The hog is the staff Of life-thc arch

Moreover, in his earlier days, he il strik-

In adult pighood he Is omniverous and

he breeds faster, grows faster and keeps
cheaper than any other domestic animal.

Him.
From the Brookhaven citizen.

A correspondent of the Brandon Repub-
lican, writing from Meadville, Miss, shows
up the doings of Gun Thief Anderson. who
Is playing Circuit Judge out there. During
the session of the Circuit Court at Meadville
he ordered the ease of the State vs.. Lock
man, for bigamy, discontinued, stating that
Loekman was prosecuted on account OF his
loyal principles. We happen to know some
thing about this man Hickman. He has all
the necessary qualifications for loyal man,
such as horse-stealing, cotton burning. etc,
This all the people of that county know TO
be true, and old Anderson knew at the time
he ordered the case dismissed that Lockman
was not prosecuted on this account. as the
affidavit charging him with the crime was
made by Mrs. Butler, the mother of the wo-
man who Lockman married, who was also
strong Union woman throughout the war.
la this case Anderson has clearly violated
the oath he has taken. This however is not
strange since it is known he has robbed
honest negroes of their money by repre-
senting himself agent for the sale ofgovern-
ment guns. We advise the good people of
franklin county TO keeps sharp watch over
Their property while the old thief is in their
midst.

JOHN CHINAMAN--The World says
KoOpmanschap said in Omaha, last week,
that he had orders from the East for some
200, 900 Chinese. The fact is, John, in
spite of the floods of contumely and foul
SANDER poured upon him, is working his
way into public favor by the sheer fore
of diligence, sobriety, faithfulness and
inoffensive demeanor. The masses of
the people are getting impatient of wages
without corresponding service, and of
service which is tyranical mastery; so that
John will be gradually installed in spite
of all opposition. Simpsons shoe-mak-
ing experiment results in better shoes and
orders than he can fill. He has sent for
$50 more, and numerous other orders
have gone out. The World tells of a
great laundry on the Passaic now worked
by two car loads of Cinnamon, and the
disposition to employ Cinnamon in domes-
tic service is rapidly spreading.
Lippincott for October has good ar
ticle upon the Chinaman as a household
servant-illustrating his doeility, cleanli-
ness, neatness and systematic industry;
but holding out no strong hope of his
speedy conversion. Chung took very
practical view of matters: s'Melican,"
said he, in reply to very earnest exhorta-
tons, Mclean cook welley well. Nell

ion to favor-and that was hard lick

The committee reported the following
preamble and resolutions, which, after the
rejection Of substitute offered by Mr.. Leigh,
were adopted by the meeting:
whereas. The negro race of Mississippi
are organized as race into a political par
ty, and through this organization control
the civil and political powers Of the State;
aud, whereas, they have uniformly discFim-
mated in men and measures in favor of their
race and against the white citizens of the
state; and whereas, they did, in the canvass
OF the past year, insuitingly reject the Of
fers of friendship and common citizenship
made to them by the whites, and, as a race,
refused to vote for any man for any Office
who was unsupported by dangerous secret
organizations, and threatening utter bank
ruPtcy to the white people by enormous
and class legislation; therefore belt
Resolved, by the white people of Lowndes
county In county convention assem- led
That as long as the above recited state of
things exists, all political contests hereafter
in the State are restricted to a race struggle
for civil and political supremacy.
Resolved. That all white voters, irrespec-
tire of past positions of party affiliations,
are invited to unite in an effort to restore to
the white people of the State their suprema-
cy in the government.
Resolved, That we look upon those white
men who have taken Office from the hands
of Gov, Alcorn, with the exception of those
who made no pledges to support his admin
istration, as deserters from the ranks of the
white man for the sake of office.
Resolved, That we recommend the imme-
date formation of Democratic clubs in
every county in the State for the purpose of
Getting close and strong organization.
