Ry~ And now a terrible disease
has broken out in parts Of the
South among the hogs. 1t has but
little resemblance to hog cholera,
and is much more fatal, never fail
ing to kill in II few hours, and the
hogs actually become very offensive
even before death. Its first svmp-
tom is soreness in the nose, follow
ed IF quently by bleeding. Then
the tongue commences to swell,
protrudcs from the mouth and turns
black, and the hog dies frequently
in an hour or less time after being
attacked. No remedy has been dis
covered that affects IL in the least.
Boy DR.. W. D. Lyles, formerly Of
this city, has been made President
OF the Meridian Bank, Mississippi.
He is an original promoter of the
scheme Of a direct road from Mem,
phis and Grenada to Meridian
(Mrmphis Appeal.
Our friend DR.. LyIes was no
doubt an "original promoter in
the Grenada and Meridian scheme,
but he was not the original protector.
The editor OF the Herald, who pre-
pared the charter, presented it to
the Legislature, wrote enough to
make Il pamphlet in its behalf, and
subsequently visited the people
along the projected line between
Meridian and Louisville, presenting
the advantages of Such an IRON high
woy, claims Il little OF the paternity.
DR.. Lylrs was Senator from NoXu-
bee at the time, and took a deep
interest in the charter, but he waS
not Il G pdternuS Of the scheme by
any means. The road is important
to Meridian and Memphis and the
people living along its line, and in
proper hands, we believe it could
be easily built. DR.. LyIos, with his
acquaintance throughout the coun-
try the road is TO traverse, and his
Influence in Memphis, would be a
proper man to place at the head OF
the enterprise, and we hope the
Directory will take the subjent un-
der consideration at an early day

SUICIDE OF Hon. w. S. BAILEY
Hon. W. s Bailey, one Of Canton's
mos. hOnored citizens, committed
suicide at his residence there some
few days ago, by taking morphine.
His death is much %lamcntcd, for
than whom no man was ever more
universally respected in Madison
county. 1t would seem from Il note
written by him ~ short time previ-
ous to his taking the fatal poison,
that the deceased rs far back rs last
June contemplated self, destruction.
