A HOME -THRUsT.-In his little "speak"
at franklin yesterday, Joe. Williams made
a telling point against the Radicals, in cen
necrion with the late riot. Addressing
brethren of his own color, he said in SUBJ
stance "Last Saturday, right here in
Franklin, these mean white men got you in
to a muss. When they got you and the
white folks fighting, whore were they ?
Didn't they sneak off and let you fight it
out without any leaders? Didn't they
abandon you, when they got you into trou-
bic F.? Yes and that is just what they
will do again. When they get your votes

Mississippi papers say that a terrible dis
ease similar to the cholera has broken out
among the freedmen on the plantations
along the Yazoo river. This disease has
every appearance Of cholera, though it has
confined itself to the freedmen. On one
plantation eleven died in few days, oB an
other four. and on a third place FIVE died
during one week, and numbers are sick
The disease, it is thought, was brought on
By the negroes eating such quantities of
catfish, half cooked aud seasoned.

Look TO YoUR ORoHARD.-Cleau away
all clOds, grass, weeds, or any harboring
material for vermin from the trunks of the
trees. A slight mound Of fresh, compact
earth around the collar Of the tree should
be made for the winter. Otherwise you
may End that the mice have gnawed the
bark. The young orchard should be in
such condition as to offer DO inducement
as harbOriug place for mice or vermin in
the winter.
