AN ESSAY.

Read July 14th before the ICONS Station
Christian Temperance Union by Miss
MAMIE BARHAM, and published by re-
quest of the society.
Temperance and IntsrnPerance.
An Incorporate man is frenzied at the
suspicion of an insult; he is outrageous at
the appearance of an opposition; he con-
strues everything into an offence and at
offence he is implacable; he is revengeful
unto death at the least indignity while his
appetite is aroused TO ungovernabIe strength
by the Temotest object Of qualification; he il
as dangerous a ferocious beast, a,I l ask
what is there te prevent any man thus be-
reft of conscience and reason and surrend-
cred for the time to the dominion OF pas
sion and appetite from committing any
crime which the circumstances around him
may suggest. Such is the effect of intern
perance, but when this first stage has passed
away the second is scarcely more enviable.
He is now as likely to commit crime
from utter hopeIessnes5 as before from fren-
zied impetuosity. The horror OF his situa-
ton now bursts upon him in all it's reality.
Poverty, want, disgrace and misery which
he has brought upon himself, his family
and his friends, all stand before him in the
most aggravated form, rendered yet more
appalling by the consciousness that he
has lost all power Of resistance and all the
energies Of self government are Frustrated
within him. He has not moral power TO
resist the temptations that is destroying him.
Hence YOU find such men the constant at
tend2nts upon gambling houses, the aszoci-
ates, partners and instruments Of thieves.
And not unfrequently do you find them end
ing their days by self-inaieted murder. Oh!
had I the ability to depict to your minds the
denominations, the tears aud Affections, the
maniac grin and griraaces and the murders
that are committed by men made demons
by intoxicating drinks. Pause awhile, you
travellers in the world, contemplate the uni
verse in which you live. Behold the glory
of Him who created 1t. What a scene Of
wonders is here presented TO your view
What a field is here for the exercise Of CRATE
full emotion for awakening the sensibility of
the soul. Here is infinite power to impress
you with ave: here is irGrife wisdom - FIJI

From Whiteville.
July 18th, 1877,

JULY 1CIH, lCII,
Messrs. Editors:
The schools have disbanded, the
students have gone home, and the
teachers are drawing a long breath.
The students see a bright perspective
of a few weeks rest, picnics where
laugh answers laugh, merry eyes
twinkle to merry eyes again and are
happy. We are trying nightly to
take things coolly now, but this is
somewhat hard to do with the mercury
in the thermometer doing its best to
crowd out at the top. 1t is hot here
Messrs. Editors. Isn't that a revela-
ton? Whiteville is in a profuse pers-
piration, she stands Invested of all I'M
necessary clothing and fans as if for
life. When this gets mOnOtonOus she
goes and inspects the thermometer.
That quickens the tanning process,
she wishes she had big lump Of ice
to drop in her water bucket. She
tries to cool herself by thinking of the
ice and snow that she will have on
hand next winter; but it is all in vain,
and she finds that she mus
perspire it out.
Our worthy merchants are doing a
good business [ believe, for this dull
season of the year Our physicians
find it so healthy that there is a mate
rial interference with the musical
clinking of silver dollars.
Our pleasant little village has this
morning sustained an irreparable loss
in the departure of that princess of
social song, Miss Sallie Caldwell, of
Somerville. There is a waste place
in many a heart, but as nature detests
vacant spots, some at least of the owners
of those hearts will have urgent business
before many moons down at Somer-
vile. Miss c., is one of those young
ladies in whom talent, grace and fea-
lures lighted up with happiness and
amiabiIity are united to form a splend-
id specimen of womanhoOd. May the
most fragrant flowers carpet the paths
where her footsteps shall lead, and the
sweetest sOng-birds trill their raptur
Gus notes about her chamber window
in tones rivalling her own in joy-giv-
ing melody. More Anon.

