Some months ago wo look occa
sion to suggest to tlio farmers of
Lincoln county that they should raise
r.ioro tobacco. It teemed to us that
fbo demand for this staple, which
' is' sufllclcnt to ensure remunerative
prices fully demonstrated the wisdom
f A ..it.. ...i
01 our. suggestion, especially wncii
.oilier facta, patent to every farmer
aro taken into consideration : tho
adaptability of our soil to the growth
of this article, and tho low prices of
those staples to which our farmers
have heretofore given mora attention,
We have been reminded of this by
' rending tlio 'Account of tho tobucco
f dr just held at St. Louis. This was
held under tho auspices of tho to
1 bacco association which was organ
bud last year, and wlibso principal
object is to encourago tho growth of
tobacco lu this state At this fair
more than ten Ihousaud dollars were
p-dd in cash premiums. The highest
pl-cniiuins in classes one, two, throe
and ilvo was ono thousand dollars,
, Tlmy were taken by Williamson
county, Illinois, and Pike, Callaway
and Charlton counties, Missouri.
The bulk of tobacco on exhibition
was from the lust named three coun
ties. Several of the cithteus of Lin
coln were in attendance, but it docs
i:ot appear that our county hud uuy
tobacco on exhibition. We can ac
count for this upon no other hypothe
sis than that theso counties lead us in
trio enterprise of their farming com
munities. Wo aro satisfied that in
the raising of any grade of tobacco
we can successfully compcto with
either of theso counties, or with uuy
in the state. We have n considerable
arcuoflutid that produces the finest
quality of golden wrapper)' leaf
f.uch tobacco us when properly cured
and huudled, bring the fancy price"
of tho murkct. This soil is dlstrlb
u;ed pretty evenly over tho country
occupying considerable breadth in
every township. We refer to the
timbered upland, covered principally
with a growth of white oak, and
whose soil is light, porous and quick.
With an ordinary season, and good
oaro, an average crop of seven hun
dred and fifty pounds can bo pro
diu.:'d to the acre. Let any ono no-
tico tuo usual quotations lor this
C.rado, und tho large proltt for dm
capital ninl labor invested will bo at
once apparent.
There is a prevalent idea, and no less
erroneous t him prevalent, that only
on such soli us we have jv t. referred
to, can tobacco be profitably grown.
it is the experience of somo of tho
heaviest producers in this stale, lu
Illinois ami in other states, that to
bacco can bo grown with profit on
prairie lauds. To Insure this result,
it is only necessary to see that the
drainage Is not neglected und that
the soil bo sufficiently manured to
lorce a quick growth. Asldo Irom
the light upland, tho most of our soil
will yield from one thousand to fif
teen hundred pounds of tobacco.
This product will include somo of
the boa grades of manufacturing leaf.
That tho demand will always equal
the supply is a certainly. The de
mand for homo manufacture Is to-day
much greater than tho state can sup
ply. Missouri draws her supplies
from Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia
and North Carolina. In extent of
Manufacture, Missouri has, lu the
past low years, outstripped many o'
tho older states, and is now only
":cond to New York. Whilo this is
tj, and notwithstanding her great
natural advantages, she allows other
m& smaller states to surpass her in
tho production of this staplo ami she
makes only tho tilth in this respect.
Villi is a uiiMuko that, It seems lu us,
tight to bo rectified. Wo feel the
neuvy bitrdons of exorbitant rates
2'ar freight transportation and yet we
also staples that we do uot use, and
ho staples that wo do not raise,
i'ho , undoubted rcmcdvls: More
tobacco ami less corn and fewer hog.
Tobacco requires but littlo more
Mbor than corn, and thr market for
it is nut Mihjout to the same fluctua
tions nnd depression as is (hut of
:orn ami
t.t' flln in
i uutitry adds a? surely to It wrallu ns

Our greatest need in this particular
..in bo removed by the course we
:tave suggested, Lot our intelligent

in hand.

