The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1877-04-11

upou r, Fiction, remem Der Mr. Jones doc Z
trine announced in THE CLARION years ago
that inauima'e nature sympathises with ,
the actions of communities OF men. The
failure of the fruit crop In Mississippi du-
ring carpe;-bag rule was satisfactorily ex
planned to your readers. on this hypothesis.
1 see that your fruit crop promises to fall
short this year, and the High Commission
or Returning B ard is the cause.
In Texas. The CRASH 'ppers are eating up
up the gardens and wheat crops, on ac-
count of the same inquity. Strang'
sounds are heard in the air around about,
and stones have fallen from the upper
gion-. 1t was time the people were reflect
ing on these facts and making crooked
things straight. Now shall not insist on
my jay bird doctrine, but must contend
that we will never have good fruit crops
and general prosperity, until matters are
restored to their proper status.
Ifanything could have secured a boun,i-
ful fruit crop in the State of Mississippi,
the man cement Of the Treasurer's Office,
together with the official conduct of your
Auditor would have done it. The reports
OF thes, two officers, now before me, have
ELECTED universal commentator from
prominent men 81 Texas; and your State
warrants selling dollar for dollar is a cir
cumstance almost without parallel. j
don't think your fruit prospect is rs gloomy
as first reported
Speaking OF your State officers reminds
me OF the ac ion of my old singing society
in Est Mississippi. AT the last meeting
an effort was made to nominate State OH
GERS for the fail elections, aud, inasmuch as
| am still member, am called upon to
vote on the names selected. s. far no
choice for Governor Ina, been made. Stone,
Lowry, FeIthers,on, Humphreys, West,
George, Walthall Singleton, Walden and
wharton, have been presented. Mrs. Cor
nela uominltel Hon. James NJ. tIowry, of
Oxford, aud refused % hear any compto-
mise her son Jesse b came excited on the
subj -ct and the choice OF that officer lies
over.
For Secretary OF State there was no dl-
vision. Gen. Kinloch Falconer WAS unani-
mous;y chosen and heartily approve.
have not seen or heard OF another gentle
man so prompt AMI methodicil as is Gen.
r. In tine matter of Auditor OF Public Ac-
counts, there was some difference. The
administration of An litor Gibbs Is so warm
ly approved, ana he is SO clever gentle
man, so polite, SO able, and so popular, that
the people hate to give him up. His
being Republican is all there is against
him Brother Smith said piece" on
Gibbs, and showed that his clerks are hand
some, competent Democrats, and that the
Major Is almost within the fold.
Mr.. Jones i for Col. Jones :. Hamilton:
and though others were presented, C,l.
Hamilton was chosen, unanimously. Good
When the matter OF selecting Treasurer
was presented, every member Of the soci-
ety-eyery one, rose and nom mated Hem
ngway," 50 that no time was lost on thar
Office. Mrs Cornelia said it made her thinL
OF the happy days in Ge)rgil. H. T. the in
tention OF the society to get Brother Hem
ingway to make speech on farming,
stock raising ami fruit growing, and to de-
monstrate by figures and dates, that fruit
never grows abundLn-ly under Radical
rule. Noah says Col. Hemingway has a
very fine head an | the ladies all praise his
face. \ pleasing recollection of a good
and true friend prompts me to say that for
warm, generous impulses exalted m ptiVes,
clearness ofp reception, and psrspcuity of
expression, w. L. hemingway IS the peer
the best men of his day.
The Office of Attorney General came
next, and whilst FAINT, Mi'chell, -. A.
Brown Hardy, Woods Cltchings and 9th

Harper was 50 pressed by Mr.. Jones aud
Mrs Cornelil, that the ballot became uuau

attainments, an the rdre5: psr5pnu .ntes-

Next came Slparinten lent of Pdb'ic Ed

such com petent men was to consolidate our /
people, bind up all running WOunls and 10 |

terred. 1t may b. in order to say that a
warmer hearteh, more generous or braycr
man does not live in Mississippi than Ferd
Wolfe. May he live long and pro .perI
Inc following resolution was then offered
by Brother Smith sHI adopted by a rising
