Business improving.

Business improving
Weather and wind changeable enough last
week to suit the most fastidious.
Complaints of rust in cotton as common now
as that of the army worm.
The family of Capt Tom Dickson, of vicks
burg, returned home Friday evening.
The young men who visited Hailey's lake this
last week, have returned, and report that the
fishing was not good as usual owing TO the
rise in Pearl river.
We were presented a short time since with
several apples by DR.. Hillman, that raised
by him at the Institute; they were certainly as
hne Mississippi raised apples ever saw,
and think they would have compared favora5ly
with any raised in other States.
We understand that prominent Greenbaeker
OF this county has said that, what few Green
hackers are in Clinton such d-m rascals,
that their party cant get any footing here.
We think the gentleman is somewhat miSta ken,
as We don't know of avowed Greenbacker
in town.
With pleasure we note the improvements be
ing made at the Institute by Dr. Hillman,
whose greatest aim always seems to be, not only
to give his pupils the most thorough instrue-
ton, bnt 10 make their stay at the Institute as
comfortable and pleasant, as though they were
really at home.
On the night Of the 22d, we had the pleasure
of attending the dance given by the young men
OF Clinton and owing to the inclemeney OF the
weather, we were agreeably surprised to so
many beautiful young ladies and, well yes,
handsome young men; in attendance ready to
trip the light fantastic toe TO the inspiring
mnsic of the band. Quite number were pres
ent from Bottoms, jackson and Edwards, and
all indeed enjoyed themselves to the fullest
tent, and the managers are much elated at
their success, that they already talking OF
another, and we especially felt thankful to the
young men for our share of the delightful re-
freshments which were in superabundance.

BOLTON ITEMS.

Good health still prevails in our town and
vicinity.
Capt A. NJ Rafter, of this place, delivered a
lecture on the Causes of the Bible, at the Meth
odist church last Sunday.
We will venture the assertion that for nobby
teams and handsome turn-Outs, no place of its
size can compare with our delightful and thriv-
ing little town of Bolton.
The Improvement that Messrs. Cook & Gaddis
have made to their store house makes 1t look
like new building, and they now have ample
room to meet every requirement of their
business.
Mr. c. L. Robinson, of Robinson & Williams,
of this place and a. H. Bradley, of Bradley d
Son brownsville left last Wednesday night for
New York, where they will make purchases for
their respective houses for the fall trade.
Capt j. P Withers, of the firm of Withers &
Black, left on the 18th for the Narth and East,
where he intends purchasing their immense
stock of fall and winter stock. Our citizens
may look for something good when it arrives.
Mr. Richard Hume, of Queens Hill, brought
in two more wagon loads of fine watermeIons
last week. Mr. Hume has certainly carried off
the blue ribbon for the largest quantity and
finest quality of melons raised this season.
Again we've had more rain. slight shower
prevailed last Friday and Saturday, much to
the dissatisfaction of the farmers, for they had
hoped that the rain was done with for a while,
gather their crops in.
Our first bale of new cotton land we believe
the first in the county, was brought to town last

bought by the wide-awake firm of c. c. Park
man & Co, at 10 cents per pound.
Our clever railroad agent, J. HI. Powell, re-
ceived one day last week. from st. Louis, a
handsome bay horse. Joe says he don't see
why he shouldn't sport fast team well as
some of the rest of them, and then, too, the dig
nifty and standing of the railroad must be sus-
tanned at all hazards.
Wonder what has become of the big scheme
that on foot to enlarge our school house
and employ an additional teacher. We hope
that the project has not been abandoned. The
advantage of a frst-class school is something
that our growing town requires, and is a matter
that should be attended to at once.
Messrs Walton Bros. inform us that their pat
ent window protector and ventilators will posi-
lively arrive this week, when they will be pre-
pared to fill orders for their truly useful and

ticIe which is unquestionably needed in every
enterprising firm of ii. b. Bruser, 159 Wash

IN MEMORIAM.

