Second edition of q Short
Catechism not usually
taught in Sabbath
Schools.

Question-How is it that you
and family dress well and at 30
little expense1
ACKNOWLEDGING I buy my
goods at the green brick front, the
cheapest house in the State.
Ques--IIow do you make that
appear, when all merchants say
they sell the cheapest?
AnsTer--For the reason that
they sell for cash or barter, which
enables them to buy for cash at
the best jobbing houses in New
York and Boston.
Ques--Have you any other
reason for speaking SO favorably OF
them? &&
Answer--Yes, they buy many
of their goods by the case; by
watching their chances they are
enabled often to buy at a sacrifice.
Boots and Shoes they buy invaria-
bly, from the manufacturers great
many of them made expressly to
order, and warranted whole stock
and double soles.
Ques--Are they strictly honest
and upright in all their dealings
Ans--They are all this, and in
addition thereto subscribe for their
county paper and pay the printer
so have no fear of hereafter before
their eyes.
Ques-Ah; all these?--ther
for the future l will buy my goods
from MURRAY & MORGAN.

The New County Of
Moore.

The bill to authorize the forma-
ton of the county of Moore out
of fractions of Lincoln, Franklin,
Bedford and Coffee, has passed in
the Senate, end is on its third
reading in the House.
1t is very doubtful whether it
will pass the House, asst is contend
ed by Mr.. Frierson, of Bedford,
and Mr.. Magill, Of Coffee, that
their counties cannot be reduced
below their present limits. The
constitution declares that in the
formation of new counties no old
county shall be reduced below five
hundred square miles. Five hun
dred square miles contain three
hundred and twenty thousand
acres. According to the Comp
tro!ler's report to the present Leg
islature, Bedford county has in
it 292, 297 acres OF land, and Cot.
fee only 258,49S acres, and hence
say Messrs. Frierson and Magill,
members Of the Legislature from
Bedford and Coffee, you may give
Bedford 10000 acres more, and
Coffee $4,000, and we have
no territory to give up for the
formation of a new county,
Lincoln county is assessed for
390,333 acres Of land, and con.
tains, therefore, within attraction
of 6l0 square miles. Franklin
county has 233, 800 acres accord
ing to the Comptroller's report
and does not, therefore, contain
more than 400 square miles. 1t il
said by the opponents of the bi!
that these things furnish the bes
evidence that the county canno
be formed. Bills have been pass
ed by the present Legislature tt
authorize the formation of tn,
counties Of NeShoba, Bell ant
Crockett. Our representative, Mr.
Tillman, opposed them all becaus'
he did not believe there was an,
evidence before the Legislator
which justified their formation
We do not know what he will d.
in reference to the county OF
Moore, but we have no doubt b
! will vote for the bill, if he cal
: do it, and do what he feels to b
: his duty as a legislator.

Sound Patriotism.

Messrs, Ewing, Cooper and
Reese, the State Railroad attor-
neys, are all Democrats; yet when
they attempted, uniawfully and
wrongfully, TO fleece the State, by
pocketing monstrous fees, the
Democratic press, with one or two
exceptions, denounced and stop
ped the grabbing. The honest
leaders in New York City and
State sacrificed the success of the
party in order to defeat the Tam
many thieves. They did right in
dividing the party rather than to
let the thieves use it as a stepping
stone to Office, and although this
involved the loss OF the State, the
virtue of the party is preserved.
The New York Democrats have
given, in unmistakable language,
their opinion of corruption
They cheerfully sacrificed present
success rather than let corruption
control the party, and thus have
made a clear record for themselves
and set glorious example, which
can be proftably followed by the
Republican organization wherever
it dominates. More than this,
they have undertaken to punish
the thieves for past offences. The
Democrats are taking the lead in
the effort TO mete out justice tc
the corrupt officials.
But what are the Republicans
doing to overthrow corruption in
their party? Nothing perceiva
bic, except to hide it from the
public gaze and protect the perpe
traitors. Where are the men thai
composed the "cotton ring" which
swindled the Government out of
thirty millions Of dollars2 No
oae of them in the penitentiary
but some are honored by the Re
publicans with Office and trust
ed with the public's funds
The State officials in South Caro-
lina-the meanest thieves tina
ever disgraced Gods footstool-is
sue twenty millions Of fraudulent
State bonds and sell them in Eu
rope, and the Administration pro
lengs the official career of thes'
thieves by proclaiming MARTA
law in South Carolina. Governo
Bullock runs away from Georgi
after stealing two millions of dol
lars, and the Washington Gov
eminent protects him from arrest
This is the way Radicals puuisl
corruption.

Tho Freedmen's Bureau

Gen. Howard, the chief, in
his report to the Secretary Of
War, recommends the closing
finally all that remains of the
Bureau. It is time. That in
stitution has been chiefly run
by Radical politicians, in open
violation Of the constitution, to
find profitable places at the pub
lie expense for broken-down
Massachusetts, clergymen, and
to enable Observation-Disclosures
from New England to work
Southern plantations with ne
grocs fed, clothed and paid by
government. None but minds
warped by a blind political
partizanship could behold in it
anything but a gigantic en-
CINE of fraud, oppression and
corruption. Itprofessedto dis
burse twelve millions of dollars
a year in aid of the southern
freedmen, when it only distribu-
ted thatsum amongst an army of
rapacious politicians, who treat
ed the poor negro with far more
inhumanity than did his late
master.

GOOD HEALTH

Is 4 boon that comparatively few can boast
Of Those who have enjoyed uninterrupted
health for a series OF years Imagine themselves
to be proof against disease, and are careless
with their diet and their dress. Indeed, too
many Of them are sowing the seeds of consump-
ton. At first the slight but constant cough
attracts no attention, but II Is only when the
disease increases in violence that II begins to
excite suspicion. The malady should at once
be checked, and for this purpose no remedies

Is the only way to cure consumption.
To these medicines DR.. Swaync Of Phila-
delphia, owes his unrivaed success In the
treatment Of pulmonary consumption. The
Wild Cherry Syrup" ripcns the morbid mat
ter in the lungs, nature throws 1t off by an
easy expectoration, for when the phlegm or
matter is ripe slight cough will throw it of,
and the patient has rest and the lungs begin 10

to cleanse the stomach and liver, so that the
wild Cherry Syrup" and the food will make
good blood. "Swayne's Tar Pills" act upon
the liver, removing all distractions, relax the
ducts OF the gail-bladder, the bile starts freely

show what the Pills can do; nothing has ever
been invented except calomel Ia deadly poison
