SOMETHING NEW.

What world we 10 live il and what a
demand there i for something acr. Each
hour brings its wants, and The appetite grows
upon what il feeds. Something Ncw, is an
incessaat demand of nature. The constant
disappearing of old things, as the wood in
the flame, creates an inceSsant demand which
must be SUPP lied. Fortunate for H.. the
means of supply are at hand ard, as the de-
mands increase, so does the supply.
The progressive nineteenth century is a per
feet curiosity Of new things. For the five
thousand years preceding this century, we
have but little respect now-the last is the
hest for us, and grand improvement over the
old and dark ages Of history. And still the
cry for something ncc in poetry, business.
literature. art, music and song continues Our
business does not escape sympathy. With
the progress around us we must be NJ and
stirring. The inventions of Albright and
Howe (,he Spinning Jenny and Sewing Ma
chine) make the possibility of our business
immense We accept the SITUATION with
pleasure, and have prepared ourselves TO
meet the demand. Our ambition is bouudless;
and. while we DO not expect to clothe you
suitably for the future and better world, we
can do it suitably for this one, no matter what
your condition in life may be; whether you
are phian,hropist, a philosopher, or the
support Of bOth-a tllcr Of the soil. If you
are a politician, we can sell you a good, honest
Coat: such a one as will be a credit TO your
self. (whom you serve0 and an honor to your
country, (wLom you Lave the honor to (mIs)
represent)
You must all wear Clothing, and we are
generous enough TO wish that you all may
wear goodfi,ting and well made goods,
whether you buy them Of It's or of on. neigh
bors. We are endeavoring to do our share Of
the business. We believe that we are entitled
to it and have only TO convince you Of the
fact to secure it. If you ask why we are
entitled To do large amount of business, we
answer: because our stock is large, care
fully selected and well made; because our
prices are as low as can be found elsewhere .
because we treat our customers hOnOrably :;
because our customers are pleased with and
can believe our assertions because we will
not be uldersold." Honest, Fair and
Square Dealing, is our rotto.
Come and see us, and be convinced of orr

THOS. ]. MAEGHAM, :. Publisher.
OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF RICHLAND.
RAYVILLE. :. LOUISIANA,
Monday, Novembe~ l, 1875.
Sherifsalty of Warren County.
Mississippi.

We consider the following remarks
Of the 7Vicksburg Herald, in regard
to The candidacy 70. Sheriff Of that
county, as good sense as well As
sound views. Let no personal pre-
terence come between you and the
success of the party. We, however,
cannot understand how it is that
Flanagan stands in the way of the
success of tue party, he being the
nominee Of the party. 1t is true he
was accepted by the Republicans as
their candidate after he was nominated
ny the Democrats, but that is no rea-
son why the Democrats should no,
support him as their nominee. Bed
ford, the independent candidate. is the
one to "step down and out" The
following was the language of the
Herald on Sunday. since which time
it has shifted sails and is running
with Flanagan colors at its topmost
peak. Something whispers to us that
the Herald Company was no, pleased
with this article, and that somebody
has stepped down and OUT of the
Herald sanctum
We have the pleasure of announc-
ing to our citizens the presence in
this city, of Gen. James H. George,
the noble and efficient Chairman Of
The Executive Committee of the Demo
cratic party of Mississippi. Gen.
George, is at the Washington Hotel
and we violate no confidence in say
ing that he comes here in the hope
that he may be able 10 harmonize all
differences among the Democrats of
Warren county. 1t is no secret thar
the control of the next Legislature
depends upon Warren county. If we
send Democratic Senator, and five
Democratic Representatives to the
next Legislature, that body will I'M
questionably be Democratic. General
George comes here to see if the Office
OF Sheriff is OF more importance to
onr people than everything else If
Capt. Flanagan and Mr.. Bedford
regard their personal aspirations as
superior to the public veal, they will
continue to be candidates. The peo-
pie do not care a baubee for either,
and if they should both find them
selves discarded by the people, they
will have no special cause for wonder
1t will be happy day for Warren
county when the Sheriilalty is elimi-
mated from the contest, aud when the
candidates now before the people con-
clude to step down and out. Then
will be seen the rainbow of promise,
the sign of victory for the people.
When Flanagan and Bedford conclude
TO retire, the people will elect five
members and Senator to the Lcgis-
latnre, with a full corps 0! honest aud
capable county officers.
If Flanagan and Bedford are not
agreeable 10 the people, they will soon
get rid of them.

Murder of the Deputy Sheriff of
YazOO, Mississippi.

The Nicksburg Herald of Oct. 9th
has the following special telegram
from iazoo City, dated the Goth:
This city was thrown into a state
OF great excite ment this morning
caused by the murder of Mr.. Charles
+. Fawn, at the Courthouse. On
the news spreading through the city
the peopld flocked to the scene of the
tragedy. The killing was done by
Mr.. Frank Russell, highly respeeta-
BILE young man of this city, and son
Of Mr.. j. Il. Russell, who has been
in possession of the Sheriff's. Office
since Morgan's departure. The par.
,ic,jurs, as far as can be learned, are
these: Mr.. Charles Fawn, WHO is a
Republican, and one generally liked
by everybody, at the solicitation of a
number of the leading citizens made
arrangements with Morgan to take
the Sheriff's Office and run it during
Morgan's unexpired term. He gave
a good bond, having the names Of the
best men of this county upon it. 1t
seems that Mr.. Russell looked upon
this turn Of affairs as an Infringement
upon his fathers claims to the office,
who was at the time filling the posi-
ton. At any rate, Mr.. Frank Russell
went to the Courthouse this morning
and called Mr.. Fawn out OF the
SherifTs Office ,; they walked a short
distance from tho office door, Fawn
having Russell's arm, when Russell
drew his pistol and shot him, the ball
striking him in the forehead, passing
out at the back of his head, scattering
blood and brains over the floor, killing
him almost instantly. The people
look upon it as a most foul murder,
and in mass meeting denounced it
in the bitterest terms. 1t was not
political affair, as a number of leading
Republicans and also the brother Of
the murdered man testified in o dis
patch to Gov. Ames. The people
greatly deplore it and some very
bitter feeling is felt and expressed
against Russell. The Mayor has
ordered out a special police force to
guard the Jail against any attack of a
violent nature upon the prisoner. No
one knows what the morrow will
bring forth; the worst is feared.
