Water Valley Prospecting.

Correspondent Memphis Appeal
This place has grown to be one of much
importance; more so, in many respects,
than any place on the Chicago St. Louis
and New Orleans Railroad. Little less
than eight thousand inhabitants-one
thousand foreigners, mostly Swedes-me-
chanics, machinists, etc. (no ostracism
here) Five thousand, perhaps, work in
the large shops here. Everything is carried
on Systematically, manufacturing the lar
gest engines-thirty-eigh tons-making
boilers out of the finest steel. The company
make their platform, box and passenger
cars of fine order. Their foundry is
second to none in the States, using mostly
Tennessee iron, coal, etc. Only few days
since they put one hundred and ten loaded
cars in Jackson, Tennessee. Heavy goods,
the blockade by yellow fever and the low
stage of water in the Mississippi, have in
creased their freights unprecedentedly,
running twelve to fifteen freight trains
daily

Meridian Mercury.1
We have at last located that Friday hon.
icide, and it was not only not in Scooba, nor
about there, nor in Kemper, even. The
killing occurred at, or near, Warsaw. in
Sumter county, Alabama The parties to
the affair-Moore and Tompkins-liVed
near and west of Warsaw, and, it is under
stood, were near neighbors, probably having
farms adjoining. We have some rumors
and. probably, one-sided, at that, particulars
OF the affair. The two men had quarreled
where, not stated, but, probably, at
Warsaw-and had patched up a peace.
Moore got on his horse and rode off Temp
kins soon mounted and rode after him.
Overtaking him, he announced to Moore
that he was not satisfied with the settlement
of the difficulty, and told him it had to be
finally settled then and there. A difficulty
ensued and Moore shot Tompkins in the
breast, killing him on the spot. Whether
there were any witnesses to the affair we
have not heard. Moore seems to have
deemed it prudent TO put himself across the
State line, near by, for the time, and came
over to Scooba, which point he reached that
night in time to telegraph to Capt. Woods
to come to give him legal advice before he
would surrender himself to the law Capt
Woods promptly went up Saturday morning.
1t was understood Moore was at, or about,
Scooba, but not visible to people. Doubt
less he had an interview with his client.
Moore was pursued by parties from Sumter
to ScOOba who expressed a determination to
to have him, dead or alive.

THE SUN FOR 1850.

The Sun will deal with the events of the
year 1880 in its own fashion, now pretty well
understood by everybody. From January l
until December 81 il viii be conducted a. a
newspaper, written in the English language,
and printed for the people.
As newspaper, The Sun believes in getting
all the news of the world promptly, and pre-
sentIng il in the most intelliRible shape-the
abreast of the age with the least unproduetiye
expenditure of time. The greatest interest to
the greatest number-that Is, the law control
ling its daily makeup 1t now has circula-
ton very much larger than that of any other
American newspaper, and enjoys an income
which ii Is at all times prepared to spend
literally for the benefit of its readers. Peo-
pie of all conditions of life and all ways Of
thinking buy and read THE sun; and they all
derive satisfaction of some sort from its col
umns, for they keep on buying and reading
it.
In its comments on men and affairs, TIE
Sun believes that the only guide of policy
should be common sense, inspired by genuine
American principles and backed by honesty
of purpose. For this reason il is, and win
continue to be, absolutely independent OF
party, class, clique, organization, or interest
1t is for all, but OF none. 1t will continue to
praise what is good and reprobate what is
evil, taking care that its language is to the
point and plain, beyond the possibility of
being misunderstood. 1t is uninhuenced by
motives that do not appear on the surface; it
has no OPT mons to SELL save those which may
be had by any purchaser with two cents 1t
hates injustice and rascality even more than
it hates unnecessary words 1t abhors frauds
pities fools, and deplores nincompoops Of
every species. 1t will continue throughout
the year 1880 to chastise the frst-cass, instruct
the second, and discoun tenRnce the third. a II
honest men, with honest convictions, whether
sound or mistaken are its friends, And The
Sun makes no bones of telling the truth to its
friends and about its friends whenever occa-
sion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which THE
Sun will be nducted during the year to
come.
The year 1880 will be one in which no patri-
otto American can afford to close his eyes to
public affairs, it is impossible to exsggerate

Destructive Fire at Bolton.

The prospecting town of Bolton met with
quite setback last Saturday night in the
destruction by fire of half dozen or more
buildings. The fire originated in the Wal
ton House, near the depot. This house, the
property of Mrs. Nellie Myrick, was de-
stroyed; no insurance, and loss about
81, 100000. The other buildings burned were
owned by R. A. Myrick, Crook & Gaddis,
Miss Jennie Shotner, and Westheimer's
building, occupied by Mrs. S. E. Murrell.
The loss, above insurance, is considerable.
Bolton has no fire apparatus. The organi-
cation ola well equipped fire company would
be good investment.

From the Baltimore Gazette
Some months ago letter was published
in the Gazette which Gov. Hendricks
wrote to friend in Washington, in which
he positively declined to be candidatefor the
second place on the ticket in 1880. He
has so far adhered firmly to this decision,
and nothing has shaken him but the pro-
posed nomination of Gov. Seymour. Mr..
Hendricks has indicated i'll the past few
days to friends here that if the Democracy
thought it essential to the success of the
party that he should take the second place
with Gov. Seymour, he would do so.
