ploring the awamp or land Ibat

gave bint the issue of the rlEBALD
containing n peneial description
of Yazoo county and aucb In for

We deemed i( unnecessary lo

the people amongst whom the
UERALD viicnlatea k.niw all about
Yazoo counly and sea ice I a week
passea in which tbe UEHALD iIopn
not have more or less lo aay on
the aubject. A very general igno
rauce seems to prevail with re
grd lo Ihe Yazoo Valley. Tha
impresHion seems lo be, amongst
luose even who hnve lived near
it, ibat It was an immense awamp,
never tilled, until llin recent con
alipclmii of our excellent leveea
bail opened it up for Hprieultuial
purpoaes, I' ew seem fo under
stand t It it t the lereea were buill to
protect the flni-st farming land in
tbe world and not for Hie purpose
of opening ii awamp lands. As
lo Ihe mellioila f tilling the anil,
some of our Valley plauiera have
used anccessfully the beat unpiov-
ed agricultural imulementa, but
Iheiecau be iioqueation that such
ia Ihe exception and not the rule.
With the labor we have, ire Imye
known thu experiment tried, lo
result in failure.
Amongst p, miters whose euc
cesa might compare favorably
with farmers nnywheie we might
note mimy In the Valley. They
never fail lo make a splendid ciop
whenever Hie season ia favorable,
keep (heir places in good condition
and manage well, liul we do not
utilize our soil aa we should. Ya-
lo comity should produce every
e.u Km ' tiorlM '' '
county, every ear of corn or quan
tity of meal. We have aome tine
bogs aud flue cattle. We should
never have occaaion to send off
for any meat. Our country ia the
moat lavored by nature of ituy on
tbe globe foi aaiiculluial purpo
ses. We have the clitual', lie
soil, the limber, ihe iailil..ll,
everything in fact. That variona
causes have conspired to prevent
our people from being aa prosper
oua aa they might be, nil will ad
mil. Many have acquired fortune
but many olliets have failed in do
so. We have lacked the capital,
tbe labor to accomplish all that
abould be accomplished, wbeo we
get both we will be better off.
Men from the Kotib and West aa
well as foreigners settling
amongst ua, have heretofore mark
ed out no new paths. Thev have
takeu np cotton junt aa our people

Yazoo county ta shaped not un
like a triangle, and like that bia

good deal ol uoiae iu Ihe world

Lands can bn bought today for

dollars worth of cottou or corn, or
buudreda of dollara worth of veg
eiables, fruits and beriiea can be
produced, while limber lauds, gi

values can not long contiuue.be
cause here exist all the convent
eucea of civilized aud enlightened
life, railroad and water trauspor
talion, markets, wagon roads,
schools, churches, agreeable and
cullnied sociely, and a genial and
healthy climate. It is a country
that allures immigration and lu
vitas the hand of industry. Per
baps thu read ci will ask why this
country for which so much ia
claimed baa not nude greater pro
glees. liecaoso the Norlb a Ad
South lived uuder two different
systems, Ihe North invented labor
saving implements and saved hu
man muscle, while the Soulh de
pended upon muscle, a muscle
competent lo handle a slout hoe
aud guide a mule attached to a
four inch plow. These rude iin
plemeuts mads cotton, and cotton
was cusli. Tbe war upset aud de
moialized Hie labor system, and
the country ia just beginning to
rally from tiie long (rain of iltsas
teis bequeathed by the war. Th
war is oyer and its great issue a
thing of Ihe pasl. Children bora
since tbe last gun was fired ate
voters today, il was Ike verdict
of Ihe war that the North, South,
East and West must live together.
The man who fans uny old flame
of discord is not a (rue Aineticau.
Sectionalism is disappearing and
forget fulness is easy when the fu
ture in eo bright. The couutr
has had enough of war, mid every
honest aud worthy citizen is now
busy winning the victories of
peace. Tbe people ol the United
Slates are ueaier together than
ever before, aud to make the whole
country great uud prosperous
should be the desire aud aim of
all sections.

soils and a diversified surface con

In ihe past few days many und

from our citizens lo reorganize

and ao efficient an organization lo

I will slate lo 'lie public , hat
the ins! i omenta of the baud were

been sold while several members
having moved away look Iheir in

these lus'rnments wpb music etc..

the enirrp'iaing and public spirit

be coitiosed laigely cf the old

certain of gelling together, I am
roi'tident that in a very brief lime
Yazio City will have a band Ihe
