Ware and ChriSN,aM.

There was a pubic discussion here Tues,
dav night between Col. Fl. r. Ware, OF
Brandon. and Maj J. b. Chrisrsan, OF this
place. Col. Ware opened in an address OF
one hour, and made good speech, consid-
ering the party he represents. In fact, we
consider him one Of the foremost Of Repub-
lican orators. He il an educated gentle.
man, and makes a speech that no one
could take otlense at. His remarks were
we'll received by all.
Mai. Chrisman replied in n speosh OF
about forty minutes, aud scattered to the
four winds some of his opponents points
and IN strong and emphatic language held
up the Radical party in all its hid
eous deformity, laying bare its %corruption'
and exposing its baseness. Maj. Chrismar
indicated the character OF Hon. Same
J. Tiiden, and made HIS opponent ashamed
of the charges he brought against him

Ter. As All orator and debater Maj. Chris
man has but few equals. He is a grea
man and will make his influence felt THU

deafening applause.

Does not Keep Il Hotel.

A friend who lives a few miles east Of
the railroad sends us the following piece
of irony. We judge that he wants the
public to know he does not keep a board
ing house:
The Circuit Court is in session just now,
and from appearances there must be con-
siderable business going on. What judge
from is the number of men that can't get
accommodation at the hotels and boarding
houses. AT least it is snpprsable that that
is the cause, and they have to be quito the
trouble of going to the country to get
places TO stiv at. There are rome men
who are getting along in years, ani after \
hard days set to" on a jury, there is no
fun in h,ving to catch their horses aud
start at a hazard to look ont for 4 place 10

not one item OF bu iness to attend to in a
court are the ones to bear the burdens and
exnenses of the men who go there to settle
other mems affairs. For :iy individual
mart. | wish that men who have SO tauct
business in court had to pay the EXPENSE
of the iurymen who are summoned from
all parts of the country. II seems to me
il would stop so much dife renee OF opin'
ion in matters of dealing with each other

Endorsed.

P,,rauan, IN announcement the Demo-
cratic Conservative Club OF BrooShsVeh
was recognized at the Courthouse satur-
day night, July 29th, 1876.
Hon. r II. Thompson announced the
object of the meeting, and made r strong
appeal to the Democrats and Conservative
to organize. He then called Mr.. Us. Car
son to the chair, who announced hat the
| election of officers was in ord II.
On motion the following Ulcers we're
elected: r. Fl. Thompson, P'e'ldent; }.
s. Carson, Vice-President; r. II. Henry,
Secretary; B. T. Atkins, Treasurer.
The following resolutions were unanl-
monsly adopted: -.
Resolved. That the members OF this
| Club heartily endorse the State anc Nation
al Democratic platforms, AMI the INomlna
ton of Hon. Samuel J. Tiiden and Hon,
Thomas A. Hendricks, for President and
| Vicc-President. That We, a. Demo Gratis
and Conservatives, havcimp!icitcontide nce
in the nominees, and disregard and de-
nounce the foul aud malicious slanter
promulgated against them by the party
that has, by its efforts to foster and protect
men guilty of heinous and damEing crimes
rendered itself unworthy ofthe respect or
confidence of honorable citizens. That
each and every member Of this Club not
only pledges his vote to Tilden and Hen
| bricks, but hereby agrees to use all honor
| able means to insure their election.
! Resolved, That the members of th'st1uo
! freely endorse the nomination of Hon. Z.

