Speeches were delivered by P. B. Cook and Rev
Mr.. LambuIh on the subject of temperance, anC
the objects and purposes of the Order. In on
judgment, Mr.. Cook acquitted himself with en-
viable credit. On the hackneyed subject, the
difficulty Of the speaker to command the atten-
tOn Of nm auditory throughout the performance.
has been felt and acknowledged by able and dis
tinguished orators. Having in the outset the
sympathy Of his hearers, Mr.. Cook soon enlisted
their interest and admiration and his well sus-
tanned effort was closed amidst general applause
OF Mr., Lambuth'S address we will only say that
it was Of piece with his usually able and inter-
0sting discourses.
After the close Of the ceremonies, the audi
suee retired to the supper room. The tables
were tastefully arranged, and literally covered
with all descriptions Of sabstantals and delica-
sies. Altogether, the Installation was a complete
success, and, we hope, may have the effect Of

Say, can ask for thee what thou hast not
Is not thine own truly favored lot
From the first dawn of infancy till now
Has augbt but happiness swept DER thy brow
And knowing this, how vain were wish of mint
To call down blessings which were ever thine
Then, while the past its own bright impress
bears
While the unclouded present owns for thee nj

For the dim future will ask of Heaven
AL that to mortal ever yet was given.
Its joys to bless--its hopes to cheer
It's peace to soothe--its light to guide thee here
And while offer up for thee this prayer,

A CARD--TO THE PUBLIC.

There has been malicious report circulated
in this neighborhood, and, | suppose, in the
vicinity of Satartia, that had made charge
against the estate of my late wife of five hundred
dollars ($5OO) for her burial expenses, and that
had said account recorded in the Probate office
at Yazoo City l have adopted this method of
proving my innocence of such charges, and
showing to the world at large that it is positiUe
lie. 1t was merely done to injure me in the
vicinity in which live, and have proven to my
neighbors and satisfied them that it is not so.
| wrote to Mr. Brumfeld for bis certificate,
which publish below wish to avoid using
any personal names, but all to whom this may
come, may know from what source the report
emanated. 1t has also been whispered about
that made out the account and wanted her father
to pay it, which. assure you, rs a lie, for have
never asked him nor any other man to pay it.
Nor did | ever think of such thing till heard it
talked about through the country.

CHARLESTON CONvENTIoN-FUN AHEAD --Ther,
have been hot times in the Charleston Conven
tion during the last few DAYS Eight of thu
Southern States delegation have seeded anC
formed new Convention--the Southern Conven.
ton. The following despatch left Charleston on
Wednesday evening;
On the fftv-third ballot, Virginia and Nortl
Carolina sach gave one vote for Douglas. which
gave him 1523-a majority Of the whole Conven
sion. On the next ballot North Carolina gave
her whole vote In Lane.-reducng Douglas vote
1904. Douglas has majority Of the whole.
A private despatch, still later, brings the follow
ing information
II is very doubtful whether Douglas will bt
ROminated even now, as the Virginia and Nortt
Carolina delegation forced the Convention tC
adopt the two.thirds rule. He has hare ma
jOritv ns vet. Nothing from the Southern Con
vention It is thought they are awaiting th'
result Of the old one
WHIST is finally tn be the result of these Con-
ventions, we are unable to say. It looks to us
about rs broad as long II the Southern Con.
vention make nomination it will only be for the
South to be defeated. Nothing worse than this
could have happened in the Charleston COnven-
tion. In fact, it is quitting in the third person
plural, the old trap: "IIcads win and tails
you lose /" All this suits us exactly, and we
hope the tin is not far distant when the matter
will be settled at the-cartridge box.
STILL LATHR.-By despatch received yester-
dHy from Charleston, we learn that both Conven-
tions adjourned on the evening previous,-the old
enc to meet at Baltimore, and the Southern at
Richmond. No nomination was made by either.
The old Convention adjourned in great excite
ment. Another State has seeded from the old
Convention, supposed to be Virginia.
