The funeral of Jno. n. Majors, which
took place from his late residence, four
miles from Fayette, was, perhaps, more
largely attended than that of any other
citizen OF this county for many years.
The procession was fully half a mile in
length The Masons and Phoenix Gran; re
turned out in regalia. Mr.. Majors was
a prominent citizen of this county, much
liked and respected. He was a large
planter, was a worthy member of the
Masonic fraternity, one of the charter
members of the first Grange organized
in this county, and one of the directors
of the Fair Association He was in the
prime of life. and his untimely taking off
will leave void that will be felt by the
community and nard to fll.-Fayeite

Toward the close of the late war, when
the collapse of the Confederacy was as
sured, it will be remembered by many
that some of the more bloodthirsty lead
ers of the South proposed to fall back
from the front and organize "A guerilla
warfare. The proposition, it seems, has
not been forgotten, the only question be-
ing how far Democratic successes at the
North will warrant the carrying out of
that warfare. Washington Chronicle
Wait and see The Southern people
intend to disappoint your hopes. They
have no idea of keeping the mind of the
nation agitated about the war and the
questions which it settled They are
more interested in maintaining peace,
and restoring good government than any
other section possibly can be. They will
vote for their best men, and use all legiti-
mate means to elect them, but they do
not intend to be betrayed into acts Of VIC
lence and Iawlessness. The outrage com
mittee, organized at Chattanooga is a
standing warning which they do not IN
tend to disregard. They know the OBJ
jects of its appointment and do not intend
to furnish material for its forthcoming
Book of Horrors.

State officers and Congressman were
elected in most of these States.
The returns show that the reaction
which started in the West, Is moving with
accelerated progress in the North and
East
Democrats have gained heavily in,
and 10 doubt carried, New York.
In Tennessee a gain of five Democratic
Congressman.
Pennsylvania, large Democratic gains
in popular vote with several Congress

Democratic in forty years., doubtful.

Congress, and that Banks, Liberal Re
publican), is elected over the regular

1t looks as if the Democrats and Con-

THE STATE FAIB
a Card from. the Presidens.


\ CARD.
Editor L-icksbuTg Herald
In the Vicksburger of this date, the
Doth, appeared an article as to the State
Fair which | denounce as full Of misrep-
resentation, and couched in such ma
licious expressions as no one could have
expected from journal claiming respect
ability, and from city too which has
been unable to keep upits own annual
Fairs.
Far from the State Fair being a slim
affair in every department, as represented
BY the veracious writer, it surpasses III
machinery and agricultural implements,
and in stock of ali kinds, all displays ever
made here but once since the war The
display Of field and garden products,
owing to the drouth, is not so large, and
in the ladies department the display i
also not so large As last year, but very
creditable, and no doubt would have
been much larger but for the financial
pressure and general dependency of the
country, The fling at jackson and the
display made by the jackson merchants,
IS IN keeping with the balance of the
article bat it is remarkable that Of the
plements displayed, this close observer
only discovered the Deering horse power
as worthy Of notice. By reference to the
columns Of the Vicksbnrger it will 5e
found that the Deering horse power IS
there advertised. | presume upon the
same terms the Stale Fair could have
had puff.
While the financial pressure this year
caused tne Agricultural Associations Of
Columbus, ! azoo City, Nalchez, jackson,
Tenn, and other Southern cities to pre-
termit their Fairs this year entirely, the
Mississippi State Fair Association, desir-
Gus of doing all in their power t0keep up
an interest in the institution, determined
to have Fair, regardless Of the times,
and they feel satisfied that diocrimina-
ting public and especially the large del
egatIon of citizens Of Nieksburg in at
tendance viii give them credit for their
efforts to contribute to the agricultural
interestand social enjoyment of the people
Of Mississippi, Notwithstanding the abuse
Of the Nicbsburger.
As to the racing, that is entirely under
the control Of the Jackson Jockey Club,
composed Of gentlemen of Kinds and
Warren counties. | understand that
the race complained Of was decided by
the strict rules Of the tur, aud as proof
that all parties concerned must be recon
ciled there were more horses on the track
to-day than yesterday, and 1ir- Lloyd's
horses again amongst the number.
We have had rs many people on the
ground to-day rs last year, with fine pros
pect: for Friday and Saturday. Hoping
that our efforts to please have met the
Of the public, | remain, very
respectfully, yours,
LAFAYETTE MONTGOMERY,
President.

will add that the attendance on Thurs.I
