| had Il fine horse that was addicted to
himself by breaking up all the haltcrs and
brides that could be applied to his head.
An application of the neck strap beat him,
and, after using il a few days, tow string
would hold him ever after.
Another high-spirited horse acquired
the habit of rushing from his stall the in
slant his halter was removed, and it be-
came almost impossible to bride him.
The use of the neck strap while being
bridled very soon effected a perfect cure.
Another horse had habit of throwing
his head so high that two or three men
were required to bride him, which be-
came serious matter, but was speedily
cured by tying his head down with aneck-
strap, so that "a child could bride him
even in the pasture by simply throwing
the rein over his neck.
The neck-strap has still greater merit.
The halter is n fruitful source of poll
evil and other diseases of the head, and
to it | charge Il large proportion of such
cases. The horse is extremely sensitive
about the head, and an uncomfortable
halter often causes habits, blemishes and
disease that become serious defects and
materially depreciate the worth of an 9th
erwise valuable horse
As a result of experience l use the neck
strap for all hitching perposes (both cattle
and horses) and would not tolerate a halter

depends on the judcious choice of a remedy The
amount of testimony in favor of Dr. Schenck's Pull
monte Syrup, as a for consumption far ex-
ceeds all that can be brought to support the preten
sions of any other medicine. See Dr. Schenck's

sons of the highest responsibility, who have been
restored to health after being pronounced incurabe
by physicians Of acknowledged ability Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as these
evidences will shows but the is often promoted
by the employment of two other remedies which
Dr. Schenck provides for the purpose. These ad

certfes that most any case of Consumption may
be cured.

All for Hooker.

The papers of the Southern part of
the District have hoisted Col. Hooker's
name for Congress, and indicate q will
ingness to give him a warm support.
We are glad to see this. It shows that
the Democratic party will be successful
in November. Speaking Of the nomi-
nation of Col. Hooker the Handsboro
Democrat says:
1t is q matter of satisfaction to us to
know that the place we desired for an
other is to be filed by so able, so true,
SO brave n M man whose whole
life t~estities to his unspotted honesty,
ability and courage. In him the Dis
trict Democracy have % champion
worthy of their cause. and the Radicals
a foe to be feared. Let the wreckers
now trot Green Chandler, or any other
scallawag or carpet-hagger to. the front.
He will lie beaten.
We know it is the purpose of some to
create division in the Democratic RANKS.
and thereby remand the State TO the
control OF thieving Radicals, and We
call on the Democracy of South Missis-
sippi to rally around our standara~bear-
CT and send sora-heads and disruption
lists to the rear or to the enemy. We
cannot and will not divide. We must
and UiX succeed.

The following from the Meridian
Homestead will be Of interest to peo-
unacquainted with Nj. Chandler, the
Radical aspirant for Congress for this
District:
Hon. q. e. Hooker was unanimously
nominated for Congress In the Fifth
District. The Jackson Times says
that Greene G. Chandler viii be his
opponent. aud adds that he Is the peer
OF COL. Hooker i'll every respect, and
spesks OF HIM as a natural ana 3lftod
orator. This viii be news to the peo-
pie of this part Of the State. Chandler
was raised III this county and lived here
ana III Clarke until AlcorL appointed
him Judge. While he is q man or
some sprlghtliness, he had very little
reput alton as Il q lawyer, and was never
regarded rs more than an ordinary
country politician. Ii Green wants to
show now small he is, let him meet
Hooker on the stump.

From the APpcai we see that Hon.
Casey Young, member of Congress from
the Memphis District. has sent a tele-
gram from Washington, asking if the
company known as the Chickasaw
Guards world tender its services to the
Government for the purpose Of fighting
the Indians. In answer to the inquiry,
Col. Young was authorized to tender
the services of the Chickasaw Guards
for the purpose of avenging Gen. GUS
ter's death. The Chickasaws, who
number eighty rank and file, are anx-
ious for the Government to accept their
services. This offer, coming as it does
from Southern youths and ex-Confeder-
ate officers, evidences the fact that the
men who took part in the rebellion are
attached to the Union, and loyal to the
trusts Of the Government.

From Washington.

4 special telegram. to the New Or
leans Democrat, dated Washington,
18th inst, says the Democratic House
stands out b%ravely and resolutely fol
economy, and it is said that all the APP
preparation bills will be finally passed
next week, after which the ADJOURNMENT
of Congress will only be delayed by the
impeachment trial.
There is, however, a strong feeling on
the part of many members to continue
in session until after the election. A
suspicion exists that Grant may lnaugu-
rate some military movement in the
South prior to the election, unless
checked by Congress, in the interest of
the Radical party.
The public and private conduct Of
Grant for the past few days has given
rise to the impression that his mind is
affected.

in furnishing the whisky thieves and

of a brother, killed Thos. Fov and a
Mr.. Gitium in Goodman, Miss, on the
24th of December, 1874, was arrested
in Texas a few days ago and carried
back to Holmes county, Miss. The
arrest was made through the instru-
mentality of Mrs. Gillum, wife of one
of the dead gentlemen, who traced
out the whereabouts of Clark, obtained
a requisition from Gov. Stone, had
Clnrk arrested and sent back TO answer

government, for purposes OF spoilation,
oppression and self-aggrandizement, is
not necessary. That we remedied, as
far as in our power lay, at the ballot
box last November.
Some Of the issues presented in this
centennial year of our national existence
are the right Of local self>government;
The administration of the National
Government in strict accordance with
the Constitution, free from sectional or
partisan bias; reform in the Civil SER
vice. 80 much talked of and SO long de

official integrity, that onr nation may
not remain n by-word and reproach
among civilized nationalities, and the
restoration of that perfect peace and
good will that we desire to see exist be-
tween all sections Of this our common
country. The accomplishment Of these
results. the attainment Of these ends,
can only be secured by the success Of
the Democratic party of the nation at
the polls next November.
