as though it blew straight from
ArAby the blest."

THE MAcHETE'S DEADLY CUT.
Lieut.. Lying, from HGvana, Tells
How a spaninrd's Body
Wac Severed

The execution possible with a machete
when welded by a brawny Cuban
horseman is told by Lieut.. L. Lying,
assistant surgeon u. S. A., who is home
in Minneapoliso on furlough from Cuba.
During his service in Cuba Lieut.. Lying,
whose swarthy complexion causes him
to be mistaken for a Cuban officer often
er than for native of Norway, which
he is, collected many photographs and
relics, says the Chicago News.
while I was in attendance in one of
the operating wards" said he, "a Span
lard was brought in who had been all
but cut in two by a machete. The blow
severed his left arm just below the arm
pit, and proceeded through the mans
body until it encountered the spine and
breastbone. Few soldiers who fell afoul
Of deft fencer with the machete ever
lived to tell the tale"
Among Lieut.. Lyng's collection of
photographs is one Of gigantic heap
of bones of reconcentrados whose bod
les had been thrown in pile on the out
skirts of Havana and covered with
lime. Another picture shows pit full
OF skeletons, where the work Of the
quicklime had been left to vultures.
These were bones of persons whose
bodies were dug up and moved out of
cemeteries because relatives had been
unable to keep up the installment pay
ments on their graves.
