obtained, provided that none of the said bonds
shall be offered for sale until the subscription
by the citizens to the amount of S25,000 shall
have been paid in, 1t being the object and in

there shall have been taken at their par value
$25,0 600 by bona fde citizens Of the county.

W. learn that the next Fair Of
the Sardis A & W. Society will be-
gin on the llth day Of October, aud
c%on.inue five days. We are ex
pecting this to eclipse all the fairs
heretofore held by this Society, and
if our people, and especially our
fair countrywomen would only take
the interest they should in preparing
articles for exhibition, we shall not
be disappointed in our expectations.
We hope our readers will remember
that this is a district society, and
that the citizens OF DeSoto, Mar
shall, Lafayette and Tallahatchie
counties are equally interested with
the people Of this county.
w regret very much the tardi.
ness of those having the matter in
charge, in getting out our premium
lists. They should have been in
general circulation by this time, but
they are yet in the hands of the
printer, or in some other place where
the eyes of the curious cannot get
sight of them. We learn however
that the premiums offered are
equally as liberal as they were last
year, aud we believe exhibitors were
very generally satisfied with those.
Remember, no entry fee will be
charged for any article sent for eX,

cancellation. and feel once again
that national pride which m times
long past controlled the actions Of
our statesmen, aud which has
already .Iumbercd TO long IN our
bOsOms.
II is not Inconsistent that we
should be proud Of the American
Union, aud feel a just pride in its
government aud status; pride OF
country Is the legacy ~be1noathed to
~ in common with our No thern
brethren by the martyrs aud heroes
Of the Revolution, whose memories
are cnshrined alike IN the Southern
and Northern heart,
Its not unnatural therefore that
we should clasp hands with the hon
est citizens Of the North, aud united
by such lasting ties, do battle to-
gcthcr for the general good Of a
common union.
In order to form this union with
our friends OF the North, and effect
30 great n good to our country, it
becomes necessary Tor US to make
perhaps some few concessions. In
dischargiug this duty its otherwise
sdious features are rendered pleas
ant by the reflection that our North
ern friends arc really concediug
more than ourselves in extending,
as they do to US, the hand of peace
and friendship. Ia the North the
supporters OF Greeley are branded
by the Grant men ~ traitors, and
charged with ~cspousing the cause
of rebels and kuklux in the South
the HARD SHELL Democracy brand
the Greeley men as traitors to the
South and the Democratic party,
and charge them with aiding the
foes OF our people.
Thus it may be cen that conccs
sions are equal, If indeed any'of a
material nature + made by either
side, and that our people have really
no sensible reason for refusing a
hearty support to the liberal move
meat.
Should this movement be success
ful, a revolution as great in its re-
suits as the late war will dawn upon
the American people--a revolution
particularly full Of promise to the
South.
In view of such n result, we can
look forward to a period when our
best meu will represent us in the
councils of the nation, and when
bayoncts aud kuklux will no longer
agitate strife and hatred between
the sections.
In conclusion, we express our full
confidence that Southern voters will
turn out in November IN iull force,
and BY their united voice proclaim
to our Northern friends aud to the
world, that the American war is
ended-that the "bloody chasm' i.
filled with soil, cemented by a ma
tons tears, and last but not least,
that Horace Greeley is President of
these United States. So mote it be
