Growing Popularity of the Mining In
dustry.
Mining is rapidly advancing in popnlar
favor, and is being recognized bb reputable
and legitimate. As an industry, it ranks
far higher than it did a few years ago, and
bids fair to achieve a standing equal to any
of the great industries whioh attract oapital
and give employment to labor. The tone
of the press and the sentiment of the peo
ple no longer antagonize the mining indus
try. The annual statistics of bullion pro
duction, the new towns and cities springing
up in rugged mountain regions, the pro
gress of railway lines, the multiplying of
new business enterprises, the increased de
mand for machinery, provisions and sup
plies of all kinds, together with the aug
mented number of investors in mining
properties, have logically compelled the
conclusion that gambling and swindling are
not the cornerstones, nor the end and aim
of mining as a calling. Mining sharks and
mining experts have been driven from
prominence in the acquirements of mining
properties and the management of the
same, and in their place shrewd business
men have assumed control, banishing ex
travagance by methodical and economical
expenditure, to a degree whioh insures prac
tical demonstration that mining, thus con
ducted, does ray and is legitimate, sure and
honorable. From all the sections of Colo
rado. the territories and the oldest states in
the Union, comes the welcome news that
the mineral resources are being more thor
oughly exploited, and steps taken to utilize
the native resources, which have laid dor
mant for the reason that gambling and
mining were reckoned upon a par as legiti
mate vocations. With the dispelling of this
anoient but altogether unfounded prejudice,
men have begun to experiment upon mine
ral bearing ground in ah localities over the
entire country. In several of the Southern
States, particularly Virginia, North Caro
lina and Georgia, a revival of mining has
already taken place which promises to place
those States into line as rich producers of
the precious metals, and inaugurate indus
trial enterprises of great benefit to the pub
lic at large.
Louisiana Rice Fields.
In an article on the resources of Louisi
ana, J. Y. Gilmore, editor of the Sugar
Boii'l of that State, in speaking of the rice
product says: No industry has more rap
idly developed in Louisiana than rice cul
ture. A few years since the annual product
was so small that it attracted little attention,
but now the crop is greater than that of
South Carolina, and yet this industry is only
in its infancy here. We have thousands
npon thousands of acres of land especially
adapted to rice culture, all of which can be
naturally irrigated from onr rivers and nu
merous bayous, while with a slight outlay iu
pumping machinery, the crop can be made
a certain one in a still larger district. Not
only along onr many water-courses, but
upon the vast prairies of the five Attakapas
parishes, St. Landry, Calcasieu and Came
ron, can rice be profitably grown. Through
out that vast prairie region, rasome portions
of which land can be still had free of cost
to the home settler, and where but little
costs more tnan $3 per acre, the*e are bay
ous to flood the land, or coulees which can
cheaply be converted into reservoirs for ir
rigating purposes—and there is the most in
viting field for those who are familiar with
the business qr wish to engage in it. The
crop is highly remunerative, requiring but
small capital, taking less than half the year
to grow and harvest it, and the farmer could
devote the bulance of his time profitably to
Rice straw is another resource soon to be
made available, for it yields good wrapping
paper, is useful for various manufacturing
purposes, and as food for animals should be
saved, instead of being consigned to the
flames, as now.
Small rice mills, whereby each planter
can prepare his own crop for market, are a
want soon to be supplied.
The Choctaw Troubles.
The Choctaw troubles are becoming se
rious, and grave fears are entertained tnat
blood will be shed before matters are set
tled. The Choctaw authorities are disposed
to be very arbitrary in affairs pertaining to
the enforcement of the permit law, and are
seizing horses and cattle for the permit tax
and fines imposed on parties refusing to pay
it. Many prominent Choctaw property
owners refuse to pay the tax which they
claim conflicts with the United States treaty
of IMG. . .
Milo Hoyt, a wealthy citizen has been out
lawed and the lieen-e of Judge N. F. Krebs,
a prominent Choctaw lawyer, has been re
voked because he questioned the constitu
tionality of the permit law, and appealed to
the secretary of the interior for protection
for himself and clients. The Choctaws are
divided, some uphold Gov. McCurtain in his
enforcement of the law, and others, believ
ing the law unconstitutional and oppres
sive, are siding with the law-breakers. The
nermit law requires the Choctaw citizens to
pay a tax of $16 50 for every employee in
their service who is a non-citizen.

a moment Some of the blades were as
dry as last year’s fodder. Many of the stalks
wore withered and almost entirely Ary. Du

ed at this corn, and the unanimous opinion
was that nothing like that had ever been

A number of school children visiting the
capitol last week gave Governor Bate an
impromptu exhibition. The little darlings
showed their ability to appreciate the Gov
ernor’s needs by selecting the following
topics: “Our Country,” “Truth,” “Keeping

so Deep,” and so forth. These topics were
6o suggestive to the Governor that when it

deep thought, for Walsh’s.

