For the Lexington Union.
THE TOWN OF FRANKLIN

Is situated eight miles SCUM east OF
Lexington, Che county site of Holmes
County, in one Of the most fertile, pleas
ant, and densely populated neighborhoods
in this State; The writer purposes to notice
its rises and progress since his acquaint-
ance with it, which comences early In the
year 1885, and extends to the present
time. Early in '35, the writer settled in
the above named village, he was an utter
stranger to all of its citizens, but notwith-
standing this was his unpleasant situation
he was by the magnanimous and warm
hearted citizens of Franklin, received with
open arms, and as brother amongst them,
and received at their hands numerous,
yea, numberless favours which he never
had expected to receive at the hands of
strangers; on becoming more thoroughly
acquainted with them he found that they
lived more like band of brothers than
strangers, who had promiscuously settled
in the same village from different states
in the union; each seemed to entertain
for the others welfare deep and lively
interest. This happy state of things con-
tinued for the space OF two years, when an
occurrence took place in this pleasant
village, which will only advert 10 in
order to show some Of its consequences;
| would to God ] could bury the recollec-
ton Of ii in oblivion--this occurrence. was
the cause Of great split in this little COM
muniiy amongst its hitherto brother!y Gill.
zens; which amounted to almost deadly
hetred between the two parties, from that
time each seemed to entertain for the other
a desire TO crush him TO the very earth if
possible-who, when they met each other,
instead OF the former salutations of" good
morning friend ---, Hope your family
is WE'LL" &C., you see them looking sheer.
ingly and sarcastically at each other as if
each prided in trying to look the other
into contempt. This unpleasant state Of
things continued for some twelve or eigh-
teen months, when it began gradually to
die away; but alas! the prospects Of the
hitherto promising village tina: was sup
ported and sustained by an extensive trade
from large number of the most solvent
men of this county we're here taken from
it; its hitherto bright prospects of becom-
ing one Of the first and most pleasant in
land towns in north Mississippi, were here
blasted but not forever for when we notice
the high beautiful and healthy location Of
this place, we are constrained to the be-
lief that it yet will be town noted at
least for its fine school and moral charac-
ter. will now suggest TO the citizens Of
franklin, what my humble opinion is in
cumbent upon them, if they desire that
their town should prosper; II is that they
all assist the corporate officers Of their
place in carrying into execution the laws
which have been made by them for the
good government of the place, which laws
are good and wholesome, SO far as l am
acquainted with them; this done, and all
having in view the same object, you may
with propriety expect return Of the once
brotherly feeling which existed in your
place.

The Democratic party are gaining
ground daily. We have no hesitation in
stating, that in our opinion, Gov. M'Nutt
will be elected by<an overwhelming ma
jority. We do not think Chancellor Tur-
ner can begin to push him. Our candi-
dates for Congress are in fine spirits-we
are informed that there will be no doub,
Of their election. Now let our friends
look we'll to the county elections, and we
will be able to elect Senator to Congress
with ease--all that is wanting is union

we believe, is the most solvent one in the

for it has more silver in its vaults than i,

we see it at a considerable discount
when the Union Bank post notes arr
passing at par.
Why is it, we cannot say, yet it is so
We have no faith in the union bank
because she is not managed like it shoule
be,but the Lexington bank has never issuet
more than it could redeem at any time, W,
therefore cansider il the best and mos

THE YANKEE GIRL.

She laughs and runs cherub thing.
And proud is the doaling sire,
To see her pluck the buds of spring,
Or play by the winter fire.
Her golden hair falls thick and fair.
In many & 'avy curl;
And freshly sleek is the luddy check
'ss OF the infant Yankee girl.
The years steal on, and day by day,
Her native charms expand,
Till hesrouud face beams in the summer
sray
Like fbe rose of her own blest land.
There's music in her laughing tone,
A darker shade on the curl,
And beauty makes her chosen throno
On the brow, Of the Yankee girl.
She is standing now happy bride,
AT the holy altar rail,
While the sacredsblush of maiden pride
Gives tiugeztoahe snowy veil.
Her eye of Lights the diamond bright,
Her innocence;ihe pearl;
And these aMesg the bridal gems.
OF a happy Yankee girl.

The Trustees feel no hesitation in saying
that these gentlemen are as competent to the

partmens, as any to be found in the upper
country, nd that they will spare 10 pains to con-

AS the impression abroad, respecting the
health of Abbevs District, is nn!av"rubl,., we
deem it necessary to say. that Lowndesville
and its vicinity. are as healthy as any section OF
the upper country The Village is situated on
a high and dry ridge, remote from any standing
wafer, "a well az all CAUSES Of disease; il must
therefore continue TO be healthy.
In point of morality. We believe it is gener-
ally conceded, that there is no section Of coun-
try more exempt, from all inducrlnrni to viciuns

ton, thai we stand unrivallcd in this particular.
