Ayer's Hair Vigor is due to lira fact

BELLE MEADE.
A Visit to the Great Stock Farm
of General Harding.
THE HOME OF THE FAMOUS IROQUOIS,

This foat of the sainted Iroquois makes him
the histone stallkm of the country.
The okl houM is still standing which was
erected by John Harding over one hundred
years ago Tn this house William G. U anting
was bora in 130& At the tunc Nashville was
but a straggling village, and the Indians from
the surrounding country made frequent trips
thereto for trade, it wx« their custom to stop
at the house of John Harding as they passed,
and by him they were always welcomed. This
is the farm upon which the Hardings, father
aad son, lived all their lives, and upon which
they accumulated a fortune. By purchases
the .units of the farm were continually in
creased until, at the death of William G.
Handing, al'ont a year ago. it embraced 4,(MX)
acres, to which 1,900 acres have since been
added by his heirs

his f-.mi. so that lie give them employ
ment. He never bought but one slave, and
sold but one- -who had killed his brother, and
of whom the rest of the family was afraid.
< hath s Sumner is said to have complimented
General Hauling upon the niaiiagen-.ent of his
slaves, am! to have declared that it all masters
wore like Harding, he would have to revise his
opinion of slat ery.
The fume ot Harding’s horses spread abroad,
and tie became a recognized authority on the
turf. His stables were always filled with win
ners of the fastest records; and his aunu.d
: ales were attend' d by horsc-fanciers from all
parts of the union, who often paid what seem
ed to lie fabulous prices for a lavorite strain.
The crowning triumph of his career on Hie
turf was when tiro celebrated Iroquois bore off
the Derby.
Notwithstanding his long career on the turf,
and tliiit he was so often the owner of the win
ning horse, he never gambled upon the re
sult. in early life he had formed the reso
lution never to bet. Whi n taunted for his in
consistency in being opposed to gambling and
still ronwining a patron of the turf, he replied;
‘‘Without the race course the world would
never have known of the great powers of Lex
ington, the horse that lias contributed more to
the improvement of his race than any of his
predecessors. I am aware of the prejudices
existing against the race course by religionists,
generally on account of its immoral tendency.
That these prejudices are not altogether
groundless, T admit; but that the immoralities
of a well regulated race course are greatly
luiignilitd by those who know least of its oper
atioiis, idifii periecily satisfied: that ii nra ■■ Tfi~

one, 1 advocate liis lire, i rvatii n, and at the
same time call upon tlie umr.ili its to unite with
mo in the effort to remove nil objectionable
features that may attach to the institution so
necessary to his development."
‘•Onee,” said he,‘T felt a tremor pa*-; over
mo ns I realized tho power of temptation." Ho
had entered his favorite mare Gamma against
the celebrated horse Magner. The owner
of Wagner said to him: “Os course,
general, you propose to back your entry. 1
will give vou a better bet than any one else
would bo likely to do. I offer you ten thous
and dollars against one thousand.’' "1 had the
one thousand. I had a special use fur the ten
thousand at that very time. Iliad full confi
dence that Gamma would win. Feeling the
force of the temptation, under excitement, to
violate a purpose 1 had deliberately formed to
guide my life, 1 turned away, walked a short
distance, turned the Question of gain and prin
ciple over in iuy tuimt. and turned back arid
declined the bet. Gamma won, but I was
then and over after, more gratified at my vic
tory over the tomptation to bet than of my
favorite’s splendid triumph over thy most
celebrated racer of the day.”

General AN If ,1a dcsoii and Judge Howell
E. Jackson married daughters of General Har
ding, and liaio thus passed into possession of
the splendid estate, which is now under tiro
business management of General W. H. Jack
sen. A talk with General Jackson elicited
much interesting information, and gives some
idea of the extent of the farm.
“We have now,” said he, “a,300 acres under
fence. Ijvirv emt of money made ‘on the
farm since INS! has been put back on to it.
An agrii iiliuri t should never contemplate the
sale of his possessions, but should always work
for An increase. We lime completed twenty
miles of stone fencing at a cost ol one dollar a
yard. Os course, if we contemplated sale, v.e
could not get tiial money back. The home
and its surround ngs have a value to the fam
ily which is settled there, such as it can have
to no one else, and the true farmer mu t not
count his labor by what he can get for it
in market but rather by its added pleasures to
home ami home life. 1 have been tn charge of
tlm estate sim IS7V. We have added eighty
brood mares since and seven thoroughlirod
stallions, at a eccst of Ms'i.tioo. The farm is
cairied on precisely as it was before the war.
The house servants and the farming force are
either the old negroes or their ihweoiidnnts.
Thi is the mill thoroughly preserved southern
home of the old style.
•'The system under which wo wot' is essen-
Gaily military. i'lie tarni is divided into ue
p.utments. e.uli with its responsible head.
There aie the departments of bh od stock, beet

that where tlm subordinate otiicers were iii

•There is a strict system ol' bookkeeping.

