Donors in the Protestant cemetery at Belle

Rear Admiral Reed Worden has been or
dered to the command of the South Pacific
station in place OF Rear Admiral Collins.
Until his arrival the command will devolve
upon Captain E. Simpson, of the Omaha,
the senior captain of tho feet. The death
OF Admiral Collins promotes Commodore
Stephen D. Trenchsrd, but does not affect
any officer below that grade, as there has
been an excess of one in the list of commo-
dores for some months past, on account of
the reinstatement OF Commodore Beau
mont by act of Congress, passed at the last
session. The law allows but twenty five
officers of the grade of commodore, and the
promotion of Commodore Trenchard leaves
that number on the list. n
Appeals from tho Court Of Claims.
The government has appealed to the Su.

OF Claims, which awarded e4SO 900 in gold

has also appealed from decisions Of the

One desidera tum We must mention. We
find NO church building in McCom City
But this, We suppose, will be supplied in
time, as the grounds are selected and ap.
propriated to the purpose. We understand
that, for the present, religious services OF
several denominations are held in other
buildings, Of which there are sever al suita.
BILE for that purpose.
We beg to suggest one thing, as matter
OF very important improvement to the oc.
cupants OF the pretty dwelling houses or
their prOprietors, which is, that the beauty
and pleasantness Of these homes are
greatly marred by the absence of trees and
shrubbery from their grounds. Green
foliage Of some kind around a country
dwelling is Indispensable to beauty and
comfort. Let somebody, either owners or
occupants, attend to this.
1t is evident that McComb City has every
advantage, SO far as financial backing is
concerned, for fine and fourishing inland
town With the beginning it has, it gives
great promise for the future. The estab
lishmens Of euch town, and in such .
manner, is to be considered marked
event. 1t is an improvement for the South.
1t would seem that the time has bow ar
rived tor extending the improvements of
tho town upon snother plan. Building lots
and squares should be offered to private
purchasers, and efforts used to attract resi-
dents outside Of the body of employees, and
to procure the eetting up of commercial
and manufacturing business by individuals
on their own account. This will probably
be done. We understand that some land
sales have lately been made, and the com
pany have cav mills in the vicinity for the
supply Of lumber. Liberal inducements
may Iced to large results. II proper exer-
tions are made, there seems to be no reason
why McComb City, with the start it has
made, and with che financial. support it
has. should not become marked business
centre for southern Mississippi and
highly important inland city.
Our impressions are founded, thus far,
from q mere Sunday excursion visit, when
was at rest. The young town
in business operation would, no doubt,
afford q still bettsr conception of what it
has accomplished and what it promises.

ku.klux of Southern Illinois.

The murder Of q man named Sisney, 1t
Carbondale. Illinois, and the disturbances
in Franklin and Randolph counties, as we'll
as in Williamson, have more certainly re-
vealed the existence Of an organized band
of outlaws III the southern part of Illinois,
which section of country has become sort
+ of refuge for the horse thieves and assas-
sins escaping Missouri and Tennessee ven
geance. Tho murder of Sisney, who was
shot in his own houss while conversine with
a man oamed Stanley, has been, by the te.
portere. exalted to the dignity Of ven.
delta, - tho result of an old quarrel of many
years standing. 1t was simply assassins-
ton, and . most mysterious one. The man
named Stanley Rad but that night arrived
in the town, and was talking to Sisney,
when the latter was shot by parties from
the outside. This IL Is the survivor of the
scene Of murder tells the story, but he was
found to have very poor memory, and
perhaps would not have been believed but
fof the circumstantiaf evidence that man
with gun was seen near the house at
about the time Of the murder. Suspicion
points to tho brothers Bullinefs, at Carter
vile, as the murderers. but perhaps owing
to the old quarrel in which they and Sisney
and the Tennessee Hendepsons were mixed
up in years ago.
At about the time this was going on in
Williamson county, the sheriff of Franklin
county has desperate fight with fourteen
masked men. 1t appears that the county
commissioner had been previously warned
that he would be whipped on certain
night for disobeying orders previously sent
to him. The commissioner informed the
sheriff Of the threats, and the sheriff pre-
pared himself secretly with q posse of men
to meet the outlaws. About fourteen armed
and mounted men appeared soon after mid
night, wearing masks. The band was halt.
ed by the sheriff, who was fred upon by the
leader. The sheriffs men then gave the
Ku-Klux . volley, wounding several, and
one mortally. All but the mortally wound
ed man succeeded in making their escape.
The dying man gave his name as Job Look
wood, and he also gave the names of about
thirty men belonging to his band.
These outrages have 90 wrought upon
the people of Illinois that the Governor
will organize sufficient military force to
protect honest people in the counties
where these assassins and robbers congre-
gate, and it is peobsble that some action
will be taken under the Ku-Klux acts to
bring the midnight raiders to justice.
These outlaws, under the cover of night |
and masks, commit at will most foul and
cowardly crimee, and invariably escape the |
of law, owing to the reign of |
terror held over the people, and the diff
Guilty of proving charges from personal
1t is to be hoped Governor
will be able to make of some of |
his unruly constituents speedy and swing
ing examples.

McEnery,s Comufssfous.

Tho Baton Rouge Adrocate, considered to
be the sblest Democratic daily in the State,
comes squarely forward in support of Oar
rall, or Breaux, or McEnery, as the case
may be, and according to the taste of the
reader. 1t says:
In the Breaux McEnery controversy it is
c0ntended that Governor McEnery had no
night to issue q certificate of election to
Darrall. Under the circumstances it might
have been better if McEnery had not issued

through the town fire wells of from fifty to
sixty thousand gallons capacity.
The wonder of ali these fine improve
ments is that they have arisen in day, or,
literally, in about two years. They are the
product of the enterprise and the large
ideas of the gentlemen composing the rail
road company and the Mississippi Valley
Company. In both of these companies
stock is largely owned by the same indi'
vidusls. MIR. McComb ii the president of
the railroad company sand is owner of most
of its stock. General West, of Holly
Springs, Missisaippi, il second vice presi-
dent of the railroad and president Of the
Mississippi Valley Company. This latter
company appears to have been formed for
general works OF improvement in commerce
and manufactures. This company were
and are tho owners of the land on which
McComb City stands. We are informed
that their influence and the .donatiop by
them of large area of land to the railroad
company were the Inducements which led
to the establishment of the railroad work
shops and depots here, and the building of
dwellings, for tho employees. This formed
tho beginning of tho town. The beauty

Bear in mind, also, that men are i'm

actor in making an impression, While
the preacher Is allowed none Of this.

My own impression is that you may put
