BARNES HOTEL, Mississippi City
is undeniably one of the best kept
hotels to be found in the South.
Certainly Hurd & Son understand
their vocation. The entire estab-
lishment, from garnet to cellar, has
been thoroughly cleaned, painted
and refurnished with the very best
articles the New Orleans market af-
fOrdS. The rooms are airy and
pleasantly situated. TIE table sup
piled with everything that good
taste can suggest. The servants
are polite and attentive.
1t is altogether a mistake about
there being no wharf at Mississippi
City. They have new one. and
there is provided every facility for
bathing and fishing.
Persons desiring pleasant board
ing place for the hot summer months
could not find more inviting house,
this side of Long Branch, than
Barnes Hotel.

Hot Weather and Oils.

The thermometer says the tenn
perature now varies from 80 to 1000
in the shade. Probably few per
sons are aware that it is at that
temperature that ordinary coal Oil
reaches what is called it's " fash
ing" or dangerous point. Persons
can have their fears allayed, by
burning the Headlight Oil, which is
as about safe as lard or sperm Oil.
1t burns with the ordinary coal oil
burner, burns one third longer than
coal oil, and costs seventyfve cts
per which makes it safer
and cheaper than coal oil. 1t can
be found at n. g. Orrick's, No. /.

At his residence near Battle Springs, on the
2Sth June, 1872, VIM. a. SIMNASs, in the 60ih
year of his age.
For forty years he was an exemplary mem
Der of the Baptist Church, and died in the tri-
umphs of its faith. His health had been del
icate for sometime before he had been con-
fined to his bed. During all his sufferings he
was patient and accomplishing His mind
was stayed on Christ the rock, and he felt
calm and assured that his Savior would be
near to comfort him in dying hour. His
hopes were realized. He resigned his dearly
loved ones to the God of the Fatherless and
the widow, aad committed his soul to the Sa-
rior of sinners. He was honest, God-fear-
ing, and God-loving. Christ was his only
hope, in Him he has found rest at last, deep
| full, eternal.
Farewell, brother! soon wen meet thee
| Where no cloud of sorrow rolls;
For glad tidings float how sweetly,
From the glorious land of souls.
Farewell, brother yet well meet thee,
When the day of life is fed,
Then in heaven with joy well greetthce
" here no farewell tears are shed.

SATAN REQUIRING SIN.

The great cry of the Democratic Office
seekers is the complaint of dishonesty
in the present Republican administration
and the promise of an entire reformation
under Democratic rule. To form an idea
Of what we might expect under their rule
let us see what they have done when they
were in power. American Democracy
commenced with the election of their
President Gen. Jackson. lie was the
first that. proposed and carried out the
pernicious principle that ''to the
victors belong the spoils." He re-
moved every Office holder that was not
for him and what was the resuIt2 Out
of the revenue which amounted then to
only about thirty millions, one million
was stolen by one man in the New York
Custom House, being nearly as much as
has benn stolen under the present ad-
ministration in collecting and disbursing
seventy times that amount. Under Van
Buren's administration Of the ninety
eight receivers of public money, nienty-
six became defaulters, and what is still
worse, these thieves never were punish
ed. But let US look at more recent oc-
currences.
Look at the short reign of Andy. John
son who are the thieves that are still
found among the Office holders under the
present Administration? They are most
ly men who were appointed by that Presi-
dent. Why is it that sixty seven million
dollars MORE were collected during the
first fifteen months of the present Ad-
miniStration, than during the proceeding
fifteen month under the same la.cs under
Johnson's Administration ? because just
sixty-seyen millions were stolen and the
Government has lost them.
Look at New York tha. has been in
the hands Of the Democracy for years and
what an awful picture Of gigantic fraud
and loathsome corruption does it present.
The leaders of the New York Democra-
cy stole the entire control and revenue OF
the Erie Railroad, they stole the result
Of the State election in 1868 from Grant,
they stole millions upon millions from the
City, corrupted Judges, jurics, lawyers.
Mayor and Aldermen, in fact, every man
and everything that came within their
reach. They are all members and lead
ers Of that party, that now claims to be
the advocate of honesty and civil reform
and that dares to ask the aid aud support
OF the American people, to restore its
chiefs to power and affluence, and then
again to destroy the financial and ciyi
success Of the present Government which
has won the wonder and admiration oI
the whole civilised world. If such De
mocracy ever obtains the supremacy. the
ruin of our Republic is doomed forever