so that its exact ei st, ami the pretit or loss
therein, may be known on any given day.
There is a recoid kept of th o ' rainfall, the

goes to show that of all oeeupations successful
farming mid stock raising requires greater
li'.emltli of judgment, closer attention to busi
ness. and more energy mid care than any
other, mid that farnu'is must get out of the
idoa that slips!.od management of farms, leav
ing them in the care of their dullest hois, w ill

'Nothing is sold off the farms.” continued
General Jackson, “except tlmt which walks off
on four feet."
This is a striking picture of developing an
industry until it takes leg.- mid walks off itself
"We raise on the farm everything required for
eonsumpiiou by the stock. We thus turn over
our own profits, and find tliat we uro our own
• ■: t tist imers. The remainder of the land is
al! m the grazing grasses. The general public
sees but little of the farm—generally the blood
horses and the deer park. Everything works
with such sy stem that all are employed nt all
times. The bell rings for rising, for meals, for
alarms, and for signals, and the calls are un
derstood by all. In agriculture con
centrated capital is required to attain
the tost results just as much as
it is in any oilier calling in life. Where land
is dear, as iu the north, the struggle is to make
the mo t j>cr acre. Where land is cheap, as it
is here, the effort is to make the most per
hand. To do this requires central direction
ami large numbers of men.”
"General, wliat is your idea of the means
which should be taken to make small farmers
successful ?”
"The whole idea of small f irms." replied
General Jackson, "is a beautiful fallacy, ft
tend ■ to crowd people together,destroys hospi
tality and makes them grasping. It is charm
ing to look out of a car window, in passing
through New England, to see the numerous
w hite-paintevl farm houses, but when the
cliiliiien grow up the people have to crowd
ciosi r together, or else the children have to
move abroad.
"The ir t great essential for your Georgia

