m The communication signed LEAKE an
nounces another gentleman as a candidate for the

that il was the intention Of Col CaPers to have
had his name announced sometime since, but
owing to some mistake on the part Of the gen.

enhancement. it has been omitted until now.
# 70 hut an act ofjustice TO all parties concern
al that we should now refer to the matter.
C.orRrrsY-It has been an invariable rule
with US, during the sessions Of our State and Ma
tiopal Legislatures to forward to each Of o'HReP-
rosentatiyes a copy of our publication, not on
IL - matter of courtesy on our part, but also, to
keen them informed Of passing events IN the
State. AS soon as Judge TRorTER left for
Washington. we entered his name on our bst'
and have. until the present, forwarded him the
Southern Argus regularly. One day last week
Jndpe Trotter returned one OF our papers, ON
which was written the following:
4Mr. Trotter declines the honor OF taking the
Argus. and hopes Col Barker win not trouble
himself with putting it up for him again"
We leave our readers TO make their own
comments on this very polite note OF "Ar Irot-
ter our Honorable United States Senator.
Police OF CoLUMBUs.-On Saturday
morning last. on entering Main-street, we
found it almost completely blockaded; and
Carpenters benches, scatfolds, empty bar
rells, &c. hanging about the horse-racks and
awning posts in great disorder. To stran-
Ger. this sight would certainly give him but
a very poor opinion of the energy Of our
nublic authorities, and of love of order
! and ncatness among our citizens. It IS a
serious fact that cur streets are kind OF
public workshop and general receptacle

from one end of Main street to the other
on almost any day, you will meet with oo-
structions of every kiRd. Ono day last
week, lady in passing was -besPa:tere,'
with shower of liquid mortar which ne
gro was mixing on the side walk, which
ruined silk dress. Indeed it is to us mat
ter of surprize that the ladies Of our city
have even the hardihood of encountering
the manifold dangers which they expose
themselves to at all, except in iHSey, in
performing their little duties Of shopping.
While on this subject We will allude to the
innumerable number of hogs which arc per-
mitted to roam Sock Of the Walk" Of

of every citizen that passes. Why are
these things so! Have not the Police pow.

complained OF.

PROSPECTUS OF
THE MISSISSIPPI JUSTICE, AND
CONSTABLES GUIDE.

TIME scarcity Of the Revised Code and
II sheet acts Of the Legislature, and the
difficulty with which the Justices and Cor
stables Of this State supply themselves, and
the great want Of such work, as Justice
of the Peace on my own part, has induced
me to offer to the Justices and Consiables
Of this State digest Of all the Laws in force,
in relation 10 their duties, &C., together
with complete set Of forms of Deeds,
Wills, Bonds, Acknowledgements of Dover,
and other instruments.
To place such work ia the hands Of our
Justices and Constables would save much
trouble and time to the officers tor whom the
work is intended. As the law now stands,
it is with the utmost difficulty to be ascer-
tanned whether written law is in force or
not, which often misleads us.
The work will be published in one Duo
decimo volume, law binding, comprising
from two hundred and fifty to three hundred
pages, with digested index Of the contents,
giving a condensed statement of all it cor
tains. The work will be ready for delivery
the LIST of March, 1889.
Terms made known on delivery.

Dear Snr-The season for receiving and
disposing Of Cotton, is near at hand, and we
take this method of advising you Of the ar
engagements which this lnstitation has made
for fulfilling the engagements shO has en-
tered into with the planters. w. II. Wash
ington, at Vicksburg; Muir, Moore g. Co.,
at Grand Gulf; and Mr.. w. Dalhgreen, at
Natchez, will act as our agents in receiving
and storing Cotton, at their Steam Presses,
and receipt for the same. The Cotton
which we receive on account of the planter,
will be shipped to foreign market, or sold
at home, at the option Of. the planter;-if
shipped, the premium on bills of exchange
drawn against the nett proceeds Of the Cot
ton, will be applied to your credit. Should
you prefer shipping to any house OF your
Oun selection, or have the Cotton sold under
yow own direction, il will suit US to have
the business done through such houses sit
will also suit US to have the Cotton sold for
our own money. Such balances as may be
due you, We will pay in par funds of the
State.
We are now rapidly receiving returns of
sales Of Cotton, which we shipped during
last season, on account of the planters; and
although the market has been dull through
out most of the season, the returns show that
the sales are better than we had anticipated,
and such as we hoEe will give satisfaction.
The great delay in receiving returns, has
been a cause Of dissatisfaction to many
the improved prices, however, which we
have been enabled TO realize by the delay,
show that the policy Of holding up the Cot
ton from early sale, has been for the best.
In the management Of the Cotton which we
may ship during the present season, our OBJ
iect will be, as heretofore, to realize the We
ry highest prices which can DO obtained.
In doing SO, we shall be benefitting the
planter and the bank.
Relying on your prompt compliance with
your engagements to us,
am, sir,
Your obd't serv't.

P.S. Par funds will be furnished to buy
bagging, rope, and provisions, on applica-
ton at the bank, or the articles paid for in
par funds, wherever purchased--Cotton be-
ing delivered for our account.

Office Of the Mississippi Shipping Company
NATcHEz, Sept. 8, 1898.


ENHE liberal encouragement which this
~ Company has received during the past
season, has induced them to demOlish their
Temporary structures, and erect in their Pla-
ces ertensire and Convenient brick sheds for
storing Cotton and other produce, and to en-
close their Steam Machinery within brick
walls, rendering the whole establishment as
safe from fire as it is possible to make il, and
securing the property which may be intrust-
ed to their care from every depreciation.
The wharf in front of the Bellevue Press,
will be filled up and made easy for boats to
land, and light will be kept during the
night to shew the landing, and clerks ready
at all times to receive and receipt for pro
perry received.
The practicability Of importing merchan-
die by sea vessels to the Port of Natchez,
and of shipping thence our own produce, has
been fully tested by the experience Of the
last four years, and particularly by the ope-
rations of the last year, this Company alone
having despatched twenty-six vessels, con-
tanning over Mirty-seren thousand bales of
Cotton, to Liverpool and other distant ports
with advantage to the ship owners and the
community at large. 1t is now well ascer-
tanned, that no necessity exists for con6ding
our business and transferring large amour,
of our annual revenue, in tho shap pc Of com
missions and charges, 10 the citizens of an
other State, and il is against the interests OF
our people to do so. Money can be saved
the Planter by shipping from our own ports,
and if commissions and charges must be
paid, it is better that 1t should be for the i'm
provement of our own State.
The operations Of last year have also
demonstrated that it is entirely within the
power of our Planters and Merchants to ere.
ate markets for the Cotton of the State with
in our own borders, and under their imme-
date inspection and superintendent, and to
ship to foreign Merchants to great advan-
tage and al. a small expense through agen
cies at home.
The Mississippi Shipping Company, in
corporated by the Legislature Of this State,
has expended large sums in the purchase Of
suitable property at the Upper Landing, and
in the erection Of Steam Cotton Presses, Cot
ton Sheds, &c. as above stated, from which
vessels can be despatched as promptly and
with cargoes in as good condition as from
any port in the United States. They have
secured experienced and competent agents
for the transaction of their business, and are
now prepared to receive and forward Cotton
and other produce, to sell the same in Nat
chez, in New Orleans, in the Northern CT
ties, or in Europe, and generally to perform
all the duties of Factor 10 the Planter, upon
the terms stated below, to which your alien
ton is invited.
When Cotton or other produce is deposit
ed at the Bellevue Press by the Planter, it
can be either sold in Natchez or shipped to
any designated point, as conveniently as
from any other part Of the City.