BOYS AND GIRLS
DEPAETMENT.
Didn't I, Dan ?
“Jimmy, have you watered my horse this
morning ?”
“Yes, Uncle, I watered him; didn’t I,
Dan?” he added, turning to his younger
brother.
“Of oonrse you did,” responded Dan.
The gentleman looked at the boys a mo
ment, wondering a little at Jimmy’s words;
then he rode away.
This was Mr. Harley’s first visit with his
nephews, and thus far he had been pleased
with their bright, intelligent faces and kind
behavior. Still there was something in
Jimmy’s appeal to his brother that im
pressed him unfavorably, he conld hardly
tell why; but the oloud of disfavor had van
ished from his mind when, two hours later
he turned his horse’s head homeward. Jnst
in the bend of the road he met his nephews,
Jimmy hearing a gun over his shoulder.
“Did yonr father give yon permission to
carry that gnn?” he enqnired.
“Yes, sir,” replied Jimmy; “didn’t he,
Dan?”
“Of course he did,” said Dan.
“And of oonrse I believe yon, Jimmy,
withont your brother’s word for it,” said
Mr. Harley.
Jimmy’s face flushed, and his bright eye
fell below his Uncle’s gaze. Mr. Harley
noticed his nephew’s confusion, and rode
on withont further comment.
“This map of North America is finely ex
ecuted; did you draw it, Jimmy?” asked
Mr. Harley that afternoon, while looking
over a book of drawings.
“Yes, sir,” replied Jimmy, with a look of
conscious pride; then turning to his brother
he added, “Didn’t I. Dan?”
Mr. Harley closed the book and laid it on
the table.
“Jimmy,” he began, “what does this
mean? To every question I have asked
you to-day yon have appealed to Dan to con
firm yonr reply. Can not yonr cwn word be
trnsted ?”
Jimmy’s face turned scarlet, and he
looked as if he would like to vanish from
his Unole’s sight.
“Not always,” he murmured, looking
straight down at his boots.
“My dear boy, I was afraid of this.” said
Mr. Harley kindly. “The boy who always
speaks the truth has no need to seek con
firmation from another. Do yon mean to
go through life always having to say:
“Didn’t I, Dan?”
“No, Uncle; I am going to try to speak
the truth, so that people will believe me as
well as Dan.” said Jimmy, impulsively.
Mr. Harley spent the season with his
nephews, and before he left he had the
pleasure of hearing people say, “What’s
come over Jimmy Page? He never says
lately ‘Didn’t I, Dan?’ ”
Mr. Harley thought it was becanse Jimmy
was gaining confidence in himself. Do yon,
children?—Little Soiver.
Baby Willie.
Little Willie laughed and clapped his
hands, and then stretched them out to catch
the pretty sunlight that streamed in upon
his bed in the crib. All the children laughed,
and Charlie said:
“SiJly baby.”
“Not so silly, after all; it is a very pretty
thought,” said mamma. “It is what God
wacts all His children to do—catch the sun
beams. Look at baby’s face and see;” and
sure enough the little fellow had bent his
head forward until the golden light was on
his rosy cheeksjand bright curls.
“I think I know what mauilna* uTSKos/
said Lonie, looking into the baby's laugh
ing face. “She means catoh the — the —
happy, and be glad instead of cross.”
“That is it,” said mamma. “There is
happiness all around ns. If we try to oatch
it for ourselves and make others happy too,
won’t that be like sunshine ?”
“Yes, and if things don’t go just right we
can call it clondy weather; but we can be
cheery, and so make sunbeams of our own.”
“And then yon will be my sunbeams,”
said mamma, with a pleasant smile.—Sun
beam.

