To the People 0f7fississip-
nj C0uss(y.

imc, we Hdd ourselves approach
ing general election, TO choose
State and County officers 10 serve
during the ensuing two years. The
ranvass has already opened. aud
once more do present myself be
fore you, Il cand'date for re election
10 The oi,ice Of Sheriff and Collector
OF Mi.sissippI County. Under or.
dinary circumstances, should feel
that IN making this simple an
uouncemeu,, ! had done all that
was necessary, or that was requir-
ed AT my bands. Daving for the
past five years served you and the
state IN that b "a iiduciary capacity;
having fer this long period been
before you, end among you, aud
with you, both oiiicialy aud unoill
.cial'y; bavipg had my every nc.
wa.ched and sc,u,loized by ali eyes.
friendly aud un!riendly; 1t would
seem that | needed only to declare
my candidacy for continuation OF
my term, and TO leave The balance
10 your hands, certain of that en-.
phalic endorsement which "A gener-
Gus people always give an honest
aud efficient official. Bui uhe 3acil-
'ty with which u crop Of candidates
springs ~ for every Office of trust
and emo!umcnt, and the desperate
means which are rcsorlcd to by un-
sorurrlous opponents TO blacken a
mans character wheD BIO happens
to stand in lhcir way, arc my excuse
aud indrcemcnt for adding IL my
few words concern
ins myself.
For some time past-indesd. be-
fore the picsen, canvass was open
ed. l have occasionally heard that
certain par.ies were in the habit OF
asserting that was u deiaul.er TO
tho State, that a discrepancy exist.
ed between my books and those OF
other departments Of the county,
clc. etc. could trace these rumors
TO no reiialte source, and Knowing
how utterly false aud bascless such
allegations were, paid but li:tle
attention to them. | felt the more
easy as | had receipts in fall Tor all
demands against me both by the
State and County; and also from
The fact that there was in existence
q report made by committee OF
The Grand Jury, who had spent
some time on my books, and who
declared them to be correct and
straight. l was, therefore, no,
much surprised when | heard, a few
weeks ago, that an active orponen.
of m,ne (noi, as yet, ] am sorry to
say, a candidate for sheriff. was

The Parish Debt.

Mr.. EDITOR: Please allow few
words more concerning the Parish
debt. Let me illustrate. Suppose
that "Tax Payer is proprietor of a
large establishment requiring an
annual expenditure for material,
hands, etc. from $4,000 to $4,000
according to the manner of pay
ment, and that he has an available
cash capital may be levied and
collected in currency in the form of
taxes from the people) but chooses
to conduct his business on the cred.
it system. He appoints an agent
and instructs him to purchase ma
terial, employ hands, ETC., and that
he issues his paper scrip or obi
CATION to pay on demand to his
creditors. The agent learns at
once that he must promise twice
the amount that would be required
in currency; he pursues this policy
for four or five years. BY this
time the establishment is in debt
about eos, 900, and the principal is
rather seriously concerned about
his affairs-he does not abandon
the credit system (scrip policy but
orders great retrenchment and econ
omy in every department Of his
business, and at the expiration o.
two more years his agent has pait
current expenses and reduced the
old debt $4,000. The current ex
penses are still $4,000 annually
one third of the old debt is in tn
form of judgments and very 1901

A DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.

Nibbs went home at twelve. Twas unus-
ually late
For him, and he made conjecture
That lone Mrs. N. would remain up and
wait
His coming to give him lecture.
He entered the house and began an excuse
But she was too angry TO listen,
And, turning upon him, she made rapid use
OF her tongue, while her eyes did glisten
He eringed like culprit awaiting his
doom,
And while at the height Of her passion
He beat retreat to the little bedroom
And planned to escape such lashin'.
He took up bolster that lay on chair
And under the covers he rolled it,
Then, pulling his boots, he asccnded the
stair,
And left her to foolishly scold it.
She entered the room and she cuttingly
said,
"You'rc cruel and false and unfeeling-
You know that you are, and you cover your
head
As if you we're guilty of stealing"
She put out the light, and she scorufally lay
With her back to the hulk without turn
ing.
For fully two hours she scolded away;
But when she discovered next morning
The ghostly deception she uttered a shrek,
And swooned for an hour, and was sick for
aweck.
For what he had done he pretended to
grieve-
He petted and talked to her sweetly-
And yet on the sly he would laugh in his
sleeve
To think she was conquered completely.
Rcgainng her health she became very
meek;
She murlnurcd no more when neglected.
Though he went ut pleasure six nights in
the week,
But hc-ah, lie little suspected
That there was woman's resentment con-
Away in her bosom's ripe kernel
That closet whose contents are never re-
vealed

With sulphurous language that woke her
Declaring that since she had proven untrue

Platform Of the National Party.

The following is the platform Of
the National party, adopted at To-
ledo, Ohio, February ~, 1873:
Whereas, throughout our entire
country the value of real estate is
depf eciated, industry paralyzed,
trade depressed, business incomes
and wages reduced, unparalleled
distress inflicted upon the poorer
and middle ranks Of our people, the
land filed with fraud, embezzlement,
bankruptcy, crime, suffering, pau
perism and starvation; and whereas
this state of things has been brought
about by legislation in the interest
of and dictated by money lenders,
bankers and bondholders; aud where.
as, while we recognize the fact that
the men in Congress connected with
the old political parties have stood
up manfully for the rights Of the
people, and met the threats of the
money power and the ridicule of an
ignorant and subsidized press, yet
neither the Republican nor the
Democratic parties in their national
policies propose remedies for the ex.
listing evils; and whereas, the indie
pendent Greenback party aud other
associations, moro or less effective,
have been unable hitherto to make
| a formidable opposition to old party
organizations; and whereas, the lin.
iting of the legal tender quality OF
greenbacks, the changing Of curren
cy bonds into coin bonds, the de
monetization of the silver dollar, the
excepting of bonds from taxation
the contraction Of the circulating
medium, the proposed forced resum
ton of specie payments and the
prodigal waste Of the public lands
we're crimes against the people; and
as far a. possible, the result of thes'
criminal acts must be cOunteract
ed by judicious Legislation;
Therefore we assemble in nationo
convention and make q declaration
OF our principles, and invite all pa
triotic citizens to unite In an effor
to secure financial reform and indui
, trial emancipation. The organizs
, ton shall be known as the "Nstior

will perfect without delay national
