Crops and Politics in Holmes.
EXTRACT OF A LETTER.

PICKENs, August. 1873.
Corn as general thing is poor but corn
that has been worked right, and at the right
time, is as good az last year, And the same
may be said of cotton. [ have as good a
crop of cotton on my place this year az ever;
very heavily loaded with bolls and still
making. Cotton that has been well worked
in Holmes, and the upper part of Yazoo, is
good. We have no worms, or sign of them.
We feel hopeful, ifyou'll give US old Ben
Humphreys for Governor. T.
The following facts are cited among
other things, to show why the Democratic
party has incapacitated itself for accom-
plishing the Reforms which are demand
ed in the administration of the Govern
ment:
Every Democratic Congressman from
Ohio has drawn and kept his back pay
Every Democratic Congressman from
Missouri has drawn and kept his back paw
Every Democratic Congressman from
Pennsylvania has drawn and kept his back
Every Democratic Congressman from
Kentucky has drawn and kept his back paw
Every Democratic Congressman from
New hampshire has drawn and kept his
back pay.
The only Democratic Congressman from
Michigan has drawn and kept his back pay.
-~~~
The Virginia resolutions referred to in
our last number were crowded out. They
are elsewhere published. The points of
criticism were, that they tacitly approved
the Back Salary Grab; that they con-
tanned quasi endorsement of Grant;
that they went to the EXTREMIST verge of
Capitalization in the advocacy of local
improvements by the Federal govern
ment. We maintain that party which
is thus debauched and places itself so
completely out of the track marked out
by Jefferson and Jackson and Polk has
no claim to be considered the lineal de.
scendant of the grand old party whose
principles were illustrated by their ad-
If it be the descendant
of that party, it is so degenerate and de-
formed that its illustrious progenitors
would neither know nor acknowledge it.

New anecdotes of President Lincoln are

authentic and characteristic. whether We

a moment of passion and intoxication,

Barney was one of the hard characters of
the command, and it was matter Of no
surprise when the court-martial sentenced
him for this last and gravest of his many
otfenses to be shot, and fixed the day Of
his execution. Meanwhile, to the surprise
of every one, including the surgeons.
the wounded man began to rscos.
er, and was soon pronounced out of
danger Public opinion took the usual
turn. 1t was thought pity, after all, to
shoot fine young fellow such as Barney
was In his better moments; besides, he
was one Of the boys; had been born. like
them, in Chicago; grown up with them.
A movement looking to a petition for the
culprit's pardon was set on foot, in which
none joined more heartily than the wound.

No reprieve had arrived, and reluctantly

Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fally up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY or FArtp
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
1t removes all eruptions and dandrutt,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it s,imu-
lates and nourishes the hair-gands.
BY its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, ii restores the
capillary glands to their normal rigor,
and will create a new growth, except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DREssING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap-
pearance. A. A. Hayes, MID, State
Assayer of Massachusetts, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and |
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"
Sold by all Druggists, and Dealers in Medicines.

ReS0trCd, That cheap transportation Is vital