SUE HELD THE FORT.
The Grit Displayed by Mrs. Hulda Atoore-
Defylng tlie Officers.
DAMEt.svii.LK.Ga., December 19. —[Special.]
Mrs. Hulda Moore has outwitted the otiicers at
last, and is now hid out among friends.
At last Soprember term of our superior
court, judgment was obtained against Mr.
John Moore, husband of the famous Mrs. Hal
da Moore, for attorney’s fee. A motion for a
new trial was defeated, but served to postpone
collection till the January sale. Sheriff Scar
borough procieded to levy, but desisted in the
save of Mrs. Moore's fair promises, and on
Monday M rs. Moore came up ostensibly to settle
bringing certificates of depositjfrom the nation
al band of Athens. She requested Mr. Strick
land, plaintiff in the fi. fa. to write a receipt
in full, whice he did. She then requested to
see both receipt and fi. fa. After scrutenizing
them she placed them in her pocket and de
parted. The sheriff took out a possessory war
ront and followcil. Fair promise again pre
vailed. Failing to meet her engagement again
the sheriff wont to arrest Mrs. Moore, but
found her armed and defiant, threatening mur
der if he attempted to enter the house. The
sheriff returned without a prisoner.
—tor—Saturday thu sheriff. Deputy Sheriff
Henry McEwen and Messrs. Hugh Hardeman,
Lloyd Brooksand James S. McCurdy went
down to arrest under a possessory warrant.
On arriving Jim McCurdy went into the kitch
en, where Mrs. Moore and her cook were, to
s< e if he could not perform the mission peace
ably and without force. The woman was fu
rious, ami kept the tables between her and
McCurdy, levelling her cocked pistol, with fin
ger on the trigger, at him frequently. There
was no bluff in Jim, and when he saw there
was no other chance but to take
her by force, lie stepped out and gave
the posse the alarm, wherettpon
Mr- Moore tumped out and ran
through the orchard. As the men pursued her,
s’.ie <1 w two pistols, a British bull-dog, 38-
calibm'. i enter-fire, double-acting, and a Mar
<|.ii I.orno, fil’-caliber, and witli one in
each band, leveled them at Scarborough,
ib'iuks and Mei'urdy. Brooks and McCurdy
rushed toward her from different directions
and captured her, she firing the bull-dog
through Brooks's hand, doing but. little dam
age save burning it. Upon the others rushing
up. and in the seutHe, she drew the other pistol
on Deputy Shoriff Wash White and snapped,
but it failed to tire. Thereby he was saved from
deatli. When brought to town she refused to
go into any house, or to the fire anywhere, and
men crowded about her as she stubbornly
stood ami walked back and forth bareheaded
on the square, with the coid wind whistling
about her.
Finally she .’r.a seized by two strong men.
ami carried to the lire in Brook's & Williams
stere. • While by the fire, she spied a hatchet
on the mantel,’.and waited[iintil Jim McCurdy
turned his eyes off. when she sprang for the
hatchet. Mr. Ben Russell, who saw her ob
ject. snatched the hatchet in time to save Mc-
Curdy from death. Upon the arrival of Mr.
J. E. Sanders, J. F., she objected to his try
ing the case. Mr. J. N. Boggs was sent for,
when she struck that court also; her gante of
bluti was no good, ami she was committed to
jail, till she should thi n over the papers to the
arresting officer, or have them forthcoming to
be dealt with as the law directs.
She said she would die before she would
give up the papers,
Siu l was l arried to tke house*of Dr. Sorrell,
awaiting the return of her son. whowent homo
to get the papers. Her husbiuid, away in the
night, brought the papers, but she forbade him
giving them to the arresting party, and bade
him hand them to her. She nut them in her
pocket and said she would die before she would
gii o them up. She got siek, wont into another
room at Dr. Sorrell’s and went to bed, and
while some guards went away and some' slept
mid uniie didn’t guard very closely, site made
a h ap for liberty, jumping from a’ window in
tlie sleeping room about daybreak, and was
tracked across some plowed ground, where she
