ferson county, handed us few days since,
a number of the ''Natchez Gazette,n Of
date November 10, 1890, which he found
sticking in a crack Of one Of the "log
cabins in his county. AT that time the
"Gazette,, was the leading democratic pa
per in the State, Gt was conducted by
Daniel Peck) and in it we find an address
dated Madison county, October 20, 1880,
to the legislature, by Major Charles B.

candidate for the United Stale Senate, TO

OF that able and worthy man Robert H.
