How. f. M. YERoER.-In our notice Of the

did not mention the speech Of our talented and hon

from neglect for no one appreciates hisdistngush-

but so many strangers were here, and our space is

that he, we know, would much prefer we noticed
others instead Of himself He is alwaysa well
speaker here, and no one, great or small, is more
acceptable to the Yazoo public than he. He has
done good service in the best Of causes and de.

In closing the canvass, wecan but say, that Of all
the workers in the good cause in this county, none
deserves more credit than Doctor Holmes. Pressed
with professional duties, he has abored most assid
uously during the long and arduous canvass. He
never asked which side is weakest or strongest-he
only wanted to be satisfied of which side was right
and having early made up his mind thai the AMER
lCAN cause is the only one that can save the UNION
he threw his whole weight Of talents, and influence
and labor On the side &C patriotism, and has worked
With zeal worthy of it and himself.