Dear Cousins: Many times have I scanned
the contents of the Letter Box, but never
conld see my letter, so 1 conld not resist the
temptation of writing again.
Leslie, yon muBt cheer us again with yonr
presence, for I know the Letter Boxers
must be delighted when they see a letter
from yon. I know you enjoyed your trip to
Europe.
Have any of you read Waver!y novels?
I have read one volume and think it very
interesting. I intend reading them all.
Do any of the oousius stndy art? I can
draw a little, and am very fond of it. I
never took lessons but one mouth.
I think Rose Bnd’s letters are splendid.
I know she deserves all the praise she gets.
My favorites are Calla Lily, Rose Bud,
Strawberry, Canary and Dark Hair.
If I prove an uninteresting correspond
ent, you must attribute it to my yonthfnl-
ness. I am studying hard and hope some
day to be a fluent writer. It is the height of
my ambition to be an intelligent and useful
lady.
I would like to have a nice little girl cor
respondent selected for me. I will endeavor
to entertain her. I hope I will be treated
with more courtesy than before.
I will come again if this letter does not
share the fate of my first.
With much love for the cousins, I remain,
Wenonah.
Dear Cousin: At the door another Texas
boy, by adoption, presents himself nnder
the now of Nimrod, becanse he is a great
hunter, although there are no fish or any
kind of game in this country. I used to
live in Sonth-east Arkansas, where game
and fish are abundant. Once my little
brother and I had been hunting nearly all
day, when we oame home tired and hungry,
and were sitting in the front yard waiting
for our dinner to be prepared, when like a
flash, a wild deer bounded over the fence
into the yard and started toward our field,
hot my little pointer was too quick and
seized it just as it jumped out. Iu the mean
time my little brother seized a stick and
went for that deer and slew it with his own
hands, and verily I say he was a proud boy.
I have been a silent admirer of the S. S.
for two years, and can. say that is tbe best
oat of a dozen papers we take. There is a
bird that lives here in Texas, which is abont
the size of a blue bird, but has an enor
mously long tail, and for this reason it is
called scLsortail. Another “varmint” is a
horned frog, which is no frog at all, but a
kind of lizzard that has four large horns on
its head, and numerous smaller ones on its
body. If the head of this department wants
one of these, I will send it to her.
If I am well received by the oousins, I
will give some of my adventures in Arkan
sas, and if I now escape the W. B. you may
expect to hear again soon from
Nimbod.
Austin, Texas.
Dear Cousin: I am a constant reader of
the dear old S. 8., and enjoy the oousins let
ters very muoh, and would, indeed, be de
lighted to join their band. Now hoys and
girls will you allow me to come in? If so,
now is your chance, I am the girl.
“I am whole heart and fancy free,” now
whioh one of you will bid for me? Gan’t I
persuade one of you to love me—just a lit
tle? If eo, be certain to let me know, and
I will send my address and we will corres
pond through the mail. Will you meet me
and tell me I am welcome? Love to the
girls and my sweetest smiles to the boys.
I’m The Gibl.
P. 8.—Should I see this in print, I wii call
again.
Tribute of Respect to “•Cousin
Lillian."
I hope sinoereiy that this letter will not be
deemed an intrusion by the editors and
friends of our dear Cousin Lillian, for it is
tendered as a tribute of respect by one of
the members of the L. B. who tenders his
deepest, sympathy to her bereaved and sor
rowing family.
(Inly a few brief weeks ago and all was
sunshine, and we were receiving sweet words
of encouragement from Consin Lillian. It
seemed as though a long vista of pleasure
and joyous anticipation had opened before
ns. It may indeed have been too bright to
last—tiie brightest flowers bloom bat to
decay.
Sometimes onr pathway in life is so strewn
with flowers, that envious of such enjoy
ment on earth, we are called to a brighter
and more fitting sphere.
In onr saddest hour of grief and painful
bereavement there are gleams of consola
tion, that cheer ns and give promise of the
beautiful beyond—the land of flowers and
everlasting life.
It is pleasurable for those who have lived
in the way of God, to look back when they
feel their dissolution approaching and realize
frnitions of joy and hope as they break upon
them and drink in nnalloye 1 delight in call
ing np halcyon hours and sweet memories
that they may bid cheer to the present and
future.
Dear Cousin, though we miss the bright
Biiu p’oasant words of our dear Cousin Lil
lian, let us think of her iu the bright world
beyond, “Where there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow nor crying.”
There is no death! The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in Heaven’s jeweled crown
They shine forever more.
There is no death! The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer showers,
To golden grain or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
There is no dealh! An angel form
Walks o’er the earth with silent tread;
He bears our best beloved things away,
And then we call them dead.
And ever near us. though unseen.
The dearimmortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless universe,
Je life—there are no dead.
In sorrow, Boz.
Dear Cousins : Oh how sad I was when I
hea d of Cousin Lillian’s death. I was out
in trie country when I heard the sad news.
How strange it is that Leath’s dark angel
always takes from ns the one we most love.
No, no! I would not wish her back into
this world or sorrow.
‘•But O ! for the touch of a vanished hand
And the sound of a voice that is still.”
While we mourn for her, she is on that
bright shore wrapped in garments of light,
and warbling songs of celestial joy. Her
chair in our midst is vacant. Kind editors,
give ns another Queen as near like the one
we have lost as you can find, so that we will
not feel our loss so heavily.
“Bright, and good, and loving and true.
She was a model for us all,
Sad our hearts when fell the blow,
And she went to the loving Savior’s call.”
Japan Lily.
Dear Cousins : 1 have written two letters
before this, and was so delighted at having
my letters published. I thought there would
be no trouble in finding some one to talk
to, but not one of the oonsins has ever spo
ken to me yet, bnt it is quite a pleasure to
see yon all anyway. But I promised in my
last letter to tell you of my home and
friends. I live in a little cottage situated
near the railroad. I have a right nice lit
tle fiower yard where I stay most of my
leisure time. I like to watoh the people on
one_I kqow^ Some of
YtT..'ssengers know me and wave', but they
go by so quick I seldom ever recognize
them. I expect some of the consins have
seen me when passing down the Macon
road. May be you will know me when I
get a badge. <
Editors, tell me how shall I get one. Shall
I send to yon? I am very anxions for ona.
I have not told yon of my friends yet, but
will do that next time if you will let me in
again.
Lynette, yonr letters are so jolly and live
ly. Lynette please write me one letter and
tell me something funny. I promise to an
swer yon as pleasantly as I can.
Little Birdie, who are you? Yonr nom is
nearly my name; just take the “d” out of
your nom and put in another letter, and
you will have my real name, Let’s see if
you get in the right letter?
I am going now. Good-bye to you all.

