The most provincial man in these
United States, says a gentleman who
is traveller, sis the New Yorker of a
certain type. To his mind the island of
Manhattan is all that is worthy of the
name of America. He Tay believe that
civilization runs a few miles mp the
Hudson, but he is equally sure the jump
ing-off plece cannot be farther away
than Buffalo. When this New Yorker
does get ont of New York. trouble comes
TO him in chunks, whether he goes south
or west. The two really cosmopolitan
cities are San Francisco and New
Orleans, and the people of both are wise
enough to know that there are few
other spots on the map"

ASSAULTED THE WOMAN.
Report of the Assault Made Yester-
day Confirmed by the Woman.


The Progress contained yesterday
a sensational story regarding rumor
of an attempt by negro to assault
white woman abont two miles from
Hattiesburg on the Leaf and Pearl
Rivers railroad. At the time there
seemed to be some doubt as to the
truthfulness of the rumor, but since
then the lady has acknowledged to
her husband that the attempt was
made if not carried out and that she
would know the negro, who is de-
scribed as being mulatto, if she
should see him.
The people of the neighborhood,
assisted by many of the city, have
been securing the country ever since
yesterday morning, but so far they
have not captured the negro or had
any tidings of him. A negro answer
ing his description was arrested last
night up on the Gulf and Ship Island
railroad and carried before the lady
| for identification, but she said he
| was not the one wanted and he was
! turned loose. But men with dogs
and guns are still looking for him
and if found he will very likely be
lynched. And if he does not leave
the country he will be found, for the
people are determined on this.

We take pleasure ia voluntarily ex-
pressing our favorable opinion of DR.. f.
b. Brewer as a physician and as q gen
tleman. II no other proof Of his ability
was accessib ble, this fact alone would
have weight, that he has made Visits
regularly for years, aud succeeded in
building u2 : successful practice where
80 many pretenders have failed. We
do not count the doctor as a travelling
physician since his appointments are so
regularly kept. AS business man, in
his dealings with the press, we have al
ways found him prompt courteous, and
obliging, ever ready to fulfill his share
Of the contract, and setting in this 70
spect good EXAMPLE TO the many Jug
glers who wander the country over,
calling themselves Physicians %. DR..
Brewer must not be confounded with
these. We would advise all suffering
from any chronic disease 70 lose no time
in consulting DIR. Brewer who will make
his next visit to the Viroqua Hotel in
this city on Tuesday, October II.

YIroaus, as Seen by an Editor.

. Concerning his recent visit to our
town and the fair, Editor Barry, of the
Richland Democrat says Of the city;
"Viroqua as city evidences progress
siveness at every point, and in the past
few years has made rapid strides in both
public and private improvements. Her
streets and sidewalks are in excellent
shape, clean and permantly built, the
residences and we'll kept lawns speak of
wealth and prosperity and the business
houses and stores show big improve
ment over few years since, many new
and substantial blocks having been
erected and are stocked with larger lines
and better class of goods than are
found in the general run of cities of that
size The county fair was in full blast
and though the week opened with
threatning weather, the sun smiled on
the management Thursday and Friday
and as consequence large crowds were
in attendance. The fair exhibits were
of high order but not as large as Rich
land county people are accustomed to
see at their home fair.

DEAR OLD WISCONSIN THE BEST"
That's What Former Citizen Emphaticaily Writes
the Censor from Texas.
WEATHERFoRD, TEXAS. Oct. 4

