And the cool spring nard by with its murmuring

II We call the attention OF our readers TO
'e following complimentary notico OF
Rphn ID. Freeman, which is taken from
ate number of the Montgomery New
Kork) Phoenix.
John D. Freeman, Esq.-One of the
Necedlng numbers OF our paper contained
R announcement that the above person
ge, now resident of Natchez, Missis-
MPpI, bad received the nomination OF the
Yemocnhc Convention of that State, as
Ncandlda'e for Attorney General, which
h declined.
lhIs signal expression for the high re-
Ara entertained towards that gentleman
y'he citizens ofMississippi, must be highly
Ea'l'ylng to his numerous friends in this
cInliy. While pursuing his legal stu
rs IN Canaloharle few years since, his
Pn'Iemanly department, suavity Of man,
'ls untIrlng industry, and brilliant tall
p's, gained for him the admiration and
Rspect ofthe society 10 which he mingled,
y were then considered earnest of his
nGFe distinction. He left the city
schenectady several years since for the
pu'h' located in Mississippi, and during
residence in that State, has more than
uaIIed the most sanguine expectations
ais friends. After editing the Grand
uIi Advertiser with ability during the
es'denilal contest Of 1886 and for some
pc after no was triumphantly elected to
office OF District Attorney Of the first
dlcial district Of the State Of Mlssissippi
hlch station he held for three years, and
60 voluntary resigned, before his term
office expired; acquitting himself SC
llSiactorily to the people Of the counties
er which his district extended. as tc
ocure him nomination for the high
bee Of Attorney General. In addition
these evidences Of esteem, several of the
adlng journals Of that State which have
me within our observation, speak of him
the highest terms, and predict his future
ovation and further advancement. Sue.
H attend him.