A Few Word# from Captain R.
W. Bonner, a Well-Known
Citizen of Macon.
In August, 1881, nearly three years ago, my
son, who was at that time living at Clinton,
Ga., came over to see me with the sad intel
ligence that his wife was In the last stages of
cousuinFtion and that her physician had pro
nounced her case hopeless. I wentim.redi-
at.elv over, and 1 felt that nothing could be
done. She was coughing and spitting inces
santly. and at times would discharge from
her lungs a large quantity of pus or matter—
could not sleep or retain anything on her
stomach, and was, in fact. In the last stages
ot the disease. This was about the time you
began to advertise Brewer’s Lung Restorer*
aud. as my son expresseda desire to give it
to his wife, two or three bottles were pro
cured aud with scarcely a vestige of hope we
commenced giving It to.her in small doses,
gradually increasing the quantity until the
prescribed dose was reached. She began to
improve alter a few doses, and continued to
do so daily until she was finally restored to
life and health, and is to-day perhaps In bet
ter health than ever before. She Is subject to
colds, bui a few swallows of Brewer’s Lung
Hestor (which she is never without) relieves
her immediately. I consider her restoration
to perfect health a miracle, for which she Is
Indebted to Brewer’s Long Restorer. My son
Is almost a mono aniac on the subject of
Brewer's Lung Restorer and never lets an
opportunity pass where he thinks snch a
medicine would be required, that he does not
speak of it in most glowing terms. Not long
since a Northern gentleman on his way to
Florida heard of this cure and was Induced by
my son to give It to his invalid wife, and she
was cured as if by magic.”
Mr. Charles Eden, of Trinidad, Colorado,
says: Seeing certlflcatee of tbe wonderful
curee made by Brewer’s Lung Restorer, x was
Induced to try it on my little son, who was
troubled with lung or throat affection, pro
nounced bv one physician consumption. It
acted wonderfully od him, and by the time,
he had taken one bottle oi It the cough dis
appeared. 1 am now on avis t to my parents
in Georgia, but will return In a few days to
my home and will certainly take some ot the
Lung Restorer with me.
