festedb by Col Gmer, is worthy of all praise The bar
becue prepared by him set out in most excellent
and munlfcent manner there was enough for an hun

1t seemed to us that the Colonel had endeayored to
anticipate and supply the of the multitude for
SO far as we could earn there nothing lacking to
render all comfortable. Being eyewitness and a
participant speak by the card and it affords us de-
cded pleasure to join our thanks to COL Gmer with
many others that we have heard mention the subject.

0FIt is quite common to hear the subs say that they
will carry this State by thousands and this and that

ofa note published last week from G. H. Foote,
submission candidate for the convention from Noxubee
county Why the gentleman speaks quite confident
iy of carrying his county-an idea absurd
entered the head of any man. and the only reason
sgnable, is that the gentleman himself candidate
and that he is irresistible the stump He boasts of
eight conversions from the party asserting the rights
of the South to the party defending the aggressions of
the North on those rights during his recent discussion
with Col McRea. This boast would be rich were it
not that is announced in form render the writer
ofthe letter startling hero, which fact, should it
get abroad, would throw our friend Dabney in the
shade forever politically
