OUR COUNTY TICKET.

wa" NNSt'A
Literally speaking, with no vague
prctensions or frugal desire to par
ticularize, or to enhance trium
phantly or misapprehensiyely, Or in
other words to elbow u own
bugle," yet we will, with all due pro.
priety, take OCCASION to pronounce
our county ticket, as now composed.
to be one of the strongest and
surest that probably has ever been
selected and nominated by the dem-
ocratic party of this county.
A glance at the names of the
gentlemen who constitute the ticket
at once is recognizable, and assures
the inference and confidence of the
people that if elected by them TO the
offices for which they were nomi-
mated they, the people, will be rep
resented by men of purely honest
and upright principles, of intelli-
gent minds, and men who, knowing
the duties assigned them, will dare
do and perform the same.
The present candidate for the
Office Of sheriff Of this county. J. E..
Clark, is a gentleman who, during
his first term as sheriff elici,ed and
commended the appreciation of the
people, and proved q most vigilant
and efficient officer TO the county,
and we venture 10 assert will do SO
again if elected to the office.
Hon. Chas. Fl. Wood, candidate
for Legislative honors, q young aud
promising lawyer Ct Moss Point, is
a gentleman whom we believe
knowing the wants and interests Of
his county, and the people, would,
if elected and sent to the legisIa,
ture, accreditably represent our
county.
DR.. j. K. Mcleod, aspirant for
treasurer, and a respectable and
bonorod citizen Of Moss Point, is
one unto whom no more responsible
greater charge than that of the
finances of the county could be more
afely entrusted with, and who
would secure the good will of the
if elected by them.
The other gentlemen comprising
be remainder of the ticket, Messrs.
Ramsay and Johnson, as
,irants for assessor, surveyor, and
oroner and ranger, r well quali~
led for the Offices which they were
nominated and asTire, and being
rue and prominent citizens viii,
When elected, prove efficient officers
o the county. We would call
pom all citizens Of the county to
upport the above ticket, and place
n Office men whom they could re-
ose confidence and assurance.

How to Treat Insect Sting.

The pain caused by the sting of plant
or insect is the result of a certain amount
of acid poison injected into the blood. The
first thing to be done is to press the tube of
small key firmly on the wound, moving
the key from side TO side to facilitate the
expulsion of the sting and its accompany
ing poison. The sting, ifleft in the wound,
should be carefully extracted, otherwise it
will greatly increase. the local irritation.
The poison of stings being acid, common
sense points TO the alkalies as the proper
means Of cure. Among the most easily
procured remedies may be mentioned, soft
soap, liquor OF ammonia (spirits of harts-
horn), smelling salts, washing soda, quick
lime made into paste with water, lime
water, the juice of an onion, tobacco juice,
chewed tobacco, bruised dock leaves, toma-
to juice, wood ashes, tobacco ash, and car
Donate of soda.
II the sting be severe, rest and GOODNESS
should be added 10 the other remedies,
more especially in the case of nervous SUBJ
jects. Nothing is so apt TO make the poison
active as heat, and nothing fsvors its activ-
ity less than cold. Let the body be kept
cool and at rest, and the activity of the poi
son will be reduced to a minimum. Any
active exertion whereby the circulation Is
quickened will increase both pain and
swelling. If the swelling be severe, the
part may be rubbed with sweet oil or a
drop or two of lsudanum. Stings in the
eye, ear, mouth, or throat, sometimes lead
TO serious consequences in such cases
medical advice should always be sought as
soon as possible.-London Garden.

IRISH FARMERS IN NEW ENGLAND
The Boston Commercial Bulletin says:
"The change in the character of mill oper-
atives in New England during the past
quarter of a century is we'll known. Until
within that period they were mostly Amer
leans, the female help principally girls,
from the New England farms. To-day that
class are almost entirely out of the mills,
and their places are filled with Irish and
French Canadians. The last State census
shows that similar process of change has
been in progress in Massachusetts farming.
The reports published do not give these de-
tails, and as yet it is impossible to state the
magnitude of the change, but very large
number of Massachusetts farms are now
owned by our Irish and Canadian fellow
citizens, who have bought out the natives
and are settling down 10 steady agricultur-
al life. 1t is a matter for regret that the av-
erage Yankee is losing the patience in toll
which is needed for agricultural pursuits,
but 1t 10 Offset by the qualification at find
ing the foreign citizens acquiring the hab-
its of economy and thrift which the fact we
have mentioned shows. "A stake in the
ground is the best guaranty of good citi-
zenship. Ownership of real estate makes
men conservative and improves the quail
~ of their citizenship"