July Goth, 1873.
Messrs. Editors:
On Saturday July 10Th, we enjoyed
a most delightful time in district Eight,
under the beeches on the north bank
of Cub creek near the Edmond Reaves
place in the shape of splendid bar
becue, which was cotton up by the
very social citizens of that vicinity.
That excellent order was observed
throughout the entire day speaks well
for that community. Mr.. Monroe
Webb is a real leader in getting up
good barbecues and having good or
der. We have been present on many
occasions like this, but never have we
witnessed Just such an one. All vas
social. There was no public speak
ing Of any kind. 1t seemed to be
originated for the purpose that the
people, young and old of both sex
might come together and enjoy them
selves in social chat, and otherwise as
best, it might please them. Some
even tripped the fantastic toe to the
tune of delightful music. AL was
peace and harmony. But how could it
be otherwise The following was the
order of the day. The ladies were
first marched to the table led by violin
music The same order was observed
with the gentlemen. The following
gentlemen had been appointed guards:
q. Taught, S. B. Harriss, J. r. Doyle,
j. w. Jacobs, NJ c.. Webb and Bale
Macon. The following were appoint
ed carvers: !. T. Stevens, Mike Car
away, H. B. Cheshier, James Carter,
Andrew Sain and I. J. Hudson. The
following walters were appointed,
John Webb, Willie Cheshier, C. H.
Hainhne, John Crisp, J. B, Hudson,
J. T. Grantham, J. L. Hudson and
c. d. Russell. Every one performed
his part well, peace reigned and there
was plenty, plenty to eat, plenty of
cool shade and plenty of candidates.
And it was strictly speaking a delight
full barbecue.
We will now close by telling you
that the crops arc fine and health
good in this section. May good fog
tune and prosperity attend YOU always.

The shields Murder Case.

The trial of Phillips and Burrow
for numbering old man Shields was
decided by the jury finding a verdict
of murder in the first degree without
any mitigating circumstances and a
very righteous verdict it is. Messrs.

Tended the prisoners and General
Dupuy represented the State. The

Messrs Editors:
Not seeing anything Of late in your most
worthy paper from this section, permit me
to say a word. Cotton and corn crops look
well, the prospects good for an abundant
yield. Many of our citizens attended court
this week. Last week while in town heard
Major Sykes speak on the State debt and in
favor of the bondholders. think he must
be employed by them to bulldoze the peo-
pie. We have been told so often this same
Aattering story that We have learned it by
heart. For one, am in favor of paying
the bondholder no more than a very small
amount of the bond, and if he won't take
that much, then repudiate the whole thing
They had as we'll to lose some as for the
people to lose all. l think the next legisla-
ture should look to the interest of the debtor
side and not so much to the side OF the
creditor
The twenty-three millions now due by
the State should be disposed of in some
way very soon. The interest is getting
larger each day. Hardeman county must
be represented in the next legislature by
some man who has the ability and the
nerve to make her voice be heard on this
question. No more called sessions are
wanted. The people are sorely feeling the
pressure of hard times, made doubIy hard
by the scarcity of money.
The money monopolists are the ones re
sponsible for this order of things. Were it
not for the bondholding class we would hear
no more Of hard times. The people are
tired working for pets and favorites and as
long as the present state of affairs lasts it
will enrich the few and impoVerish the
many. Respectfully.

Respected Editors:
Allow me to write word or two Of
the dear one whose name Is named
above. He died away from home, but
still he was surrounded by friends, for
he always won the hearts Of acquaiDt-
ances. He was a noble brother; both
true and devoted. His loss will be
greatly felt by his family and the COM
munity generally. He was engaged
at the South Western University Jack
son, and was justly held in high esteem
at that institution His death was so
sudden that it shocked his family.
He was a sincere christian and died
as Oh upright man only dies. May
the Good Shepherd override this afaic-
ton to the good Of the family.

and blood, the action of the brain and ner-
vous system, are all Immediately connected
with the workings of the Liver. 1t has

gust Flower is unequalled in curing all per
sons afflicted with Dyspepsia or Liver Com
plant, and all the numerous symptoms that
result from an unhealthy condition of the
Liver and Stomach. Sample bottles to try,