! WEATHERFoRD, TEXAS, Oct l.
EDITOR CENSOR; Last Christmas
my old friend John N Hall OF Clinton
township, sent me this years subscrip
tion TO my old copnty newspaper, THE
CENSOR, for a Christmas gitt-I am
proud TO assure you that l appreciated
it as John was my hired man for sever.
al years. Every week | am made to
feel young again reading about the ''do.
! ms ia Wisconsin. Tho longer / live
the more | am impressed with the fact
that Wisconsin is the best state have
ever been acquainted with and all that
Texas needs TO maks this state appreci-
ated for wonderful natural resources is
such people as make Wisconsin excel
lent. One thing especially attracts my
attention in reading the CENSOR that
is Money to loan at 5 per cent. inter
est "
If your land ageats and loan agents
would correspond with any of the Rail-
way passenger agents running from
Chicago TO Texas they will find just
now unprecedented inducements to
come down and see Texas, as all of
the roads leading south have just deter
mind ty use every means within their
power during the winter to induce good
people to come south and get acquaint-
ed with the wonderful Inducements.
Texas, especially offers to Yankee brain,
money and excellence, especially to
Wisconsin farmers and dairymen to re-
move thither. This city of Weather
ford has Board of Trade which has
published some literatzre-an illustrat-
ed write up of Parker county, together
with maps of the city, county and state
that they are sending out and am
thinking of making q visit back to dear
old Wisconsin, for the purpose of DIS
tributing so'ue of this matter. The
Chicago meat packers, Armour q Swift
are building immense packeries at Fort
Worth, in the adjoining county of Tar
rent These packers are spending many
millions of money in this, also buying
all tho cotton seed mills and co6ton gins
any way tributary to Fort Worth. This
assures market for all kinds of live
stock at good prices and this country
will assuredly appreciate the same and
be a good place to remove to.
would be glad to hear from any of
nay old Vernon county friends and sent
them some of this literature and an
swer any questions can.
| moved from Walworth county to
the town of Clinton in 1856 and lived
there until 1880 and have many a dear
old friend thereabout l would be very
much pleased to hear from.
Yours truly.

WiscOnsin Corn and Oiher CrOps.

The Wisconsin corn crop this year
will be apout 70 per cent. Of the aver
age, according to the estim .te of Secre-
tary True of the state board of agricul-
ture. In his monthly report he says
Much damage was done by frost, owing
to the lateness of the corn in ripening,
and much of the corn is soft, impairing
its marketable value, although all right
for feed. The fodder is badly bleached
and much of it is of no value foc feed.
There are some complaints of potatoes
rotting in the ground, bnt they are gen
orally in good shape, and the secretary
puts their condition at 90 per cent
Only crops supposed to mature since
September H. are covered by this re-
port. The other percentages are; Late
apples, So; buckwheat, So beans, W

WHAT'S DOING IN TOBACCO.
The County Is Full of Anxious Buyers and Sales are
Numerous

During the past week and at the
present time there is rampantness
after Vernon county tobacco that has
only once before been tqualed. The
country districts have been full of buy
ers, who are evidently bent on having
the crops The leading companies f
the country are represented by from one
to half dozen buyers, while individu-
al firms foreign and local buyers are
found Ia the chase, At present the go-
ing price Is eight cents, but we hardly
see how buyers hope TO keep the figures
thara if the hig scramble continues
The + lge ton Tobacco Re orter
says of conditions there and elsewhere
The buying movement il going for
ward III about Nll the growing sections
of the state, The force of buyers in the
field is sufficient to lift large slice of
the.crop each Vice. running into the
thousands of cases 1t is we'll known
that the crop is % | ,rge one and the buy
ers have moved m re cautiously and
taken more time in closing trades than
is often the case, The going price is s
cents Only one crop in this territory
sold above 9 cents of late.
A long stretch of damp, wet weather
thas has prevailed of late, conditions
that product shed damage has caused
some uneasiness among growers, few
of whom built fires in their curing sheds
as preventative, Possibly some dam
age from pole rot has occurred, but it is
hoped not serious enough to cut much
figure Clearing weather has again put
an end TO all these dangers, but grow
ers need to watch their sheds closely.
For losses sustained in the 1900 crop
through these causes are familiar TO all
connected with the business. Contracts
have been placed for a large share of
the crop when conditions seemed favor
able to its curing out sound, and if it so
happens that the old trouble of 1900
comes again, there is bound to be plenty
of trouble at delivery time. 1t is just
such contingencies as these which may
occur at any stage of tn4 curing of the
crop, that have prevented the conserva-
tive buyers from entering the field when
the movement of buying the crop start
ed These men prefer to wait until they
can examine the ,rJp entirely cured
and know to certainty just what they
are getting before making contracts.
