do somcthing-go to work.
q" But, pa, l havn't anything to
DO"
"Well, son, if you can't do any
thing else, 1 will give you twenty
cents a gallon to gather acorns for the
pigs"
The Captain thought no more of it,
but missed Fonnie for two days. One
evening young hopeful came i'll lug
ging 4 big sack and threw it down.
The Captain, after feeling Of the bag,
asked:
Son, what have you here?"

After a moments silence, "Pa, Eve

Our citizens enjoyed a real feast
of reason" at the College last Friday
night in listening to the mastery eff
ftrt of Hon. E. \. James, Elector
for the State OH the Democratic tick
ct. Everybody who heard him is en-
thusia,iic in his praise, and if our
people had the electing of a L. S.
Senator Eb. James would certainly
get more votes than any man in the
field. 1t is unnecessary for us now
to speak in detail of his speech, as the
election is over; but it certainly was
an able, convincing argument. Hon.
w. P. Caldwell, our popular Congress
man, and Hon. w. W. Vaughn. ex-
Congressman, both followed with
short, pointed and patriotic speeches.
In the name of our people, We thank
these gentlemen for coming to sec Us.

MILAN, Tenn, Nov. 8, 1876.
Editor Exchange:
The election is now over and the
people will be casting about for can.
diIates for the L. 5. Senate. Among
the gentlemen brought prominently
to the front by the heated contest just
over, the name of Hon. Z. a. jane,
stands among the. ssmost prominent.
His able canvass of the State as Elec-
tor has produced a sensation. Per
haps no other man since the days Of
James &. Jones has made such bril-.
liant canvass as he has. The State
would have cause to be proud of him
as Il Senator, as she will have Of him
in any capacity or III any position be
may be called to fill. How would
james and Harris do for Senators
or Bate and james? But by all
means let us have James. CITIZEN.

louisiana Democratic by 1900 to

California Republican by 1900 or

strongly in favor of Tilden, as he has

WHAT HENRY MUSGROVE
SAID ABOUT
- Negro Rule" and n Road 10
Peace hnd Prosperity.

This is what Mr.. Rsdfeld writes to the
Commercial, dated August IL, 1876, as
follows:
When a man becomes a property-hold-
or in one Of the cotton states, he finds
no alternative but white rule or negro
rule. There is no halfway ground.
Under white rule, the State does best.
There is absolutely no question Of this.
There is less rioting, consequently less
lawlessness less taxation, less ineiticien-
cy in Office, aud the interests Of the
property-holderg better secured. There's
fore. Northern aud European emigrant-
10 the cotton States are almost invariably
found on the white side, sooner or later,
the exceptions mainly being those who
are politicians.
In this connection, / have in mind two
Northern men Of wealth and influence in
Mississippi, both Republicans, who delib-
erately voted with the whites at the late
Outrage election, that so much fuss is
made about, telling me at The time ,chy they
did 80, namely, that they found negro rule
destructive Of erery interest, and that the
oaiy road 10 permanent peace and prosper
IN iras through tchite supremacy. There
fore, they pote he straight Democratic
ticket. And If their testimony was taken
as to what 10 do with Mississippi, have
no doubt they would all say, ''for the
Lords sake, c theraloneI' The gentlemen
to whom / refer, and who, | imagine, will
not take issue with this, if they sea it, are
Henry Musgrove, banker, Of Jackson,
Formerly OF Illinois aud Mr.. Hunting
ton, of Washington county, planter,
formerly Of Connecticut.