ran barofooted. Another posse weut for her
yesterday afternoon, but she was net to be
found. She is still at largo, and holds the
papers.

THE BLIZZARD.
Sad Stories of Suffering in the
West.
SETTLERS STARVING AND FREEZING
Lincoln, Neb., December 22. —It is believed
that reports of the blizzard sweeping over
western Nebraska will show that a number of
lives were lost in the storm. Owing to the
distance from the railroad of new and more
unprotected homesteads and settlers, the facts
cannot be known for several days. In the re
cently organized county of Pcrkius, the deaph
of a man and boy is reported. They were
attempting to make their ranche, twenty miles
from Ogallala, when tlie storm overpowered
them. Both were frozen to death. Another
man. named John Grant, who had been on
railroad construction work on the Black Hills
extension of the Burlington and Missouri
River road, was found dead a mile out from
camp. On the Arkansas line, no dead has
been discovered, although suffering is reported
as very severe.
DRIVER AND TEAM FROZEN.
Chicago, 111., December 22;—A Daily News
special from Topeka, Kan., says that Sir. J.
It. Hazletine, a banker of Johnson City, on
the frontier, is in the city. He reports that a
farmer named L. C. Clark, living near Golden,
Grant, county, left his family at home Monday
to go to Hartland, the nearest railroad point,
for the purpose of getting coal, his family be
ing entirely without fuel. He left Hartland
late Monday evening with his coal and next
morning was found about six miles from home
lying by the side of his horses frozen stiff.
The animals were also frozen and all of the
bodies partly covered by snow. Clark’s wife
and three children had. in the meantime, 1
nearly peri-hed and had only saved themselves
from death by leaving the shell of a house and :
taking refuge from tlie blizzard in a cave.
Two deaths are reported from Grecly county, I
situated on the Colorado line. A
brother and sister named Robert and
Sarah Holsuapfel, who lived on a :
claim in the unsettled portion of the county, i
found theinselvcs without fuel. Sunday even- :
in'i they tore down a small shed to burn the I
lumber’, and that night all but a small amount,
which they had themselves burned, was stolen
from them. Early in the morning the young
man went to the town of Horace, about seven
niili-s distant, and succeeded in getting two
hundred pounds of coal late in the afternoon.
Being obliged to travel against the furious
wind then blowing, he did not reach home
until nearly midnight. His limbs were then
numb and he was so exhausted that it was
with great difficulty he gained admission to
the house. He
FOUND HIS SISTER IN RED INSENSIBLE
and almost stiff. She had been without fire
all day and the poorly built house afforded
her little protection. Although the young
man was almost frozen himself, he tried to re
vive his sister, but to no avail. The other
death reported from Greely county is that of
a farmer, sixty years old, whose name cannot
be learned. He lived alone and was not with
out fuel, but without food. Being a recent
settler in the country, he had no acquaintances.
A widow named Reilly, and her two chil
dren, perished in the storm Monday night,
near Dighton, in Lane county. They were
without fuel and the storm came so suddenly
upon them that they were unable
to get it. The woman's oldest
son started out in tire storm to get
coal. He was cvercoino by the intense cold,
but fortunately wandered to the house of a
neighbor. He" was unable to speak and his
arms, feet and ears were frozen. By strenuous
efforts his leg was saved, although he will
probably loose his feet.
There are also reports of great suffering in
Clark county, on the Indian Territory line. A
family of four were traveling over land and
being but ten miles from home and several
miles from any other house, determined to
reach home that night in spite of the terrible
storm. The horses were overcome and the
family were obliged to abandon the horses and
wagon and walk miles to the nearest house.

