for the act. He kicked the goat down
and literally stamped its body to pieces.
Hsndsboro Democrat: We are glad
to learn that our old friend, General

drtd ewes.
Troops are needed at Okolona to pre-.

Ct rain has fallen the past week in this

A correspondent says of the recent
Raymond jubilee and the colored club:
+" In fact, our colOred reformers, dressed
up in uniform, make more show and ex-
hibit more enthusiasm than the whites.
This company numbers nearly two hum
bred, and have entered the canvass with
q determination to enlist every cOlored
man ia the neighborhood. Aud here l
would state that it is no trouble to get
the colcred people to enlist ia our ranks
now. We have convinced them by the
good government given them for the
past Elk months that we are their best
friends"
Vicksburg Herald: In this city and
county the Radicals are doing nothing,
in political point Of view. The lead,
ers, what few inefficient oDes there are,
do not seem to care one cent whether
Lynch is elected or not, and since Grant
Is not q candidate for President they
haven't the least enthusiasm in regard
to the Presidential election. The ne
eroes land they constitute the main
body OF Radicals here look upon Grant |
as they do upon God, and since he was
not renominated, they care little or
nothing about the result.
Vickt burg Herald: From present indi-
cations, our candidate for congress, Gen. |
eral Chalmers, will be elected by a
handsome majority. The negroes are

rs q whole, he will get handsome ma.
ority. The campaign in this county is
not yet opened. The weather has been
TOO hot for meetings in Vieksburg in
nails lighted by gas, and the county
follows the lead Of Vicksburg.
But we have no fesJs In regard to this
county il our committee and our leaders
'nly do their duty, and we have no rea-
on to doubt thiss ]
