II. Baldwin, of Monroe City, Indiana,
writes under date of Dec. Sd, 1871, that his
wife used DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
with wonderful results. 1t effected her en-
tire cure, after several physicians had tailed.
The many similar letters positively affirming
that the Favorite Prescription had cured the
diseases and weaknesses peculiar to woman,
induced DR.. Pierce to sell it under a guar
antee. Ladies need no longer submit to
useless and painful local treatment, as the
Favori.e Prescription is safe, sure and
speedy cure. Hundreds who had been bed
ridden for years have been restrored to per-
feet health BY its use.

THE TRUE MEANING OF H.

The true solution of the Yazoo idea may
he ;rternreted to mesn that the people OF
that county are not wiling to take any
chances for a restoration of race antago-
risms and another era of ignorant ana cor
rupt negro rule, The sentiment is very gen
erollv shared by moderate and conservative
men in all parts of Mississippi Inc Tue
;r+erests of the State have suffered enough
nv this miserable rule, and it can hardly be
exnected that the people are prepared 10
tolerate itagain. There is no disposition 10
interfere with the absolute freedom OF
voters 1t is the deadly clash OF races
that sagacious men dread and intend 10
avert Gentlemen OF Greenback or lnde'
pendent or Sorehead, or any other F'na OF
nroclivit;es have IN undoubted right to run
for Office and get themselves elected py al
foir means, if possible. No body has any
RIGHT to object to it. But if gentlemen OF
the opposition, whatever it may be Called
find their cause SO gauzy and transpa>
rently fraudulent as to drive OH the true
and thinking white men OF the otaVe' ie'
them not undertake to save their sinking
ship by an attempt to array and mass 'ne
ignorant negro population against INT
whites Such an attempt is dangerous &c
| the neace of society and creates neces
s;tv which has been happily averted thus
for Let us have no more ''loyal leagues,
midnight meetings, and exclusive rac'
haraneues. Let there be no more placi
clouds of prejudice and hate stirred up Il
chic State Let so-called Greenbacker
meet in open day, advocate their measures
openly before both races, and accord Ill
equal division of time with their opponents
If there is superior virtue in their prlncl
| Piles or party there is nothing to proven
| their success in this manly way. But
thew feel too weak for this, they must
able 10 see that the massing of the negroe
and the stirring up of their prejudices
fears, and hostility must be deadly to tni
State and they will not attempt to do TIL
| if there is any true patriotism IN tnel
souls. And if they do attempt it they al
certain to fail. We appeal to their con

common interest in Mississippi to put tn
tempting bait away There is cont"min

THE Yazoo Sentinel is evidently an en-
terprising paper. 1t gets news that no
other paper i'll the United States is able to
get In its last Issue the world is informed
through its lively columns, by special tele-
graph from jackson, dated July %, 1879
that there were If new cases and nine
deaths that day il jackson from yellow
fever. The dispatch is addressed to N. IL.
Luse, and signed J. 1t is surmiaed that
perhaps jackson" is typographical error
for Memphis. If so, the mistake can be
explained on that ground, but if not 1t
must be set down to the spirit Of enterprise
on the part of the conductor of the SENT
mel. as the news has no foundation Oh
rumor even to rest on.

From note published elsewhere, 1t APP
pears that the hard-up Radicai-G reenback
leaders have made an unauthorized use OF
the name of Judge d. W. Hurst, one OF the
ablest men of the State. There ID some
excuse for these gentlemen, as they may not
be able to find respectable men enough IN
South Mississippi belonging to the so-caliea
party to give that section a showing Oh
their committees. Still, we don't blame
Judge Hurst for objecting to the associa-
ton. 1t is natural for a man to rebel
against having himself fixed, whether or
no. in a party for which he has no respect,
and no sympathy. VIII the gentlemen Vi
the Greenback Executive Committee please
excuse Judge Hurst
