COUNTY GETS
TWO INSTITUTES.

1t is probable that two farmers
institutes will be held in L0wndes
county this summer, one in Co.
lumbns during the first week in
August and a second in CaledO-
MIA during the latter part of the
same month. Among the speak
ers, who are to deliver addresses
at the Columbus institute, is Prof.
A. B. Mckay, who has charge OF
the department of horticulture at
the A. &c M. College, and whose
experience and advice along this
line will prove very beneficial to
agriculturists generally but es-
pecially to truck farmers, who,
by-the-way, are rapidly increas-
ing in this section of the state,
the rapid growth of many of the
cities of East Mississippi, making
such farms an absolute necessity.
The speakers at both Of the in
stitutes to be held in the county
are men who have not only stud
led agriculture, and who are IA
miliar with it from a scientific
standpoint, but men of practical
experience, who understand local
conditions and who are prepared
to give the farmers useful advice
on the many subjects. The in
stitutes should, therefore, be
largely attended and the same
progressive methods which are
proving so effective in every 9TH
er profession and trade, should be
applied to farming operations.

WHEELER
ANSWERS.

As tho article published in your paper
on Wednesday night. regarding my posi-
ton in connection with the sttorneyship
for the assignee OF the Colorado stats
Bank, was, in the maio. incorrect and
misleading, ask the courtesy OF space
in your valuable columns to state the
facts in this matter and let the public
draw its own conclusions.
1t is a sad condition for the public,
and especially 30 for many OF the depos-
itors, that the Colorado State Bank Of
our city was compelled, on account Of
conditions existing, to close its doors to
the public on the 9th day Of this month.
The causes which led up to these condi-
tions are now we'll known to the public
and further comment upon these causes
cannot help the conditions. Bad loans
and inadequate securities are the sole
causes Of the assignment. Culpability
or dishonesty cannot truthfully be
charged upon anyone connected with
this institution. The creditors commit
tee, who have made tho investigation for
the depositors, will believe corroborate
this statement.
Idle talk aud gossip upon the street,
by certain individuals who are not now
In any way connected with the bank and
who had not dollar OF their own there
In at the time the doors closed, but
whose sole desire is to stir up strife and
create dissatisfaction, cannot help the
conditions, but only fan the flames and
make them worse. United action and
cooperation ON the part Of all is . neces-
sity at this time.
From what / have learned OF the
banks condition since the assignment,
and the plans Of some of its Officers rela-
tive to this condition, firmly believe
that, with unity among the depositors
and creditors, proper management and .
little forbearapce and cool-headedness,
and with a muxzle upon the mouth Of
the irresponsible and inconsiderate street
gossiper, the bank can be made to pay
out in full.
Ono thing stated in your paper in the
article referred to, however, is correct.
Two petitions are being circulated
amongst the creditors Of the bank: the
one asking the assignee to retain me ~
the attorney for the assignee and credi-
tors; the other asking, as l understand.
that Mr.. Bucklin be given this job. Ev-
cry lawyer in this judicial district and,
believe. every lawyer in the state will
corroborate me when say that such .
proceeding never existed in any other
similar case in the state OF Colorado
since its induction into the union.

first, that / have been attorney for the

latter, 1 will say that this 10 not true.

district court for tho sugar company in

tive to certain water rights, for which I
was paid in full previous to the first day
OF June, and I have had no other con-
nection with its matters either directly
or indirectly since. II q few OF the ly-
ing miscreants. who have circulated this
report, will investigate, they will find my
statement correct.

The relationship between Mr.. Bucklin
and myself has always been pleasant and

on tho street. What action he has ia

Mr.. spooner said It was Of the utmost conse-

just necessary that there should be full and

esced in the proposition there would be no end 10
the trouble which would arise.
Mr. Foraker suggested that the Senate merely
