To the Editor of the Dispatch:
MAN was made to mourn" These
lines are applicable to man in all de-
partments of life. We are beset with
trials, troubles and tribulations and
the farmers are not exempt.
Last week I spent day meander-
ing among my friends living north Of
me. My object was to see them,
look at the crops and find out what
they were doing. The first place [
called in was my friend, R. B. Barr's
he is member of the W. @. c.,
(Widow's Combined Club of South
Fork. I found my friend in the
blacksmith shop. Not having his
work done but doing it himself, add
ing another to his already many &C.
complishments. A darkey present
said, he can jist fix up plow with
any man. Mr.. Barr extended to ne
the courtesy and kindness that makes
the gentleman; invited me to the
house, and from thence to the gar
den, worked by himself, and he needs
to be proud of it for he certainly has
a nice one.
The mail express, engineered by
my friend, Mr.. Pyles, came along, and
he, Mr.. Pyles, kindly offered me a
seat with him, and down the road I
went as far as the turpentine works
of Messrs. Sphaler & Price. 1 found
Mr.. Price quite unwell but cheerful.
He has been under the weather for
sometime, but I hope he will be all
right soon.
I spent short time with him and
then went on to Mr.. Ambrose Wing
ards and found Mrs. Wingard at
home well and busy about her domes-
tic affairs. She directed me how and
where to find Mr.. Wingard, so went
on foot and found him and his lit
tie boys hoeing cotton. Mr.. Wing
ard is one of these 60 a head men,
but alas! he has none of the elements
that constitutes Job.
From Mr.. Vineyards I went over to
Meetze settlement and met Mr.. Sam
uel Meetze and several friends, took
dinner with Mr.. Ed Buff and passed
a pleasant afternoon with him and
| his family. Late in the afternoon I
returned home much pleased with
my day of recreation.
Having had such a pleasant time
last week I concluded to try it over
and on Friday I set out going south
this time.
On my road, I found my friend,
Mr.. George Wright slowly hoeing

potatoes. He was easily persuaded
to lay down the hoe and accompany
me to MIR. Bachman Huffman's. We
found Mr.. Hufnan working on his
tobacco house. On our approach la
Dor ceased and Mr.. Huffman carried
us to his tobacco farm. The tobacco
is looking fine and if it is behind like
the balance of the cropI have no idea
how good crop of tobacco would
look. I had quite an interesting con-
versation with Mr.. Moss, who is the
supervisor of the tobacco farms in
this sectian. he says the tobacco
has been injured some by the wet
weather, but considers the crop q
pretty fair one. he says further
that the lands here reminds him of
the tobacco lands of Virginia and
North Carolina and considers the
crop as on average with that in those
States believing We can make. as
good tobacco here az those States.
He gave me information as to the cul-
ture and gathering of the crop, ETC.,
etc. found Mr.. Moss to be quite a
pleasant gentleman. I will certainly
repeat my visit to the farm at an
early date.
The general corn crop is poor.
There is some corn that looks pretty
we'll, but it is considered that the
crop has been greatly injured. As
for cotton it is small and fred up
and-well, it may make crop but it
has to come out from where it is.
I took dinner with Mr.. Huffman
! and his family. Vegetables in plenty,
butter, honey, all procured at home,
proving that Mr.. Huffman is one of
our provident farmers and the ar
rangement of cooking impresses US
that Mrs. Huffman knows we'll how
to perform her part equally with MIR.

A SENATOR INVOLVED
Government Has Begun to Probe
"Get-Rich-Quick" Concerns.
James Tyner. Assistant Attorney General
to the Post Once Department., Mixed
Up In the Scandal Which Has
Become National.

Washington, March IS. The
.harges that have been filed with
the president in the attorney general
and post Office department scandals
are of comprehensive character and
IL they are substantiated a colossal
conspiracy will be unearthed. One
well known. law firm in New York,
another in Washington, a United
States senator and a Baltimore law
yer are accused in the charges which
have been preferred. In the investi-
CATION which has begun to disclose al
legged connections of an official and
semi-official character with get-rich-
quick concerns in various cities,
James Tyner, the assistant attorney
general to the post Office department,
is mere incident. Before T. G. Camp
bell, the Cincinnati lawyer, reached
Washington the administration had
decided upon it's plan of action. Ty-
ner was not at that time afactor in
the management Of the legal affairs
of the post Office and Mr.. Bristow,
The fourth assistant postmaster gen.
eral, was already at work on the in
vestigation which Campbell is alleged
to have started.

A COMPLETE. ROSTER.
All the Omcers and Men Of the. Union and
Confederate Armies to BE Published by
the War Department.

Washington March 17.-By direc-
ton of Secretary Root the war de-
partment yesterday embarked on
the extensive work of compiling and
publishing complete roster of the
officers and enlisted men of the union
and confederate armies. The publi-
cation will be enormous in size, in
GLIDING no less than 80 volumes as
large as the rebellion records. The
northern names will be published
with the southern, because it is de-
sired to have all of these data in one
publication, instead of being scat
tered through various state books.
Moreover, it is felt to be graceful
thing to bracket the names of the
men whoswore the blue and the gray.
IL order to carry out this purpose,
Secretary Root yesterday sent let
ter to. the governors of all states
which furnished troops for the con-
federate armies, asking their coop
, el'ation9 with the department in the
effort to make this compilat ton as
nearly complete as it is possible.

SAVED By A COWBOY.
Two Youths. who Had Been Capslzsd inss

brought to Land.


Hardy. Neb-, March 1.-two
youths were saved from drowning
in the Republican river by Charles
Wilson, cowboy. Wilson was on
horseback and starting for the ranch
on which he worked when he was
attracted by a crowd on the river
bank. There he found Hommitt and
Webster, both young men, who had
attempted to cross the stream in a
skiff, were on the point of being
drowned. The craft had been cap
sized by the floating ice and the men
thrown into the bitter cold water.
They speedily became so benumbed
that they were unable to grasp ropes
thrown them. Wilson rode his horse
close to the bank and, whirling his
lasso, he threw it we'll over the float
ing body of the younger of the
youths and, strapping the other end
around the pommel of his saddle,
drew the man out. This was repeat
ed with the other drowning man
and, though both were unconscious
when rescued, they speedily recov-
cred.

London, March 17:-John F. Lover.
chairman of the shareholders com
mittee which instigated the prosecu-
ton of Whitaker Wright. the director
OF the London & Globe finance cor
porations, who was arrested on his
arrival at New York from France
says: Il see Wright is quoted as
saying he had a powerful protector
in an exalted quarter. That state
ment is not new to us. 1t is the key
note of the whole case.
For a dozen years Wright was the
best-known promoter in London and
he is charged with swindling share
holders in the London & Globe finance
corporation, of London, out of sums
aggregating, according to various es-
Inmates, anywhere from SIS, GOO, 900 to
$150,0o0,000. Somebody, who evident
ly wanted to make an especially ac-
curate estimate of Wright's alleged
swindling operations, put the amount
at just $111, 100000.

Philadelphia, March 16.@The police
for several days have been investi-

the negro herb doctor" who was
committed to prison with Mrs. Cath

ing the death of the woman's hus-
band by poison. Mrs. Dame is said to
be one only of a host of women
whose object in consulting the ''doc-

thorities say that they expect to
trace a number of deaths to Hossey's
potions.
Hossey is the arch-conspirator in
many crimes, the authorities say.
They have learned that for many
months past his headquarters have
been patronized by many women both
married and single-whose names are
now in the possession of the district