They are gone, thank Heaven; and none
regret their departure as much as our
friends who deal in stimulants. Weallude
to the machinery sent here to run the Re
publican Congressional Convention. And
a harder machine to get in motion than
that concern was never witnessed by
the Oldest engineers. The running-gear
had certainly got rusty and the boilers
cold, as the engineers were from early morn
till late at eve getting up sufficient steam
to set the thing in motion, notwithstanding
the ia ct they fred up With an energy that
vould have done credit to more experience
ed men.
At two o'clock the machine began to
move and soon afterwards was under full
headwsy, generating both steam and gas.
Judge Mi,lsaps, Of Hazlehurst, was elect
ed grand engineer and Mr.. Sam Steele, of
Jackson, general fireman, With Measrs.
Harvey Ware, Fred. Barrett, j. Mayo add
Jas. Hill as conductors. The conductors
we're partial in THAR treatment of Passen-
eers. In fact, two fellows, named Shaugh-
nessey and Chandler. were the only ones
they noticed at ali. Ware seemed to be in
love with Chandler. but seeing that num-
bera were against him, he deserted and
went over to ShaughNessey, and they ali
concluded that that S~hauglnessey was the
better fellow Of the two, and they agreed
t, put him on the track for Washington.
One thing they neglected. They failed to
provide their man with a through ticket,
and the Democratic champion, Col Hook
or, who is always prepared for travel Will
distance his man in the race and arrive at
the National capital long before him.
Seriously, though the occasion vas MOI
How can a man be serious when he sees
thirty-seven Radical delegates hanging
around our town all day, drinking whisky,
treating friends and spending money free
w in the interest of a man whom they de-
sired to gee nominated Just for Col. Hooker
to have the fun of thrashing worse than
his mother did when he was six years old?
1t isn't q serious matter, and excites the
rislbles of all kehoIders. Then what a
nomination was made-M. Shaughnessey,
a genuine, thoroughbred carpet Dagger; one
of the first birds to fly Southwark after the
war, in quest Of prey. There was i tolera-
bly, fair Southern man before the Conven-
ton, Mr.. G. c. Chandler, but the votes he
received, fourteen, ahow that the Radicals
still prefer the unadulterated, oily tougued
carpet-bagser, and he was given twenty
three votes.
Ifthere had ever been any fears of the
Radicals e~Iecting their candidate for Com
gress, the nomination OF Shaughnessey dis
pels them. He il the weakest man the
opposition could nave nominated, and, in
slang parlance, "will never touch bottom"
Col. Hooker will be elected. We believe. by
a majority OF four or five thousand.
The Convention adopted some reSoIu-
tons c~ondemning the Democratic Legisla-
ture for changing the Congressional Dis
~triets, they have forgotten that their in
famous party established the precedent }
endorsed the Radical platform, Hayes
Wheeler and Shaughneesey and adjourned.

lawrence county, Of typhoid fever; aged
fourteen wears.
How painfully true the adage,
"Death loves a shining mark"
\ year ago the deceased came from the
home Of MS parents in Lawrence county
and entered the school of Rev. Mr.. Shirk,
whore he remained 10 the end of the term.
His steady application to his studies gave
him 4 high standin his class, and his school
term was successful in every attribute that
merits praise. In his department both III
and out of school-never oyerstepping the
bounds Of the s~trictest propriety he won
the admiration of all who knew him, and
furnished an example worthy the imita-
ton of mature manhood. He was attack
ed during the closing exercises Of the
school, and his disc ase soon assnm.d the
most malignant type. For more thar five
weeks he wrestled with an intensity OF few
er and pain that taxed his physical endur-
ance TO its utmost tension.
Dining all this time his aged mother
and father hing around his sick ted, min.

want, and paliiating the suffering Of their
dying boy in every way the tenderest love
and the most arden, anxiety could sug-
geSt. His physician scarcely left his bed
side day or night. But no human effort
could avail him. The fell monster tri-
umphed, and surrounded by his afflicted
parents and tiieni, he Welded up his life,
sustained and soothed by an expressed hope
of a bright immortality. Is

That Speech.

We nave heard considerable talk of a
speech made by Maj r. W Millsaps before
the Radical County Convention last Satur
day, but as we we're not present we will no
comment thereon at length, We have been
informed that the speech was thoroughly
Radical in tone. and the ''bloody shirt" was
raised. Others say the speech Was moder-
ately Republican and courteous to all. II
is q matter Of some surprise that rs intelli-
gent and high standing ! gentleman as Maj.
Millsaps could be drawn into q public
speech III adyo cacy OF a party that is plas-
tered all over with indictments, and which
an indignant people, an outraged and in
jured people, says shall be throttled before
this country is irretriovably ruined. We
hope the Major will follow the advice OF
Tilden, and reform. He is not yet past
saving.
