Fort Madison, Nor'moor H.-Editora Koo woo Courier: A few wooka ago I read a communication in your paper, written by "L," of Tugaloo, in which he aald: "If Jake Cook is still in oxiatonco he ia urgently requested to come down and investigate the oondltion of the publie roads, and give a description of then) in The Courier, for there ls no other man in the oountv that can five the i subject justioe." Von oan say io my friend "L" that I am still in ezissenoe, but, like the Dutchman WM by going to heaven, I am bore by a darned tight squeeze. I don't think I oould baldly give the road subject justioe without doing the present oounty offiolalB an injustice. Wa roust not forget tbe oireumstanoes under which the present officials took charge of the oounty affairs. The treasury waa depleted and the county in debt forty thousand dollars, and fifteen thousand dollars' worth of bridges were washed away in tho Jone freshet; therefore they have necessarily bad a tough time of it. I have been sorry for them all the while. I think they should have our prayers instead of our ourses. I propose to say good things of thom until they run the oounty in debt still further than it was whon they took Charge of the county business. If they do this, why theo what I may say of them probably oould not be found in a Sunday BOhoof book. Anyway, I have been feeling good ever since the last election. I got every man that I voted for exoept one, and 1 have been rejoioing over tho results ever since, though I did think tbe dear old Courier would givo us tbe report of the expert accountant's investigation, but if they did we failed to notice it. ' I suppose he got a taste of the hog and ran away. Tho corn crop is very good on tho rivor, but I want to tell you that the recent frost certainly put a quietus on tho cotton crop. I have never seen a orop > o completely killed before. A majority of the farmers did not get more than half a orop, and some did not get that muob. Some of my tenants are talking of taking a hammer and going into the fields and cracking it-like hull ing walnuts. This is the only way to get it, for it will not open. We have b'.en told that the cotton mill men of our omit y have only been buying few bales of cotton-something like enough to supply them a week at s timo: that they aro waiting for the prioe or cotton to go down. Now, gentlemen, if this is true, you had just as well buy your cotton now. If you run your mills next year yon will run them on some thing Uko 12J cents cotton. I hopo the price will go to 15 couts per I pound and stay there for the next fifteen undred years. It seems strange that j the mill mon had not just as soon pay tho farmer as good a prioe for his cotton as to pay tho speculator a good price for I it. Af er it gets out of the farmer's { hand*, it they have to pay a good prioe, why not lot the farmer, who made it, have tho beueflt of the higher prioe? There is another thing that seems oat of reason to rae, and that is that the cot ton mill men will take half the white labor out of tho country and pen them up in a lot of littra old nuts around the mill; leave us no labor to make cotton except a few trifling negroes, and then oxpect to got our cotton for less than it costs us to mako it. Gentlemen, this is ut of tho bounds of reason. A few oars ago there was a great howl about ouildiug cotton mills. Every town and community was trying to build a mill. They wore trying to Rot every man who | liad any money to take stock in a mill. It was stated that a mill would be groat advantage ic building up the coun try and furnishing a ? market where the farmers could get a good prioe for their cotton. It was not stated that the mills would go into a combination for the pur pose of imposing upon the poor, hard working farmers in order to beat them out of their just and honest rights. Unfortunately, a majority of the farm ers aro in debt and their orops under I mortgage-even bofore it is planted-and tba mortgages aro due about the middle | of October. The mill men know this, and they think they have only to wait I and not buy until that time, and the /ar mor will bo obliged to put his cotton on ! the market, regardless of prioe, in order I to pay off the mortgages, and then they will get it at their own price. They | I don't seem to think about tue last day, when at tho Bar of Judgment, that they will have to stand face to face with an All wise Qod and explain the Buffering of the farmers' children. I havo made arrangements with the I merchants in the future to make the notes, lions ano mortgages given by me and my tenants ?'uo the first, of January ?nd not before I think if the farmers will do this it will help the oause. We will not have to put our cotton on the market so soon, and probably get the | benefit of tho rise io prices. What is the reason that the mill men can't pay a good j, ico for cotton and then raiso the prico on their g ods ac cordingly. I can't see how *hiB would hurt thom, and it would put more money in circulation and the oountry would be j moro prosperous. Yours, etc., J. A. Cook. Tho Mormon Church has bought the I old jail at Carthage, 111., in whioh Joseph Smith, the Mormon prophet, ant" his brother, Hiram, were killed by mob in tho early history of the State. proverbs "When the butter won't come put a penny in the churn," is an old time dairy proverb. It often seems to work though no one has ever | told why. When mothers are worried because the children do not gain strength and flesh we say give them Scott's Emul sion. It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it. Scott's Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs. Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants. For all weak and pale and thin children Scott's Emulsion is the most satisfactory treat ment. Wa will send you the penny, /. e.? a sample free.

Verner Starts on as Expo omen for the World's Fain [TUBO?IOO?? (Ala.) Times-Gazette, No? ve m bor 12th. j BOT. S. P. Verner, of the Stillman In stitute, will leave to-day for New York to embark at the head of an expedition to Afrioa, sent out to secure an exhibit for the ethnological department of the World's Fair. Mr. Verner was * 'mis sionary to Afrioa for several years, and his varied experience there, his knowl edge of the people, their language and customs make him an admirable man for this work, and there is little doubt of his being able to return with a wonder fully interesting exhibit. It is desired that he secure a number pt the race of dwarfs, of whtoh so much has been heard, to return with him. No person is so well adapted for this undertaking as Mr. Vernor, and it is very fortunate for the World's Fair and for those interested in tbe progress of civili zation and religion in Afrioa that he bas consented to do this work. The New York Sun, in speaking of this enterprise, says: 1 "At its head ls Samuel Phillips Ver nor, of the Stillman Institute, in Ala bama, and he goes to bring over a oom Eany of pygmies for the ethnological ex ibit at the World's Fair at ?st. Louis. "The expeditiou was planned uuder the direction of Dr. W. J. MoGee, ohief of the department of anthropology at the ?St. Louis Exposition.. This department will consist of six flections, of whiob the first will be that of ethnology. In this section Dr. MoGee has planned to ex hibit a series of living groups to illus trate tho primitive nico types of the world. At the bottom of the ladder, ?bysioally speaking, come the pygmies, here could be no group in the world more difficult to get. Not ono of them, according to Dr. MoGee. has ever beon in the western hemisphere, and only three or four individuals have ever boen out of Africa. They are extraordinarily shy, so shy that lt is difftoult for the native tribes of normal size to hold any communication with them. They are the aborigines of Afrioa, no larger than ? boy of twelve, speaking a languago of their own, living a hidden life in their own villages In tue depths of tho forest. Herodotus mentions them, and in his day they lived in the yioinity of Egypt. They have been pushed southward aud iuward, until now they are scattered obscurely over an Interior region of Central Afrioa oompriBing an area per haps as large as the United StateB. Thoy are the least knowu of all aboriginal tribes, and it is for this reason that Dr. McGee wants a group of them at tho exposition. "Mr. Vernor was a manual teacher sent to Afrioa by the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions. He lived for some time with King Ndombe, on the Kassai River, one of the largest and least known tributaries of the Congo. "Connected with Ndombe's tribe, as with others, are certain tame pygmies, from whom Mr. Verner le ar ned the pygmy language. It is through these tamo pygmies that the exposition hopes to reach the wild pygmies of the forest. He will bring over four pygmy families, with their houses.