Death ok a Jouhnambt. Maj.
Henry Ewlng, senior proprietor of
the St. Louis Time, died at his rest
In Hint nit von the 13th IllSt., of
typhoid fever, after un illness of ten
weeks. Mai. Ewlng was only thirty
ono years of ngc, but posscssod great
fm-m nf nlinrnntnr 'and cneriTV. He
flgurod consplcotisly In llio Conlcder
ato army, first on the staff of Gen.
Zolllcoffcr, nnd was by Ids sido when
that gallant oflleor was shot down nt
the battle of Mill Springs in 1862.
His gallant conduct on that occasion
secured him a position on tho staff of
Gen. John S. Marmntliiko with the
rank of lieutenant, being afterwards
promoted to I ho rank of major nnd
mado inspector-general, which posl
ho held until tho cupturo by tho fed
eral forces of Gen. Mariuaduko at the
buttle of Mine creek, Kansas; subse
quently ho was assigned to duty as
Gen. Fagon's chlcf-of-stnlT, holding
that position until tho closo of the
struggle. In 1869 he located hi St.
Louis nnd bought a third interest in
tho Times; last summer he increased
his proprietorship of that Journal by
purchasing tho one-third interest of
Mr. Stilsou Hutchins. It was large
ly duo his practical business qualities
and energy that the Times attained
Its present popularity and worthy
standing among the ablest journals of
tlio West.
An cxamplo of how "loyalty" paid
during the lato war was shown up iu
tho United States district court for
Kansas. Ono Brown, a rcsidout of
Virginia, owned considerable prop
ci ty In that state to which somo ot
the superlatively loyal ones took a
fancy, and which under cover ot the
confiscation act they proceeded to
sell and divide among themselves.
Tho proceeds amounted to $30,000,
and the parties who "went for" them
aro Thos. A. Osborn, the present
governor of tho stale, II. C. Cro.icr,
one of tlio judges of the Supreme
Court, John S. Morton, state district
judge, J. L. McDowell, United States
marshal, United States district judge
Dilehay, and other equally zealous
in the cause. It is gialifying to
know that they have beeu compelled
to disgorge their plunder. Justice is
slow but it is sometimes sure.

The Harvest of Benth.
Like the sands in tho hour glass,
ono by ono, our oldest and best citi
zens pass away. Hardly docs the sad
tones of tho death bell telling us that
death is busy in our midst ccaso, ere.
like a thief in the night, the same mid
Hound breaks upon our ears to re
mind us that "dust wo are und unto
dust must wo return."
During the past year many of our
oldest and most honored citizens
have crossed over the dark nnd tin bid
river of death; and now wo nro
culled upon to mourn tho denth of
another good and true man. Bene
dict Crump departed this life at his
residence iu Troy at 18 minutes to 4
o'clock p. in., on Monday the Dili day
of lids month.
Mr. Crump was born in Greenup
county. Kentucky, November 7lh
1818. (lis rather moved to Calloway
in this slate, when the subject of this
uotlco was quite a boy ; remained in
thai county until he reached man
hood's estate, when ho moved and
sottled in this place, some twenty
eight or thirty years ago. Ever since
his settling here ho bus been a useful
and honorable member of society.
In early life ho Joined Hie Christian
Church, and as n member thereof was
a worthy example, nnd at the time of
Ids dcntli was an elder of the church,
and died in the full assurance of im
mortal and eternal lite. -
Ho leaves a wife and three children
to mourn and cherish his memory.
nnd, wo hope to imitate his noble
cxamplo. Ho was a husband and
father In every sense of the endearing
terms ; a kind and generous neigh
bor ; a strict uud conscientious busi
ness mini, against whom tho writer
never heard an unkind ward or inn-
ondo : he was universally respected
by all who knew him : ho wnsuener-
otis to u fault, over ready uud willing
to relieve thosulloriiigsot the needy:
he was tho friend of education and
gave liberally of his scanty means to
foster schools. His place iu the
church of which ho wus u member
will have to bo filled nnd his loss to
society is a heavy one; but let his
bereaved family ami friends remem
ber that the grave iu which ho now
sleeps is only the g ito which ushers
mm to ti home in Heaven.

wore being removed to Uoylls camp.
they were attacked by a company of
Oregon volillltoore, antt Aro ur six or

The Oregon papers all condemn the

Indians should be guilty of like
treachery, us

The newspapers of the state as far
as wo have seen, with but two excep
tions, emphatically endorse the reso
lutions introduced into tlio cr.iiveu

that body, which iu substance assert
that tho publishing of u newspaper
a business enterprise, which should
bo managed on strictly business
principles, and Hint those who want
the use of its columns, whether in
commercial, political or personal ad
vertising, must pay for it. Wo voted
for theso resolutions severally and
collectively, mid we intend to carry
them out to the letter.