The others reached the house badly frozen.
The condition of the people in western and
southwestern Kansas is very bad. This part
of tlie state lias been only recently settled, and
some of the counties are still unorganized—
nearly all the people settled on government
claims and wire without money, depending
entirely on tiro crop to be raised this fail. The
crops proved a total failure because of the
drought, leaving the people destitute. As a
general thing the people live in rudely built
huts, which afford very little protection.
A Daily News special from Topeka, Kansas,
says: “The situation in western Kansas has
greatly improved during the past twenty-four
hours. The weather has moderated and the
supply of coal is being increased. Twenty car
loads were shipped today from the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fc company’s mines hi Col
orado. which will be distributed at once to
towns most in need of fuel. This, it is believed,
will supply the destitute localities for one
week, and railroad officials think that by that
time thev will be able to supply the demand.
Every effort is being made by tho company to
get the coal from the mines.
THE WORST EVER .INOWN.
Wichita, Kan., December 22.—Additional
and general details of the results of the recent
blizzards were received today, which prove it
to have been the worst over known in the
state. The number of deaths by freezing and
starvation is believed to be at least sixty. 3
Galveston. Texas,December 22.—Freezing
weather prevailed here all day, and the city is
Covered with a coat of ice. The freezing line
extends beyond the Rio Grande somedistance
into Mexico. Dispatches to the signal officer
hero show that very cold weather prevails
throughout the cattle districts of Texas. The
thermometer at Fort Elliott, in the Pan Han
dle, registered six degrees above zero at eleven
o’clock this morning, mid weather of the same
degree of cold prevailed at Fort Davis, 190
miles southeast of El Paso. The cattle coun
try lies between these points.
While there have undoubtedly been
isolated cases of death from exposure, and in
stances of individual suffering from a scarcity
of provisions or coal, there is no doubt that
the condition of affairs have been greatly ex
aggerated and misrepresented by irresponsible
persons.
Clark county, Kansas, which has been repre
sented as being the region where the most suf
fering prevails, semis an emphatic denial of
the stories to the Timos tonight through A. L.
Cowden, postmaster at Ashland, tho county
seat. Mr. Cowden says that the storm waned
Tuesday. While there was a strong wind only
four inches of snow fell and the thermometer
did not go below zero.
G arden City, Kas., December 22.—1 n con
versation with a representative of eleven coun
ties of southwest Kansas, the Sentinel today
learned that in those counties there has been
no more suffering from the cold snap than is
usually experienced by people who are pro
vided against such emergencies by clothing,
food and fuel.
Wichita. Kansas. December 20.—Snow
commenced falling here yesterday morning
and bus come down steadily ever since. Later
in the day a blizzard set in from the north and
has hourly increased in violence. Advices are
to the effect that the blizzard is general over
tho west, and that it has caught the country
without any adequate supply of coal. It is
known that'railroad companies have from some
cause failed to supply the demand on the
plains. There is great fear that much suffer
ing and distress will result from this sudden
change of woathorasit is certain that entire
districts are almost entirely without fuel.
Bt. I’aul, Minn., December 20. The first
genuine blizzard of the season has been raging
in Dakota all day—a storm of snow as tine
as sand, driven bv a tierce wind and accom
panied by very low temperature. At Assanor
boiie tho thermometer indicated 28° below
at 5 o'clock this afternoon. Huron reports all
trains late, and those of the Northwestern
road are abandoned entirely. It had been
snowing in St. Paul almost all day, and at 10
p. m. is growing cold.
FItKKZINO TO DEATH IN KANSAS.
Kansas City, December 21.—The Times
has telegraphic advices which incicate that
there is terrible suffering in the western part
of Kansas. Four people are reported dead in
Clark county from cold, while near Dighton.
Kansas, a woman and her two children are
known to have porislied. There is a great
suffering iu that section of the state, O’W
a scarcity of cool Tho supply was exhausted
during the previous cold ".nap in the first part
of the month and the situation is now deplora
ble.
The suffering is augmented bj' the fact that
food is almost as scarce as fuel. Many of
the inhabitants are settlers who located claims
last summer and who are denendent on what
the railroads bring in. Tho railroads are try
ing do all in their powerto relieve the distress,
but they are handicapped by a scarcity of cars.
They have not enough to supply the urgent
demand for food, fuel and widespread distress
is inevitable unless the weather speedily mod
erates. The Santafe road has already an
nounced that it will ship free all supplies
which may bo collected for Clark couuty.
THE WORST OF THE SEASON.
Minneapolis, December 21.—The storm
which started in yesterday, and still continues
furiously in Minnesota, is by far the worst of
the season. The wind is strong and the snow
drifted badly. The storm was general in the
northwest. It was accompanied by very cold
weather Jin Dakota and northwest territory,
the lowest point reached being 28° below zero
at Fort Assinaboine. At o o'clock yesterday,
it had stopped at all points in Dakota except
Bismarck, and was moving east.
THE BLIZZARD IN CHICAGO,
Chicago, December 21.—The rain, mud and
slush which yesterday afternoon made life in
Chicago a burden, gave place during the night
to a cold wave from the northwest. It came
with a rush and inside of twelve hours there
was a drop of 35° in temperature. The signal
service reports the thermometer at 5° above
in the early morning hours: at 0 o'clock it was
Iff 3 above, but, though at 10 o’clock the sun
shone brightly, the rays had but a slight
warming effect. At 6 o'clock this morning
Fort Toiten, Dakota, reported the tempera
ture at 20° below; at Denver it was 14° below,
and at Montrose 20° below. Away down at
Fort Davis, Texas, the inhabitants were revel
ling in the novel luxuiy of a snow storm; and
at San Francisco the thermofneter stood at
26° above.
SUFFERING IN TEXAS.
Galveston, Tex., December 21.—Specials
to the News from all important points in
Texas report very cold weather from this sec
tion. Ice formed hero last Hight and also at
Corpus Christi, Brownsville and Rio Grande
City. In northern Texas tho weather is very
severe and snow has fallen at many points. It
is too early yet to ascertain the extent of suffer
ing and loss' to the cattle and sheep interests
but if the severe weather continues many day,
it will be very great..
Heavy Snowfall.
Columbus, Miss., December 24.—1 t has been
snowing here all the afternoon, the heaviest
snowfall ever seen in this section.
Fort Worth, Texas, December 2*.—Re
ports from Pan Handle show that eigiit per
sons were frozen to death tn Carson county
during the recent cold spell.
Alexandria, La., December 24.—1 t has
been snowing here all afternoon. In some
places the snow is from six to eight inches
deep, the heaviest snowfall in this section for
mally years.
Stories of Suffering in the West Greatly
Exaggerated.
Topeka, Kansas, December 24.—1 t would
seein from every information obtained at this
point that the report of suffering in westcrlr
Kansas lias been exaggerated. There have
actually been two deaths in Kansas and two in
Nebraska, and these have been reported to
make a scare. Crops in western Kansas have
been poor, and a great majority of settlershave
been there but a short time and are poor; but
they are not in a starving condition by any
means. A large portion are comfortably housed
in dugouts and have laid in a supply of cow
chips for the winter, which will keep them
from suffering. The weather is moderating,
ths thermometer ranging from forty to sixty
degrees above zero.
