Cornered the Market.

The doughty German applied his
great foresight and his close judgment
to every phase Of the sugar business.
He not only operated upon more
scientific manufacturing principles,
but he reached out into the general
field of competition and brought that
within his control.
AT one time he shrewdly cornercd
all the sugar afioat and almost shut
up the doors of his rivals by cutting
off the raw supplies. all of which had
always to be imported. He invented
new processes which reduced the time
of making of hard sugar from three
weeks to "A hours, and introduced into
the American market for the first
time the cube and crushed sugars of

stone"
Judge Gould. let US call your at
tention. In the past thirty-three
years only four men have been kill
ed in this town. The first OF these
men was killed oy a deputy sheriff
of your city in self-defense. The
second of these men was killed
while mo" whiskey was supposed
to have been sold in this township.
Our constable, c. A. Butler, was
killed BY a crazy negro, whom the
people of this township had sue
cessively sent to Pine Bluff to have
him sent to the asylum. Each time
he was returned. and to our notion,
not the people OF Cornerstone
should be held responsible for this
killing but the officials OF Pine
Bluff. The last Of these men was
killed by W. c. Alexander, now
Of Pine Bluff
AS to the demoralizing effect it
has on the farm hands here and
around acre we consider it some
what worse, as now they have to go
TO Pine Bluff to obtain what they
would have gotten here, should We
have been granted license. There
they become saturated thoroughly,
both inwardly and outwardly. and
are sent back on the p. b. Il \.
Railway and the sections along that
line to be dealt with to the best of
the ability of the people, since the
closing of saloons in this vicinity
trouble has been greater an the P.
d. & A. Railway than it has ever
been before.
AS to the veracity Of the above
statement We respectfully refer the
readers to w. c. Conyers, conductor
on the above named road, and also
TO Deputy Sheriff Miller of Pine

We would call this demoraliza-
