The joy of our citizens over the cleo
ton news last Wednesday night, was
manifested through the booming of can
non, beating of drums, and great deal
of excellent music by our cornes band.
Mingled with all this. often came the
sound of long and loud hurrahs that ech-
oed through the hills and valleys for
miles around Tupelo. Short speeches
were made by Messrs. Russell, Allen and
Goar, which were loudly applauded.-

The County Convention.

On the Sth day. of next month our
county convention will assemble. By
it will be nominated five members of
the legislature. We hope that the honest
people of both political parties will turn
out to the precinct meetings. Honest men
can there be certain to exercise powerful
influence, for the masses of all parties arc
desirous above all to have an economical
and good government. More than this, the
voters should let The delegates, when elected
know that they will not only watch them
with jealous eye, but that they reserve
the right of revision over thcir political
action; and if bad and untrustworthy men
are put forward, that they will refuse to
ratify such choice. Above all, if man
has made record, scrutinizc it. We hear
of schemes and combinations to return men
to positions who have already disgraced
them ones. Let no such men be trusted.

The Dc:sih of Mr.. T.. u. Me.
EkenxiC

IL is larc that the newspaper, in its daily
rep orts of the accidents anu incidents of
our community, has to chronicle n more
melancholy affair than The death ofthis
promising young man. The deceased wcs
the son OF our esteemed fellow citizen, John
Mckenzie, Esq, formerly mayor of our
city, and now one of our most prosperous
merchants Early yesterday morning the
community was shocked by the report thu
young Mckenzie was found lying in the
ncighborhood of an oil brick yard, near
the river, with pistol ball through his
brain, and his hand Son revolver, which
was lying across his body. This rumor
proved too sadly aatruc, as he had evidently
been dead some time, with the wound
through his temple. The body was first
discovered by m little coored boy, about 6
o'clock. 1t was lying on the side of bank,
about ten feet from the road, hun
yards from the old Confederate powder
factory, about mile from town. The boy
called to n colored man, named Ben Sight
Ter, who, upon approaching the body, was
barked at by the dog belonging to the
deceased The dog refused TO let him touch
the body. Even after the jury arrived, the
dog repclled every one until Mr.. Mckenzie
the father came. whom lie sprang to meet
with evident JOY, ibut soon returned 10 his
dead master The body was quite siif when
found, and had evidently been dead some
hours.
The jury brought in the verdict as
follows: THAT the dcccase came to his
death from pistol shot wound through the
right temple, evidently inflicted by his own
hand"
Much doubt is expressed as to tho correct
ness of the verdict of the jury, many bcliev-
ing that the young man was decoyed to the
spot and killed, or had been carried there
after death.
The deceased was twcnty-six years of
age lie had served in the Confederate @
army, and was wounded at Chance ellorsyille.