Died in Jackson, Miss, the 18th day of An
gust, 1879, SARAH c. Addison, wife of A. J
Addison, in the 41st year of her age.
Mrs. Addison was born in Abbeville District
South Carolina, and was at the time of her death
.forty-one years old her father Mr.. - Mealy
moved to Holmes county, Miss, from South
Carolina, in 1916. Mrs Addison was in many
respects remarkable woman; although her con
stitution was never very strong, she possessed a
power of WILL of selfcommand and nervous
vitality that enabled her to accomplish what
very few with robust constitution could get
through with In the care OF the sick she never
tired; in minstering to the comfort and happi-
ness of her family and friends she was never
weary. No child ever had more loving and
tender mother no man. more devoted wife, no
one a truer friend those of US who were so
fortunate as to be among her friends, will reckon
that friendship a hallowed memory as long as
we may live She a true and earnest chris
tian for long time, she has been connected
with the church, and she lived and died a happy
christian. And when the shadows of death
were falling around her, and her loved ones had
gathered to take their last look upon her loving
face, a sweet calm smile of perfect faith and
trust, passed over her, and she had "passed
over the river" Her husband and six children
will miss her-oh! much, they are indeed
bereaved. b.

United States District Attorney Stewart L
Woodford, will leave this city for DeKalb
the county seat of Kemper, in Mississippi, or
Monday next, to conduct the prosecution o.
the trial of the alleged principals in the ven
delta which excited Kemper in 1877, and in
which Judge Chisholm, his son and his daugh
ter Cornelia, aged eighteen years, were killed
BY political mob, who broke into the jail al
that place. The affair created an intense
sensation at the time, which extended all over
the country, and the feelings aroused by il
have not been allayed in the South. A Her
aid reporter was yesterday informed by Gen
eral Woodford that he would meet Mrs. w
w. Chisholm, the widow of the murdered
man. at Harrisburg Pa, and that she would
accompany him to Mississippi to attend the
trial. The proceedings will take place at the
opening of the court in September. Further
than this, he said, he did not think it would
be proper for him to say anything on the
subject at the present time.

Habeas Corpus Case.

One Mayors, sentenced to the Penitentiary
from Franklin county for grand larceny, for
the term Of one year, having served out his
term, was held by the lessees, under the Act
of 1873, until such time as the costs incident
to his trial and conviction are satisfied, at the
rate OF % cents per day. Sci Green, Esq,
appearing for the prisoner, yesterday applied
to Judge Peyton for a writ of habeas corpus,
maintaining that the Act of 1878 is unconsti-
tutional, in so far as it provides imprisonment
for debt. The Judge declined to grant the
writ deciding that the Act is constitutional
that the detention, to satisfy costs, is intended
as part of the punishment for the crime
committed. Jas. Shelton, Esq, argued the
case for the lessees.

A Model Greenback Leader.

According TO all accounts, Scion Chase the
leader of the Greenbackers in Maine, is the
fright man in the right place" He never
succeeded in anything financially. Politically,
he has been everything by turns and nothing
long" He was originally a Wing, then a
Democrat, then Republican, then Johnson
tie, then again Democrat, then an Indepen-
dent Democrat and now Greenbacker. In
1868 he was in favor of specie payments, and
wrote tract abusing the Administration for
not resuming. 1t is pretty safe to say that
when the people become thoroughly acquaint-
ed with such would-be leaders as he, it will
not take long for them to spew them out.

Circular Of The State Executive Com
mittee of The Dem0cratie-COn-
sentative Party.
JACKSON. Miss. August 4th. 1879.

JACKSON, Miss, August 4th, 1879.
The State Executive Committee earnestly
advises the Democratic Conservative party in
Mississippi to organize Clubs in the different
voting districts, and County Executive Com
mittees, without delay, where they have not
already done so. Upon proper notice, the
voters can be called at some convenient place
and time and proceed to effect an organi-
cation
In each county there should be a Central
Committee, with a Chairman, convenient to
the county seat and recommended for his zeal
and executive ability. County Committees
can be chosen by representatives oil the Clubs
in general county meeting.
The Clubs should hold regular meetings and
provide measures for challenging doubtful vo-
tiers, revising the registration and securing an
active canvass, 80 as to- develope the full
strength Of the party in the election, provid-
ing tickets, etc They should make regular
reports 10 the county Committees as 70 LAeIl-
bership, progress, and other matters apper
tanning TO the canvass; and the County Com
mittees are requested to report to the State
Committee.
Experience shows that the success of a can
vass depends mainly upon the efficiency of
the local organizations, and too much care
cannot be taken to keep them in good working
order.
Relieved from the menace Of organized OPP
position, majorities are liable to become in
different to the maintenance Of their own or
ganization, and TO divide among themselves.
1t should be remembered that the reforms
which have been inaugurated can be perfect
ed and carried out only by rigid adherence to
the discipline and observance of the methods
by which the victories OF 1875, '76, and II
were won.
